Circle Slide Book Album

Mary Giemza is a very talented cardmaker...  and she has gladly accepted to share with us this lovely tutorial...  a Circle Slide Book Album.

Here's how it is done:

I’ve been really excited to share this photo album I made for my daughter who recently gave birth to the most beautiful little baby girl ~ Quinn (a/k/a Quinney poo)!
 
It’s not a normal album either ~ each page has a mini hidden slide-out photo page.   As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for an album keepsake for the whole family.      (Please keep in mind, I’m a card girl (My Cardz) and this is my FIRST attempt at scrapbooking!  Although, I do think I have discovered a NEW hobby!!)

Here’s how the “hidden” photo is revealed . . .    (it slides out!)

And a closeup view . . .

Pretty cool, huh?  These are photos of my VERY pregnant daughter from just a few weeks ago!   

In trying to not overwhelm you, I won’t show each and every photo from the album, since there are a total of six pages, PLUS six hidden photos.     I did, however, put together a wee-little slide show of the entire album which can be found at the end of this post!    Yep, just a proud grandma!

I just LOVE this type of album, I think it would make a perfect gift for Christmas, birthdays, new babies!        The album is being sold over at I Brake For Stamps.  

I have a few photos to show you how super easy it is to put together.   This is what you will receive in your package . . .

 

It may look confusing at first, but believe me ~  if I can do it  —  anyone can!      Your first step is to take one of the black chipboard spacers and a black chipboard circle . . .

 

and glue them together . . . always being sure to line up the punched holes.

 

You then peel off the blue protective film from one of the clear pull outs . . .

 

and glue two black chipboard pull tabs to the front and back of the square end.   (I’ve left the film on so you could see it a little easier in this photo.)

 

Lay this tabbed insert inside your glued circle as shown below . . .

 

and glue a second chipboard circle on top ~ always being sure to line up the punched holes.

 

That’s it!    (Of course, you have two more to put together.)     The album pages measure 8 1/2 inches, so I cut out all of my papers/cardstock  . . .

 

and used one of the chipboard pull tabs as a guide to cut this section to adhere to the album.

 

Since I was using double-sided papers, I marked the back of each piece so I would know which side I had planned to use.

 

And now the REAL fun begins!    Adding your photos and embellishments.    I decided to cover the clear plastic pull outs with DP also, which was not necessary – if you decide to do this, one little suggestion I have to make your life a little easier, cut and measure these BEFORE you glue your album together!   Live and learn!    If you do purchase one and run into ANY problems, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll try to help.

ABC-Album

Isn’t it cute? I made this album as a present for our cat sitter who’s totally obsessed with our cat. But it works with other subjects as well – kids, parents, partners, travel destinations… whatever you like. You combine photos and attributes from A to Z. For example: A like Adorable, B like Beautiful, C like Chaotic.

I liked it so much that I made the same album for myself. If you want the pictures to be larger, just go to my original post on my website.

You’ll need 14 coasters. The shape doesn’t matter, square or round will do as well. They’ll be bound together with 2 album rings. I don’t have photos of the making-of itself, but the images below are quite self-explanatory.

Additional materials:

• Pretty Paper (here: Basic Grey)


• Glue


• Scissors


• Hole Punch


• Stamp Pads


• ABC Stamps


• 26 Photos (3×4cm)


• 1 Eraser, cut to the photos’ size


• alternatively a piece of craft foam


• Letter Stickers


• Rub-ons


• Pretty Ribbons


• Embellishments

At first you cover the coasters with paper. Put glue on one side first and attach it to the paper, let dry and trim the paper. Then do the same with the reverse side. As a glue mat, you can take an old magazine, like shown here. Punch two holes into each paper-covered coaster.


As you can see, I put the name “Joschka” (my cat’s name) on the front with rub-ons. The chipboard J is covered with white embossing powder. The little metal charms and the “Life Happens”*-tag are attached with Tacky Tape. The paper “a-z”-ribbon is attached with an eyelet.

*”Life Happens” Paper by Christina Cole, Provo Craft

Write down a list from A to Z and choose images and attributes. This prevents you from being confused with all the letters later on. Print out the images in a small size, mine are 3×4cm. On the back of the title coaster, attach the letter A (a sticker or a cut-out, whatever you like). Write the attribute with letter stamps*. Take your eraser as a stamp and stamp a frame for your photo which you’ll attach slightly slanted.

*Hero Arts Assorted Letters Alphabet

Use the same pattern for finishing all pages.

My cat doesn’t like to travel. So I turned the German word “reiselustig” (= fond of traveling) into “reise-UN-lustig” (=NOT fond of traveling) by highlighting the syllable with the help of dymo tape.

It doesn’t have to be the attribute’s first letter

When you’re done: Congrats! Bind the coasters together with the rings. Knot pieces of pretty ribbon around the rings (you might want to fix the knots with a drop of glue).

When you’re making your own version of this album, please send me a pic of your creation. Thanks! And now: have fun crafting!

By the way: I love comments on my website

Have a fantastic day!

mini minialbum idea

I bough some Puma college pants. Puma products has this information thing were is size, prize and all kind of information. It was on my desk and I was going to throw it away when I got an idea. I do a minibook I mean real mini..:) 

I just cover it with designer paper and I'm going to decorate it later and meaby but it into my bag as a keychain.

So here is my mini minialbum almost finished. I just trace all lines into designer paper and tape those down.

I used Cosmo Cricet Earth love collection papers for this project. 

I hope you like this fun idea that I figered out..

Happy crafting moments.
