Staggered 4”x10” “Home” gift album
Embellishing your "Home" gift album:
11) Inside front cover consists of a cream colored photo or journaling block matted on a darker shade of cardstock. Distress edges of each rectangle with Tonic Paper Distresser, then ink with Distress Ink. Place strips of contrasting patterned papers vertically on the page as shown, adhere matted block over those, and place small strips of Magic Mesh in lower right corner of the block.
Page one includes a photo block “Calcutta Gardens” matted on cream cardstock, edges inked and distressed. Create dymo label “home” in red and “the sweeted kind of heaven” in blue and adhere as shown. Loop fiber around left side of page three times and tie securely.
Page 2: Cut two identical rectangles of cardstock. Mat one with contrasting paper, and adhere as shown over the second one after adhering trim to two sides. Embellish page by adhering motifs from the patterned paper over chipboard, then cutting with scissors or craft blade to create dimensional embellishments.
Page 3: Embellish with more chipboard-backed motifs from the patterned paper and Dottie Ann Magic Mesh, and add a dymo label “my” in red near the word “heart.”
Page 4: Create three 2.5”x3” tags from cardstock and ink edges. Adhere to page, border bottom of page with ric rac, and embellish tag tops with riber, brads or scraps of patterned paper. Embellish with photo corners.
Page 5: Cut left and bottom borders from “Himalayan Range” and adhere. Cut shaped embellishments from patterned paper, backing with chipboard if desired. Create “heart can sing” dymo label in red and adhere in bottom right corner, leaving enough room that the label does not show when the book is closed.
Page 6: Adhere cardstock rectangle (edges inked and distressed), ric rac and scraps of patterned paper as shown. Create “loving retreat” dymo label in red and adhere, overlapping cardstock block.
Page 7: Cut three 2.5” square blocks from Calcutta Gardens, ink and distress edges, and mat if desired. Adorn with scrap trim and add red dymo words “beauty lives” as shown.
