DIY Christmas Album

Tutorial by Maria Smeshkova

“Hello everyone! Today I want to share my new album with you. I was delighted with the new sparkling and rich Merry & Bright Christmas collection and decided immediately to work with it!

I took large and regular tags for my album base. I cut out the backgrounds for the pages from 12” x 12” and 8” x 8” paper pads using my Graphic 45 tag dies. Also for one regular tag I used backgrounds cut out from 6×4 cards. I wanted to create something shiny and sparkling, something that would highlight the sophistication of this scrapbook paper, that’s why my album contains a lot of glitter, crystals and sparkling threads. Green shabby ribbons made my tag pages look cuter. And the gold stars sequins added even more shine

TIP: You can use vellum to create pockets so you don’t cover a beautiful background and have room for photos.

Decorating an element from the Ephemera Set with sparkling threads and gems will look magical. You can use the same threads to decorate pockets or chipboard elements along the edge.
