Nutcracker Sweet Album

By Janus Zate

“Hello G45ers! This is Janus and I’m here to share with you this album I created using the Nutcracker Sweet – Deluxe Collector’s Edition.

I love how regal the colours in this collection are without losing that Christmas feel.

I started off with setting up the album’s entire base, namely, the pages, covers and spine.

The size of the album is 20cm x 14cm or roughly about 8 in x 5.5 in and decorated it with stickers and chipboards that come with the collection.

You’ll need to prepare the following items cut at these measurements to recreate the project:

5 pieces of foam sheets at 20cm x 14cm
10 pieces of Nutcracker Sweet papers 20cm x 14cm
4 glitter card stocks cut at 20cm x 4cm, scored and divided in 3 parts
1 glitter cardstock cut at 20 x 20 cm with the centre scored with a 6cm width or however thick your album is.

Whenever I work on albums I work on the pages next after assembling the album’s base. Once I’ve been able to finish the pages and have glued them onto my album, that’s when I work on the cover.

Tip: Add some fake pearls to give some more shine and sparkle. I love how these small details make such huge impact on the overall look of the project.

Ultimately the sizes and measurements I provided are just guides and you can work on this any way you like, in any size, shape and form.
