Celebrate Life Mini Pocket Album | Little Birdie Crafts


Hi Everyone Kerrie back with another project for Little Birdie Crafts
this time I have created a little mini album using their Celebrate Life 6x6 pad 


This mini is so quick to create and you can use it to send gift cards or add some favourite photos from a special event or use it as a little brag book 


to create the base you just need 3  and a half sheets of 6x6 patterned cardstock single sided or 3 sheets if you have double sided paper.
Step 1 | score the first one at 3" and fold in half, cut another sheet in half and adhere to the top outer
Step 2 | Cut a strip from the 6x6 patterned cardstock and adhere to inside right side and slot the first page insert to see where you need to score to create a wrap around 
Step 3 | repeat as per 2nd insert to create your third and outer page 
I have created mine to match up with the amount of pattern I want showing out the side to create the pocket layers
Step 4 adhere the pages together making sure to only add adhesive to the top and bottom edges as you want to create pockets 


Using Sculpture Paste and a silicone mold I created some leaves, just leave in the mold to dry and then paint using White Gesso


using French Rose Chalk Pain I painted my Primed Chipboard Round Flourish 



While the chipboard is still wet sprinkle on some Strawberry Lips Shimmer Hodge Podge and set aside to dry


next I fussy cut some pieces from the fussy cut sheets in the pad and then layered all my pieces on the front adding some handmade flowers as one can never create without some gorgeous LBC flowers 
I then added some more Strawberry Lips Shimmer Hodge Podge this time using Gel Medium to adhere the bling where I wanted


finish off with punched out pieces and some journal cards tucked into the pockets (you can add photos or gift cards or a combination of all into the pockets if you prefer 
Add some string wrapped around to hold the album closed
