Christmas Shaker Album

Love this Christmas Shaker Album!!
This album was done for a swap in my Facebook group Together We Are HappiLeaStamppin. I have other tutorials for group members only but this one doesn't have a tutorial... yet!

     You can kind of see on the spine of this album is a charm dangle... these are things that my Daughter and I have made a few of and this is the first project that I added one to. I have always liked when I see them on albums in other YouTube videos I  have watched and I thought I would try one for myself. I even used some of the Charms Stampin' Up! had to dangle from the charm! 😃

     This project took a fair amount of paper... you will want to have at least 24 to 36 sheets of coordination papers to do this. You can use less DSP if you use regular Card Stock but I like the look of the DSP so I like to use it more.
     In this particular project, I used 3 different Stampin' Up! DSPs to decorate the album and just Card Stock for the "Place Photo Here" spots. I think it makes the album look really sharp!

     I am going to be doing a Video Tutorial for on my YouTube Channel so if you are here and liking what you see, make sure you Subscribe to my channel so you can make one along with me! 😉
     I will be starting hopefully in January granted I can get everything prepped and ready to go for then. There will be a few changes made in the album we do in the tutorial, nothing major but just changes I wanted to make after making the first one. And yes, we will do a shaker cover in the tutorial as well. Lots have asked already if we will be doing a shaker cover and I love how it looks so we will be doing that. That being said... if you don't know what paper collection or Suite you will be using it might be a good idea to just wait on the cover until you do! You don't want to add the wrong color shaky shakys and have something your aren't happy with.

Christmas (Domino) Ornaments

Decorate with these simple Domino Ornaments! They are very easy! All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino!

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
