Mini book "LOVE" by Karine Cazenave-Tapie

Hello everybody,

Hope you're fine !
Spring is here in France and I wanted to make a colorful and fresh album for a friend who is pregnant :)

She sent me 6 pictures about her and her boyfriend. A very beautiful selection so I wanted to create a memories book to give to her.

Follow me in 5 steps and create yourself your album in Hambly.

All the embellishments are created with the Big Shot !

Material :

Cardstock : American Crafts
Patterned papers : Hambly Brocade Blossoms,  Banners, Camera collection,  Little hearts, Embroidery,  Grandma's wallpaper
Transparencies : Hambly Birds on wire, Banners
Cardboard : Toga
Alphabets : Hambly woodgrain, Kraft Alphabet , Jenni Bowlin
Buttons : American Crafts
Fabric flower : American Crafts
Brad : Pink Paislee
Washi Tape : Hambly
Leave : 7Gypsies
Pearls : Kési'Art
Stickers : Hambly Bay boy, Baby Girl, Elegant labels, Kraft labels

Dies : Sizzix

Step 1 : Select your pictures
I only use 6 pictures. I printed them in black and white in size : 4x12inches.




Step 2 : Build your mini book

You just need to glue cardsdock on the back of every picture to strengthen it. So the size of every cardstock is the same as your picture (4x12 inches for me).

You need 6 differents papers.
I selected these items :



Cover every cardstock whith patterned paper.

Cut 2 pages in transparencies ( )


Step 3 : Use your Big Shot and your favorites dies to create your embellishments

I used dies Sizzix :

Butterfly
Star
New flowers 65690
Townscape
Use several pattered paper to create your flowers.

Complete with baby stickers just perfect for the mini book ! I really love using these funny animals and designs !








Add some title, little words to complete your book.

Step 4 : Build your cover

For the cover you need cardboard, corrugated paper exactly.
Cut two pages in size 5x13 inches to make the cover.
I always make the cover at the end, because for me, they need to resume the whole book.

Embellish it with a heart's paper cloth and a flower made with your Big Shot. Use several papers for more fancy.

Add the title LOVE.

Step 5 : Bind your book

Use your crop-a-dile to make the holes, link with metal rings.

And now look at the whole book !











Thanks, Karine
