"Believe" Christmas Envelope Mini Album

 Happy Holiday's Crafty Friends!! Jeanne here back with my third and final project of the year for Clear Scraps Design Team! I decided I would create this Chipboard Envelope Album (Product Code: CBAENVELOPE)  so I can add my Christmas photos that I will be taking while I'm here in Denver visiting my daughter and her family! I came a little early to spend time before Christmas and I'm having a wonderful time! So I'm excited to print all of my photos and choose my favorite for this album! I will definitely be sharing this sometime soon!

  



For this project I created a short tutorial and so I began by choosing what paper collection that I would be using and I decided on 49 and Market's Vintage Artistry Peace and Joy collection. 




I first took the album and I painted along the edges using a sponge brush with some Folk Art Vintage White Acrylic Paint. Next I cut all of the papers for the pages and using my 1/4 inch corner rounder from We R Memory Keepers. I then inked around slightly around my papers using Memento Dew Drop "Bamboo Leaves" and my dauber from Scrapbook.com and adhered my pages using Art Glitter Glue. I always like to use a brayer on my pages once I have adhered them down so the glue spreads evenly around the whole page. 
I did use a couple of papers from another Christmas paper from Simple Story " Country Christmas" collection. 
On the first page which is the "envelope' opening I traced it onto the paper I chose for it and adhered it. 

      
 

 

           

          

Once I had finished papering my pages, I started embellishing the pages. The paper collection from 49 and Market comes with some laser cut images so I took some of the ones with the tabs and scored them at 1/2 in on my Martha Stewart Scoreboard to make it into a photo mat as you will see on my finished photo. 
Next I added a variety of matching ephemera for example I used some pieces from Tim Holtz Idea-olgy pack. On some of them I added some foam dots to them for added dimension. 
Another product comes from 49 and Market is their rub-ons in which I use throughout my album. 
                         



 



Now onto the opening of the "envelope", I took one of the laser cut images from the 12x12 sheet which has some beautiful trees and I wanted this to be on my cover. Then I traced and cut with my Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife the top part which would be adhered onto the cover. Next I took the bottom part and added some foam tape to it and adhered it to the first page. 
I then took the "Believe" chipboard word title from Clear Scraps (Product Code: CSCWEBELIEVE)
and embossed it using some Embossing Ink from Brutus Monroe and some Lindys Stampgang Embossing Powder (Silver Moon Mistletoe) and adhered it onto the the front.

 

 

 

 








Lastly I made some hole reinforcers for the pages before adding the metal ring binders. I made some holes using my We R Memory Keepers Hole Punch and my 1 inch hole punch to create these. Next I added the binder rings and a variety of seam binding, string and ribbon. 

I do hope that you have enjoyed my project and blog post that I have shared with you today. This is a pretty simple tutorial and I hope you will share with me your finished project. So go grab your Envelope Chipboard Album! I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!! Stay Safe!
