Tmika's "Together-Apart" Shaker Embellishment Envelope Mini Album

Hey guys! It’s Tmika again! Here’s my third project as guest designer for The Fairytale Club, featuring the "Together-Apart” collection! Such a pretty paper!!

It’s my first Shaker Embellishment Envelope Mini Album!!!  This is a cute little 5 envelope shaker that can store embellishments. You can make it as big or little as you want. Mine is 5x5. It’s bound together by twine tied on the 1” spine. Tiny little Velcro closes the envelopes. I used the die cuts from the collection to decorate the envelopes. Check out my video for more details on this cute project and paper collection.

Caroline's "Together-Apart" Mini-Album

Wow! Can you believe that 2020 is already halfway over?

With world events and major changes in our daily lives, I was uncertain how to begin documenting this year. I wanted to find a way to capture my family’s story with hope and optimism. I wanted color and whimsy; I wanted a way to stretch my creativity. When Andrea from The Fairytale Club debuted the “Together Apart” collection and the new acrylic albums, I knew I had to have it all!

The acrylic album is the perfect color, size and quality. It fits my pocket pages and bits of ephemera. The “Together Apart” collection is full of gorgeous colors, patterns and sentiments. It is cheerful and feminine, but still perfect to document the everyday. I loved creating shaker pockets using pocket pages and packaging from collection. I pulled some vintage elements in with ephemera and a cute zipper package turned sequin shaker.

Creating this album has been challenging and fun! I’ve enjoyed putting each page together, pulling from the “Together Apart” collection and others. I’ve included pictures of my family enjoying the little things, making the best of every situation and reveling in extra time spent together.

With the year only halfway over, I know we’ll have plenty more to celebrate and I can’t wait to document it all!

Aimee's "Beautiful Dreamer" Mini

Hey FTC fans, it’s Aimee!

Today I am sharing a mini tag album that is ALL about me!

The Beautiful Dreamer Kit totally inspired me to make a little mini about me.

I mean it’s totally obvious why right??? She’s blonde and she sleeps, that describes me to the T.

 I started this album by cutting the 2, 12x12 papers with 3x4 pocket cards, “Make it Pink, Make it Blue” and “Nap Queen”.

I then printed 8 photos of myself using my instax share printer.

I then choose 8 of the different cards that went best with my photos, and of course I used the tags too.

For my photos I used some Bookmark Tags from Pretty Little Studio {limited availability} as the base.

I embellished my photos and tags using die cuts from the variety pack and stickers from the sticker sheet.

I also labeled my photos with the date by printing on to white cardstock and cutting tiny strips.

I finished embellishing with my tiny stapler and other bits from my stash.

 I put all the tags and cards onto a painted binder ring and also used some charms and a tassel from my stash to give it more pop.

 I love that I finally made a little album just about me!

Do you ever make projects just about yourself???

XOXO Aimee

Kellie's Nap Queen Layout

Hey there crafty people.  It's Kellie here with you again to share a mini layout in my pocket page notebook, using the NEW and gorgeous, Beautiful Dreamer kit.  I wanted to keep this rather simple to keep the focus on the photo and my daughters beautiful hair colour and this kit allowed for just that.
  For this layout I wanted to try something new, new to me.  There are so many amazing hearts in this kit and I LOVE that!  I decided to have three hearts on the pocket going down in a line, vellum in the front and the cardstock hearts backing them.
I then got out my old sewing machine and.................. the top one moved, ugh.  I didn't let it stop me and the other two hearts came out perfect.  The old, two out of three ain't bad.

The sticker, NAP QUEEN could not had been more perfect for this teen of mine.

I decided to use the bottom strips of the 12 x 12 pattern papers as washi tape, they are truly perfect for that use.

Kellie's Pocket Page Notebook Dreamer Layout

Hi there Fairytale Club peeps, Kellie here with you today to share a mini layout I create in my smaller pocket page notebook.  I think if you've been following along here and would had noticed I have a thing for this style of crafting, FUN!

For this layout I've used the NEW Beautiful Dreamer kit, that is honestly just a dream to be able to create with.

My eldest has started taking photos again.  She's had an eye when it comes to photography and I benefit, because her favourite or only real subject that she can have on hand are her sisters, WIN for me.

Before this kit even arrived on my door step and I was checking the delivery update daily.....  Come on, I know I'm not the only one that stalks their Fairytale Kit right?  I already had plans in my head on what I wanted to create and these photographs were top of the list.

Did you see that this month there is something new?  The chipboard alpha's!  Are they not dreamy?  Confession time, I used the "q" as a "b", honestly it was a mistake and once I realised it didn't bother me as it just worked. I decided to keep these layout's pretty simple.  I'm loving the sentiments within the sticker sheet this month.

To do the pocket I got out my trusty fuse tool and once I was happy with where my photo was placed that I've gone back and front, I fused around it with a metal ruler.  Added sequins in and then fused it up.  BAM, done.  Sounds simple right?  You have no idea the amount of sequins I get everywhere, haha.  But the result is just too good not to lose or wear a few sequins.

i didn't want to sew straight into the pocket page paper.  So I decided to stick down the strips of paper onto a spare bit of cardstock, sew with my sewing machine, trim up and then stuck it down into my pocket page notebook.  This works really well for those hard to get to areas with your machine.

There you have it!  I have another layout coming next week that I can't wait to share with you all.  In the meantime if you haven't signed up for your kit yet, you can do so, HERE.

Galentine's Mini Folio with Carrie

Hello Everybody, Carrie here with a fun Galentine’s project I made for one of my girlfriends using the Practically Perfect Kit. I To create the base of my folio I followed the tutorial Serena Bee shared on her YouTube channel back in December, and it couldn’t have been more easy and fun to put together. I’ll link her tutorial HERE.

Following Serena’s tutorial I created the base of my folio using a 6x12 inch piece of this lovely fan looking 12x12 inch paper, and then added pink satin ribbon from my stash as my closure. To decorate the front I used this large red heart from the stationery pack, and popped it up with some foam adhesive. To add a little more sparkle I covered the entire front of the heart with Wink of Stella and added two red pearl dots from my stash.

This mini folio folds into four 3x4 inch pockets. For the first pocket I added the SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC square from one of the cut apart sheets and cut down the right side just slightly so make room for the penguin from the die cut pack. I popped them both up with foam adhesive and attached them to the bottom of the first pocket. I also added two small light purple pieces of bling from my stash to this little grouping. To fill this pocket I chose the “Wonder” tag with the gorgeous pink tassel from the stationery pack, and also tucked in the Mary figure from the die cut pack. To add the pink eyelet onto the tag I simply removed the tassel, placed the eyelet, and then added the tassel back on.

For the second pocket I popped up the carousel from the die cut pack towards the bottom flap of the pocket making sure the top portion of the die cut hung over the edge of the flap for interest. I also added a little sparkle with four yellow pieces of bling from my stash. Inside the pocket I placed the frame from the stationery pack. To make it into a frame, I hand cut out the image of Mary from the inside and then placed my own photo behind it. There are four instax photos total layered in this pocket so my girlfriend can use them or store them here. To embellish the frame a little more I placed the bow flair towards the top using red line tape.

For the next pocket I decided to use the bow and “magic” both from the die cut pack. I first added the bow using foam adhesive, and then layered the “magic” under it which is also popped up. I chose another light purple piece of bling from my stash to dot the “i”, and called it good for the bottom portion. To fill the pocket, I used the purple carousel horse card from one of the cut apart sheets, and added one of my favorite tea bags in front of it.

This last pocket is one of my favorites because it holds a simple but pretty necklace. I chose the umbrella bird from the die cut pack to embellish the bottom of the pocket and added a single yellow piece of bling to the bird’s tale. Inside the pocket I placed the purple “magic” tag from the stationery pack after adding the pink eyelet and necklace. To hold the necklace in place as much as possible I used a strip of washi from my stash and attached it to the back of the tag…..and that’s it for this project. Below you can see everything taken out of the pockets. It actually holds quite a bit. In my option, the only thing missing is a movie to watch while you drink your tea, eat your chocolate, and use your face mask, lol.

I hop you enjoyed this project share, and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

Remebering December with Kellie

Kellie here with you again to share another creation I made using the December Dreams kit, because you get so much within your kit, you really can just make and make and still have some left over and I LOVE that about these kits.  While the collection isn't available anymore as a whole kit, you can still get all the elements of the kit separately, except for one of the papers. 

Ok back on track.  I'm going to share with you a 6x4 layout I created x two for an album I'm determined to get finished this year.  It's a Remembering December album that is based on Christmas pasts and present.  i made a list to go off and have been working my way through.  This kit from The Fairytale Club couldn't had been a better fit.
What I love most about this kit is the colour theme.  Pink and red was actually the colour we went with on the tree for 2018 and I'm actually 80% sure the kit had a bit to do with my change from my traditional green, red and gold theme.  Tree looked amazing.  If you haven't already, subscribe! Each month the kits keep getting better and better and you won't want to miss them.
To create this layout I actually kept it rather simple.  What I love about the kits each month is there is always one or two 12x12 pattern papers that actually has cut outs, they are my FAV!  Like this Candy Cane - it works so well as a little flip card to then have the day number on the back and not taking it away from the photo or the pattern paper with the red scallops that I used to then add the journaling card, also from the cut out!  Before I go can we all agree the gingerbread man is the cutest!

December Daily Decorating Our Tree with Carrie

Hello Everybody, Carrie here with day 2 in my December Daily 4x6 album. I’ve used more of the lovely December Dreams Kit to tell the story of decorating our Christmas tree, and how much my daughter loves to “decorate” ; )

To start off I added the brown heart die cut directly onto my 4x6 photo along with a Santa hat from Little B. I super love how the goldfish ornament is swimming among the other ornaments, and thought he would look cute with a hat and a heart.

On the opposite page is a 3x4 photo with “OUR TREE” written in the Thicker font Happy Life, again placed directly onto the photo. Next to it is a 3x4 shaker pocket with the number 2 punched out into a circle from one of the cut apart sheets. I’ts slightly popped up using foam adheasive and layered over another circle that is only slightly larger which was punched from one of the 12x12 papers. They are attached to a 3x4 piece of transparency and I added in a few aqua and gold sequins.

To keep with the same shape on the opposite side of the shaker pocket, I added another of the larger circles punched from the same 12x12 paper. This time instead of layering it with the date I punched out the pink and green “joy” from one of the cut apart sheets. Since the circles are mounted on both sides of a 3x4 piece of transparency I decided to add some more of the same sequins into this side to complete the shaker. Next to it is another 3x4 photo of our tree.

For the final page of this spread I chose the beautiful bow paper and cut a 4x6 card from the 12x12 sheet. I added the “Mama, let’s decorate.” using the same Thickers, but this time used gold instead of rose gold. To add my journaling, I ran the blue label from one of the cut apart sheets through my typewriter and popped it up slightly using some foam paper layered over a pink tag also from the same cut apart sheet. To add just a little extra something I also added an orange eyelet to the tag. As a final bit of embellishment I placed three of the stars from the die cut pack across the 4x6 card and layered enamel stars and dots from Studio Calico Seven Paper for added dimension…..and that’s it.

Thanks so much for taking a look at today’s project and I’ll see you next time : ) Carrie

Aimee's "Christmas-land" Mini Tag Album

Hey Fairytale Club Fans, this week our Design Team Members will be sharing some of their favorite projects they created this season using our 2 Christmas Kits “December Dreams” & “Christmas-land”!

First off we have Aimee with a Mini Tag Album using “Christmas-land”.

---

Hi there, Aimee here!

Have you all seen the Christmas-land kit? You know the one Andrea and Carolee did a workshop with.

Well it’s even better in person. Like way better! It’s so awesome, I made my husband take me to Disneyland on Christmas Day, just to take pictures so I could use the christmas-land kit and make this Album TRUE STORY!

And this mini tag album came out WAY better than I could have ever dreamed! For this album I used 2 of the 12x12 papers from the kit “Christmas at the Park” and “All I want for Christmas is a castle!” and some bookmark tags from my stash.

I printed all the photos I wanted to use with my Instax share printer. I cut up the 12x12 papers into the 3x4 journaling cards. I also used a few of the tags too.

I then placed the 3x4 cards with the bookmark tags and photos. Once I was happy with which tag went with what photo and what card, choose die cuts from the die cut pack that went with each pile of cards. When everything was placed, I adhered the photos to the bookmark tags. You can find a video of this on my YOU TUBE Channel.

I then stamped each photo with a different sentiment form a roller stamp. I also embellished each card/tag with puffy stickers and stickles to give them some added depth. Once I was happy with all of the embellishments, I punched a hole in the top of each card/tag.

I choose the “all I want for Christmas…” Journaling card as my cover for this album.

I attached a decorative pom pom paper clip to the top. I then placed all the cards on to a large binder ring and this created the album.

To create the bell dangle, I used a tassel from my stash along with some jump rings. I added 1 or 2 bells from the Christmas-land Variety pack to each jump ring and continued until I had used all the bells. I just love this addition to my album.

I also made some shaker tags (with my fuse tool and all the goodies from the Christmas-land Variety pack). OMG I love these. I think by far this was the best addition to my mini. This was the first time making this type of tag, and I think it turned out so AWESOME. I just traced the bookmark tag with a sharpie, I then ran my fuse tool (against a ruler to keep my lines straight) on the inside of the sharpie, I fused 4 sides before adding all the goodies, and then sealed the tag from the top. To make the hole (so it would be closed and the glitter wouldn’t come out) I burned a hole through the sleeve with a rounded tip.

Do you enjoy making Mini Albums?

XOXO Aimee

Aimee's Tag Flip Mini Album

Happy New Year! Aimee here, and today I have a super cute little mini album for you.

I can’t resist a mini album! And when I saw the 12x12 “Key to the Kingdom” and “The Fourth Realm” Papers from the “December Dreams” kit I knew I was going to make a mini!

The point of my mini is just to highlight some of the magical moments from the Christmas Season. Plus, I love to print photos with my Instax Share Printer. These little minis are a great way to use those photos.

I started by cutting up the 12x12 papers into the 3x4 cards. I then paired each 3x4 card with a bookmark tag.

I laid out all the 3x4 cards with the bookmark tags. I printed my photos and placed them on the tag of choice. I then embellished each photo and bookmark tag with die cuts and little bits and pieces. I dated my photos with a date roller stamp. I also love using my tiny stapler to attach things, it’s the perfect scale.

I choose one of the cards to be the cover and embellished it. I bedazzled all my 3x4 cards with stickles {glitter glue} to make them POP!

The pom pom paper clips are great for extra embellishing. I actually cut the back of the pom pom off so it would sit flush when the album is laying down. I also stapled it to the cover so it was secure. Don’t forget the Key to the Kingdom, I added a spilt ring to the key so it could be a charm

For reals, this is the easiest project! The whole album only took me an hour to create assemble {minus the dry time for the stickles}!

Do you enjoy creating mini albums?

XOXO Aimee
