Christmas Concertina Mini Book - Heidi Green

 

Hello, Heidi here to share a Christmas project with you.

Hoping all of your Christmas preparations are coming along. Mine are nearly there, just a few cards to make and pressies to wrap.

Due to the Covid restrictions, I haven't been able to see my lovely daughters, so looking forward to a family Christmas with them, fingers crossed.

To my project, I absolutely love mini albums and especially Tando Creative ones, of course.

As you can see, I have decorated this concertina one in some festive beautiful papers, glitter and gorgeous stamps. The mini album kits, are on the Tando Creative website HERE and come in a pack of two, so double the pleasure!

Here are the products used :

Tando Creative Concertina Mini Book

Hobby Art, 'Colin the Robin' stamp set

Thats Crafty, 'Lots of Words' stamp set

Anna Marie Designs, Christmas Jingle paper pack

Versafine, 'Onyx Black' ink pad

Distress Oxide, 'Bundled Sage' ink pad

Paper Artsy, 'Nougat' Opaque paint

Stickles, 'Mercury Glass' 

Clean Color Brush Pens

Green Ribbon, Scissors, glue and smoothies for edging

Instructions :

Firstly, I painted the whole album with 'Nougat' paint and left to dry.

I chose some gorgeous poinsettia, music notes and holly papers from the pad and stuck them down on the book, covering the front back panels. I used a piece of thin sandpaper to finish off edges.

Stamped up 'Colin' the robin, leaves and holly, coloured in and cut out using some sharp scissors.

Stamped up sentiments, cut out and edge with 'Bundled Sage' ink using smoothies.

Place images and sentiment elements in the book, stick down.

Add some glorious 'Mercury Glass' Stickles wherever you want.

Cut green ribbon and place through holes and tie nice neat bows.

Ok, that's me done for now. Back to the wrapping!

Have a wonderful peaceful, healthy Christmas and hoping you get to spend time with loved ones,

love from

Heidi xxx
