You & Me Wedding Mini

Hello blogging friends. Today I have a mini album I created with the Top Dog Heart Mini Album and Finishing Set dies, some papers from the Clique Store, and some Love My Tapes washi tape. My daughter was recently married and I've been wanting to create a mini with some of my favorite photos.


Here is how I created my mini. Using the Heart Album die, I cut out 4 from box board and 8 from cardstock, I painted the edge of the box board with white paint. When dry, I adhered the cardstock to the boxboard.


I selected some pattern papers, these are from the Pretty Little Studios You & Me collection that are available in the Clique Kits store.


I die cut the hearts for my album.


I used my Xyron Creative Station to adhere all of these diecuts  to the mini albums pages.


To bind the pages together I created a spine with cardstock scored at every 1/4". I glued one side of each album page to the spine.



I then covered the spine with my Love My Tapes washi tape on the outside and the inside pages.




Then I could add my photos and embellishments. Let me show you the rest of my pages ...


On these inside pages I used the same washi tape as the binding but here I cut the tape in half lengthwise. This created a better proportion for my mini.








Supplies:
American Crafts cardstock
Pretty Little Studios pattern paper, journal cards, tabs, arrow stickers (You & Me collection)
Love My Tapes washi tape
Xyron 9" Creative Station
White acrylic paint
hemp twine

I hope this inspires you to create your own mini. Shop the Clique Store for your pattern papers and embellishments and use code Marcia10 to save 10%. Love My Tapes washi tape is now available in the Love My Tapes Etsy store.
