Artbooking in August Week 3 - Mini Album

This is our 3rd Monday for Artbooking in August!  I hope you are being inspired by all of the creativity!  If you are just joining me, each Monday in August over 30 consultants are creating either a card, a layout, a mini album or a 3-D object with the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.

This hop is one big circle so when you get back to me you know you have completed the hop.  If you have come here from Cassandra Bennett's blog you are on the right track!

This week I'm sharing a mini-album I created using our new Designed Decor' Flip Stand (Z1896). This clear acrylic stand is great for displaying photos up to 6 1/2 x 5 3/4.  The stand has a slot for inserting a background image or photograph.    I created my stand to represent my 10 Reasons I Love being a Close To My Consultant!

I used Chantilly Paper (X7163B).  I used various pages from the Artbooking mini album pages.












Now hop on over the Adeline Brill's Blog and see what she has for you!

    What a great idea to create interest in becoming a consultant! The flip stand makes a great way to display it during a gathering. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Can I ask: how did you deal with the different punched hole widths? I really struggled and had to hand punch extra holes which looks messy.

      Karen. I believe for this mini album I also hand punched some of the holes. I covered up the ones that weren't place correctly.

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
