SHOPPER ALBUM

Hello everyone!

I couldn't wait to use the beautiful "Save the Bees" paper collection, which Sara Torzullo designed for ModaScrap!

For the occasion I thought of making this mini shopper album with 3 "mini" albums inside, 2 of which are attached to the structure with magnets. They are small, it is true, but they can contain more than 40 photos!

Seen all together they seem like the spoils of a day of shopping right?! Or they look like a set of travel suitcases?!... Because we will return to travel! To make the 3 minis I used the Shopper die. Let's see them together with the external structure.

EXTERNAL COVER

I cut 2 17.5 x 8cm pieces of 1mm vegetable cardboard, one 4 x 8cm piece and assembled them as if to create the classic album cover. I lined it with white cardboard on the outside. Inside, in the upper part, I glued the two handles and then coated them with double-sided Wild Flowers n°05 paper.

YELLOW MINI ALBUM

To create the yellow "box" that contains the mini accordion, I glued a rectangle of watercolor yellow patterned paper n°04 of approximately 10.5 x 8 cm on the 1mm vegetable cardboard, and since I wanted the bag to be higher than the standard, I only partially cut the shopper, that is only the upper part with the handle (to do this I made the lower part of the die protrude from the two plexiglas plates of the big shot), then I cut with a cutter the rest of the shopper up to the desired height (in my case 9 cm including handle) and I rounded the corners. I repeated this operation also for the back of the shopper. I normally punched the rest of the box with the patterned paper and assembled it. On the back I glued a magnet.

The mini is a simple accordion mini album measuring 5.4 x 7.4 cm to which I sewed some curled tulle at the top and slipped into the bag. To make it, I glued together 3 strips of 21.6 x 5.4 cm patterned paper folded every 5.4 cm along the long side.

Finally I also glued a magnet on the right side of the cover, positioning it at the top and I attached the yellow shopper box with the mini inside.

SQUARED BLUE MINI ALBUM

For the two covers, as for the previous mini, I glued the front and back the blue squared patterned paper (n.05) on the 1 mm vegetable cardboard and I punched the two pieces with the Shopper die. Then, always with the same die, I created the internal pages and bound them using the Scoring Binder die. I glued a magnet both on the right side of the external cover (under the yellow mini) and on the back of the mini and I attached it.

WHITE MINI ALBUM

For this mini I simply punched out various shopper pages and tied them together with ribbon, through the handles. Then, with the Vellum Foil Hexagons Holographics, I created a pocket to be glued on the left side of the external cover.

To embellish everything I used Die Cut Save The Bees, Sparkly Sequins, Mini Tassels and added some journaling with Honey clear stamp set.

The mini album is finished! I hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you and see you next time!
