Mini-album in a box







Hi Sizzix friends!

This is my first project as a part of the creative team. I show you the gift that I have prepared for my husband for Valentine’s day and, of course,  for me too. 

This box die is perfect for keeping a small mini-album with the photos of a special family trip we enjoyed together.



We travelled to the mountains, where we found by surprise a snowy landscape. So this snowflake die was perfect for decorating the box as well as some of the album pages.


I have stamped the message on the box using the same label die that I have also used on the inside, which ensures that the box and the mini-album follow the same decorative line.



When we open the box the mini-album appears. The mini-album size is  2 ½” x 3 ½”. We can also see the die-cutting message using one of the new Craft Asylum dies.


And this is the mini-album:


For the cover I have also used  the scribbles dies designed by Tim Holtz.  I love these dies !!!





I have made this accordion structure using the same box die set, the only thing to keep in mind is making  the folds 1/8” smaller than the card die.


All the decorations are on the left side and all the photos on the right side.



For the left sides I have used the snowflakes embossing folder with the same cardstock colour as the structure (dark blue). The double tags are perfect for the journals.


The colours I used for this project  are dark blue, dark grey and white. I also used winter scrapbooking papers.

I hope you have enjoyed this mini-album idea. Thanks for your visit !


I wish you a creative and happy Friday !

Hola  a todos,

En mi primer proyecto como equipo creativo, os enseño el regalo que le he preparado a mi marido para San Valentín y, claro, para mí también. 

Esta caja era ideal para contener un pequeño mini álbum con las fotos de una escapa familiar muy especial.
La salida familiar fue a la montaña, donde nos encontramos, por sorpresa, con mucha nieve. Así que este troquel de copo de nieve era ideal para decorar la caja así como alguna página del álbum.

La etiqueta troquelada contiene el mensaje de la caja, y también la he utilizado en el interior, lo que hace la caja y el mini sigan una misma línea.

Cuando abrimos la caja aparece el mini álbum, cuya medida es de 2 ½”x 3 ½”. Con un mensaje también troquelado, utilizando uno de los nuevos troqueles de Craft Asylum. 

Y este es el mini álbum:

La portada decorada con este precioso corazón que corresponde a uno de los nuevos diseños de Tim Holtz. ¡Me encanta este troquel!

La estructura es de acordeón, y la he realizado con el mismo troquel de la caja, lo único a tener en cuenta es realizar los pliegues 1/8” más estrechos. 

Todas las decoraciones están situadas en el lado izquierdo del mini álbum y en el lado derecho se encuentran las fotografías.

Para las caras izquierdas he utilizado la carpetilla de embossing sobre el mismo color del fondo de la estructura (azul marino) Etiqueta para los mensajes y un tag doble para los journals.

Los colores utilizados son el azul marino, gris oscuro y blanco así como papeles de scrapbooking con motivos invernales.

Los productos Sizzix que he utilizado son: 

Espero que os haya gustado la idea de este mini álbum en una caja. ¡Gracias por la visita!

¡Os deseo un creativo y feliz viernes!

From The Heart Blog Hop


Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice week and did something special for those you love. A handmade card or small present is a treasure and shows that you took the time to give part of yourself to another person. I love that!

Valentine's Day was the perfect day to launch my new From The Heart collection. So we celebrated over at the Sizzix US blog by having a Valentine Blog Hop!  Each member of the Design Team created a project using one or more of my dies from this release and W.O.W. Every one of them is amazing...

Good news... IT'S NOT TOO LATE for you to enter to win two prize packages that Sizzix is giving away (I heard through the grapevine they are giving dies from this collection!) Make sure to leave your comment on the Sizzix_US blog by Wednesday, February 20, 2013 midnight pst for a chance to win. 

I will also be giving away one of the Square Box dies that I used to make this mini-album with (see below). Visit my blog and comment to be eligible to to win! You will also see a tutorial showing how I made this fun chunky book. The next one I make will be for my seven month old grandson- I'm thinking a fun little board book would be so cute. This die is so versatile- there are tons of ways to use it.

OK, are you ready? Prepare to be inspired!

There are Movers & Shapers that coordinate but I chose to leave the box plain this time.

Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day! I don't know if you celebrate it like we do here in the States, but you never need an excuse to celebrate those you love. See you in two weeks!
