Hello everyone! It's Dorymar back on the blog today! I can’t believe Christmas is almost here! I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!
Today I want to share a beautiful 3D project I designed with the colorful “Our Home Collection” by Carta Bella. I'm sure you going to love this creative idea. I took the inspiration from one of the houses in the collection and recreated it as an explosion box with a mini album inside. But you can use this project as a mini album, as a recipe box or simply, to decorate any place in your home.
The measurements of this box are 8 x 5 x 3.5. I used the ultra-white cardstock to make the base. Due to the firmness of the cardstock and the pattered papers of the collection, I didn’t use chipboard in the base. To cover the exterior of the house I used the Home Sweet Home and the Wildflowers patterned paper.
When you remove the roof, you can see the beautiful pockets pages inside the house.
In the corner you can see the little house that served as inspiration for the project. I love doodling, that's why I always make them around the photo mats.
One of my favorite parts to make a mini album is to add the interactive elements. The box is filled with six 7”x 4.5” pocket pages, each one with a 6.25” x 8” inside card. All covered with the beautiful pattered paper of the collection. All in all, I have 12 pages to document memories or put a picture of my recipes and an extra space in the card for journaling of recipes.
In each of the pages I combined the cards, tags, frames and stickers of the collection to create a small collage to decorate the album. But as it is not enough, the designs that all the papers have invite you to continue cutting! That's why I like to combine them with the pre-cut elements that the collection offers. The houses, the flowers, the butterflies, the messages, all are super adorable!
Here you can see all the cover of the inside cards. There are all full of details.
Thank you for visiting the blog today! Wishing you lots of fun with your family this Christmas! Happy New Year!!!
