Crealies: Crealies: A Christmas Star Mini Album Part 1

Hi It's Patty

Today I would like to share with you the start of a new mini album series, this one is Christmas inspired. I'm calling this one A Christmas Star.

In today's post I will show you how to make 4 pages of this mini. I have a full tutorial on this.

To create my base pages I used Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:24 This is my go to die all the time for my base pages. You can use any of the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL dies for your base pages but this one is just my goto and if your looking to start making these mini album this would be one I would recommend as a must have. For my pattern paper I used Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:95 the rough edges on this die makes for fun edges.

To put both styles of these pages together I also used Mini Album Binding System C

and On The Edge Die no:48 One page I made a side pocket and a

top loading pocket on the other page.

I wanted to make a fun element to my pockets so using Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:102

and a piece of acetate I made this see thru window.

Below is a closer look at the fun stitching on these dies.

For my next 2 pages using all the same dies I created this center spread of the mini album when we put this together.

For these pages I made a fun closure to keep this all neat when closed. Using

Mini Album Binding System C in a different way I made my stars

(made with Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:102 )flip up to allow the pages to open.

I keep all this closed by attaching my closure on top of

For Journalzz and Plannerzz Small Pocket Die .

Then from going largest to a smaller die I made these pages flip open for photo mats. These were all made using Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:24 for my base pages and Crea-Nest-Lies XXL no:95 for my pattern paper and all attached with Mini Album Binding System C
