Hi friends! It's time for my next Lori Whitlock Design Team Project and this week, I made a cute snowman shaped mini album using one of Lori's fabulous cutting files called Shaped Shadow Box Card Snowman (links below). It's perfect for photos of the holiday season and your favorite winter memories. It would also make a great handmade gift idea.
Here's what the file looks like ...
This card is absolutely adorable. It's a full snowman with a layered 3D winter scene in the center. I will definitely be making the card soon but for today's project, I used just his head.
To make the album, I cut the cover out of white acrylic but you could use card stock. Then, I used black card stock and patterned papers from Doodlebug Design for the details (links below). I added a few pop dots behind the holly berries and leaves for a little dimension and I think he's the cutest!
To decorated the album, I used the Doodlebug Design Snow Much Fun Collection. Just inside the cover, I added some pretty houses and trees from the Odds and Ends die cuts.
Next, I cut 4 snowman shaped pages out of white card stock giving me 8 layouts. I covered each of the pages in pattern papers, then added lots of cute embellishments, flippies, and photo mats.On the page above, I cut out a 4" circle and a 3.5" circle to create my photo mat. Isn't that paper in the center great? I love all the little winter images.The round snowman's face allowed me to play with the shape and size of the photo mats so I varied them for interest. Then, I filled in the extra space around them with die cut pieces.
Speaking of die cuts ... how cute are the little penguins above? I placed one underneath the mat so it looks like he's peeking out from behind it! I made the mat with a 3" scalloped circle punch and a 2.5" circle punch.
This mini album looks so cute sitting on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It's perfect for showing off your amazing projects, especially throughout the seasons. They make great decor, and ... they're filled with your FUN memories. And if you're giving this album as a gift, give them a stand too!
I hope my snowman shaped mini album and Lori's adorable cutting file inspires you to create something wonderful this season. Happy holidays and have a great day! 😊
