Graduation Cards with Lori Whitlock Designs

Hi everyone... I'm up over on Lori Whitlock's site today with some fun projects to help you congratulate your graduate! 
 

I just love Lori's box cards...and the nice thing about making them for graduation is that you can make them in the graduate's school colors! They are fun and easy to put together, and fold down perfectly for mailing in an A2 size envelope.  Won't they look cute sitting on the graduate's party table or mantel?  And these adorable pop-up box cards also make nice place cards for the graduation dinner table!
 


 
I paired one of the cards with a matching gift card box for an easy, but thoughtful gift.  Just cut three simple pieces from the Silhouette, adhere the pieces and tuck in a gift card -- super easy and what a nice presentation!  Lori is a genius (smile).


Thanks for visiting the blog today...and if you know of a high school or college (or even kindergarten!) student that is graduating...have fun creating these for them!

Graduation Scrapbook Album Kit

Hi friends! Congratulations to all our new graduates! And just in time because I have a new Graduation Album to share with everyone. It's available as a DIY kit or pre-assembled and will make a wonderful keepsake for all of your graduation memories!



This album was designed with paper and embellishments from Doodlebug Designs, The Graduates Collection. Since the colors are so neutral, this album would go great with any school's colors.


Graduation themed paper, pockets, tags and lots of space for 22 photos are just a few of the things that make this such a great album to save your photos in.



There are 12 (6 front & back) heavy card stock pages, including a fold-out and two pockets.



I always create my albums so that photos can easily tuck under embellishments, and I always use only acid-free, photo-safe supplies.


This album would make a wonderful gift for family or a friend or just to keep for your own graduation photos!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by. To get great scrapbooking ideas & to stay up-to-date on new products & sales please "like" Artsy Albums on Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest!

"The Little Things" Scrapbook Mini Album

Good morning friends! Today, I'm excited to share a fun new mini album that uses the pretty Inked Rose collection from We R Memory Keepers and the Cinch tool. It's made with chipboard and opens in the center, gate-fold style! 


To create this mini, I cut several 6x10 chipboard pages down to 4x6 and 6x6. Since I wanted the album to have pages on each side that open in the middle, it had to be bound on both ends. Binding an album like this is super easy with the Cinch Binding Tool. I couldn't live without mine :)


I used another piece of chipboard to mount the title, making it sturdy enough to hold up through plenty of page turning.


The colors in the new Inked Rose collection are so me -- pinks, teal, navy, and green ... with a pop of orange thrown in for fun!
 
  




I incorporated We R's fun 3x4 die cut cards and a few doily shapes to give the album some interest, and cut words like laughter, smile, and love from a 12x12 sheet.  


Check out We R Memory Keepers Blog all month long for more fun, inspirational projects using Inked Rose!

The Evolution Advanced is perfect for die-cutting, embossing, and letter pressing.



Cool features:
     1.       It has an adjustable roller so with the switch of a dial you can set the machine for your project instead having to figure out which mat combinations to use.
     2.       The Evolution Advanced is interchangeable with a hand crank or motor option.
     3.       The tool folds up and has built in storage.
