The modern crafter's guide to beautiful scrapbooking, cardmaking, and mini album designs.
Create layers of life with love!
Preserve, celebrate, and cherish life's most memorable moments with this creative guide to modern scrapbooking from prolific papercrafter Paige Evans! This stunning project book is organized into three themes: scrapbook layouts, handmade cards, and mini photo albums.
The scrapbooking chapter will teach you how to create contemporary designs using nine different techniques, including edge punching, mixed media, stamped designs, tile grids, quilt-inspired designs, handmade flowers, stitched designs, and stars. Each technique includes a step-by-step project, as well as a gallery of additional samples for endless inspiration!
The card chapter will teach you how to make beautiful cards that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful. Themes include congratulations, condolences, birthdays, thank yous, and anniversaries. Each card comes with step-by-step instructions, and there are additional card designs at the end of the chapter to give you even more ideas.
The mini album chapter will teach you how to make three memory books that are small in size but big in detail! The projects featured use three popular techniques: a stretch-bound album, a shaped album, and an accordion album. Each album is filled with beautiful paper designs and layers of coordinating embellishments.
For those new to the craft, the book includes a full "getting started" chapter that will guide you through the vast number of tools and materials available (and let you know exactly what you'll need). You'll also find an overview of basic papercrafting techniques and design principles. In the back of the book, there are eight pages of perforated scrapbook paper that you can remove and use to create the projects in the book or ones of your own design.
Go ahead and turn your memories into beautiful works of art that will be cherished for years to come.
