Us Coaster Mini Album- Video and Gypsy File

I love this mini album! I have so much to share so let's get started.

First I took 4 inch coasters and using Cuttlebug folders, I embossed the coasters.

 Next I pulled out my Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

I swiped each coaster with a variety of inks.

Then I used the Cinch to punch holes for the wires for the mini album,

 I fed the wires through and crimped them close.  Then I cut and tied lots of ribbon to the spine.

The paper i used is from GCD Melody Ross Artsy Urban.

Now for the cuts and sizes. All the cuts are from Ornamental Iron 2 Cricut Cartridge, except for the title on the front of the album. This one is cut at 3.25 inches.

This is one is cut at 6 inches

These are cut at 4 inches.

This one for the cover is cut at 6 inches.

"Us" is cut from Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge. I sprinkled the cut with Shabby Opaque Enamel from Stampendous,

I then prepared the butterfly for the cover.  I bought these at Michaels wedding section.  I then used Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glitz and ink to give more sparkle and color!

Finally I assembled the cuts into the album and added all my findings.  These are the final pics.  I know there's a lot but  I want to show you all the details.

If you like videos, you can watch me explain it here and see the album in action.

The knob is from Tim Holtz.

I love how it can stand by itself!

The sentiment is from Pink By Design

The roses on the side I made with Satin and my Cricut.  If you want to watch the video for this method, CLICK HERE or watch it below.

The flower is from Prima and the key is from Tim Holtz.

The "fans" when cut small look like photo corners but when enlarged look like fans.  It's a very cool effect.

The blue flowers are cut from ribbon and adhered to the sides of the coaster.

Here are more of the melted stain flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this album as much as me!

I will be adding some small black and white wallet photos from the past year.  Since the album can stand on its own, it makes an amazing Home Decor piece as well.
