"Georgie" Baby Girl Mini Album

Here is a cute mini album I made for a friend using our new "Georgie" paper pack & accessories.

She's a Grammy to a new baby girl so I added some Pixie cardstock to girl it up more.

Ribbons & paper flowers are from an older stash.

Mini albums are great for brag books to keep in your purse or have on your coffee table!

December Stamp Club project- mini coffee cup caddy

Mini Coffee Cup Caddy

Isn't this adorable? I saw this idea at Convention & had to make it!

The mini coffee cups are from a restaurant supply store- 4oz with lids.

 

 

Start with Poppy or Cranberry cardstock 6 1/2" x 8 1/2".

Score each side at 1" & 2", crease folds.

Cut away the outer corners & cut to the inside score mark.

Fold each side over to form the box & use strong adhesive to secure. You're kind of making a double wall on each side by folding over the edges.

 

 

Next, take a piece of 2 1/2" x 9 1/2" cardstock.

Score in the middle at 4 3/4" & a 1/2" on each end.

I used a narrow oval punch to create the handle & glued this piece together to make the caddy handle/divider. Use strong adhesive to glue the ends in the center of the caddy.

 

For the cups, you'll have to take apart one cup & use it as a template to trace a pattern.

I used the White Pines paper & stamp set from the Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go kit to stamp the holly leaves & berries.

The tag stamp is from the Packages, Boxes & Tags stamp set.

I also used Poppy & Fern inks, Poppy twine & kraft cardstock for the band (which I ran through a crimper tool).

 

 

These are so cute to make as gifts for candy or other small treats.

Merry Christmas!
