Mini Tunnel Album with Graphic45 Fairy Dreams/Wishes

I saw a video of someone making a tunnel album which was ATC size (about 2×3”) and thought this paper would be fantastic for it! So many of the images are tiny anyway, since they are fairies, after all.

The hardest part of this was getting all the pages to line up – even with a tutorial, I had trouble, but lucky for me, I am also stubborn!

I didn’t quite know what to do with it once I was finished – this paper has been discontinued, and I was working with scraps as it was – the image I was trying to emulate had the mini album on top of a much larger (but still mini-sized) photo album, and I didn’t have nearly enough paper to pull that off, so decided to create a card, and instead of the emphasis being on my dimensional flowers, the emphasis is on the mini tunnel album.

The butterfly is from my stash, picked it up at a hobby shop quite a while back, and flowers are from Heartfelt Creations – theoretically small petunias, but I just turned them into blossoms.

Personally I think it’s adorable, but I know I’m biased! Thanks for stopping by and looking!!

Fairies Fairies Fairies!

Last one I swear – just kidding, I have a whole pack of G45’s Fairy Wings paper that my sweetie gave me for Christmas, and I plan on using every last sheet of it, one way or another!!

This is another combination of G45 products and Heartfelt Creations – by this time, you have already figured out the HFC flower dies are what I use almost exclusively for my flowers, and these are the Sweet Magnolias and Cherry Blossoms. The other HFC element is the light blue circle around the fairies – it is actually the “waste” from one of the Centerpiece dies – which I cut out of heavy white cardstock, AND some shiny blue paper to give dimension to it, and frame the fairies.

Just a close up of the fairies and flowers.

Aaaand the inside. G45 often will have a “collectors pack” or “deluxe pack” with their papers that includes bonus stickers which are fun little things – sometimes I pop them up on some chip board for dimension, sometimes not.

Fairy Wings Shaker Card/Folio

I’m in love with Graphic 45’s Fairies – whether its the Fairy Dust or Fairy Wings paper, they are both just adorable. This card is really sort of like a folio/gift card, as you will see – the inside has a pocket that has goodies inside. This is another card I may enter into a DT contest.

The flowers were made using fomiron (thin thin foam sheets) and Heartfelt Creations Sweet Magnolia (small) dies, and the medium Cherry Blossom dies – then I hit them with just a touch of heat from the heat gun (low heat) to get things to curl just so.

The sprinkles were from “Buttons Galore” – its a cool little shop that tells you how many spoonfuls of each different kind of sprinkle you will get in your package, and they have lots of variety!

I made the shaker element by hand – somewhat trickier than the premade kits – I had a couple of heart shaped dies, clear cardstock, and about 1/4″ wide strips of sticky foam to lift it up. All this stuff was in my “stash” – the sprinkles, the foam, the ribbon – its amazing how well it all came together. The ribbon was from Hobby Lobby, I think.

Isn’t this just precious? The colors go so well together!

Here’s the inside there’s a little booklet, a tag or two, and a treat!
