Romantic Folio 9 x 11

 

Hello.

It's Karolina here. Today I am sharing this lovely 9 X 11 Folio

To cover the folio inside and outside, I cover the edges using white gesso.

 Then I cut the paper slightly smaller than the size of each section. 

I covered Folio with patterned paper using glue.

Also, I covered both books in patterned papers and made one book.

I made a pocket for photos or tags.

I tried to make my Folio album very simple because I will keep it on my shelf, and I don't want to damage anything. I will decorate the album inside when I add photos in future. 

I made some extra mats.

I used vintage ribbon to wrap around the folio.

Bracket Edge Top Close Mini Album

 

Hello.

It's Karolina here. Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts has an excellent Bracket Edge Top Close Mini Album.

I created it for an Autumn swap on one of the FB groups.

First, I added white gesso and a bit of gold wax to the album's edges.

Next, I cut the paper to decorate the album.

The next step was to distress the edges using distress ink. 

 

I stuck the paper to the album using glue.

I use a gold paste to decorate my album.

In the end, I added two pieces of ribbon to close an album. Also, I die-cut some leaves.

You can visit my YouTube channel to see the whole process.

Here are some photos of the finished album.

Folio album

 

Hello everyone.

Karolina here. Unfortunately, my phone stopped working, and I lost all my photos. Fortunately, the project isn't challenging, so we can manage without step-by-step images.

For this inspiration, I picked the folio album you can buy here. This Folio album measures 9x11 inches. I decided to make it in a simple style. I will add to the album, photos in black and white.

First, I distressed the base of the Folio album and connected all pieces of the album using glue.

 I cut out the elements from the patterned papers to cover the base of the Folio album. 

All pieces are a bit smaller than the base of the album. After that, I stuck them using glue.

In the photo below, I made a mat for photos, but I didn't cover the whole mat, so now I have an extra pocket for photos or mats where I can write something. 

I made a pocket using a small strip of paper on one of the smaller flaps.

On the one flap, I stuck some mats one after another. Before that, I fold them in 1 cm.

I also stuck an envelope to keep more photos or notes.

I used natural string to tie this lovely Folio album.

Book Of Love Heart Mini Album

 

 Hello everyone.

Karolina here. I can't believe that it is June already. Time runs so fast, incredible!

During my exploring of the GSLC website, I saw a Book Of  Love Heart Mini Album. 

I thought it would be fantastic to work on this little piece.

Definitely, I will keep this mini album, because the finished project is very personal, probably because I added to this mini book important sentiments.

The first step was to coat all pieces of this lovely album with white Gesso on both sides. Then added some colours using distress oxide inks. In the end, I splashed some water on the surface. 

The next step was to add some texture. I used plenty of different stamps and inks.

I used a black crayon for all edges of the mini book. Then I made holes using the crop-a-dile punch and added a ring. I chose some ribbons to attach to the ring.

The last step was to stamp out different graphics using stamps, colour them and adhere them to the pages. I chose some inspirational sentiments, stuck them to the pages and used a gold distress crayon to add the final touch.

GSLC product used:

Book Of Love Heart Mini Album

Other supply used:

White Gesso, Distress Oxide inks, glue, sentiments, stamps, gold and black distress crayons, ribbons and inks.

I hope you like my mini book, and I cannot wait to see your interpretation of this project. Please share it on the GSLaser Cuts Craft Group on Facebook.
