Creative AddINKtion: tri fold shutter albums

Hi Stampers

Have you made one of these?? They are so easy, so much so that Stamp club made these back in April. These were a real hit for Mothers Day gifts with lots of great feedback. To construct the base is fast and easy and the quickest bit, it is the decorating that takes the longest. With the latest Stampin’ mini they offer a fantastic selection of co-coordinating cardstock colours, Designer series paper and stamp sets. Anyway this is what the end product looked like…

okay so not the best picture, but here is my first attempt at it

and then you open to this.

Okay I found some more pictures of the Stamp Club sample.

The Cottage Garden range from Stampin’ Up is very easy to work with, now we open up the cover to this……

and now if we stand it up it looks like this…..

Once you put your photo’s in this then your masterpiece is complete. All of the products used in the making of this were Stampin’ Up with the cardstock colour and Designer series paper and ribbon all from the new mini catalogue.

The tri fold shutter album was the creative idea of the very talented Andrea Walford. Andrea did a fabulous job and she is so very talented. Unfortunately I was unable to purchase one of Andrea's kit so I went ahead and created this album based on her idea.

Here is a small sample of some of the completed albums that I have completed.
