Welcome to Day 3 of the Blog Hop with Authentique Paper!
Birgit here today with a winter mini album featuring Authentique’s Peaceful line.
I’m usually not a big fan of themed papers. Too often they have specific colors that are not necessarily my favorites. I love bright colors, not only in summer but in winter too! So I’m not looking for wintery papers in blue, white, grey and brown. And that is exactly why I love this Peaceful line so much! The “black & white” paper with a tiny little touch of green gives me the opportunity of using patterened papers, yet choose my own colors to add!
First I want to show you how to cover your chipboard pages with Adhesive Sheets:
1. Get your supplies together: chipboard album, patterned paper, Adhesive Sheets;
2. Lay a chipboard page between the adhesive side and the backing paper;
3. Role firmly with a brayer to apply the adhesive everywhere;
4. Lift up the adhesive sheet carefully, if necessarily put it down and role again, then remove;
5. Put the chipboard page on the backside of the desired patterned paper, adhesive side down, role again with the brayer to apply paper to the chipboard;
6. Go around the chipboard with a craft knife cutting the page in the right shape.
Now you have perfectly fitting paper on your chipboard page. A big pro now is that if you paint the paper they will stay nice and flat because it is glued down everywhere!
Then create the little envelope:
Cut out the envelope (Sizzix Movers and Shapers Pocket Envelope and Mini Hearts Set). Color around the cut out heart and on a piece of paper that fits inside the envelope. Apply the piece of paper to the inside using E-Z Dots Permanent, then close the envelope using Crafty Power Tape.
Paint on the covered pages and the clear pages and add text using stickers and sticker letters coordinating with the paper line.
Bind the book using tie ribs. Then add frosty sparkle to the clear pages using Adhesive Sheets, E-Z Dots Permanent and Wow! Fab Foil.
Take a little piece of Adhesive Sheet and randomly apply it to the clear page. Keep the edges curled up to avoid square blocks. Then add some E-Z Dots and put a piece of Fab Foil on top, shiny side up. Rub a little and then remove the foil.
Now you’re colorful winter mini is ready to be filled with pictures and stories

Wonderful! Love, love, love the papers and the way you used the adhesive sheets to add the foil and patterned paper. Less messy than other methods and amazing results.
What a cute mini album! I would have never thought to use adhesive sheets to cover the album so much easier then using a tape runner! Thanks for the great tip!
Great album–I like the splashes of color.
LOVE the idea of using adhesive sheets to cover the mini, and the foil looks amazing!

Great album. Love the tutorial on how you did the pages.

I have never used the adhesive sheets…so I learned something new today and also find out I was missing out on something that makes covering mini albums a whole heck of a lot easier.
Thanks so much for the explicit instructions and photos. The album is unique and so interesting.I so want to use adhesive sheets. I have had some for a while and now I know how to use them!
I love the adhesive sheets and am never without. Doing some of these albums for Christmas gifts this year.

I haven’t tried the adhesive sheets for covering chipboard yet, only for small diecuts. It looks like it works great.

Never thought to use the adhesive sheets to cover chipboard! Thanks for the great inspiration!
Gorgeous mini album!TFS
I MUST get some of those adhesive sheets. I can think of so many applications (no pun intended) for them. The foil technique is a great touch. I’ve never made an acrylic album, but that may change. It’s really effective. I like the zip ties to hold it together. Lovely!!!
Love the album, looks great with the Authentique Original collections, Great look using the paint to add texture to the album. I use scrapbook adhesives all of the time, thanks for making a great product. TFS and a chance to win. pammejo1@yahoo.com
