A Year in Review - Baby Blocks with Mini Albums - Paper Phenomenon


This is a cute little gift item for a new baby.  There are actually three cubes in the design.  Each cube hold two albums, that can stand alone as a great gift in itself.  The albums each have two halves, so with the three cubes it would represent the first the baby's first year, four months in each cube!

I actually made three cubes, one in blue, one in green and one in pink from a beautiful Graphic 45 baby inspired paper.  I thought it would make three great stand alone gifts!

Super easy, made from chipboard and so much fun!  I hope you enjoy!


 I know it looks like 4 albums, but actually it is two albums that swing open like this..


 Each of these halves contain two mini albums.

At this point you can use a small stamen but

Here is a card I made for a special birthday.  It was really very simple using the Heartfelt Creations Rounded Lattice Window Die and Classic Roses. This was actually my first card for 2020 and one of my first attempts using foam for the roses.  I hope that you will find this card inspiring. Begin by using the 6"x6"Shutter Fold Card in White.  You will need to cut two 6" circles in the paper of your choice using the outer circle die from the Rounded Sunlight Window Die Set.  I used this beautiful blue plaid paper from the Buttons and Blooms Paper Collection. I then cut the two circles in half, giving you four half circle pieces to cover the two front half circles on the card. Find a pattern of the coordinating paper that you like and cut a 6x6" square for the back opening of the card. Next you will need to cut out four of the Rounded Lattice Window Die from the Lux Gold Cardstock.  Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive glue the gold die cuts over the bl
