New at SU - Feb 2025 Blog Hop - Make It Mini

Create a project Make It Mini - THAT IS SMALLER THAN A TRADITIONAL CARD
using products from the 2025 January-April Mini Catalog!

This could be notecards, tags, home decor, gifts, packaging, etc....
but make them TINY (smaller than 4.25" x 5.5" Imperial)

Hello, Shaz here and welcome to my blog - Studio Shabaz CreativeMe68. 
I am loving being part of the New at SU Design Team, and the challenges that they throw 
our way make us think outside the square.

Sooo Make it Mini!!!
I have chosen to use the Hugs For Love Bundle on Pg 54 of the Mini.
This bundle (which you save 10% off it if you buy the bundle) has a Stamp and Punch Bundle.
AND I am making a Mini Album that concentinas inside itself with multiple layers.
I received this one as a swap many years ago at one of our Stampin' Up! OnStage events.
I have always wanted to make my very own version. 

I saw this theme and I knew I had to make it, BUT I had to go searching for it in my swap box goodies that I want to try to create one day!!

So here is the original design, if you are indeed the creator please let me know.
Isn't it so STUNNING...That DSP - Feels Like Frost was one of my all time Favourites.

Now not having any measurement to go by, myself and a friend spent all day Sunday.
Measuring, checking and remeasuring to get the cutting and scoring correct.
AND I always try to cut myself a template.  So I cut one for Julie too as she was helping.
We then had to work out all the layers of DSP, this has been a labour of LOVE...

So I used Petunia Pop cardstock as my base, Fresh Freesia cardstock for the layers
 for this project and then Beautiful Bokeh DSP for all the layers inside.

All the DSP had  to be inked  with a dauber and then adhered to the cardstock layers.

It is really difficult to tell you how to make this...all I can tell you it has taken me days.
PM me if you want my dodgy measurements.

I hope you like my project...
I should have taken in between photos BUT honestly there was not much to see.
Here is the only photos I took.

Today I put in the all the stamping and the photographs of my Beautiful Granddaughter.
AS this is a small project 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" x 1 1/8", the photos are only 2" x 2"
This stamp set and punch work so well together for this project,  just the perfect size.

Some of the pockets and elements need something else on them, BUT at the moment
I can't find the right sized pieces to decorate the rest.

I have used small magnets and small velcro dots to hold the pages together.
I have also used Iridescent Strip Trim to tie pages together and for the tags.

I will try to find somewhere long enough to take a photo of the entire project layed out flat so that I can show the front and the back and all the layers tomorrow.
