A Paper Melody: MFT's August New Product Tour

Hello and thanks for stopping by! The MFT Design Team is taking you on a tour of all the new August products that are available now in the MFT Boutique. You can find all the new products right HERE!

For my project today, I am showcasing then new Mini Album Torn Notebook STAX Die-namics. Back to school is around the corner so I decide to make a school themed mini album.

Let's start with the cover. I wanted the album to be sturdy enough that a child could handle it, so each page is mounted on a piece of lightweight chipboard. I like using a lightweight chipboard because I can use my Die-namics with it, and I prefer an album that is not too bulky.

I will be using the largest die in the Mini Album Torn Notebook STAX Die-namics for each page. To create the background pattern I used the new MPD Collage Backgrounds Stamp Set. I stamped the pattern in the new Whip Cream Pigment Ink, covered it with embossing powder, and heat set the pattern.

I used the By the Letters Die-namics to spell out "grade", cut from corrugated paper. The number "1" is cut with the Big Numbers Die-namics for chipboard, and then Black Licorice Card Stock, and then I covered the number with a coat of MIX-ables Sheer Sparkle Glitter Glaze.

The "st" is from the By the Numbers Stamp Set, and I used the larger die in the Dainty Doily Duo to mount the number.

Since the album will be a gift I wanted to leave plenty of room to added pictures. Any patterned paper I used is from Graphic 45.

The sentiment on the left is from the Bold Statements Stamp Set and the heart is cut with the Heart STAX Die-namics. The letters on the right are from the By the Letters Uppercase Die-namics.

Here I added a pocket for keepsakes. I machine stitched the pocket to the page and added the border with one of the dies in the new Blueprints 6 Die-namics. The camera stamp and is from the new LLD Document It - Enjoy the Journey Stamp Set and the sentiment is from the DC Behind the Camera Sentiments Stamp Set.

I wanted to have a place to add journaling, so added a few smaller pages, with one of the smaller dies in the Mini Album Torn Notebook STAX Die-namics. I stamped the lines with a stamp from the LLD Journal It - For the Record Stamp Set in Sno Cone Ink and the sentiment with the LLD Journal It - Graph Paper Notes Stamp Set.

"This Week" is cut with the LLD Accent It - Story Titles Die-namics.

I kept the next pages simple. The sentiment is from the Complimentary Greetings Stamp Set and I used three Die-namics Sets, Accent It - Cute Cameras, Bitty Banners, and Fishtail Flags. The background on the right is stamped with the Distressed Background Blocks Stamp Set in Red Cherry Ink.

On the last page I added a journaling card and sentiment with the Journal It - Top Ten Stamp Set and the Insert It - 3x4 Insert and Accent It - Flags & Tags Die-namics. I added another journaling page and numbers cut with the Die-namics High-Rise Numbers.

I hope you have enjoyed this release as much as I have!
