How to: My Valentine mini album with Top dog Dies

Hello there friends! I'm here to share my second project as guest designer at Top Dog Dies. 

I created a My Valentine mini album using the Heart Mini Album Die and the Heart Mini Album Finishers Set.

1. Start by running your base materials and the Heart Mini Album Die through your die-cutting machine. I used some foil, canvas and cardboard.

2. Run an embossing folder through the die-cut foil for texture and interest.

3. Run the die-cut pieces through the Xyron 5" Creative Station for an even layer of adhesive. Adhere canvas sheet for the back panel.

4. Apply alcohol inks on foil panel.

5. After adhering all the papers, punch two holes through the pieces, then adhere washers and rings.

6. Decorate the cover using patterned papers, bling, key, mica flakes, stickers and the Heart Mini Album Finishers Set [vellum envelope and mini heart].

I love that the Photo Mats die is perfect for using patterned patterned scraps...all I did a little stitching around the edges for a little texture. And the Leafy Branch die is awesome for all my little outdoor "scene" layouts!
