How Do You Do...BAMBOO!

Good morning Zutter friends, 

Pinky here with a fun book today, a Bamboo Spine Cover-Alls mini album!

When I found these I just fell head over heels for the amazing look. 

Let me share a quick tutorial on how I put this "Happy Day" album together. 

Step 1. Begin with 7X5.5 Bamboo Spine Cover-Alls book.

Using Clearsnap Smooch Spritz- spritz book all over, focusing steady spritz on spine. 

Step 2. Create your cover page & back cover page. To fit cover (Make 1/2" smaller).

One shown in photo. Trim paper to 7 1/4"X51/4". Trim second paper to 6"X4 3/4" adhere.

Stitch on sewing machine, add lace, stitch on machine. Repeat for back cover page. 

Step 3. Adhere cover pages to book cover- using strong adhesive. 

Step 4. Embellish cover as desired. 

For inside pages:

Step 5. Trim out several pages to desired size. 

Step 6. Using Zutter Bind-It-All punch out holes for O-Wires.

Step 7. Using insert page- punch out holes for O-Wire remember 

to use C-setting as shown in photo. 

Step 8. Using Zutter Wire Cutters- trim O-Wires.

Step 9. Flip insert page to front of pages, insert cut 1" O-Wire.

Step 10. Set Bind-It-All to 1" setting to accommodate 1" O-Wire. 

Press handle firmly. 

Step 11. Flip insert back over to back of pages. 

Step 12. Insert into Cover-All. 

When you are completed your book will look like this!

Ready for all those special memories and photographs, to be preserved for a lifetime. 

 I really hope you enjoys the post today, please come back and say hello.

I would love to hear from you all!

Coffee Sleeves and Instagram

Hi everyone!  Nancy here today to share with you a project I made using some coffee sleeves and my favorite binding tool, the Bind-it-All.


I love using my phone to take photos and have taken bunches of shots using Instagram.  This small format was perfect for these low resolution photos.

I really put my Distrezz-it-All to work to create the shabby chic look I was after. Placing the papers over the coffee sleeves. And then binding with 1 inch Antique Brass O-Wires.

I used lots of different trims and flowers from the Hydrangea Hippo store to coordinate with my Prima Marketing papers.

The size of this album was just perfect for using up some scraps I had lying around from previous projects.

So, have you ever used the Distrezz-it-All?


Hugs.

A Little Whimzee and a Sweet Mother's Day Mini

Hello Friends! Heather Mendenhall here with my first 2012-2013 Zutter Zister design team post. I have been over the moon excited  at having this amazing opportunity to share my love for paper crafting and creating fabulous mini albums with my Zutter products.


My journey into the scrappy world started when I had my daughter Hailey and realized that I wanted her to have more than a simple baby book that was half filled out; I wanted her to have beautiful albums that she would one day share with her own children. For many years it was a hobby, getting together for coffee and scrapping with the moms at preschool, until I started realizing that I wanted a challenge, to make unique albums that no one else had.

This past year I started to really put myself out in the crafting world and have been selling at craft fairs, launching my Etsy shop and blog, and attending conferences to grow my business and let others enjoy my paper crafting creations. I enjoy displaying my art and meeting other crafters and customers who are as excited as I am to take home an album, as I was to create it. I have always believed that handmade items are the most amazing gifts to give and receive, and I feel truly honored to be a part of the community of crafters and artists who live in this handmade world with me.

Today I am going to share a darling mini album that I made as a special order for Mother’s Day. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to creating with you this next year!


Best,
Heather

Sweet and Lovely

Hello, hello, hello there!

Candice Elliott here for my first design

team post for Zutter Bind-It-All and boy is it exciting.

Today we will be taking a glimpse into

a little of my life, creative style and processs,

and ofcourse some wonderful uses

for Zutter Innovative tools.

Looking back a little over 7 years ago

one thing that has not changed about

me is loving lots and lots of layers.

I really didn't notice it then due to

just giving scrapbooking a try. The more I

created the more constant it became

for me doing so. 

What Zutter has done for me now

in my creative growth is opened up

a brand new door for endless possibilities.

I just have to say that Zutters Clip Board Covers

and Zutters Acrylic Covers only fed my passion

for layering. It was the first thing that popped

into my mind!

Most often in my creations I tend to

focus on the joy life has to bring.

In this album titled Sweet and Lovely

I wanted to focus on not only the

joys but also the tears and trials

along the way. You could say that

I created this album solely for myself.

I wanted to focus on the amazing things

you can create with Zutter Innovative tools and

products!!!

I wanted to focus on motherhood....

I wanted to focus on love....

I wanted to focus on what makes me just me

and my creative style.

Bit by bit and piece by piece in life

and in all my projects I walk a little bit further

and grow a little bit wiser.

Well that concludes my very first post

and I truly hope that it was enjoyed by all.

I am looking forward to sharing more

and spending some creative time with you.

Thank you!
