Thank You Gift Bag

Hello all, Michelle here from Michelle's Paper Affair bringing this cute little gift bag.

For this project I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do. I wanted to make something outside the box, something really different using my Bind It All V2 and I hope I had accomplished just that!

On the center of the gift bag I added a flap that would untie and reveal the word Thank You. You can easily add Happy Birthday, persons name or just about anything your hearts desire.

This is the first time I used these pearl sprays......they are so cute.

Here is a close up showcasing the flap and 3 D embellishments that I used foam dots on.

Products used :

• Zutter - Bind It All, O-Wire 1/2" silver
• May Arts - Ribbon
• Pink Paislee - Indigo Bleu paper & embellishments
• Pinking scissors 
• Gift Bag 

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you soon ♥

Clip-Board Wood.......Just Fabulous!

Hey there.........Michelle Gutierrez here to show you the mini album I made using the 6"x6" Clip-Board Wood  cover, Heidi Swapp , and Bind It All V2.0.

When I first saw this Sugar Chic line from Heidi Swapp, I knew immediately that it would be a perfect girlie album. The freedom to create an album using this awesome line makes me so happy. Mini albums have been my favorite thing to make and gift for many years now. Along with my Bind It All V2 and 6"x6" clip-board I set off to do just that.

When using the clip-board and because of the thickness, you will need to apply a whole lot of pressure to get the cut through. I had decided to center the album in the middle for my Bind It All and cut only 6 holes for my O-rings.

 On the inside of my mini album I used chipboard and cut it to 5 3/4x5 3/4 to fit inside the 6x6 album. I loved all the embellishments that came with the Heidi Swapp line and I was able to find these cute Zebra gemstone to make perfectly.

Cousins Mini Book

 Hello All, this is Michelle Gutierrez here today to share with you a mini book I created with my Bind It All.

I love capturing the good times my son Diego has when he is hanging out and having fun with his cousins. Diego is the youngest boy in the family. After him follows4 girls, they were born back to back right after him.

This week I wanted to share with you how I made this adorable mini album with only 3 sheets of chipboard. My Zutter Kutter cuts almost everything. It cuts chipboard, book board, Zutter Canvas Artboard, foam board, stacks of cardstock, leather, and Zutter's Corrugated Cardboard. It makes cutting my thick chipboard very smooth and easy. I cut all 3 sheets to get all 6 - 5"x7" pages size for my album.

For this album I used the Loyal collection line from Authentique Paper. I was able to add 3 D Dots to add dimension to my cut outs on the front cover. I love how my album looks complete by just adding my ribbon to the end of the Owires.

 Using the Bind It All makes punching the holes in my album for my Owire's very easy and convenient. It also binds the Owire as well, making it a dual-action machine. How awesome is that?

 Here is a close up showing how the perfect the Owires look and fit through the holes. 

 I love using my Zutter corner rounder. They come in 2 sizes 1/4" or 1/2" round edges. I used the 1/2" to round all the corners for my album.

 I love how all my nephew and nieces ham it up for the camera.

 I called for their best pose.......this photo cracks me up!

This would have been an awesome picture had Diego not crossed his eyes......LOL

A Little Kindness Goes A Long Way.......

Happy Sunday everyone! This is Michelle Gutiererez here for Zutter Innovative with my 1st blog post. I am so excited to share this acrylic album I made! 

This handsome young man is one of the kindest well mannered kid I know. No matter what he does, it is always with a "please" and "thank you". Teaching us all the a little kindness goes a long way....... a simply amazing kid, my Vincent is.

I cannot tell you how much I love my Zutter Bind It All V2 tool. It all starts with a vision, my Bind-It-All, 7.5"x 5" clear acrylic album  and all the fixings to create an awesome mini album. 

I used 1/2"  Silver O-Wires to bind the acrylic album together. 

Use the Centering Arrow in the middle of the holes printed on the Bind-It-All (above "T" in "Zutter") to center the book  to place the binding in the center of the acrylic album pages.   Continue with each page int he album and arrange the pages in order. Flip the back cover of the book towards the front and insert the O-Wires from the back pages of the book, through the covers. Then use the Bind-It-All to close the O-Wires. Be sure to use the plastic O-Wire templates included with your Bind-It-All to set the machine for the proper size of O-Wire before closing.

How awesome is it that you can create an album what ever size you want using the Bind-It-All!

Here are all of the pages of the assembled album:

• Album - Clear Acrylic 7.5"x5" Zutter Innovative
