• “My Pet” Brag Books & Matching Cards - by Kaye McGrath

    These quick and simple little albums would be the perfect gift for an animal lover.

    Instructions for Albums
    Using the plain Bazzill mark and cut 3 x 15cm wide strips.
    Join together with double sided tape to make one long strip.
    Measure and score and at 12 cm, 24cm, 36cm, 48cm, 60cm,72cm and 84 cm.
    Cut off excess. Now fold, using mountain and valley folds alternately.
    This should make 7 pages for your album.

    To decorate the album cut a piece of Birch patterned paper 14cm x 11cm and attach to the cover using D/s glue or glue of your choice.
    For these album I have used Spellbinders scalloped circles in various sizes, Spellbinders Labels 6, both sides of the Birch patterned paper and coordinating Bazzill.
    Print a name for the album and attach to the cover. Stickers have also been added to the various pages
    Using double sided tape attach a ribbon and tie a bow.

    Instructions for Cards

    Scottie Dog Card.
    Attach a piece of black Bazzill across the centre of the white card. Centre the Spellbinders scalloped circles die over the dog on the Birch patterned paper and cut 3.
    Glue to the black card.
    Attach a strip of ribbon across the top and bottom of the black card and add a greeting.

    Fluffy the Cat Card
    Attach a piece of Plain Bazzill 10.5cm x 9cm to the white card, glue a strip of ribbon across the centre. Cut 3 alternate sizes from the Labels 6 dies using Bazzill and patterned paper, add a greeting to the top Label.
    Centre the Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die on top of the cats on the patterned paper and attach to the side of the card using 3d dots.

      I tried to comment on these yesterday, somhow it wouldn't let me in. I love these, they would be perfect for so many occasions............and brilliant for cat and dog lovers. I'm thinking of doing the folded ones as Christmas cards with a picture of my cat looking festive..............just need to glue a hat to her head and tinsel to her tail first

      Beth, I have a very good friend with a "Fluffy" cat so I thought she may like it to put photos of her pussy cat in there. Unfortunately my other firends dogs name was a bit too long to fit on the label.

      Fluffy will be soooo excited! I can just see her now, sitting admiring her OWN album all about HER!

      As for the Dog one, I plan on making one of those for my little furry boys! maybe next week when I'm on HOLIDAY! some puppy photo's would go well in one of those.
