Using Your Die in Innovative Ways

Posted on February 20, 2022August 23, 2022 by ilu4eva3

Welcome back to the i-crafter blog. Today I am sharing a way to take your Recipe Mini Album die and change it to a fun mini album for children. Previously we visited the Circus with the kids and took so many photos I wasn’t sure what to do with them. So, I decided to use this die to create a Circus mini album to show off all the fun photos I collected. I used fun bright colors and various dies from i-crafter to make it happen.

The die set comes with fun add-on pieces that I used to dress up the mini album. I took the die and created a pocket for a photo mat that is double sided as seen in the photo above. I simply covered both sides and added the divider tab that will be used to remove/hold the photo mat.

For this page of the mini album I created a Wiper “Memories” popup. Above is how it looks when the book is closed and below is a closer look of the wiper features of the die set. I simply took the Memories sentiment from the Recipe Mini and used it.

For this page I used the Dashed Squares for the photo mat and used the Box Pops Lucky Cat Add on for a fun extra piece in the mini album. Using the i-Clik Die Pick makes gluing on the small intricate pieces so EASY!
