Photo Stacks - Christmas

This is the 4th and last (for this project) post about my photo stacks.  As mentioned in the last few posts the details on how to make this style of phot stack is in my first post - Photo Stacks - Boy Themes.

This post is just showing the final two which are Christmas themed.  

Papers are by Fancy Pants:

Happy Holidays - Tree Lot

Happy Holidays - Snowfall

Happy Holidays - Festive

Also used in these photo stacks  - Clear Acetate and rub on's.

The scoring for the Acetate was @ 3" on the 12' side - I then used the clear layer on top and added a rub on  - love the effect!

Otherwise same deal as the others, just mixed up the pages and reversed the sides and viola!  Unique and fun photo stacks ready to capture Christmas memories.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my photo stacks...am still considering whether to do a you-tube showing detail for each page - we'll see.

I can say this was fun and quick and I now have lots of Photo stacks ready for use.

Keep smiling something crafty could happen today.

Photo Stacks - Pretty Girl

In my continuing effort to catch up on the projects I have been working on, here is the 3rd installment of my photo stacks project.  For details on how they were made visit my blog post Photo Stacks - Boy Themes.

This post is showing of the 2 girly themed stack that resulted from my efforts.

Papers by Fancy Pants:

Dancing Girl - Dancing Girl
Dancing Girl - Tutu
Dancing Girl - Hip Hop

The same three sheets of paper were used to make both stacks.  The papers were reversed and the order changed to give them a different look and feel.  I had lots of fun creating funky edges on these two.  Simple, fresh and girly...  They will be fun to use in a future project.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my Photo Stack projects.

Photo Stacks - Boy Themes

Inspired by Heidi Swap  (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhOvgFNvJy4) and her use of Photo stacks in her memory folders, I though this might be a away for me to capture more photos on a scrap book page.

So... I went to my 12x12 paper stash and grabbed a stack of papers, then I sorted my papers into bundles of three.

Next I took my paper cutter and cut all the papers to 6' x12'.

Keeping 3 sheets of 6"x12" per stack I then set about scoring the papers to create a graduated effect.  I tried a few measurements but the one that worked best fro me was to score as follows:

On the 12' side score:

1st sheet @3.5"
2nd sheet @4.5"
3rd Sheet @5.5"

Fold, stack and then either staple or sew - I sewed mine, and it was easy peasy.  Finally decorate to taste and style.  I used the envelope punch board to create some tabs and otherwise used all sorts of punches to create variety on my photo stacks - Note I made heaps and it really didn't take that long...more posts to follow with pictures of the others.

So, the photo stack above has two sheets of paper and one sheet of Stampin up vellum.

The papers used for for both the boy stacks were:

Fancy Pants - Rough and Tough: All Star, and Wishing Star

And here is the second stack...the papers are ordered differently and I added a layer of Kraft to this one for more variety.

The awesome Chevron punch used on these two stacks is a Stampin Up punch - I want it!  (Note - I used this one at a friends house).

And here is a little picture of my very old sewing machine...I have had this little baby since I was bout 8yrds old.  After I wiped the dust off and threaded up the needle it was clear sailing with the sewing.

The photo stacks are now ready to be added to any project or used as they are and each has lots of space for photos.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
