Katie Pertiet Designs Curated Studio Mix 40 digital collection./Fall themed Mini album

Sometimes, digital papers can be printed to create your projects. Katie Pertiet Designs has the best digital collections that can be printed on paper to create with. I love creating mini albums. This mini album was created using Katie Pertiet Designs Curated Studio Mix 40. I love Autumn, and there are so many collections to choose from in the fall theme. I used Scrap Diva Designs Acorn die set. It is such a great die set. I'll have to make another!! So off to find another beautiful Autumn collection at Kate Pertiet Designs.

I love creating my own flowers because it gives me control over style and color. Printing up digital paper from the collection and printing the same color on both sides saves  me from coloring the flowers. I do enhance the colors using inks or my go to is Lindys Gang colors. Magicals are my favorite. And Katie Pertiet has her own color set that matches this paper collection perfectly. Laurel Garden has those colors that give you the Fall Vibes. The colors are beautiful and I have used them throughout this mini album. Even if they are just splatters!! 

There are 8 pages that include a front and back cover. Each page was such a pleasure to create. The collection I used had plenty of ephemera. If you are Photoshop savvy or familiar with a similar program, you can create printables and resize your ephemera any size you want. And if you have an electronic cutter, you can cut out the printable even faster. But for this collection, I fussy cut some of the elements while sitting in the carloop line at my granddaughters school. It passes the time quickly!! 

You can be as creative as you want with dimension because the book ring allows the pages to be as thick as you want. I adore the Melange stones I used for the cover. They are backed with the sweet green polka dot paper from the collection. I used a clear adhesive to the bottom of the stone, and cut around the stone when it was dry. Or you can cut the circles to size then adhere them to the stones. Great way to create a matching embellishment. 

I love the sentiments in the collection. I used many throughout this mini.

 

I used Prills and rhinestones on the cover as well. I also spattered some of Katies new Magical Shakers  collection with Lindys Gang, called Laurel Garden. The colors are rich Fall colors. A must have Magicals collection to have in your stash. I can see using it over and over again. I die cut the flowers from paper that was printed on both sides. That way, there is no white showing underneath. I enhanced it with the Magicals and placed some stamen  for the middle. I added more sparkle with a fine clear glitter that resembles German Glass Glitter. 

Each one of the pages has a tuck spot for a photo. Some of them are pullouts, and some you just cut your photo to size and tuck them in. Besides the digital elements, the smaller leaves were die cut from the Acorn die set. Cutting them from scraps of paper were perfect!! 

Here is a list of all of the products I used to create the mini album. The joy of using your own stash to add to the printable digital designs is that the possibilities are endless when creating.
