Butterfly Mini Album featuring Katie Pertiet Designs In The Leaves collection.

 I just adore creating mini albums, and when I found this butterfly die set at a local garage sale for 1 dollar, the visions of what I could do with it ran through my head!!! Immediatly, I knew i wanted to create a fall themed mini. Sorting through my Katie Pertiet Designs digital collections, I picked In The Leaves, whhich was originally designed as a paper collection for 49 and Market. It truly is a fabulous collection with all of the warm vibes of Autumn. Having the digital collection means I could print up what ever I need for my projects. 

I recently discovered Mix2Mold which is a ceramic resin powder that you mix with water for your silicone molds. I think I own all of the Prima Marketing Moulds, so I was excited that Mix2Mold created perfectly crisp castings. And I didn't even have to prep it with paint or gesso, I just mixed Lindys Gang Magical Shakers using Katie Pertiets Laurel Garden collection. The colors were perfect with the In The Leaves Collection!! Gorgeous rich fall colors! The Frames and leaves castings took the Magicals perfectly!! I am so excited at this finding! 

This ia a view of the mini album opened up front, spine and back. I am so pleased about how it came together. 

This is the spine. Printing and fussing cutting was so easy to do. I also created printables with the digital  elements for my Silhouette Cameo. But I do find fussy cutting is relaxing to me, so I do it often. Nothing else to do while sitting in the carloop line for an hour!!

Here is the first page of the mini. I backed the frames and most of the elements with chipboard to give it a little dimension. I also did a lot of splattering on the pages with the Magical Shakers. This also leaves a bit of shimmer. 

I love all of the sentiments. In The Leaves also has a great collection leaves, butterflies and frames! 

More frames and butterflies!

The little acorns are so sweet as well. Mixing them in with the fall leaves makes the perfect little clusters. 

There are different styles of frames. Perfect for those little fall photos you might have.

I did use some Elizabeth Craft Design die cuts and tucked them here and there in the album. Anjelica Turner designs the best floral dies for Elizabeth Craft Designs. And the Greenery Fillers are awesome. And if you know me, you know I love making flowers!! Once again, I colored the die cuts using the Magicals. Laurel garden is a must have color collection. I love my Magical Shakers. 

More leaf clusters. 

For the little circle elements, I punched a hole on the top with my Cropadile, set an eyelet and strung some string through it. 

I love the little Filmstrip frame. The beauty of digital is you can size the elements to any size you want to suit the size of your projects. 

You can also cut apart the sentiments to fit your space. 

Thank you for joining me today. 

Katie Pertiet Designs has hundreds of digital collections to choose from, for printing. There are many already designed for printables that will save you the work of doing it yourself. So many of the collections can be mixed and matched for a wide variety of projects. The possibilities are endless. 

In The Leaves digital collection is what I used for this mini album. 

Lindys Gang has  the most beautiful colors from Sprays to Magical Shakers and Powders to embossing powders. I'm obsessed!! Get Laurel Garden. It is a delightful collection of shimmery colors. 

Mix2Mold is now my go to for casting my molds. Mix with water and pour into your molds. Perfection!!
