A Traveller’s Keepsake – Vintage Suitcase with Binding Discs

 Hello crafters,

This time I’ve made something a little different - a mini suitcase packed with vintage charm and creative details! To make it easy to open and flip through, I used binding discs from Hunkydory (honestly, they’re brilliant for this kind of format). Inside, I created two small notebooks and a set of journaling cards - a proper little travel companion for any creative soul.

I worked with the Clockwork Emporium Deluxe Craft Pad and the Terrific Typography Adorable Scorable Designer Card Pack. The mix of steampunk vibes, bold fonts, and vintage textures was just perfect for this theme. I added tags, layered papers, and little details that make each piece feel personal and full of character.

This is already my third inspiration using binding discs, and I’m still amazed at how versatile they are. Albums, planners, notebooks, themed kits - there’s so much you can do with them!

Thanks for stopping by - hope this project sparks some ideas for your next crafty adventure!

Fun, Colour & Character – My Binding Disc Scrapbook

 Hi friends,

Here’s another cheerful album I created using the binding disc system from Hunkydory — and this one’s packed with colour, humour, and personality! I used the Golden Oldies Luxury Topper Collection, Golden Oldies paper pads, and the Notebook & Journaling Pad to build playful pages full of character.

To frame the photo spots, I added die-cuts from the Moonstone Dies – Polaroids & Smiles set — they work perfectly for adding structure and a fun touch to each layout. The binding discs make it so easy to flip through and rearrange pages, and I love how they come in festive colours like red, green, gold, silver, white, and black.

This album is full of joyful scenes — from beach holidays and yoga poses to retro selfies and dancing grannies. I had so much fun mixing patterned papers, toppers, and embellishments to tell little stories on each page.

I didn’t use any scoreable paper this time — just focused on layering, colour, and movement. The disc format is perfect for memory keeping, themed journals, or just crafting for fun.

Thanks for stopping by — I’ll be sharing more disc-based projects soon. Hope this one brings a smile and a bit of inspiration to your creative day!

A Christmas Wish – My First Binding Disc Album

 Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a festive mini album using the new binding disc system from Hunkydory - and I have to say, it’s such a fun format to create with! I wanted something playful and full of texture, so I went all in with layers, sparkle, and cosy Christmas colours.

For this project, I used the A Christmas Wish Luxury Topper Set, along with acetate printed with holly leaves, scoreable paper, and glitter cardstock to add dimension and shine. I didn’t use any stamps - just die-cuts for the frames and sentiments, and I wrote the numbers by hand to give it a more personal touch.

The disc system is really easy to use thanks to Hunkydory’s punch tool, which makes prepping the pages super quick. And the discs come in beautiful festive colours - red, green, gold, silver, white, and black - so you can match them to your project or mix them up for a fun look.

This mini album was such a joy to put together, and I’ve already made more projects using the discs - I’ll be sharing those soon!

Thanks for stopping by - hope this brings a bit of holiday inspiration your way!

Magical Christmas Album with Card – Craft&You Design

 Welcome, crafty friends!

I’m so excited to share a little Christmas project I’ve been working on - a cozy, festive album with a matching card, made using the Magical Christmas paper collection from Craft&You Design. It’s an older release, but still one of my absolute favourites for holiday crafting. The illustrations, colours, and vintage charm are just timeless!

To help you see all the little details, I’ve added a few extra photos - the layers, textures, and embellishments really come to life when you flip through the pages.

✂️ What I used:

• Papers: Magical Christmas by Craft&You Design 

          CPB-MC15 Bloczek 15x15 Craft&You Design - Magical Christmas

• Dies: A mix of border dies used throughout the album to decorate edges and add elegant finishing touches 

          CW366 Wykrojnik /Die - Small Frame borders / Wykrojniki brzegowe 5szt

• Window detail: I used a hexagon-shaped die to create a peek-through window on the cover - it frames the vintage scene beautifully and adds a fun interactive element

           CW343 Wykrojnik /Die -Hexagon Base Set/ heksagon bazy

Inside the album, you’ll find layered cutouts, glittery accents, and lots of festive motifs - red trucks, candy canes, pinecones, and cozy mugs. I kept the colour palette traditional with reds, greens, and snowy whites, and added dried orange slices and little details to make it feel warm and nostalgic. On the cover, I created a little window using a hexagon die - it frames the scene beautifully and adds a fun layered detail.

This project was such a joy to put together - perfect for gifting or keeping as a holiday keepsake. Let me know what you think, and I’d love to hear if you’re working on any Christmas crafts already!

Feel the Magic Inside – A Mini Album with 3Quarter Designs

Hello, dear crafters! 

There’s something truly special about creating a mini album—it’s like capturing little pieces of magic within its pages. Today, I’m sharing a dreamy project made with the beautiful papers from 3Quarter Designs. Their enchanting fairy-tale-inspired collection was perfect for bringing this whimsical creation to life.

The album features delicate layers, fussy-cut details, and dimensional elements that transport you to a world of fairies, glowing mushrooms, and secret forest hideaways. I absolutely love how these designs tell a story, and I wanted to enhance that feeling with interactive elements and rich textures.

Although I’ve included only a couple of pages in the photos here, this mini album actually holds four additional spreads, each filled with magical details waiting to be discovered. From hidden pockets to layered embellishments, every page is a small adventure. All the pages will be shared in the full blog post.

One of my favorite touches is the cover—embellished with floral accents and a mystical mushroom house, it sets the tone for the story inside. And of course, what’s a fairy tale without a little sparkle? I added just a hint of shimmer to highlight the ethereal beauty of the illustrations.

This project was created as an inspiration piece while I was part of the 3Quarter Designs Design Team, but somehow, I never got around to publishing it—until now!

I hope this project inspires you to create your own little world of magic. Let me know in the comments—do you enjoy working with fantasy-themed designs?

Happy crafting!

Mini Album with Flower Fun Borders

 Hello, hello...

Today, I’d love to share my latest project – a colorful mini album featuring the Flower Fun Borders stamps from Polkadoodles. These beautiful stamps add a fun and artistic touch to the design, making the pages even more special.

I created the background using Distress Oxide, blending the colors to achieve smooth transitions and a cheerful effect. The stamped elements, including the borders and doodle-style accents, bring a unique charm to the album. I also added stitched details and layered decorations to create more depth and texture. Of course, I couldn’t forget about the meaningful sentiments that make the album even more personal.

This mini album is perfect as a keepsake for a friend or a creative way to preserve special memories. I love its compact format and the fact that it can be tied with a ribbon – it feels like a little treasure chest full of memories.

I hope my project inspires you to create your own unique albums!

What do you think about this colorful background? Do you like incorporating stamped elements into your projects?

Album - mixed media flowers

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to show you my vintage album with slides based on the latest collection from Polkadoodles - mixed media flowers. 

 Flowers are simply stamped black and white on tracing paper and fitted in the frame. 

They were decorated with sheet music and Distress Ink 

and stamps from the same collection, and the previous one - Soup. 

The album has 4 special pockets inside for these flower slides. 

On each of them, there is a quote about each flower.

I made it in a vintage style, in my favorite shades of brown.

Here is a short reel about this album made by Nikky from Polkadoodles:

I hope you like it.
