Disney Mouse Ear Fuse Tags

Check these out. I attended the D23 Event (Disney Convention) in Anaheim back in August and made these envelopes with Tags (photo below).  the envelopes were made using my Silhouette.  The paper is from an old Disney Brochure. The paper was definitely sturdy enough to send through my Silhouette to cut. I love all the scenes from the Disney Park. Each envelope is approximately 5" x 7" finished.
 Here are the photos of the individual envelopes:
Inside each envelope were these Mouse Ear tags using the "Fuse" to encase them to become shakers. Inside are Gold, Red, and Black sequins with punched Mouse Heads (EK Success).  Each tag is approximately 4-1/2" x 5-1/2".  Use Simple Stories 3" x 4" Say Cheese" panel papers that come in 12x12 sheet. The Mouse Ears were made using the Silhouette  - simply "weld" together a rectangle and a couple circles. Then use the "Fuse" to encase it in between some plastic.
Photos of each tag below:  Add a Black eyelet and a plastic ring, tie some satin ribbon for the finishing touch to each tag.  In some tags, there are some special words: "magic" and "memories" cut using gold paper which were made using Frantic Stamper dies found here.
 Back of tag:

Disney Memories Mini Album

I made a couple of these albums for friends who were making Disneyland as a destination for their family vacation. The instructions for this album can be purchased from Cristi Maron in her Etsy shop found here.  Her blog site is called Paper Hoarder Disorder found here. Her assembly video on You Tube is easy to follow and very informative with lots of tips and tricks of assembly. There are lots of photos of this 6 page album - lots of pages that flip up, flip out, open here, open there, pull out here, pull out there. For this 7" x 7" x 2-3/4" album, I followed Cristi's Simple Stories Say Cheese paper direction and sequence to get a feel of this album. Thank you Cristi for this great album inspiration.  This is the front album cover:
 Here's the spine and back cover:
On the spine, a special Disney Diamond celebration metal embellishment adhered using Ranger's Glossy Accents.
Punch out a Mouse head using the EK Success punch on Black glitter paper: I also used a black pen around the edges of the Mouse head.
The view master is a image that was cut using my Silhouette. The heart brad is from Stampin-Up (retired embellishment). This view master actually turns and photos can be slipped in between the layers.  In order to ensure the view master was stable, several layers of black card stock was cut, then glued together. The film strip is also a Silhouette file.
Inside front cover: I added a glitter die cut Princess Castle (die is from Frantic Stamper found here).  For the pocket decorative edge, I welded together a couple mouse heads (made using circles) using my Silhouette.

This little album was made for a friend's birthday. The companion card was posted yesterday.  I love this little mini album - finished size is 3" x 4" and will hold (36) 2" x 3" photos. Can you even believe that?  Inspiration for this project from Alexandra - her blog is Clay Guana found here. This project on her blog is called the ATC Size Mini Album posted on August 23, 2015 - instructions can be found here. Graphic 45 Couture Paper used.
Chain Tassels are from Rangers Tim Holtz Ideaology and Brads from Tim Holtz   Ideaology. A We R Memory Keeper Enveloper punch used to make the tags and pocket flaps.  Clear Wink of Stella is added to many of the clothes worn by the girls (unfortunately, none of the photos show this).
