TIPS ON HOW TO CREATE ODD SHAPE MINI ALBUM PAGES

DON'T LET THE SHAPE CONFUSE YOU

Sometimes when you have to create or embellish a page that has an unusual shape you find yourself intimidated or frozen. Because we're used to working on squares a different shape can be confusing. But don't let that discourage you! Whatever the shape of the page is limit yourself to it's boundaries and work within them.

MATCH EMBELLISHMENTS

Usually when a page has a different shape it effects what you can or can't put on it. Curved lines for example, don't match the straight lines of an envelope or tag. Use smaller shapes that would fit the space you have and attach them in an angle so they'll fit the curved edge. It's OK if the embellishments stick out a little bit as long as they don't interfere with the binding.

USE THE SAME COLLECTION

Use the same paper collection for the pages and the embellishments. This way you'll be able to cut out images and shapes to match the theme and colors of the pages. Try to find shapes that have the same characteristics as the page. For example: circles, curved shapes and images that are not squares will fit your pages perfectly.

ADJUST SIZE

If you want to use a square that is too big for the page adjust its size by cutting it or folding it. This way you'll be able to create interactive mechanisms like flaps and inserts for the mini album.
