More Fun with Xyron, May Arts Ribbons and Little Yellow Bicycle!

Today is my part 2 for the May Arts, Xyron and Little Yellow Bicycle inspiration week.  If you missed my post on Wednesday, I created a layout, that you won't want to miss.  The Poppy papers from LYB were so fun to work with, and my Xyron and May Arts Ribbons worked perfectly with them.  Now on to today's creation - a mini album.

It is so easy to cover mini albums using Xyron products.  This was a wooden Kaisercraft album - and I was able to run all three "pages" through my Creatopia at once.

After running the wood pages through my machine, I adhere my paper, and trim it roughly to the size and shape.  I sand the edges to make it perfect.  This is why I love using my Xyron for this - the entire paper is stuck down, and doesn't peel away in areas when I am sanding.

Xyron has a couple of new products and I used them to attach ribbon to the front panel.  First, I used the High Tack Double-Sided Tape to add the Chevron Stripe Twill.  This ribbon is not going anywhere!

After that ribbon was on, I wanted the narrow gingham ribbon layered on top.  I wanted my bow to stay exactly where I wanted it, and not flop around.  So the second new product I used were the High Tack Adhesive Dots. They are the perfect size and great hold to keep my bow secure.

I finished the album cover and pages with the beautiful Poppy papers and embellishments sent from LYB.  

Around the sticker, I added some May Arts Satin Flowers for more texture.

 

I layered the leaf ribbon behind the poppy stickers.

 

Of course, I had to tie ribbons around my binder clips to finish off this fun little album.
