In case you missed it, all of the products in our popular Happiest Place collection are on sale for 20% of through the end of July! This collection was first released last summer and it includes paper, embellishments, SVGs and an 8.5″ x 11″ Cut Above scrapbooking album kit. Using the FREE downloadable directions below plus a extra paper, you can transform this kit to make 16 beautiful 12″ x 12″ Disney-themed pages!
While the Happiest Place Cut Above pages are perfect for 8.5″ x 11″ albums, all of my albums are 12′ x 12″. So I added added the beautiful silver trimmed Coordinating cardstock and a few extra pieces of solid cardstock to make these full size layouts.
I kept a lot of the features that make our Cut Above workshops so great like printed papers, stickers and die-cuts that are labeled by layout number. Each of my layout uses the pieces that go with the corresponding 8.5″ x 11″ layout. This means you can sort the pieces that come in the kit and follow my cutting directions to add additional pieces to each of your stacks. Once everything is cut, use the assembly guide to create each 12″ x 12″ layout. Here’s a closer look at the completed pages:
A great thing about this kit is that it includes white photo place holders so you can add your photos later. I like to trim my photos an extra 1/4″ smaller so that the place holder becomes a photo mat.
The kit includes several Flap Flaps. If you have not used these before you will fall in love. The guide that comes in the kit includes directions for placing them on your finished pages. You can follow those steps even if you make the 12″ x 12″ pages. I did use a few of the pieces shown in the flip flaps when I redesigned the pages, but that just leaves more room for your photos — we always have more photos don’t we?
Speaking of more photos, even though these pages have more area than the originals, I did not add additional photos. I wanted to keep the directions simple, but there is certainly room on most of the pages for another photo or two. You will have extra cardstock left if you want to cut mats for those pictures.
To complete the kit you will need:
- Happiest Place Cut Above Workshop Kit
- Happiest Place Coordinating Cardstock
- Additional Solid Sheets of solid Cardstock (6 white, 2 Lagoon, 2 Black, 1 Glacier)*
*You can order assorted colors of solid cardstock with custom packs of 12 or 24 sheets.
Have fun creating!
