Hello everyone!!

It's Isa today on the blog! How is everyone doing? How are you dealing with this lockdown due to Covid? I hope that everyone is doing fine and that you are safe and healthy.

Today I will present you a new copta book using the new Studio Forty collection, So Romantic. I have to say that it is one of the sweetest and more beautiful collection that I have seen. I am completely in love with the Project Life cards! I totally recommend them!

 For this copta book I have used all the papers from the collection to make the inside pages. The size of the book is 3x4 inches so I can make lots of pages from a 12x12 inches paper. 

The covers are wood pieces that I have cut and painted myself. I always like to add some white paint spray on the covers to soften the color of the acrylic paint I use in the covers. I have used also details from the papers to decorate the cover and also a chipboard from the So Romantic collection. 

 Stitching the book I have added some embellishments, beads, details that I have cut from the papers of the collection, buttons and chipboards that are quite small so they fit perfect here on this small book. I always enjoy creating these kind of projects, I love the result and it gives you the chance to store lots and lots of pictures. 

 As you can see, on the inside pages you can find the patterned papers of the collection So Romantic. 

 When creating these copta books it is very important to control how you tense the thread when stitching because it can make the book open and not close properly. The more you practice this technique, the better the results will be with time. As a reminder, I made a tutorial a while ago for Studio Forty and you can find it on this blog. 

 As I am used to doing with the collections of Studio Forty I have prepared a 3x4 inches copta book using all the patterned papers of the Lunare  collection. For the cover I decided to use two pieces of wood that I cut myself and I painted them in black with acrylic paint and then I used some white spray paint to add the drops and add this effect of galaxy and space. I also cut some decorations from the papers and from the paper that has journaling cards to add the elements of the cover.

In the spine of the book I have been adding some embellishments and beads, tassels...even chipboards from the Lunare collection itself. I love to have them full of decorations hanging there. I think they are the most beautiful details to add in these kind of projects. 

On the inside all the papers I used are from the Lunare collection. I cut them in pieces of 6x4 inches and bent them to make pages of 3x4 inches. I love this size in these projects. They are tiny and cute. 

I like the view they have and you have the opportunity to store lots of pictures or add lots of journaling in it. 

On today's post I want to show you my new copta album that I made in a mini size. The size of this album is 3x4 inches. I wanted to use also the papers of the project life cards so that is one of the main reasons why my copta album is mini. Also I wanted to try this kind of project in this size for a long time. 

I have painted the cover with a Nuvo mousse of a golden color and I have decorated the cover with details from one of the papers of the Gaia collection and a transparent sticker. I have also used brown thread to combine with the colors of the collection. 

 If you feel curious on how to make this kind of albums I made a tutorial a while ago that you can find here. As you can see now in the following pictures in the inside of the album I have used almost all the patterned papers of the collection as pages of the divisions in the copta. I like that in this kind of projects the inside are papers of the collection I am using instead of using white paper for the pages. 

 

I have used lots of embellishments for the spine of the album, buttons, pearls, tassels, wooden decorations... I love mixing all kind of complements!

All the complements combine with the colors of the collection,as well as in size, as the album is small I have used tiny complements and I think that the result is really really cute.

And last but not least I want to tell you that I am going to GIVE AWAY this project! To all the people from Spain you just have to go to my Instagram publication and follow the instructions and this album can be yours!! 

 I hope you liked it and that you make tons of beautiful projects with the Gaia collection from Studio Forty because it is simply amazing!! I will be back very soon with new inspirations!!
