Introducing the Armoire

By
The Armoire My Creative Spirit
Hi everyone, I'm super excited to be sharing the launch of our elegant Armoire Kit and Bundle with you today. This gorgeous laser cut MDF kit measures just under 14" from the base to the top of the pediment, is 7" wide, 6 1/2" deep and has a slot and stick assembly system.
A fabulous kit on its own but, as we all like to make mini books and have places to tuck and keep memorabilia, I've designed a Mini Album, Mini Album Box and little pull out box that sits on a suspended shelf too.
The detailed assembly guide (digital download) that comes with both options is video driven, includes a full assembly guide for the Armoire, dimensions for cutting the album covers and mini album box from chipboard, the small box from card, tips and techniques for the project and a generic cutting guide to decorate everything in papers of your choice.
I've had loads of fun altering our two samples in different paper lines giving them a totally different look. So let's take a look at them.
Grand Hotel Armoire - Stamperia
Our first sample has been decorated in papers from the Grand Hotel collection by Stamperia. I used the standard 10 sheet and the Maxi 22 sheet pad to give me a wider choice of paper to use across all the pieces in the project and used most of them. The colours and patterns in the papers work so well together to give a soft vintage look to the finished project.
 .   
The Mini album and Mini Album Box are the same size and fit perfectly in the larger area of the armoire.

The album has six layered pages and can be altered in lots of different ways depending on what you want to use it for. You'll find various options in the PDF Tutorial.
Lost in Paradise Armoire - Graphic 45
 For our second sample I went for a luscious green feel to set off the bright and vibrant colours of the papers and images in the Lost in Paradise collection by Graphic 45.
