Accordion Album

Hello,

Here I am with another DT inspiration for Mini Album Makers Challenge.

Today I have a simple Accordion or zig-zag fold album. The album measure 5.5 inches x 5.5 inches and I have used Scrapboys 'Flowers Story' paper pack.

I have a pictorial tutorial also on how I created it. Here are a few picture of the album.

How I made it:

• Take 5 pieces of kraft colored cardstock measuring 11 inches long by 5.5 inches wide. You can have more pieces. It depends on how many pictures your album has to hold.

• Score on the 11 inches side at 5 1/2 mark and fold. Burnish the folds. Do it for all the pieces. 

• Stick the flaps of the pages as shown below. the valley of the fold and mountain fold should be facing opposite. 

• Continue with the rest of the pages.

• The end flaps should be facing you. Take two pieces of chipboard measuring 5.5" x 5.5". Cover them with pattern paper. 

• Stick the end flaps to the inside of the chipboard. Now you have the front and back of the album.

• Decorate the pages as you wish.

Here is a flip through of the album:

Hope you liked my project. Do check the Mini album makers Challenge blog for more inspiration from our DT members and share your projects.

Till next time - stay safe and craft more.

Enveloped Shaped Mini Album

Hello,

Hope you are keeping safe and healthy. Today I am sharing my DT inspiration post for Mini Album Makers Challenge for June. This time I have made an envelope-shaped mini-album, which is cute, compact, and perfect for gifting.

I decorated the front with fussy cut elements from the paper pack and a few die cuts from Fantasy Dies. I applied a coat of Wink of Stella Clear glitter on the flowers. Here is a closer view

The album measures 7.5 inches x 5.5 inches with a depth of half an in inch. I have used 'Loveland' papers from Scrapboys. The envelope opens and you have two more envelopes on either side. 

I added a few flaps on the central part for adding photos. I added a vellum pocket which I embossed with gold embossing powder. It holds a journaling tag and a photo mat. 

Here is a walkthrough of the album: 

 

Thank you for stopping by. Waiting to see you create and join our challenge for the month of June. 

Stay safe, stay healthy and keep crafting!
