Welcome, today I want to share this pretty mini album with you all. I am really enjoying making other papercrafting projects at the moment as well as cards. I designed this album to give me a template that could be adapted for a variety of uses. Some of these ideas were; a birthday calendar, mini photo book, Christmas preparation lists and a gift card/money wallet holder.

Mini album using one sheet of cardstock.  Free tutorial available for signing up to my Ink it up news. Products used include the Jar of Flowers bundle along with Stampin' Blends for colouring.  The only other item you require is a paper trimmer with scoring attachment.

The album cover requires one sheet of coloured cardstock and then the rest of the details are up to you. You could just stick panels of cardstock on the inside and not have pockets if you wanted to keep the design even simpler.

Inside the mini album

The below picture shows the inside pocket detail which I ‘dressed’ up with some designer series paper and a little stamping. I like the pockets with the inserts as it adds some extra dimension and detail to the project.

Front cover of the mini album

The front cover uses stamped images cut out with the jar punch and the flowers were fussy cut after colouring with Stampin’ Blends. I’m completely addicted to Stampin’ Blends currently as you can add such depth to your colouring with them. The more you practise with them the more confident you become.
