Love this mini album.

Last Saturday I held a fun class creating these mini albums. Here is a whistle-stop pictorial tour of the process:
A toilet roll, flattened by running through the Big Shot
and trimmed to 4"long.


The card insert cut from thick whisper white card stock
 and shaped with the tag punch.



Put glue the cardboard pocket and cover
with your choice of paper, ensuring the strip of paper overhangs
on each end.
Snip the paper along the length, up to the edge of the pocket.

Put glue on the paper and press down along the edge to neaten.

Use a bone folder or similar tool to ensure
the paper has adhered well. Repeat on other side of the pocket.





Cut strips of paper 1" wide and scored at
1/2" then folded in half.

Use these strips to neaten the top and bottom edge of the pocket.

Repeat to create 4 pockets.

Cut 2 covers from chipboard and cover with paper and or card,
Punch holes, lining up both covers and all the pockets. Add rings.

Ready to decorate with ribbon and trims and wooded hearts

Big alphabet dies, confetti punches and stamps

Photographs, die cuts and bakers twine.

Little envelopes and heat embossed lips for kisses

Heart dies

Craft ink, ribbon and 3D die cuts

Project Life paper clip dies

More envelops, stamps and some fussy cutting

Embossing folders, lace doilies and a button

I loved this project and you could change the theme to suit a variety of different occasions.

Get gathering those toilet roll and kitchen roll tubes.
