Fairy Garden Card-Envelope Album

The new Doodlebug fairies are loving their new home tucked inside this sweet card-envelope mini album! "Fairy Garden" is filled to the brim with mushroom houses, garden critters and of course, colorful fairy girls!


 I've taken a pack of assorted cards and envelopes, a few 6X6 papers and journal cards to create the pages of this chunky little mini.  I'm happy to share a quick little YouTube video of how I put the pages together, so I hope you'll check it out!


As you can see, I've stacked and staggered the cards and envelopes by shape and color.  In between the layers of those, I've also added sheets of 6X6 papers that have been folded in half.  Also, a couple of pieces of the 3X4 journal cards that were side-by-side and then folded in half.



The envelopes were slightly modified (shown in video) by cutting the closure flap in half so that it will open on both sides of the fold. I also cut away the flaps on a few of the envelopes.  Fill the pockets with tags and journal cards!



The pages were embellished with die-cuts, washi tapes, stickers, sprinkles and more!






For the longer journal cards, I folded them in half and then used a cute clip to hold it closed.  Leftover strips of paper were turned into tabs that I added to some of the smaller pages.  I love all of the staggers of colors and patterns popping out as you move throughout the album!

Again, I have a pretty short video on how I started with this album and a bit of the process of putting it together: YouTube Video.  I hope you'll give it a try!

Our Love Soars Pocket Mini

Don't you love giving handmade? 
 Today I have a really quick and easy "French Kiss" Mini Album that
 features pocket pages that can hold tags, handmade coupons, gift cards, etc. 
 It's double-the-fun!

To begin, I sorted through the patterned papers and components from the 
collection and chose several of the pieces sans red accents.  
Next, I cut three different papers into 9"X6" strips;  you will be able to 
et two pocket pages from each 12X12 paper.  
Reserve the leftover paper for photo mats.


Each of the six 9"X6" strips were scored at: 3" and 7"; turned and scored at 5.5". 
 The papers were folded along the score lines and the flaps
 secured with a permanent adhesive tape. 


The fronts and backs of the pocket pages were accented with 3"X4.5" photo 
mats that were cut from leftover papers, as well as papers from the 6X6 Paper Pad.



I created grassy hills using a circle die and Limeade Petite Print Swiss Dot paper.  
This is a perfect way to anchor pieces such as lampposts, puppies and people!



To finish, a small hole was punched at the top left of each pocket page 
and a binder ring strung through to hold the pages together.  
Die-cut tags were added to the pockets and embellished at the tops with 
mini paper clips and die-cut hearts.  It may be mini, but there are tons 
of places to add photos, journaling and keepsakes!

Post Mother's Day Album

Happy be-lated Mother's Day to all of my crafty friends!
I had the pleasure of crafting a very special mini album all about "mom" for
WE R MEMORY KEEPERS

For the pages of the album I decided to use a couple of sizes of the envelope shape, 
so I grabbed the 1-2-3 Punch Board and a few of the patterned papers from the 
"Flower Girl" Collection.
For the front and back covers, I selected the 7X7 card size and proceeded to cut, score
 and assemble per the instructions on the punch board.  Note:  I left the TOP flap 
unscored on all of the pages.

For the four inner pages, I selected the 6X6 card size.



Next, I used the Cinch Book Binding Tool and activated the 3, 6 and 9 levers (this will
 allow punches at these areas only).  All of the inner pages were punched at this setting.

Standard eyelets were placed in all of the punched holes and set with the Crop-A-Dile.


Moving on to the front/back covers, I went back and activated the levers 1-12 and
 punched the sides of the two envelopes.  The Gold 0.75” Cinch Wire  was used to 
bind the front and back pages together.  I will show later on how I added the inner
 pages to the Cinch binding!






 Three one inch rings from my stash were used to clip the inner pages onto the coil
 binding of the front and back pages.  When the album is lying flat, it flips easily for viewing!


To the pockets of the inner pages, I cut patterned paper to 5.5”W X 8.5”H for the
 two larger pockets and 4.5”W X 7.75”H for the four smaller pockets.  These are
nice places to add journaling, extra photos or clip on different ephemera and keepsakes.  The pockets are also roomy enough to add extra tags or clippings to.



 From the “Flower Girl” Card & Frame Kit, I selected various acetate frames and
 attached them to the tops of the inner pocket inserts.  Again, I used the green eyelets
 and Crop-A-Dile for attaching.  Different veneer pieces, puffy stickers and die-cuts
 were added for decoration.



Patterned papers were also cut to mat size and placed on the backs of the envelope 
pages.  These pages can accommodate a large 4X6 photo or a few smaller photos.



I used some different American Crafts Thickers from my stash to add extra-large words, as well as texture to the front page and the little banner flags above. 

You may also think of using this style/shape mini album to design a house or home theme!  With all of the pockets, it’s great for storing receipts, bills-to-pay, etc.  By using the Cinch system, you can create well-made and professional looking mini albums and organizers.  Mom would love to receive any type of these handmade gifts!
