Fairy Garden 6X6 Mini Album | With Shellye

We've all been there: down to the last few sheets of a 6X6 paper pad...what to do?  Today I'm sharing a Mini Album created with leftovers from the Fairy Garden Paper Pad!  The covers of the pad were even used.  Let's take a look...


This album was as easy as folding the 6X6 papers in half and adhering to each other, back-to-back.  I used a total of 7 pages in all.  Note: I did corner round all four corners of each folded paper before gluing together.  The corner rounding at the top and bottom of the fold allows rooms when tucking under the elastic strap.


For the front and back covers, I used the front and back covers of the actual 6X6 paper pad!  I trimmed the first piece down to 3X6 and the other piece down to 2.5X6; this is the spine. The 3X6 pieces were covered in a piece of 12X12 patterned paper and then corner rounded at the two right-sided corners.


The spine piece was covered in paper of the same size and scored at 1" and 1.5".  The two 1" flaps were then attached to the covers with high-tack adhesive tape.  I used a a 1/8" hole punch to make two holes and the top and bottom of the spine.  A piece of cording was strung through to create a strap for the pages. 






On the "bluebird" pages I used the Sweet Rolls Stickers to make a custom background!


Left-over strips of paper, die-cuts, stickers, sprinkles, washi tape and paper tabs were used to decorate the pages as shown! Because the pages are naturally narrow, I found it best to score the larger die-cuts at one edge and glue the edge down; allows more placement options for photos!

Thank you for joining me today!

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!
