Here is Style 3 in my File Folder Mini Album Tutorial Series.
Using just 1 File Folder, 1 sheet of 12×12 Kraft Card Stock and a Freebie paper collection from a craft magazine, you to can create this beauitful mini album.

Basic Measurements for this album are;
Open up your file folder and on the shortside score at 1 1/2″ 6 3/4″ & 12″.
On the longside score at 8 1/2″ & 9″.
Cut 4 photo mats from the Kraft card stock measuring 6 1/2″ x 5″. (If you what the video you can see how to get 4 photo mats from one sheet of 12×12 card)
Now you can watch the video and craft along with me to make this beautiful mini album.
I do hope you enjoy it?

To make a board cover for you scrapbook mini albums can take sometime and some skills if you are a new crafter. However, in this video tutorial I show you a quick way to get the same affect in minimal time and at very low cost.

With the use of an empty cereal box or similar and some 12×12 patterned papers, you can now make your own board covers for your mini scrapbook albums.

This is a great mini scrapbook album with lots of pockets and tags to showcase you cut down 6×4 photographs. It can hold a total of 28 photos and still has room for journaling and places to store memorabillia.

 

For this project you will need; 4 sheets of 12×12 coloured card stock, 6 sheets of 12×12 patterned paper to make you main album with extra sheets if you wish to mat and layer the photo mats, cutter-parts/die cuts elements or stickers to embellish your finished album and an empty cereal packet to make your cover.

For each page you will need a 12×12 sheet of double sided patterned paper, then score this at 3 1/2″ and 8 1/2″ then do a quarter turn and score at 6″ you can follow the video tutorial to see how each page comes together.

The photo mats/tags are cut from card stock for each page you will need 2 measuring 4 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ and 1 measuring 10″x 4 3/4″ score in half to make a tag card.

I have used a kit from Scrapbooking Kits R Us http://scrapbookingkitsrus.co.uk/kits-for-sale/best-of-friends-by-echo-park/ for this project and I have added my own cardstock and a couple of sheets of my own matching paper to mat some of the photo mats.

This tutorial shows you how to turn a ordinary everyday manilla envelope in to a decorative gift bag. It is a quick and easy project to do in very little time and for very little cost. You may never want to payout for a gift bag again.
