This gorgeous 8×8 Gatefold Trifold Mini Album is the perfect Keep Sake Mini Album.
This has been made as a sample for the up and coming Pink Frog One Day Special Shows over on Hochanda TV Friday 12th March 2021 until Saturday 13th March 2021.
I have used the Pink frog 20cm x 40cm Super Smooth Cardstock and the Brand New Spring Flowers and Typewriter Sentiments Stamps.
The Album itself is really quick to make so gather your supplies and lets make this super quick Mini Album.
The measurements are,
Cut one sheet of card at 20cm so you have 2 pieces of 20cm x 20cm.
Score another piece of card at 9cm & 10cm on either end and burnish the score lines.
Now stick the 2 square of card to the flaps on each end of the piece you have just scored, this is your cover.
Take the next 3 sheets of card and score each one at each end in 10cm and burnish the score lines.
Watch the video if you wish to add the shaped pockets to your project.
Once you have cut shapes (optional) you can stick the 2 end flaps of the centre card to the out side ones.
now stick the middle large panel to the cover you have created.
Attach your ribbon fastening and you are ready to decorate.
Decorating your Album with Patterned Papers.
Patterned Paper sizes.
