This 8×8 Mini Scrapbook is made the same way as my “Super Quick 8×8 Mini Scrapbook” but instead of using patterned papers I have used Coredinations Card stock and Crafter’s Companion 8×8 Textures Embossing Folders.
This mini uses just four 8×8 envelopes and 4 sheets of coredinations 12×12 cardstock.
By embossing the card and sand it with the Sand It Set, it gives a great affect. I have also sanded the edges of the photo mats to make it all match. I have then used the Crafters Companion Textures Stamps to add more insterest to the book.
This Mini Scrapbook is super quick to make using very few materials. You can fill it with photos ready to give away or it makes a great gift ready to be filled with photos. So think about it embossing folders are not just for cards!

Love the idea and the original album in the video. In fact, I already see a way to make it using four sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 one hundred pound card stock for the base pages.
Unfortunately, the extreme almost grundge distressing turns me off to the new version, although the embossing folders idea is very intriguing.
Just personal taste, of course.
Thank you for your comment John and it good to see the mini idea has got you thinking of using different materials.
I have made this mini as part of my samples for a Crafters Companion Demo Day.
I am given the products to use to make samples for the demo day. I like to come up with as many different samples trying to showcase the products and also show how you can use them in different ways so they also suit different tastes too.
Embossing folders mean you can make the same album if you don’t have patterned paper.
I hope you have enjoyed the Video Tutorial and have a go at making this Super Quick Mini for yourself? Dawn
