Good morning! Today we will present how to create an awesome mini album using the new collection "Happy Heart" by PrinkFresh. An awesome collection full of butterflies, beautiful flowers, pastel colors and some touches of gold!
Let's go!
We will start by preparing a shaker box with the help of an embroidery frame.
Choose your embellishments and set it aside, we'll stick it to the cover after we're done with the rest of the mini album.
For the album base, you will need:
3 pieces of chipboard sheet: 2 pieces 7"x7'' and 1 piece 2"x7'' for the spine.
Choose from the collection the papers with which you will dress your base, one for the outside and one for the inside.
Watch this video - ignore the measurements in the video, you'll use your own - to understand what to do if it's your first attempt to create a mini album from scratch 😉
To create the base for your album pages, you need to create a classic 6-page 'hinge' first: you will need
an 11 1/2" by 6" chipboard piece that you will score with your scoring board at 1/2", 2", 2" 1/2, 2" 3/4, 3" 1/4, 3" 3 /4, 4", 4" 1/2, 5", 5" 1/4, 5" 3/4, 6" 1/4, 6" 1/2, 7", 7" 1/2, 7" 3/4, 8" 1/4, 8" 3/4, 9", 9" 1/2, 10".
For your pages, cut 6 pieces of white cardstock 12'' x 6'' and fold them in half.
Choose your cards for each page, and glue them down. I would suggest decorating first and then gluing your pages to the spine for ease.
In the following photos you will see the finished album to get ideas and inspiration...
A truly unique mini album with an awesome spring collection!
I hope you have a beautiful Sunday, and keep on creating!
Artistic kisses!
