Tutorial Part 2 : Making Mini Albums : Different ways of Using 12x12 Cardstock

Hi All,

I hope you all liked 2 mini albums I shared with you previously made out of 12x12 cardstock. I couldn't stop myself and made few more. Today I am showcasing one more mini album which has multiple pages and pockets to keep messages and stick photos/notes etc. 

It's a 3x3 inches album with 16 3x3 inches pages.  I have used Femina Paper pack to decorate my mini album. The theme of  my mini is "Love" which anyone can give it to their loved ones. Here is the front look.

I have used MFT Because You stamps and dies, Scalloped edges dies, Stitched flowers dies and Corners dies to accentuate the mini album.

Let's have a look at the individual pages.

For each page, the left side will hold photos while right one has a pocket to keep my messages.

Isn't the girl from Papericious Femina pack diecut sheet is super cute and stylish? I fussy cut various elements from Femina diecut sheets to decorate the inside pages and pockets.

Since the album had 8 pockets, I created 8 2.25x2.25 inches message tags of different types. I stamped various sentiments from MFT Because You stamp set on back of Papericious Femina papers. I also used Papericious Pink Jute cord to create the pullout.

Since few of the sentiments were longer in length, I cut 4.5x2.25 inches pattern paper and folded into half so that it can fit into the 2.5 inches pockets. Here are all the tags when opened. Isn't the sentiments cute? I also decorated the insides by die cutting stitched flower dies from Papericious Femina Papers.

Here is how the tags fit into the pockets.

Another look with all the tags kept inside and album tied up with Papericious pink ribbon.

Here is a brief pictorial of how I created the base of the album.
Step 1 : Score the 12x12 paper at 3,6 and 9 inches. Rotate the paper and score the other side at 3,6 and 9 inches at well. it will give you 12 3x3 inches squares.

Step 2: Score and cut as shown in the picture. Start folding each 3x3 inches square. Once it reaches to the end, fold over to next row and glue these 2 square together.

It's easy peasy to put it together and looks really cute too.
I hope you enjoyed the 3 albums I shared and showcasing different ways to use 12x12 sheets of cardstock.
