Here in the UK Father’s Day falls in June and to celebrate the occassion I have create a New Father’s Day Envelope Mini Album.

However; this project is made using patterned papers, card stock and an empty cereal box.

Here is the link to make the cover – Cereal Box Mini Album Cover

The papers used in this video are First Editions, Desert Blooms.

Don’t forget you can also make this album using 8×8 papers for a smaller mini album.

Also your choice of papers can give this mini album a totally different feel. So this album can then be used for any occasion.

i do hope you enjoy making your own and please let me know how you get on. Dawn x

Here is the Super Quick Gatefold Envelope Mini I made for one of my Shows on Hochanda TV. I made this on the Essential Card Show as as you all enjoyed it so much I have done this video Tutorial for you.

This Super Quick Gatefold Mini Album was made using;
2 of the 5″ x 7″ Card Blanks
6 of the A^ Envelopes
1 sheet of the A4 Card
Patterned paper and ribbon from my crafting stash.
I know you will enjoy this project and making one or many too!

Here is a Memory Box I have made for my new niece.

The main MDF Box came from MDF Man. I have painted this with acrylic paint and add a crackle glaze to give it a textured affect.

The two small boxes are paper mache boxes and I have treated these in the same way before decorating them.

I have also added a small 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook Album made in the same way as the Online Workshop for the Not So Mini Year Book. and a Paper Bunting Banner for her nursery.

Here is a 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook made using the
instructions from my Not So Mini Year Book Tutorial.
The skills you will learn from the Workshop can be adapted so you can make a variety of different mini albums using different configurations.

This time I have made it using a pack of 6 x 6 Kraft cards instead of A3 cardstock.
I have also only made it with 4 pages instead of 6.

So when buying my Online Workshops you can adapt your creative skills and use the workshop time and agin to make many different types of mini albums.

These Mini albums have been inspired by Elsa of Just a Few Designs  and this is my  take on her awesome “One Page Binding Mini”

She has created a One Page Binding Mini in which is great as each page uses just one sheet of 12×12 double sided paptterned paper.

You can click on the links to see Elsa’s video tutorial One Page Binding Mini and to go to her blog Just a Few Designs.

I love both of these Mini Albums and by just changing the binding you can give this a whole different look.

So go a head and experiment with different ways of binding to give a different feel your mini albums.
