Hello and welcome to the Crate Paper Blog today. It’s me Sandra from the Crate Paper Design Team and I’m sharing a blank mini album, three card inserts and a shaker gift tag that I made with the cute Snowflake Collection.
To make the mini album, I cut a paper (size 6” x 12”) for the mini album cover and scored the paper at 1.5”, 5.5”, 6.5” and 10.5”. I also cut a middle piece for the inside (size 6” x 2.5”). This middle piece will hold the card inserts.
The Book Binding Guide from We R Memory Keepers was really helpful for creating a decorated spine. I punched holes and added a stitched pattern onto the outside spine with colored strings. As a nice detail, I added three sequins for decoration.
For the closure of the mini album I used two eyelets and baker’s twine.
Furthermore, I added three strings onto the middle paper piece. Then I glued the paper onto the inside of the spine. Each string can hold a card or mini album insert.
In addition to the card inserts, I also made a shaker tag with acetate foil. And I used the EK Tool Confetti Punch to punch confetti from a gold glitter paper. I sewed along the edges of the shaker tag with my sewing machine.
Finally, I made three cute card inserts. These can be used as Xmas cards or mini album inserts. You can easily add photos and journaling onto the inside of these card inserts.
Last but not least, I hope you like my booklet inspiration with the awesome Snowflake Collection. Wishing you a wonderful and creative day!
Yours,
Sandra
