Hello Crafty Friends!!
It’s Conny here today, and I’m so excited to share this adorable 4” x 5” mini album using the Bee Happy Collection.
This little album is packed with interactive flip pages, photo spots, and room for all kinds of embellishments! I also have a process video available for you to watch LINK. However, before you hit play, grab your cutting guide below and follow along!
Assembly Instructions.
Wrap the Chipboard: Center the chipboard pieces onto the back of the 8850 Sewing Bee paper, leaving about 3/4” around the edges and 1/8” between the spine and cover pieces. I love using my cover guide tool for perfect spacing. Miter the Corners and add double-sided tape along the edges. Fold and wrap the paper inwards to cover the chipboard. Add the Acetate before adding the inside cover, and adhere the 3” x 4” acetate piece to the bottom half of the front cover.
Cover the Inside: Use the second piece of 8850 Sewing Bee paper (4” x 9 5/8”) to neatly cover the inside of the chipboard.
Creating the Pages:
• Front Page:
• Black cardstock 10” x 4”, scored at 4” and 5”
• Back Pages (2):
• Black cardstock 10 1/2” x 4”, scored at 5” and 5 1/2”
Add double-sided tape to the spines of the pages and adhere each one into the mini album, starting 1/4” from the inside edge of the cover, stacking them to create a cascading effect. This will leave 1/4” on both the top and bottom of the spine area.
Matting the Pages:
• Patterned paper cut to 3 3/4” x 4 1/4”
• Patterned paper cut to 3 3/4” x 4 3/4”
Photo Mats & Embellishments:
Here’s the fun part: make it your own! Add photo mats in a variety of sizes based on your pictures, or add your photos directly to the pages. Then go wild with embellishments like: Puffy Stickers, Ephemera, Cardstock Stickers, Die Cuts, and more!
TIP: Don’t be afraid to layer and create interactive elements like flips and pockets, it’s what makes these minis so fun!
I hope you love creating this sweet little album as much as I did. Make sure to tag me if you share your project, I’d love to see your take on it!
Happy Crafting,Xo, Conny!
