Spring has sprung on the Graphic 45 blog today! We are delighted to share Jenn DuBell‘s Flower Market 12-Month Folio Album. This beautiful floral album is filled with tags, tuck spots, and journaling cards. Enjoy Jenn’s video tour and tutorial and learn how to create your own scrapbook album from scratch.
“Hello Everyone!
Today I am excited to share with you my latest Brand Ambassador project featuring the beautiful Flower Market collection! For this #G45Feature, I have made a 5 ½” X 7 ½” X 3” album that houses 12 folios. One 4-page folio for each of the twelve months! I have included a tutorial on how to create the folios as well as a walkthrough of my finished album. The cover of this album was created using the “lay flat” method by Tamra Merrill. Here you will find the tutorial for that method.
Each 4-page folio has a small flip-out, a side pocket with inserts, and a photo matte page on the back as shown below.
To create 12 folio bases
Kraft cardstock
12 – 7”X12”
Score each at 5 & 10 lengthwise. Fold in at the 10” scoreline to create an inside pocket.
6- 4 ⅞”X8
Score each at ½” on both sides lengthwise.
6- 1”X7”
Score down the middle at ½” and miter corners. These are hinges that will attach each set of two folios together.
6 – 1”X7”
Score all at ⅜” Miter corners of the long side only. These are “L” hinges for the album spine that you will attach your folios to in the album.
6 – 3 ¾”X4 ¼”
Score at ½” on 4 ¼” side
6 – 4 ¾”X3 ¼”
Score at ½” on 4 ¾” side
These will be the hinged flip-outs for each folio
110lb. Ivory Cardstock
12 – 2 ⅜”X4 ½”
These are for matting the tags that are cut from the paper
Regular Ivory Cardstock
12 – 4 ¾”X6 ¾”
Folio cover mattes
12 – 4”X4 ½”
Folio cover flower focal mattes
Coordinating Colored Cardstocks (various)
12 – 5 ¼”X7” – Scored at 3 ½” on 7” side
Calendar inserts
This project is large and utilizes all of the available pieces in this collection along with some cardstocks from my stash as well.
Each of the six hinges on the spine holds two connected folios with a pocket in between.
As seen in the walkthrough of my finished album, it is very chunky when complete.
The inside front cover has a pocket that contains a bi-fold card insert and the back inside cover has a pocket that contains a photo matte. Both of these inserts use color-coordinated cardstock and the G45 Flower market Journaling cards.
For the cover, I used a full chipboard background piece that resembles a gate. This was combined with pieces from the ephemera assortment, a fussy cut quote, and a journaling card lifted with a piece of wrapped chipboard for dimension. A large resin rose in pink was added accented with white pearl wax.
The spine was done using the chipboard collection. A hanging charm was created and added.

I took the time to watch the entire video tutorial…lots of wonderful construction tips in the narrative. I really appreciate all the still photos on this Blog…I can see all the lovely details. This is such a lovely paper collection, but I would have like to have a 2nd designer sheet for every month. Lovely project!
