A Christmas Mini Album Packed with Pockets, Charm & Holiday Magic!

 

Hello, G45ers!

The holiday season is the perfect time to slow down, savor traditions, and preserve your most magical memories—and today we’re thrilled to share a project that does exactly that. Graphic 45 Grand Brand Ambassador Teresa Cruz aka Andor Violeta, has created a stunning Christmas mini album using our Deck the Halls paper collection.

This festive album is filled with cozy colors, nostalgic artwork, and clever interactive elements. And the best part? Teresa added an incredibly useful folder-style pocket inside the album—an easy, elegant way to increase storage for photos, journaling spots, and treasured holiday keepsakes.

In this post, you’ll enjoy a look inside the album, discover tips for elevating your own projects, and watch both the flip-through and step-by-step tutorial so you can recreate the folder pocket in your next handmade gift or keepsake.

 

Boost Your Album’s Capacity with This Folder Pocket DIY

By Teresa Cruz aka Andor Violeta

“Hi everyone!


Today i want to share a quick make inside my album that you can totally recreate in so many projects. I decorated my Square Tag & Pocket Wrap- Around Album and the beautiful Deck the Halls collection, and I decided to create a pocket using the useful Folder & Sentiment Dies pack, to create a folder pocket to add more space for journaling cards and photos.

 

Today I’m excited to share a quick little addition I made to my album — something you can easily recreate in so many different projects. I worked with the Square Tag & Pocket Wrap-Around Album and the gorgeous Deck the Halls collection, and decided to create an extra pocket using the super handy Folder & Sentiment Dies set. With these dies, I put together a folder-style pocket that adds even more space for journaling cards and photos, making the album both more functional and even more charming.

Let’s see the album, and the inside folder-style pocket!! And you can check the tutorial of this pocket and the flip through of this album at the end of this post!

TIP: Add Rub-Ons for Instant Detail

Rub-ons are an easy way to add layers of charm without the bulk. They’re thin, smooth, and blend effortlessly into your background papers.

Why we love them:

  • They add detail without covering your favorite patterned papers

  • They’re fast, no-dry-time embellishments

  • They bring a polished finish with minimal effort

Try them on tags, pockets, photo mats, and album covers for a quick touch of holiday magic.
