Farmhouse Policy Envelope Album

Tutorial by Paul Ford

 

“Welcome to my next Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador Project. This time I am tackling the new staple – a Policy Envelope Album. It has 6 envelope pages as well as a pack of the 8 regular tags. In this video I will show you how I managed to get an edge to edge look by doing a bit of surgery with the magnet holders 😂 I can remember using Farmhouse many years ago and loved it so am so pleased to see it back again as the new Keepsake collection. I have decorated this in the basic form but you can always add extra pockets and flaps to the album.” ~Paul

Helpful Tips from Paul’s Project

 Tip #1: Let the album do the hard work

Pre-made albums are perfect when you want to create something special without measuring and building every page from scratch. The Policy Envelope Album gives you structure, pockets, and interactive space right away—just add your papers and embellishments.

Tip #2: Go for that edge-to-edge “finished” look

Paul shares a clever way to get a smooth, polished look by adjusting the album’s magnet holders (yes… a little “album surgery” 😂). The result feels seamless and professionally finished—like a quilt tucked perfectly onto a country bed.

Tip #3: Mix bold focal images with warm textures

This Farmhouse Keepsake project shines because it blends strong focal pieces (like the farm animals and signage) with softer country patterns and warm, weathered tones. Don’t be afraid to layer big and small elements together for that cozy, collected feel.

Tip #4: Keep it simple—or add more later

Paul decorated the album in a beautifully “basic form,” which makes it great for beginners. But the best part? You can always come back and add extra flaps, pockets, photo mats, or journaling spots when inspiration strikes.
