Princess Mini Album

By Kavitha

“Hello, dear G45ers!!

I am excited to share my #Club45LeveledUp project for this month. For my assignment I decided to try the super cute “One-page mini album” from Club45 – Vol 8 . I upscaled the size to 5 by 7 inches (the original one was 4 by 5 inches), so it's no more a one-page mini album, I have used three sheets of cardstock. I have also made a belly band for closure instead of using ribbons.

Here are the Measurements:

One 10 by 10 cardstock, score it 3 inches horizontally and at 5 and 5 ¼ vertically

One 5 ⅝ by 10 inches cardstock, score at 3 inches horizontally and at ½ and ⅞ vertically

Using the half an inch fold stick the second piece of cardstock to the first one

For the bottom flaps take three pieces of cardstock measuring 5 by 6 inches, score at ½ inch at 6 inch side and attach them to the base as shown.

Decorate them with pattern papers on all sides. Add some pockets and journal cards as you like

For the top flap, I used some journaling cards and matted them on the cardstock.

To create the belly band, take a 2 by 12 inches cardstock, wrap it around the album and hold it together in such a way that it is not too tight or too loose so that I can be easily detachable and also holds the album well. Apply glue where both overlaps and hold it for a min for it to dry.

Take a 1 ⅞ by 12-inch pattern paper and wrap it around the band. To decorate the band I have used fussy cut elements from the paper pad, flowers, and chipboard pieces. Die-cut a circle , stick it in the center and arrange all the elements.
