SNOW MUCH FUN TRIFOLD MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing a trifold mini album using the Snow Much Fun Collection by Doodlebug. No chipboard is needed for this project, which makes it quick, fun, and perfect for using up your patterned papers -plus, it holds lots of photos!


Let's get started! I began by cutting the Snow Much Fun patterned paper.  Cut to: 8” x 12”
Score at: 4” and 8” on the 12” side. This created a simple trifold base.

For my album, I used the blue polka-dot side for the outside cover, and the other side for the inside. From the Snow Much Fun coordinating cardstock pack (bubble blue) I cut three mattings ¾” x 7 ¾”.  I Adhered one mat to each inside panel of the trifold, leaving an even border all the way around. To create the extra flip in the center, I started with Wintery Woods paper Cut to: 7 ½” x 7”, Score at: 3 ½” on the 7” side.

This created a flip page that opens to the left. Before adhering it to the center mat, I added a strip of ribbon/trim underneath so the album can tie closed. I made sure the snowflake side with the trees is facing outward when attaching it.





On the left inside panel:
I added a strip of the scalloped border sticker along the mat.
From the 6x6 paper pad, I trimmed several small tags (I used six), and I tied each tag with white twine.
Next I embellished the tags using Mini Icons, Puffy Icons, and Cardstock Stickers. These added texture without making the album bulky.



On the front of the center flip page:
I added the “Just Chilling” sticker from the 12x12 cardstock sticker sheet. I embellished with the Snow Much Love Shaker Pop - so cute!

Inside this flip section, I added four 3” x 3” photo mats, creating small clusters at the top for decoration.
On the right panel, I created two flip-up cards.  To do this I cut two pieces: 3” x 6”, scored at: 3” on the 6” side. These flips allow space for a total of four 3” x 3” photos.

I embellished lightly using: Mini stickers, Puffy icons
and Small embellishments. Since this album doesn’t have a spine, keeping layers minimal helps it close nicely.I also added the remaining scalloped border sticker underneath these flip pages.

On the outside (polka dot side) I added ribbon o tie the album closed.
I layered the center decoration using white cardstock: approx. 7 ½” x 3 ½” and Wintery Woods paper,  approx. 3 ¼” x 7 ¼”.

I finished the cover with jewels from the Snow Much Fun collection. A penguin sticker from the 12x12 sticker sheet, and the adorable Sweet Snowbirds Doodle-Pop.

This mini album can easily hold 10 photos, and you can always add more flip pages if you’d like.
Best of all, no chipboard, no wrapping, no binding required. Just paper, stickers, glue, and a scoring board.

I hope this project inspires you to create a quick and cozy winter mini album using your Snow Much Fun supplies. Thank you so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!

SNOW MUCH FUN GATEFOLD MINI ALBUM | with Jen

Doodlebug's Snow Much Fun collection is in my top five all time favorites so I was thrilled to get the chance to work with it again!  For my project today I've made a gatefold mini album. The overall album measures 8" x 8" with a 1 1/4" spine. I used the Let It Snow Heavy acetate to do a faux belly band closure. 

Inside, the right and left inside covers have stacked pockets. I used leftover acetate as photo mat inserts. The pockets are build on flap with more photo space underneath. 


In the center is a photo flap and lots of yetis! On the back is an acetate pocket. I matted inside the pocket with one of the coordinating solids from the collection to really make the snowflakes on the acetate stand out.


The next page has a 5" x 7" photo mat. On the back is a large belly band with a waterfall using the 3x4 cut apart elements from the collection. 


Next we have an acetate pocket flap. The pocket opens from the back side of the flap and there are a couple of small photo mats there as well. 


The last flap has a large pocket and I used the tag cut apart paper to make a smaller pocket on top. The back of this flap has a couple of photo spots and more of the cute Odds and Ends. 


The back of the album has an acetate belly band and two 5" x 7" trifold inserts. I managed to use almost the entire This and That Sticker Sheet throughout this project. 


And of course I have a full video walkthrough and tutorial over on my YouTube channel!


Have a great day!

SNOW MUCH FUN CHIPBOARD HOUSE ALBUM | With Traci

Hello crafters! Traci here and with the winter season upon us, I created a super fun mini album that's perfect for your chilly memories. It's a cute house shaped scrapbook made with Doodlebug's Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and the adorable Snow Much Fun Collection!

I just love this mini. The 5x7 inch chipboard album comes as a blank canvas that features two covers, a roof top piece, four dividers, and four pages. You could use any collection to decorate this but the winter one makes it look like a cute and cozy snow covered home that's great for photos of family, friends, everyday moments, and snow filled shenanigans!


For the cover, I chose a few pattern papers and solid card stock in pistachio, lilac, and sea glass. I cut the different shapes out with the Home Sweet Home Doodle cuts. This set includes 18 metal dies that are perfect for creating the intricate details like window frames, doors, flower boxes, potted plants, and more.

To decorate it, I used some mini icon stickers. They were the perfect size so I added the snowman, penguin, and adorable children peeking through the windows. Next came some shape sprinkles. I added a few snowflakes (Snow Colorful) to the roof, a heart over the front door (I Love Snow) and a lilac enamel dot for the doorknob. Then for a little sparkle ... I added some mini jewels along the scalloped roofline and glitter to the snow! 

Inside, I covered the chipboard pages in pretty 6x6 and 12x12 pattern papers. On the layout above, I used the Snow Happy Together snowflake print in the background and made a journaling card from the 12x12 Cold Streak paper. Then, some cute Odds & Ends die cut pieces finished it off. 

Here, I used with the other side of the Snow Happy Together paper. It's so cute filled with winter animals like polar bears, bunny rabbits, penguins, and seals. Next, I made a flippie with space inside for 2 photos. I used a sweet 4x4 card from the Spot of Snow paper and tucked a few die cuts behind it. 

What a great page for pictures of playing in the snow! In the background, I added the Winter Wonderland print filled with tiny snowflakes. Then I made 2 photo mats out of the pretty plaid titled All Bundled Up. The title is a sticker from the This & That sheet, the snowflakes are from the Snow Colorful shape sprinkles, and the snowmen and penguin are from the Odds & Ends.

Ooooo, I love this gingham print called Ice Crystals. It's so beautiful and looks great with the die cuts from the Bits & Pieces! I chose a scalloped circle and cut it in two, placing one half on either side of the photo mat. Then, I added the snowflakes on top.

Isn't this page pretty? The lilac card stock is such a great color and makes the perfect background for the snowflake shape sprinkles and the cute snowmobile die cut. The "winter" tab and the scalloped border are stickers from the This & That sheet.

This collection has a great variety of embellishments and pattern papers to highlight your photos. You could use them for a ski vacation, the beautiful mountains, tubing, sledding, building a snowman, an Alaskan cruise, your snow covered home, and family memories. And ... there are so many! The Odds & Ends alone have 107 pieces ... not to mention the Chit Chat, Bits & Pieces, and all the fabulous stickers! I love all the cute choices!

 

This page started with a playful polka dot print called Snow Day. Then I added a photo mat, some Odds & Ends, and lots of glimmering mini jewels. Love, love, love the sparkle!  

I hope my House Shaped Winter Mini Album gives you a little seasonal inspiration. The Home Sweet Home Chipboard Album and Snow Much Fun Collection are both SNOW MUCH FUN! It's cool colors, cute images, and pretty patterns are perfect for your winter craft projects. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy scrappin'!
