BUTTERFLY KISSES WALLET STYLE MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a beautiful wallet shaped mini album for spring photos. It's filled with fun little flaps, fold-outs, pockets, and the super cute Butterfly Kisses Collection. It would be perfect for pictures of spring, family, and friends, AND ... it would make a wonderful gift idea!

The wallet design is one of Lori Whitlock's cutting files called Wallet Mini Album (link below). I used lily white card stock for the base and covered the different sections in pretty pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad.

On the cover, I used the stripe print called Rainbow's End and a pretty floral paper called Garden Party. I punched the 3" scalloped circle out of lily white and the 2.5" circle out of the Color-fetti polka dot. Then, I added the adorable Ladybug Garden Doodle-pops on top. That little pink ladybug is precious! Next, I added the title (also from the Color-fetti print), then glued tiny flat magnets underneath to secure the flap.

Here's what the wallet looks like opened up. It's unfolds into 3 sections. On the top section, I added the "Love You" die cut from the Chit Chat and 2 beautiful butterflies from the Odds & Ends. Then, a few enamel hearts from the Hearts A-Flutter shape sprinkles! 💕

The center section has two tri-folds that open to the left and the right. I covered both in the bubblegum floral paper called Butterfly Kisses, then added a white mat on top. I decorated with lots of cute die cuts from the Odds & Ends and a few enamel Butterfly Kisses shaped sprinkles. 

When you open those, each one has 6 little sections (3 on the front and 3 on the back). I covered them in pretty patterns and added some sweet 3x4 cards. Isn't that flower cart adorable?!

In the center, there's a 4x6 inch section where I added the "Love this" journaling card. It's a perfect spot to document notes, a cute story, dates, an event, etc.

On the right, the "bugs and kisses" card is from the 6x8 paper pad. Love it, the pretty flowers, and this cute collection so much! 

The bottom section has 2 little pockets that I tucked some adorable Odds & Ends die cut pieces into. You could add journaling notes to the back side of these, or ... use the pockets for small photos or memorabilia. 

I love the way this wallet shaped mini album looks with the cute Butterfly Kisses Collection! I also made one with the Berry Sweet Collection and the Hey Pumpkin Collection. Be sure to check those out for more ideas.

I hope this project inspires you to make something beautiful with the Butterfly Kisses Collection. Its pretty flowers, rainbow of colors, butterflies, and cute embellishments are ahh-mazing! 😊

BUTTERFLY KISSES SPRING MINI ALBUM | with Inessa

Today I’m sharing the sweetest little spring mini album using the beautiful Butterfly Kisses collection! This collection is absolutely perfect for documenting all those happy spring memories, and I decided to fill mine with favorite photos of my family and, of course, our adorable pup Paisley.
For the base of my project, I used a metal die cut set with decorative oval shapes that measure approximately 4x5 inches. After cutting all of my pages, I simply punched two holes along the sides and bound everything together using two ring binders from my stash. I love how easy and customizable this style of mini album is!

To create the pages, I used the 6x8 paper pad to die cut the ovals. For the front cover, I chose the Butterfly Kisses color-fetti paper from the 12x12 collection pack because I wanted a sturdier cover with extra thickness. I already had some leftover paper from a previous project, which made it the perfect choice! I also doubled up the back page to give the album a nice substantial feel.

For the cover design, I added the adorable cup of cheer doodle pop and layered stickers below and directly onto the cup for extra detail and dimension. To finish it off, I tied on ribbon and a tassel for even more texture and fun. I just love the playful look it adds!

Inside the album, I used one of the metal dies to cut out my photo on the first page and then decorated it with cardstock stickers. As you flip through the album, you’ll see a variety of embellishments including cardstock stickers, icons, mini icons, shape sprinkles, bits & pieces, odds & ends, and a few more doodle pops sprinkled throughout the pages. Towards the end of the album, I also added a couple of puffy word stickers for extra texture and detail. 

I truly love how this little album turned out, and I hope it inspires you to create something special with your own spring memories! This would make such a thoughtful handmade gift for your mom, grandma, or a friend. It would also be perfect for documenting birthdays, Mother’s Day, or any meaningful occasion worth remembering.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, friends. I hope you have a wonderful day and feel inspired to create a fun little treasure of your own! Happy crafting 💕
