SNOW MUCH FUN ACCORDION MINI ALBUM | with Kathy

I'm back with another fun project featuring the Snow Much Fun collection.  I just adore the colors in this collection, they really are my favorites, and those cute little snow men... I can't even.  I decided to make an accordion mini album this time... it's perfect to document a fun winter trip or even just a snow day!  Take a peek...

To start, I made my covers.  I cut two pieces of chipboard, each 3.25" x 4.75".  I covered them with the plaid side of the Ice Crystals paper.  To decorate my front cover I added a die cut rectangle of the 6x6 version of the All Bundled Up paper.  I cut some snow mounds from the snowflake side of the frosted friends paper.  I added a tree from the Icon Stickers, and the cutest little Snow Much Love Shaker-pop.  The sentiment is from the Chit Chat pieces.

To create my inside pages, I cut two pieces of pistachio floral/graph petite prints... one 4.5" x 12" and the second 4.5" x 9".  I scored each at 3", 6" and on the longer strip at 9".  I overlapped the two strips (one section) and glued them together.  I  then accordion folded the entire strip and attached the pages to the inside of the 2 covers.  I die cut some stitched rectangles from the 6x6 pad and added to the inside pages.  I then set out to decorate them all using Icon Stickers, Shaped Sprinkles, This & That Stickers, Odds & Ends, Bits & Pieces and some Chit Chats.  Take a peek....

I even used a second Doodle-pop on one of my pages!  I'm so proud of myself lol.

I love the little notebook pages from the Bits & Pieces, they're the perfect place to add a little journaling.

Here are the pages all spread out.  I added a ribbon from my stash to tie the album all together.

 I'll be back soon with another Snow Much Fun Project.  In the meantime, if you've created anything using the collection, be sure to tag @doodlebugdesign on socials.  We love to see your creations.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek.

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!
