HEY PUMPKIN ACCORDION MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hey everyone, It's Conny! I'm excited to share a beautiful accordion mini album showcasing the stunning Hey Pumpkin Collection. This album was a joy to create, offering the perfect canvas for adding photos on both sides. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to design flip-up pages, adding an extra element of surprise and creativity to the album.


Let's get started! I started with two chipboard pieces measuring 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". I used black cardstock measuring 8" x 6 1/8" to cover them.  I placed the chipboard in the middle using a book cover guide, leaving about 3/4" all around and added adhesive all around the 3/4" and folded those into the chipboard.

Next, I created the accordion pages. I used 110 lb black cardstock for the pages, measuring 6 1/2" x 11",  scored at 4 1/2" x 9". The ends that measure 2" between the 9" x11" were adhered to the chipboard covers. After adding the hinges to the chipboard,  I joined the pages, creating a zigzag! If you want to create a pocket out of the pages you are joining, that is also an option. Make sure when matting the pages, the pocket is facing up. The black cardstock papers throughout the album measure 4 3/8" x 6 3/8". Next I chose my favorite papers from the collection.
The white photo matts were cut in three sizes: 3 3/4" x 4 1/4", 6" x 3 3/4", and 8 1/2" x 4 3/4".  I scored the longest side of the 8 1/2" x 4 3/4" mat at 4 1/4" to create flip-up pages.  I embellished them with my favorite pieces from the Bits and Pieces, Odds & Ends, chit chat, and more.
