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! 😊

TINSEL TIME MANTLE FOLIO SCRAPBOOK | with Jen

Christmas is almost here! With kids and the excitement of what Santa will bring what better way to document the chaos than a mini album? I created this Here Comes Santa folio as both a folio and a decor piece! I used the Tinsel Time Mantle SVG File to make a big version of what has got to be the cutest Odds and Ends piece ever for the front of my album. I used the Puffy Icons for the little Christmas village on the mantle. I used Glitter Sprinkles for the garland and the stockings from the Odds and Ends pack.

I made the fireplace area into a simple shaker. The album is constructed so that it will stand so it can double as a decor piece during the holidays as well.

Inside there is a section for your photos of decorating the tree and your visit with Santa.

In the rest of the folio there is lots of room for pictures and a couple of pockets for other memorabilia you may want to save.

The top of the folio has flip book style pages that will hold cropped 4x6 pictures.

Underneath there is a mini layout page for a cute photo in front of the tree on Christmas Eve.

A full, free tutorial on how to make this entire project is linked below.

Have a great day!

TINSEL TIME FOLIO ALBUM | with Conny

Hey Crafty Friends, it's Conny here, sharing a lovely folio album made with the new Tinsel Time Collection. For this folio, I wanted to create spaces for all the Christmas photos we take during this festive season. If you don't have a chipboard, don't worry—you can still recreate this album!

Let's get started. I began with five pieces of chipboard to create a solid structure. From left to right, the sizes of the chipboard pieces are 3.5" x 8.5", 1" x 8.5", 5.5" x 8.5", 1" x 8.5", and 4.5" x 8.5". The sizes of the pieces used to wrap the chipboard are also in the same left-to-right order: 10 1/8" x 4 3/4", 10 1/8" x 2.5", 10 1/8" x 7 1/8", 10 1/8" x 2.5", and 6 1/8" x 10 1/8". You can refer to the picture below.

To cover the chipboard, you will need a patterned piece measuring 8.5" x 12". I used the Dashing Deer paper for this; however, you'll also need an additional piece measuring 8.5" x 5" from the Tree Trimmings collection. Start by adhering the longest piece from left to right, then place the shorter one on top right of the album (To cover inside chipboard).

Now, let's move on to the first folded page in the album, which is attached to the first spine ( 1" x 8.5"). I trimmed the Snow Bright paper to 10.5" x 8". Score this piece at 5/8", 4", and 7 1/4". Here, I added various bits and pieces, including mini icon stickers. I also created a little pocket for tags using the "Admit One" North Pole ticket and a few journaling cards.

For the pages in the middle between the spines, cut two pieces measuring 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" and score each one at 1/2" on the 5 1/2" side. Place one on the left and one on the right. Inside, I added another page measuring 5" x 8 1/4" and scored it at 1/2" on the 5" side. I adhered this page to the next, following the left page. After matting with coordinated cardstock sized at 8 1/4" x 4 1/2", I added more journaling cards and various embellishments from the collection.

On the right base, I created six flat waterfall pages using white cardstock cut to 3 1/2" x 5". Score on the longest side at 1/2" and adhere one after the other. I matted these pages with paper from the 6" x 6" paper pad and used journaling cards and puffy stickers, leaving the back of each card open for 3" x 4" photos. You can embellish even more if you like!

Happy crafting! Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all my creative ways of making projects. Xo Conny!

HEY PUMPKIN HOUSE SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Jen

One of my favorite types of projects to make is shaped mini albums. Doodlebug SVG files make it so easy to make fun, one of a kind projects!

Today I have a shaped pocket folio using the Hey Pumpkin collection and the Halloween Candy House SVG file, available in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  The front is decorated with Puffy Icons and a couple of Icon stickers. I also used some of the Halloween Night Shape Sprinkles

I modified the file a little and then cut it from chipboard. I split the front porch into a separate piece to make this a tri-fold folio.

Inside I have a 4x6 tri fold flap on the left side. I matted the inside with white cardstock for photo mats and some of the Mini Icon stickers.

In the middle is an accordion pocket with three sections. This will hold plain 4x6 photos or matted 4x6 photos.

For my accordion pocket I made inserts that will all hold 4x6 photos. I added white photo mats and mini icon stickers to these as well.

FUN AT THE PARK SCRAP FOLIO | with Jen

I am all about Disney. And when it's a Disney inspired paper collection AND it's Doodlebug?!? I was first in line to grab this collection! Today I have a fun 10x10 gatefold folio featuring Doodlebug Fun at the Park. This collection has so many great elements it was hard deciding which ones to use!

On the front I made a large belly band to keep the folio closed. I decorated it with Doodle Pops and Shaker Pops, Chit Chat, and Icons and Mini Icons.

When you open the folio there are tons of spots for pictures and journaling.

I added a couple of waterfalls with magnetic closures for more picture space.

And pockets and tuck spots for more photos and journaling spots.

In the back center I created a 10x10 layout to showcase either a 4x6 or 5x7 picture .

My video walkthrough and full tutorial can be found here.  Have a great day!

SNOW MUCH FUN WINTER FOLIO | with Jen

Is the weather outside frightful? Then I have a perfect project for you stay at home in your nice, toasty craft room while it snows! This is my Layered Folio using the Snow Much Fun collection. This little folio has lots of pockets for lots of pictures and keepsakes from a fun, snowy day. I used the Let It Snow Heavy Acetate for my closure on the folio and a fun Doodle Pop to hide the magnet that holds it closed.

The front flap also serves as a pocket with a cute insert that will hold 4-6 pictures.

The next layer has diagonal pockets for more pictures and journaling cards and is the same top and bottom.

The back has double belly bands with small inserts and mirrors itself top and bottom.

The next layer has snowflake acetate flaps with photo mats.

And the bottom layer has a large flap on top of a large pocket.

On the other side we have a series of flaps sized to fit the journaling cut-aparts from the Cold Streak cardstock.

The overall construction of the folio takes about an hour. Video walkthrough and full tutorial can be found here.
