4×6 Horizontal Tabbed Mini Album Tutorial

Hi friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun vacation mini album I made with Lori’s cutting file called 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages (SVG, Silhouette). It’s filled with pretty shaped pocket pages and tabbed cards that are perfect for saving your favorite memories. I added pictures of our trip to Hawaii and it made the cutest little keepsake! 🌴🦩🌞

 

I decorated the album with the Doodlebug Design, Fun in the Sun Collection, but … this file could be made with ANY theme for photos of a holiday, family, friends,
new baby, school, your pet, or a season. It’s 4×6 inches and has a flap that folds over onto the front cover to keep the pages secure.  

 

Above, you can see there are 6 pocket pages with a tabbed card / photo mat tucked inside each one. Let’s take a quick look inside, then I’ll share the tutorial …

 

The front of the pockets have a cute cut-out shape and plenty of space for embellishments. And inside, the tabbed card can hold 2 photos (front and back) or be used for journaling.

 

The back side of the pocket pages are blank so I added more photo mats and cute tropical embellies!

 

This mini is so fun! I love the interactive pages in this album. To see more photos and all of the pages in this project, visit my blog here.

Now, for the tutorial …

1.  I cut out all of the pieces, including 6 pages, the covers, 6 tabbed photos mats, pattern paper for the pockets and a binding piece.    

2.  I adhered the patterns to the front of each pocket, and the covers,  before gluing everything together.  

6. The pockets created a stack of pages to the left of the spine.  At this point, I also adhered the back cover piece to the tab on the front cover.  

7.  To adhere the last pocket to the back cover, I used the binding piece that comes in the cut file to adhere them together.
