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.  

3. To create the pockets, I fold the right and left tabs inward and glued them against the back, leaving the tab on the left free. 
4. To assemble the front cover, I adhered the remaining tab on the first pocket just to the left of the score line on the cover piece.  This score line will eventually be the album’s binding.   
5. Next I continued to adhered each of the pocket’s tabs to the back of the page in front of it.


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.

 

Once I finished assembling the album, I decorated it and added my photos. 

I hope enjoyed this project made with Lori’s 4×6 Horizontal Pocket Mini Album Tabbed Pages File (SVG, Silhouette). It’s not only great for your own photos, but … it also makes a wonderful gift idea. Happy scrapping! 😊

Mason Jar Box

Hello! I love when my 2 worlds collide, canning and scrapbooking. I recently canned some green stuff (jalapeno mustard for pretzels) and I always love to be able to gift it and make it look cute. I recently came across these Mason Jar Box Half Pint (SVG, Silhouette). I decided to make a few of these for my yummy green stuff.

Mason Jar Box Half Pint

 

First I cut all my pieces and I did add a little piece of acetate behind the window.

I added my pattern paper to the box after I added the acetate to the inside of the window. I added score tape to the 2 flaps to assemble the box.

I folded in the 2nd large flap 1st.

The I folded in my 2 smaller flaps to make the box complete.

I then added my pattern paper to the lid portion. Make sure the curved side of the thin strips faces the outside edge. I also added score tape to the corner flaps.

Hopefully you will be able to gift some home made goods with this cute box. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

Box Card Flower Trunk Tutorial

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing an assembly tutorial for the Box Card Flower Trunk (SVG, Silhouette).  I used papers from the Day and Life collection by Echo Park Paper Co. I also cut a few extra flowers to add to my card to give it a fuller look.

The body of the box card is in two parts that will be glued together. The tabs are all folded in a valley fold. First, I inked the edges of all of my pieces then glued the decorative panels to the outside of my trunk. I then assembled the flowers. All of the flowers have two layers. I then glued the flowers to the two inserts. Three of the flowers are on the front insert and two flowers on the back insert.

For the trunk I added glue to both tabs and made sure to line up the holes on both pieces so that the brads would be fit. I then glued the decorative corner pieces to the trunk and added the brads to all of the holes. Enamel dots would also be cute on the holes if you can’t find brads. After I had all the brads in place I glued the back decorative panel into the trunk.

Next, I folded the tabs on the inserts in a valley fold and added glue to the back of the tabs. Securing one tab at a time I lined up the edge of the tab with the top of the trunk and held it in place while the glue set. I was also careful to not glue the tab over the back of the brad. I repeat the process for the other side of the insert. With both tabs glued I fold the card flat to check that it will fold flat then repeat the process for the second insert.

With both inserts secure I glued the last flower and stem to the front of the trunk.  I then embellished my trunk with the additional flowers and two butterflies I fussy cut from the collection.

This card is so pretty and has several sentiments for the back of the card that are included in the file.

Thanks for stopping by today!
