There are 13 new styles that work for all sorts of occasions throughout they year including birthday, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, Halloween, Fall, Christmas, and more. I have am working on a video tutorial that will hopefully be live tomorrow. These new files are all on sale 25% off all week long until next Monday at noon.

Hello friends! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a tutorial on how to make this fun envelope-style mini album! I love creating small scrapbooks so when I’m looking for a new idea, I know Lori will always have something awesome. For this project, I used her SVG cutting file called Silhouette, 4×4 Accordion Envelope Mini Album
I wanted this to have a dog theme so I chose the super cute Echo Park Pets Collection (also designed by Lori). I used the 6×6 paper pad, both sets of die-cut ephemera, and the 12×12 sticker sheet.
Here’s what this accordion-style mini looks like opened up. On one side there are envelopes where you can store photos and small memorabilia. On the back side, there are mats so you can add more pictures.
Here’s how I made it …
First, I cut out all of the pieces. There are 4 envelopes, 3 hinge pieces, 2 covers, and the pattern papers for embellishing. I used cardstock for everything except the cover pieces. I used chipboard for those.
Now that everything was cut, I created each envelope by folding the 2 sides in and the bottom piece up. I added
double-sided adhesive to the bottom portion to seal everything together, then adhered the colorful embellishment piece to the flap.
Next, I attached the 4 envelopes to each other using the 2.25″ x 4″ hinge pieces to create a row. Be sure to leave about 1/8″ in between the envelopes so that there’s room for the fold.
Now, it’s time to add the cover pieces to the first and last envelopes. Again, leave a little space in between for the pages to bend.
Once all of the album’s base pieces are adhered together … fold it, making sure to alternate the direction of each page to create the accordion shape. Now, it’s time to embellish!
On the cover I layered the stripe, polka dot, navy blue print, and the 3×3 card on
top of each other. These are all from the 6×6 paper pad.
Inside for the envelope pages, I added cute stickers from the 12×12 sticker sheet and die cut
pieces from both packages of ephemera.
For the other side of the envelopes, I created photo mats for lots of cute puppy dog pictures. I added colorful pattern papers and more embellishments.
Lori has a great tutorial that shows you how to put everything together here:
This would make a great mini album for your pet’s photos or a sweet gift for
ANY pet parent. The Echo Park Pets Collection even has options for
cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, and rabbits!
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I hope you’ll try this cutting file and wonderful paper line for your next project. Have a great day!
I have reached an age where all of my friend’s children are getting married! It’s so fun to watch these kids I saw grow up and move on to this next stage. Last week I had a bridal shower… so I decided to make a fun Hexagon Pop-Up Card Wedding (SVG, Silhouette) for the bride. Take a peek….
I love that you can customize these cards in the wedding colors! I also added some glitter and enamel dots for some dimension. The sentiment is a sticker.
Such a fun card! Now off to make a few more for all the other weddings! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
Hello everyone! Marcia here today. I have an A2 card storage box tutorial to share with you today. This A2 Card Envelope Box (SVG, Silhouette) cut file can be found in Lori’s store along with many other varieties of boxes. I used some pretty pattern papers from Lori’s new Day In The Life collection as well as coordinating cardstock from my stash.
Let me show you how easy this box is to put together.
1. Choose your papers and cut out two box bottom pieces and two box top pieces. The cut file contains only one of each so be sure to cut everything twice. Adhere the panels to the cardstock base. Using cardstock for the base pieces will ensure a sturdy box.
2. Working with the bottom of the box first, adhere the two sides of the box together.
3. Turn the box upside-down and adhere the tabs to the box bottom. Then fold the last flap over the bottom and glue it down.
4. Now let’s work on the box top. Adhere the front to the back by gluing the rectangular piece with pattern paper over the same size rectangular piece with no pattern paper. Fold the sides in making sure the side with pattern paper is on the outside, tucking the tabs in. Adhere the sides and then the tabs.
5. Place the last rectangular pattern paper piece on the inside of the lid.
6. There are stamp cut file pieces that you can use to adorn your box making it look like a stamped envelope. I also placed a journal card on the front so I can use that space when gifting my box full of cards to someone. Or if it is just too pretty to give away, to write what kind of cards I have stored inside.
These boxes would be great for storing your Valentines too. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out Lori’s Store for more amazing cut files.
