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!

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!
