Hidden Binding Mini Album House – Halloween Style!

Hi friends!

Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun Halloween Mini Album that’s in the shape of a not-so-scary little haunted house. I made it with a wonderful Lori Whitlock cutting file called Hidden Binding Mini Album House (SVG, Silhouette) and I just love it!

To start, I cut the base out of Bazzill card stock in raven black, then added some cute pattern paper and mini icon stickers from the Doodlebug Happy Haunting Collection. Lori’s file comes with 2 pretty flowers and a front door but, I added some stickers instead to keep with the Halloween theme.

The album uses a hidden binding technique to secure the pages. That allows
enough room in between for pop dots, stickers, die cuts, tags, twine, etc. And, it lays
perfectly flat when closed! You can watch the assembly tutorial for it over on Lori’s YouTube Channel here.

Inside, I wanted 4 pages that were super sturdy so I cut 8 pieces out of black card stock and adhered two back to back to make each of my 4 pages. But, you could create this album with just 4 single pages.

I covered each page in cute pattern papers, photo mats, then decorated with stickers. It’s “frightful & delightful”!

While I designed this as a haunted house, the file could be used for ANY theme just by changing the paper collection. You could decorate it for pictures of family/home, a dog house, fall, a summer beach house, a cabin in the woods, or a winter wonderland in the mountains. It’s so versatile!

On some of the pages, I added scalloped circular photo mats. To make these, I used a 3″ scallop circle punch and a 2.5″ circle punch.

This cute mini album would be great filled with Halloween photos of family, friends, the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, a party, a haunted house, a festival, a corn maze, awesome costumes, trick-or-treating, and loads of sweet treats!

This would also make an amazing gift idea for the holiday. Give it to a friend, teacher, babysitter, dog walker, or the hostess of a Halloween party.

Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too. I’ve made the flower, telephone, and the tag shape and I’ve loved them all. But she has even more, so be sure to check those out.

I hope you like my Halloween version of this house shaped mini album and it
inspires you to create one yourself. Until next time … happy scrappin’!
