4×4 Accordion Envelope Mini Album

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.

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!

Valentine’s Day Box Card with Traci

Hi guys! Traci here and today I have a really cute Valentine’s Day project to share with you! I made a card using one of Lori’s fun cutting files called Box Card Shopping Bag Valentine Dog (SVG, Silhouette). It’s a gift bag with a sweet dog, flowers, and hearts popping out the top. I changed up the colors so the pup looks like my son’s little furball, Tarot. I love the way it turned out and I love this file!

There is a little space in between the layers to slide a love note, a fun photo, a gift card, or money. There’s no bottom to the card, so you would need to add a little tape to keep it in place.

Here is what the cutting file looks like. You can make your dog any color you like!

Such a fun and simple project to create for someone you love. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner … time to get crafty with another one of Lori Whitlock’s wonderful cutting files!
