Hello, crafters! It’s Jennifer on the blog today, sharing a mini album I created using the 6×6 tab album and leftover "Sunshine on My Mind" paper from Graphic 45. This charming tab album offers plenty of space for photos, journaling, and capturing those delightful summer moments.
First, I meticulously traced, cut, and dressed each chipboard piece with beautiful paper from the collection. Then, I refined the edges with an X-Acto knife for a crisp finish and added a touch of black ink to the sides, giving the pieces a polished look.
On the back side of the front cover, I crafted a 6×3 piece of black cardstock, adding a touch of character by tearing a small section from the edge. I glued the bottom and sides to create a stylish pocket. Next, I adorned the front with vibrant paper, again securing just the sides and bottom for a second pocket. To complete the look, I tucked in some charming tags into both pockets, adding an extra layer of delight. On the opposite side, I created a photo mat and added lovely embellishments to enhance its charm.
On the back side of the first tab, I cut a 5×3 piece of black cardstock and scored it at the 1/2 inch mark on the 5-inch side, attaching it to the chipboard to create a flap. Next, I embellished the flap with paper and die cuts from the collection. To finish it off, I added an envelope I made and tucked in a few tags for added charm. For the front of the second tab, I crafted a pocket and tucked in some tags and papers for plenty of photo opportunities.
On the back of the second tab, I added a photo mat and embellished it die cuts. On the opposite side, I created a diagonal pocket, embellished and tucked in even more tags for extra flair.
Using a chipboard frame, I glued the sides and bottom to secure a place for a future picture and adorned the frame with embellishments. On the opposite side, I added another photo mat, enhancing it with paper and die cuts from the collection.
This mini album is one of my favorites! I adore the simple yet detailed pages that provide so many opportunities to capture those special summer moments. I hope you feel inspired to create your own charming summer mini album! ~ Jennifer
