How to Create a Mini Fold Out Album

The mini fold-out album below was created for The Stamping Shack using one of their digital images.  The tutorial is for another mini fold-out album that I made.  Both are made using this technique. ~ Sandy

First, gather your supplies:

• Letter size, manila office file folder.  I got mine from my office and we  probably purchased the folders at Walmart or Office Max.
• 6x6 Paper Pad.  For the "Why We Are Friends" album, I used Carta Bella's "Paris Girl" and for the one in these instructions, I used Carta Bella's "Beautiful Moments."
• Adhesives - ATG Gun or Tape Runner & Sticky Tape such as Red Tape, Sookwang or Scor-Tape
• Distress Ink, use a color to compliment your papers
• Assorted Ribbons and Tulle.   I also used a bit of Washi Tape
• Favorite Digital Image, optional
• Coloring Medium to color the image, I used my Copic Markers.
• Assorted Flowers.  I used small Bazzill paper flowers and two large print flowers from my stash that I tore apart to make several different flowers.
• Embellishments.  Brads, charms (butterfly), corsage stick pins, rhinestones, word stickers (Authentique) etc.

 Tools:

• Trimmer
• Bone Folder
• Scissors
• Foam Inker
• Die Cutter and Dies (Optional)
• Ruler
• Corner Rounder (For the Tags)
• Hole Punch  (For the Tags) 
• Circle Punch (For Cutting Notches in the Pockets)

The steps below are photos only.  I do not have written instructions for this project.

 

 

 

I'm still adding embellishments and tags to the mini fold out album shown above.  Almost got it all done last night but still a few little details to do, so I'll take a photo of the finished album cover and pages this afternoon and will share it in a separate post.

Have a super crafty day!
