How to make a Mini Shaped Album

July 17, 2015 by Holly Gagnon Leave a Comment

Mini Album’s are just fun.  Heck, anything in the size of a Mini is fun!  Follow my tutorial on how to make your own Mini Shaped Album with or without a die cutting machine.

This house shape is cut out with my with my Silhouette from an Echo Park Home  cut file but this shape could easily  be cut out my hand.   I used  the Echo Park Paper Our Family Mini Theme Kit to embellish my  Mini Shaped Album.    The sticker “Family” found in the Our Family Kit inspired me to make this house shaped album since the word Family means Home to me and like the saying says, Home is Where Your Heart Is.

cut and Layered Die Cut Shapes to make into a mini album

 

To make the mini album durable using cardstock, I cut the base of  album twice out of white card stock, adhered the two pieces together then matted both sides with various patterned papers.   This simple house shape could also be traced and cut out by hand but using the Silhouette made it a lot quicker  {a little more precise} and you’re definitely not limited to simple cut out shapes.

 

Use metal Binder Rings to attache a mini album together

 

After the pages were cut and matted, I used a hole punch to attach them together with a binder ring.

The inside of the mini album is embellished with Our Family  Accent stickers,  Journaling, enamel dots and seam binding ribbon.   I also used my Silhouette again to cut out cute Echo Park Male and Female Icon cut files to personalized the album with my own family.
