Hello and welcome back crafty friends! I'm sharing another mini-album that I've created with the new Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette mini-album dies by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders. Oo my! These incredible cutting dies make for some very lovely mini-albums that are really fun and easy to create. You will be surprised as to how easily these come together. You can start as basic and simple as you'd like to very complex with mutl-layers, extra pages and embellishments galore. Totally your choice. :)
For my golden mini-album, I've added extra layers to the cuts for added depth. Ive used white cardstock for sturdiness, vellum to soften the look and quality heavy gold wrapping paper. That was key to have on each page throughout the design for an elegant golden look. Notice how I've included several decorative pockets and extra hidden mini pages within the album? These are for adding extra little photos, memories and special notes. Thinking this would make for a perfect little wedding keepsake gift, or a nice Valentine's Day gift, or a lovely little Anniversary gift, don't you think.
The first two pages include a pocket on one side and a gate-fold photo insert on other.
This next section can hold a photo on one side and a pocket with a pullout note tab on other.
The next set of pages offers another pocket side. This has heart layered die-cuts as a backing to the pocket on one side, and a photo insert panel on other.
The next page has a pocket on the panel to slide a photo into and an actual opening photo panel on opposite side.
the last of the pages could hold hidden notes in a pocket on one side and a photo on the other.
Here is the finished back of the mini-album.
Accordion view of all pages.
The spine with the album opened.
The spine with the album closed. For a finishing touch, I've added adhesive pearls throughout.
That's it! Album is ready to go. Just add photos, memories and notes to complete! :)
