Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week viewing the new collections from Kaisercraft. As you have seen, Kaisercraft have released some beautiful Christmas collections this year and the Mint Wishes Collection certainly doesn't disappoint. Today I am sharing an envelope mini album that I created using this collection. This album is a gift for a dear friend of mine who is a proud 'poppy.' He enjoys sharing pictures of his grandson from his phone, so my gift to him is this album. As he is a non crafter, the album is straight forward therefore it is easy to construct.
I have two videos to share with you. One is a walk through of the completed album and the second is the tutorial. So grab a cuppa and enjoy!
The Video Walk Through
The next video is the tutorial. This is a lengthy video as it was filmed in real time. To assist you in your viewing, you can fast forward to the following sections:
33m matting the covers
39min hinges
51min pages and inserts
57min matting pages and inserts
1hr 1min attaching pages to album
1hr 3 min creating the pocket and belly band
The format of the album was deliberate. I didn't want it to be too difficult for my friend, as some mini albums have a lot of interactions. However there are still lots of spaces for photos.
Mini books are great inserts into mini albums. You can journal and add small photos. The sentiments from the cut a part sheet are great for creating these.
The papers in the collection coordinate beautifully! You can mix and match so all of the components of your album effortlessly. By limiting the colour palet, it makes the designing the album less complicated and it makes the whole experience enjoyable.

Hello everyone! Today I have a mini album to share with you. I have been wanting to create an album to use up paper....mini albums are a great way of doing that. I have so much of this beautiful paper which is The Curiosity Collection from Kaisercraft. I also wanted to make a mini album that folded out. Alexandra shared a tutorial on how to make a mini album suitcase. I adapted it slightly and kept it simple as it is eight pages in total. This is also constructed using envelopes. I am also sharing a video walkthrough below. It's a great album to make and I love how it stands up so easily!
Here are some close ups....
Enjoy the video below!
