Hello, crafty friends! I’m so happy to be back with a brand-new project that’s full of color, joy, and creative possibilities!

Today I’m sharing a fun and playful mini album made with the gorgeous Just Sayin’ collection by Kelly Bangs for Spellbinders. As soon as I saw this collection, I knew I wanted to create something that would reflect its cheerful vibe and storytelling elements. And what better way to do that than with a mini album bound with metal book rings?

This project is a celebration of everyday moments, bright colors, and meaningful little details — perfect for documenting your favorite photos, journaling, and adding your personal touch. Let’s take a closer look at the structure and all the fun embellishments I used to bring it to life!

For today’s mini album, I used:

• JUST SAYIN’ 12″» X 12″» PRINTED PAPER PACK
• JUST SAYIN’ WRITABLE DIE CUTS
• JUST SAYIN’ CHIPBOARD DIE CUTS
• JUST SAYIN’ DIE CUTS
• JUST SAYIN’ STICKER PACK
• SPEECH BUBBLES SENTIMENTS CLEAR STAMP
• 12″ Paper Trimmer & Scorer
• Pro Shears – 9 Inch

Mini Album Structure and Cover:

• Cut three pieces of chipboard. You can use grey chipboard or the white chipboard. In my case, I used the white chipboard from Spellbinders. The pieces to cut are: a) 2 pieces measuring 4” wide x 7” tall, b) 1 piece measuring 2 1/4” wide x 7” tall
• Cover the back cover along with the spine using a patterned or colored paper. You should leave a 1” flap to attach the resulting piece to the front cover.
• Make the holes for the rings in the spine before covering the inside. Here’s how you should do them:
  – Bottom holes: Punch at 1” and 2” from the bottom edge (this means they are spaced 1” apart in height). Horizontally, they should be 3/8” from each edge. Do not insert the eyelets yet.
  – Top holes: Repeat the same steps as the bottom ones (mirroring the placement). Do not insert the eyelets yet.
• Cover the front cover individually with white textured cardstock. Fold and secure all four sides.
• Attach the front cover to the rest of the structure.
• Add a closure ribbon, centered vertically on your mini album.
• Now you can add the paper to cover the inside.
• Once the paper is in place, you can re-punch the holes and insert the eyelets!
• Insert the rings. You’ll notice they can be a bit tricky to handle-this is normal due to the type of binding.

Interior:

• To build the structure of the inner pages, start by cutting 18 paper strips measuring 3/4”wide x 6 3/4” tall. Cut an extra strip to make a hole-punching template. Place this strip centered inside the spine and mark the height of the 4 holes. Then, measure inward (width) and mark the center point to punch at 1/4”. These strips will serve as supports for the pages/- booklets. Glue them in pairs and then punch the holes.
• The interior consists of small booklets made of 1 piece of patterned paper + 2–3 sheets of thinner white paper (intended for journaling and adding photos).
• All pieces should measure 6 1/2” wide x 6 3/4” tall, folded in half at 3 1/4” wide.
• You can create full-sized booklets with the measurements above or cut them in half vertically, ending up with 3 1/4” tall by the same width.
• You can also create pockets, fold-outs, or any interactive elements as long as you respect the maximum width (3 1/4”) and height (6 3/4”).
• Each booklet, pocket, etc. can be glued to the edge of the support strips we created, and you can even add a stitched detail—it looks amazing!
• After that, all that’s left is to decorate and insert your pages.

Do you want to make a mini album full of Polaroids? How about adding a little box? This is the perfect idea! I’ll show you how to create this Polaroid Mini Album in a Box, perfect for your most special photos and memories. And we’ll make it using the wonderful Classic Pooh collection by Simple Stories along with one of the die sets from Spellbinders.

For today’s mini album, I used:

• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 12 x 12 Collection Kit
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 8 Paper Pad
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Cardstock Stickers
• Ephemera – Bits And Pieces
• Ephemera – Journal Bits And Pieces
• Ephemera – Sentiment Bits And Pieces
• Ephemera – Floral Bits And Pieces
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 12 Chipboard Stickers
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Foam Stickers
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Decorative Brads
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Glossy Enamel Dots
• Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Etched Dies – Memory Frames
• Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Let’s create this Polaroid Mini Album in a Box

Mini Album Structure:

• The base of this mini album design is inspired by Polaroid cards and a box made from chipboard. For the box, I used 2mm thick chipboard and cut: (a) 4 pieces measuring 8.5 cm wide x 3.5 cm high and (b) 1 piece measuring 8.5 cm wide x 8.9 cm high (this will be the base of the box).
• We glue the pieces together to form the box, and once it’s dry, we attach the structure to the base piece we cut earlier.
• Once the box is ready, we choose two papers from the set to cover the exterior and interior.
• The decorative detail that serves as the «cover» of the box consists of: foam pieces from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Foam Stickers set + a foil paper piece cut with one of the dies from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Etched Dies – Memory Frames set + a chipboard piece from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 12 Chipboard Stickers set + a phrase die-cut. Everything is layered using foam to create depth and dimension.
• The «pages» of the mini album will be Polaroids, which we’ll cut using the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Etched Dies – Memory Frames set.

Decorative details:

• For the interior, I die-cut Polaroid frames using the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 8 Paper Pad.
• After adding the photo to each frame, I cut a background from textured white cardstock. On this, I’ll add the journaling for each photo.
• I do this by typing the text on my computer and printing it. You can then attach the printed piece of paper using 3D foam for added dimension.
• I also added 3×4 cards and some tags as extra details.
• Once all the pieces are ready, it’s time to decorate! Now we get to mix and match all the wonderful products from this collection!

I think it turned out beautifully, and it’s the perfect mini album to make in an afternoon. Don’t you agree?

It’s time to get ready to celebrate the most love-filled month of the year! Shall we start with some ideas? Today, I have a very simple, original mini album ready for you—one that you can personalize as much as you like. I’m using one of Simple Stories’ new collections, HeartStrings—it’s absolutely gorgeous! Completely captivating! Let’s get started!

For today’s mini album, I used:

• Heartstrings 6 x 8 Paper Pad
• Heartstrings Sentiment Bits And Pieces
• Heartstrings Bits And Pieces
• Heartstrings Floral Bits And Pieces
• Heartstrings 12 x 12 Cardstock Stickers
• Heartstrings Glitter Enamel Dots
• Heartstrings Foam Stickers
• Heartstrings Self Adhesive Decorative Brad
• Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Mint
• Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Bubblegum
• Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Dandelion

*** Complete Product list – HERE ***

Mini Album Structure:

• The mini album is built on a base of three designs: tags, hearts, and banners. You can cut them using dies, cut files (with your electronic cutting machine), or by hand. You can also adjust the size to your preference. My pieces measure approximately: a- Tag: 2 1/2″ wide x 5″ tall, b- Heart: 4 1/8″ wide x 4 3/8″ tall and c- Banner: 3 1/4″ wide x 4 1/2″ tall.
• I cut all the pieces using three papers from the Color Vibe collection by Simple Stories: Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Mint, Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Bubblegum and Color Vibe Collection – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Dandelion
• The patterned paper pieces that decorate the base pieces were cut slightly smaller. I used the Heartstrings 6 x 8 Paper Pad
• Before assembling the mini album, I added decorative stitching to the patterned paper pieces.
• You’ll need a 1 1/2″ diameter book ring for a total of 11 pieces (a mix of tags, hearts, banners, and tags from the collection).

Decorative details:

• Once all the patterned papers are glued down, it’s time to decorate! For the cover, I created a layered composition using 3D foam for some pieces and combining different elements. The gold thread adds such a beautiful touch, don’t you think?
• For the inside, I also used 3D foam and the Heartstrings Foam Stickers. Tip: Pay attention to where you place the raised pieces. It’s best to distribute them evenly throughout the album to avoid uneven layers, ensuring that your mini album stays balanced when finished. You’ll notice how much better it looks!
• You can add small details using gold foil paper.
• I used black and white photos and added my journaling on white cardstock (printed). Writing down memories is a lovely way to make our mini albums even more special.
• As an extra decorative touch, I added a tassel and a pretty ribbon.
• Tip: Use tweezers to handle the smallest die-cut pieces with precision.

• For the envelope box closure, I used a mini Velcro dot.

Tapa y Tag de Portada / Cover and Front Tag:

He hecho esta cajita usando mi plotter de corte Scan N Cut de Brother. La tapa tiene una pieza base en cardstock blanco y piezas decorativas de la colección. A su vez, he añadido una pieza circular de papel foil junto a un brad para poder colocar el Tag de Portada que hice con el set de troqueles «Set Sail».

I made this little box using my Brother Scan N Cut cutting plotter. The lid has a base piece in white cardstock and decorative pieces from the collection. Additionally, I added a circular piece of foil paper along with a brad to place the Front Tag that I made with the «Set Sail» die set.

El tag está preparado de la siguiente forma: a- 2 tags de papel vellum, b- 2 piezas de barco en cardstock blanco, c- 1 piezas de barco en foam amarillo, d- 1 pieza de base de barco en foam rosa, e- 1 set de velas en cardstock gris claro, f- piezas decorativas de barco en papel foil. Pegamos las piezas de papel entre si, y sobre ellas la pieza de foam. Todo ello lo montamos sobre cardstock blanco y cortamos por alrededor. Luego, ya podemos pegar todas las piezas decorativas restantes.

The tag is prepared as follows: a- 2 vellum paper tags, b- 2 boat pieces in white cardstock, c- 1 boat piece in yellow foam, d- 1 boat base piece in pink foam, e- 1 set of sails in light gray cardstock, f- decorative boat pieces in foil paper. We glue the paper pieces together, and on top of them the foam piece. We then mount everything on white cardstock and cut around it. After that, we can attach all the remaining decorative pieces.

Pegamos todo sobre los tags de vellum y añadimos el título con un set de alfabeto puffy y sitckers. Ten en cuenta que las velas las he pegado en relieve.

We attach everything onto the vellum tags and add the title with a set of puffy alphabet and stickers. Note that I glued the sails with a raised effect.

Estructura / Structure:

La base de la caja va decorada con papel de la colección tanto por el interior como por el exterior. A cada una de las fotos que he elegido las he pegado sólo por 3 de sus bordes para formar un bolsillo. En esos bolsillos colocaré mini tags para journaling ¡queda muy bonito!

The base of the box is decorated with paper from the collection both on the inside and outside. I have glued each of the photos I’ve chosen on only 3 of their edges to form a pocket. In these pockets, I will place mini tags for journaling. It looks very pretty!

Detalle especial / Special detail:

A continuación les muestro en detalle la decoración de cada uno de los lados de la caja. También he preparado un detalle especial para el centro. Coloqué una pequeña botella con arena de la playa junto a una piedra y pequeña concha marina que traje del viaje ¡le de un toque muy bello y original!

Next, I will show you the detailed decoration of each side of the box. I also prepared a special detail for the center. I placed a small bottle with beach sand along with a stone and a small seashell that I brought from the trip. It gives it a very beautiful and original touch!

Es un mini álbum muy original y que puede ser el regalo perfecto para alguien que queremos mucho 😉

Base de madera o MDF / Wooden or MDF Base:

La base de madera será nuestro patrón. Tenemos dos formas de hacerlo: 1- delineando el borde y cortando a mano (todas las piezas que necesitamos), 2- creando un archivo de corte para utilizar con nuestro plótter de corte (cortaremos todas las piezas con esta herramienta eléctrica).

The wooden base will be our template. There are two ways to do it: 1- tracing the edge and cutting by hand (all the pieces we need), 2- creating a cutting file to use with our cutting plotter (we will cut all the pieces with this electric tool).

Hay una detalle importante respecto de la última opción que encontrarán detallado en el video tutorial.

There is an important detail about the last option that you will find detailed in the video tutorial.

Forramos la base de madera, repasamos los bordes con una lima de uñas para quitar cualquier resto de papel y forramos todo el borde con papel foil dorado.

We cover the wooden base, go over the edges with a nail file to remove any paper residue, and line the entire edge with gold foil paper.

Portada / Cover:

La portada está formada por una pieza de vellum y una de papel de diseño. La pegaremos a la estructura del mini álbum como último paso. Para decorarla he usado elementos de la colección y flores de papel. Todo pegado en capas y distribuyendo la decoración en ambas alas de la mariposa.

The cover is made up of a piece of vellum and a piece of design paper. We will attach it to the mini album structure as the final step. To decorate it, I used elements from the collection and paper flowers. Everything is glued in layers, distributing the decoration across both wings of the butterfly.

Antes de comenzar a decorarla, debemos unir ambas piezas con costura por el centro (cuerpo de la mariposa). No debemos usar adhesivo líquido o cinta de doble cara. Hacemos una costura central en zig zag y una costura recta a ambos inicios de las alas. Una vez cosidas, ya podemos comenzar a pegar todos nuestros elementos decorativos. Al terminar de decorar, colocamos adhesivos por la parte de atrás del vellum (sólo en las zonas donde hay embellishments y dejando libres los bordes de las alas).

Before starting the decoration, we need to join both pieces by sewing them together at the center (the body of the butterfly) with a sewing machine. We should not use liquid adhesive or double-sided tape. We sew a central zigzag stitch and a straight stitch at the beginning of each wing. Once sewn, we can start attaching all our decorative elements. After finishing the decoration, we place adhesive on the back of the vellum (only in the areas where there are embellishments, leaving the edges of the wings free).

Señalador o Separador / Bookmark or Divider:

He preparado una especie de señalador o separador con hilo dorado, una pieza del pack de die cuts y un tassel. Debemos pegarlo por la parte de atrás de la estructura interna y luego pegar todo en la base del mini álbum.

I have prepared a kind of bookmark or divider with gold thread, a piece from the die-cut pack, and a tassel. We need to attach it to the back of the internal structure and then adhere everything to the base of the mini album.

Interior del Mini Álbum / Mini Album Interior:

El interior del mini álbum se compone por todo el resto de las piezas en forma de mariposa que hemos cortado. Debemos pegarlas a todas unas sobre otras por el cuerpo de la mariposa (dejando libres las alas). Es en esta pieza final sobre la que pegamos el señalador y, finalmente, la portada. Las páginas irán levantándose a medida que añadamos todos los detalles decorativos (es justamente lo que buscamos).

The inside of the mini album consists of all the remaining butterfly-shaped pieces we have cut. We need to glue them all together at the body of the butterfly (leaving the wings free). This final piece is where we attach the bookmark, and finally, the cover. The pages will lift as we add all the decorative details (which is exactly what we want).

Podemos añadir detalles de acuarela blanca en las páginas de colores lisos, detalles de hilo dorado y todo aquello que les guste.

We can add white watercolor details on the solid color pages, gold thread accents, and anything else you like.

Es un mini álbum con mucho espacio para fotos, recuerdos y journaling ¡es ideal!

It’s a mini album with plenty of space for photos, memories, and journaling—it’s perfect!

Aquí les comparto el tutorial completo, paso a paso, con tips y consejos para hacer este mini álbum.

Here, I share the complete step-by-step tutorial with tips and advice for making this mini album.

Es una propuesta distinta y que les permitirá aprovechar todas esas piezas de madera, que tienen en casa o ven en las tiendas, de una forma diferente.

Para armar la estructura necesitamos 5 piezas de cartón de: a- 2 piezas de 3 1/2″ de ancho x 4 7/8″ de alto, b- 1 pieza de 1″ de ancho x 4 7/8″ de alto, c- 1 pieza de 1 1/8″ de ancho x 4 7/8″ de alto, d- 1 pieza de 1 1/2″ de ancho x 4 7/8″ de alto. Forramos individualmente las piezas a y d (puedes redondear la esquina). Forramos dejando solapas a los lados la piezas b y c (unirán todas la piezas anteriores). Forrar interior una vez armada la estructura.

To assemble the structure, we need 5 pieces of cardboard: a- 2 pieces measuring 3 1/2″ wide x 4 7/8″ high b- 1 piece measuring 1″ wide x 4 7/8″ high c- 1 piece measuring 1 1/8″ wide x 4 7/8″ high d- 1 piece measuring 1 1/2″ wide x 4 7/8″ high. Individually cover pieces a and d (you can round the corner). Cover pieces b and c, leaving flaps on the sides (these will connect all the previous pieces). Cover the interior once the structure is assembled.

Portada / Cover:

La portada llevará piezas del pack de die cuts y stickers con foam adhesivo para poder decorar en capas. El cierre lo haremos con velcros adhesivos. Puedes añadir detalles de brillo como enamel dots o perlas.

The cover will feature pieces from the die cuts pack and stickers with foam adhesive to create layered decorations. We will use adhesive velcro for the closure. You can add shiny details like enamel dots or pearls.

Estructura Interior / Interior Structure:

La estructura interior es un acordeón formado por 8 piezas de cardstcok blanco de 6 5/8″ de ancho x 4 1/2″ de alto. Plegar al ancho en 3 1/4″ y 3 3/8″. Las pegaremos entre sí de tal manera que se formarán bolsillos entre ellas (allí colocaremos los tags).

The interior structure is an accordion made up of 8 pieces of white cardstock, each measuring 6 5/8″ wide x 4 1/2″ high. Fold each piece widthwise at 3 1/4″ and 3 3/8″. We will glue them together in such a way that pockets are formed between them (where we will place the tags).

Detalles Decorativos / Decorative Details:

Para decorar todo el interior aproveché uno de los sets de troqueles de Pinkfresh Studio que encuentran en la lista de materiales. Los tags los troquelé en un papel con un color de contraste precioso de la marca Spellbinders. No olviden combinar piezas decorativas en relieve junto a piezas pegadas directamente en el papel (plano – sin relieve)

To decorate the entire interior, I used one of the Pinkfresh Studio die sets found in the supply list. I die-cut the tags from a beautiful contrasting color paper by Spellbinders. Don’t forget to combine raised decorative pieces with pieces glued directly to the paper (flat – without dimension).

Es un mini álbum pequeño pero con mucho espacio para fotos y recuerdos. Además… es precioso ¿no creen? No se pierdan el reel con todo el proceso…

It’s a small mini album, but with plenty of space for photos and memories. Plus… it’s beautiful, don’t you think? Don’t miss the reel with the entire process…

¡Hola fans de Pinkfresh Studio! ¡Feliz lunes! ¡Hoy estamos celebrando un día especial! ¡Es día de lanzamiento ¡Gracias por acompañarme en el nuevo Blog Hop lanzamiento de los «Productos de Marzo 2023» de Pinkfresh Studio! ¡Estoy tan feliz de tener la oportunidad de mostrarles los nuevos productos porque son INCREÍBLES! Y…como siempre… ¡Hay algo nuevo que van a AMAR! ¡Sí! Para celebrar el lanzamiento de Pinkfresh Studio, hoy hay un blog hop. ¡Están a punto de enamorarse! ¡Empecemos!

First of all! If you ended up here from Clarissa Wiley’s blog then you are on track. Your next stop is Channin Pelletier’s blog. To start the blog hop from the beginning you can go to Pinkfresh Studio blog. Have fun and discover the beauties that my teammates have made for you for this release!

¡Primero que nada! Si estás aquí desde el blog de Clarissa Wiley, entonces estás en el camino correcto. Tu próxima parada es el blog de Channin Pelletier. Si quieres ver el Blog Hop desde el principio, puede ir directamente al blog de Pinkfresh Studio. ¡Diviértete y descubre las bellezas que mis compañeras de equipo han hecho para ti para este lanzamiento!

Let’s get started with this blog hop! For this release I prepared a lovely mini album for some special memories. I wanted to prepare something delicated for some memories with Federica (my goddaughter). I used the A2 Slider Die, the Tuberose Set (Tuberose Washi and Tuberose Die) and the Foiled Sentiments Set 5.

¡Comencemos con este blog hop! Para este lanzamiento preparé un mini álbum especial para unos recuerdos muy especiales. Quería hacer algo delicado para algunos de los recuerdos con Federica (mi ahijada). Utilicé el A2 Slider Die, el Tuberose Set (Tuberose Washi y Tuberose Die) y Foiled Sentiments Set 5.

And I attach below all the photos of this release so you can see them and choose all your favorite ones.

Y les adjunto a continuación todas las fotos de los nuevos productos de este lanzamiento para que puedan verlos y elegir todos sus favoritos.

To make this project first thing to do is to prepare the mini album structure. We need to cut 3 cardboard pieces: a-2 of 4 1/4″ w x 5 1/2″ h and b- 1 of 1 1/2″ w x 5 1/2″ h for the spine. Then, you have to cover the cardboard spine piece with textured white paper and both covers with a checkered paper from the collection Good Times 12×12 paper pad. You will use the spine piece to join the two covers together.

Para hacer este proyecto lo que primero que tenemos que hacer es preparar la estructura del mini álbum. Necesitamos cortar e piezas de cartón de: a-2 de 4 1/4″ ancho x 5 1/2″ alto y b- 1 de 1 1/2″ ancho x 5 1/2″ alto para la espina. Luego, debes forrar la pieza de cartón del lomo en papel texturado blanco y las dos portadas en papel a cuadros de la colección Good Times 12×12 paper pad. Usarás la pieza del lomo para unir las dos portadas.

For the cover I prepared a cardboard frame that I covered in textured white cardstock. Also I prepared and cut some lovely flowers using the Tuberose Set (Tuberose Washi and Tuberose Die). They look gorgeous! Before adding the frame to the cover, I added a detail of toasted rustic thread on one of its bases. The flowers are glued in layers behind the frame. And as a final detail, I added one of the phrases from the set Foiled Sentiments Set 5.

Para la portada preparé un marco de cartón que cubrí con cartulina blanca texturizada. También preparé y corté unas lindas flores usando el Tuberose Set (Tuberose Washi y Tuberose Die). ¡Se ven hermosas! Antes de añadir el marco a la tapa, añadí un detalle de hilo rústico tostado en una de sus bases. Las flores están pegadas en capas detrás del marco. Y como detalle final, añadí una de las frases del set Foiled Sentiments Set 5.

To make the spine you need to cut 1 piece of white cardstock of 6 3/4″ w x 5″ h. Score at 1″, 1 1/2″, 2″, 2 1/4″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/4″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 4 1/2″, 4 3/4″, 5 1/4″, 5 3/4″. Shape the spine and glue it centered on the inside. Then you can add the closing ribbons of the mini album and paste the interior papers.

Para hacer la espina necesitas cortar 1 pieza de cartulina blanca de 6 3/4″ de ancho x 5″ de alto. Pliega a 1″, 1 1/2″, 2″, 2 1/4″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/4″, 3 1/2″, 4″, 4 1/2″, 4 3/ 4″, 5 1/4″, 5 3/4″. Da forma a la espina y pégala centrada por dentro. Luego puedes añadir las cintas de cierre del mini álbum y pegar los papeles interiores.

Spine details: I added a small eyelet (centered width) and I added a flower charm, which I prepared by gluing several layers of paper to give it good thickness. It looks wonderful!

Detalles del lomo: Le añadí un pequeño eyelet (centrado al ancho) y le añadí un charm de flor, que preparé pegando varias capas de papel para darle un buen grosor. ¡Se ve maravilloso!

For the interior, we are going to use the A2 Slider Die and the Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set. We will use these two sets to prepare the pages. Also, we will use the Essentials: Slim Stripes Die Set.

Para el interior, usaremos el set A2 Slider Die y el Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set. Usaremos estos dos sets para preparar las páginas. También usaremos el Essentials: Slim Stripes Die Set.

We need to cut 4 sets using the A2 Slider Die and 4 pieces of the bigger die of the Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set. All of them on white cardstock. It is necessary that we have our printed photos to be able to assemble the pages and assemble the entire mechanism of the A2 Slider Die. Also that we write the entire journaling of each of the cards (as you can see in the photos). To each card (the one with the journaling) I added a handle using the ribbon as the closure. When we have everything ready, we paste the photos and assemble the mechanisms. We will already have 4 pages ready and we will have the remaining 4 to be able to form our entire interior structure.

Necestamos cortar 4 set usando el A2 Slider Die y 4 piezas con el troquel más grande del Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set. Todas deben ser el cardstock blanco. Es necesario tener nuestras fotos impresas para poder armar las páginas y montar el mecanismo entero del A2 Slider Die. También tenemos que escribir todo el journaling en las tarjetas (como pueden ver en las fotos). A cada tarjeta (las de journaling) le añadí un tirador usando la misma cinta que usé para el cierre del mini álbum. Cuando tenemos todo listo, tenemos que pegar las fotos y montar los mecanismos. Tendremos listas 4 páginas y nos quedarán las 4 restantes para poder darle forma a toda la estructura interior.

Details of the pages and final assembly: to both pages I have added some details of strips of paper that I made with the Essentials: Slim Stripes Die Set. For mechanism pages A2 Slider Die I added two thin strips of design paper and flowers from the Tuberose Set. And for the 4 pages of the Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set I added one strip of white cardstonck and one strip of design paper. Also, I added some sentiments from Foiled Sentiments Set 5 and some flowers from the Tuberose Set. When everything is ready, we must glue one page of each design together, leaving the edge that will go on the spine unglued. So we can take each page to our structure and paste it.

Detalles de las páginas y armado final: a ambas páginas he añadido algunos detalles de tiras de papel que hice con el Essentials: Slim Stripes Die Set. Para los mecanismos de las páginas de A2 Slider Die agregué dos tiras delgadas de papel de diseño y flores del Tuberose Set. Y para las 4 páginas del Essentials: Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die Set agregué una tira de cartulina blanca y una tira de papel de diseño. También, añadí frases del Foiled Sentiments Set 5 y algunas flores del Tuberose Set. Cuando todo esté listo, debemos pegar una página de cada diseño, dejando sin pegar el borde que irá en el lomo. Entonces podemos llevar cada página a nuestra estructura y pegarla.

Our project is ready! We can add flower details on the inside of the covers as well as thread details. Another idea is to add smaller cards to the design of the other pages to be able to put more photos/journaling later.

¡Nuestro proyecto está listo! Podemos añadir detalles de flores en los interiores de las portadas así como también detalles de hilo. Otra idea es añadir tarjetas más pequeñas al diseño de las otras páginas para poder luego poner más fotos/recuerdos.

¡Hola crafters! Qué felicidad tengo de estar nuevamente por aquí y compartiendo una de mis nuevas ideas usando la colección Flower Market de Pinkfresh Studio. Desde que vi la colección hice una lista de ideas… y la de hoy es súper especial.

Hello crafters! I’m so happy of been here today!  I have a lovely new idea with the Flower Market Collection! You know how much I love butterflies and I had the idea of doing this project for some time. My Rainbow Butterfly Mini Album it’s here!

Es un mini álbum en capas súper lindo y delicado. ¡Puede ser un regalo tan lindo que te enamorarás por completo de él!

It is a super cute and delicate layered mini album. It can be such a cute gift, you will fall completely in love with it! 

Los materiales que he usado para este proyecto son/ The materials I have used for this project are:

1- Flower Market 6×6 Paper Pad
2- Flower Market Layered Sticker
3- Flower Market Enamel Dots
4- Flower Market Chipboard Flair
5- Flower Market Chipboard Frames
6- Flower Market Flower Ephemera
7- Butterflies Die
8- Butterflies Hot Foil Plate
9- Glimmer Hot Foil System
10- Glimmer Hot Foil Roll: Polished Brass

Para hacer este mini he usado el pad de papeles de la lista de materiales y cardstock de colores lisos. Hice un arcoíris de colores combinando papeles de diseño del pad y los papeles de colores lisos.

For making this mini album we are going to use the paper pack of the material and plain colored cardstock. I made a rainbow of colors by combining both types of paper. One plain color + one design.

Estructura: corté 6 grupos de colores. Cada grupo tiene dos piezas: una de papel de diseño + una de papel de color liso. Usé el troquel de mariposas de la lista de materiales (la mariposa más grande completa).

Structure:  I cut 6 color groups. Each group has two pieces: one of design paper + one of solid color paper. I used the Butterflies Die, the Big Butterfly (complete).

También, preparé dos mariposas extras usando el Butterflies Hot Foil Plate y mi sistema para foil Glimmer Hot Foil System junto con mi máquina de troquelado manual. Una mariposa la hice sobre cardstock blanco y otra sobre papel vellum. Éstas son para mi portada.

Una vez que elegimos y cortamos todas las piezas, debemos elegir el orden de los colores y pegar las piezas por el centro de las mariposas (una sobre otra).

Also, I prepared two extra butterflies using the Butterflies Hot Foil Plate and my Glimmer Hot Foil System. One butterfly on white cardstock and one on vellum paper. These will form my cover.

Once we choose and cut all the pieces, we must choose the order of colors and glue all the pieces in the center of the butterfly (one on top of the other).

Portada: las piezas con hot foil son las más importantes. Debemos dejarlas pegadas sólo por el centro. Esto le da un detalle precioso. Para terminar de decorarla he usado una pieza del set de Layered Stickers y algunos Enamel Dots de la colección.

El hot foil roll que he usado es el Glimmer Hot Foil Roll: Polished Bras. ¡Es un color precioso!

Cover: the hot foil pieces are the most important ones. Leaving them only glued in the center gives it a beautiful detail. To decorate the cover I used one piece from the Layered Stickers and some Enamel Dots from the collection.

The hot foil roll I used is: Glimmer Hot Foil Roll: Polished Brass. It’s a lovely color!

Interior: la idea es que algunas páginas queden decoradas y otras con fotos. Podemos cortar las fotos con el mismo troquel que ya hemos usado y cortar la sección que no usemos.

Como detalles he añadido algunas piezas del set Chipboard Flair, Chipboard Frames y del Floral Ephemera Pack.

Interior: the idea is that some pages remain decorated and others with photos. We can cut the photos with the same die and remove what we don’t need.

As details I added some pieces from the Chipboard Flair , smalls pieces from the Chipboard Frames and some pieces from the Floral Ephemera pack.

¿No es adorable? Recuerden que pueden ver más sobre el proceso en mi cuenta de IG. ¡Nos vemos la próxima!

Isn’t it adorable? 🙂 Remember that you can see the process on my IG profile. See you soon!
