Hello Spooky Friends, It's Conny, and I'm excited to share a fun project using the Hey Pumpkin Collection with you. Today, I'll be creating an envelope mini album. To make this project, you will need a 1-2-3 Punch Board. Additionally, I decided to create a sturdy chipboard base to hold the envelopes together. This will ensure that the mini album is durable and long-lasting. Get ready for a creative and enjoyable crafting session!
I started by selecting two patterned papers and two solid textured cardstock. Then, I trimmed them to 8 3/8" and followed the 1-2-3 punch directions to create the envelopes.
After that, I wrapped the chipboard pieces with beetle black cardstock. The chipboard pieces measure 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" for the covers and 2" x 6 1/2" for the spine. I used the 6" x 6" paper pad from the Hey Pumpkin Collection to cover the front of both covers and added stitching with my sewing machine.
To assemble the covers and spine, I used a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". I scored the paper on the shorter side at 1 1/4" and 3 1/4", and positioned the spine in the middle. For the hinges, I used cardstock from the textured cardstock assortment pack from the Hey Pumpkin Collection. I used two pieces measuring 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" and 6 1/4" x 2". For the 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" piece, I scored at 1/2" and 2". For the 6 1/4" x 2" piece, I scored at 1/2" and 1 1/2". I adhered the larger one first in the middle of the spine and then adhered the smaller one on top, and that gave me my four hinges. Finally, I glued the envelopes to the hinges. I glued them all going the same way, but you could do facing each other too!
Inside the mini-album, I added a card that can hold photos. The paper for this one measures 8 1/2" x 6" and scored on the longest side at 4 1/4", folded and placed inside the envelopes. I added a few photo mats for the back of the envelopes to hold 3" x 4" or 3 1/2" x 5" photos. I embellished the inside, and I used Odds & Ends, Chit Chats, bits & Pieces and doodle-pops for the cover page. You can watch the process on my YouTube Channel. Thank you for stopping by! Xo Conny!
