Hi Crealies fans, Dr Sonia here with a Mini Book/ Mini Album
featuring multiple pockets made with the Crealies Cardzz No 6 die.
featuring multiple pockets made with the Crealies Cardzz No 6 die.
Each side of this mini album has 3 pockets and the right side also has an additional band [secured with brads] which can hold mini notes or tags or even a pen. I also made the flower girl bookmark to match with the theme of my mini album.
Making pockets the conventional way does require a lot of measuring and folding.Here is how you can make one easily and quickly using the Crealies No 06 die.
I used golden card stock, red lining paper and Graphic 45 floral shoppe papers to make the pockets
Snip off a triangle from the open corner of the diecut as shown above
Layer on it some pattern paper and you have your top most pocket.
For the 2nd layer [inner layer]..snip off a smaller triangle
and optionally cut matching pattern paper to mat
and optionally cut matching pattern paper to mat
Apply glue to the tabs of the Cardzz No 6 diecut and stick the first pocket on top of the 2nd.If you are using liquicd glue and thick cardstock like I did, using binder clips to help keep the parts together while the glue dries is an easy option to get good adhesion.
Here is how it looks with 2 pockets...you can add more pockets by snipping off triangles of different sizes from the top corner of the diecut made with the Cardzz No 6 die.
You can adhere your pockets to a base made of cardstock or if you want a sturdy mini album...make one out of chipboard and satin cloth like the one I have made here[ Here is the link to the Tutorial on my blog in case you are interested: DIY Stationary Holder Tutorial ]
I hope you liked this idea of creating an easy Mini Book
