Purse Mini Album - Tutorial

Hello!

Now I have 2 purse albums, one bigger and another - a really cute one - smaller. For the smaller version I have a video tutorial available in several parts on my You Tube channel.

You may view the pictures of the larger album in the post here.

In the current post, though, I want to show you the smaller purse (both alone, and in comparison to the larger album).

So, the mini version measures 6 1/4" x 5". The spine is 2 3/4". There are 6 pages inside. I used Ginger's tutorial as a base for creating my pages.






In my video tutorial, I take you through the process of creating the pages, with a little change from those in Ginger's tutorial.

Here's a guide for cutting the card stock and patterned paper, as well as the punch marks for the Envelope Punch Board (EPB).


The pictures below show a bit of inside decor of the album:




You can find a video with the walk-through for the larger album here:


And the tutorial for creating a smaller version of the album here:

Part 3 (Final)

Since I got a lot of messages from people, who wanted to know whether I have a tutorial for the larger version, will answer here - No, unfortunately, I don't.

Although I have this only picture that I took while creating the first larger purse album. I hope it will help you to figure out the rest of the measurements:



Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.



Hugs,
Alexandra

  2. Absolutely amazing. Your work is art. I am debating taking on such a project. I hope to build an album as beautiful as yours. I have 3 stacks of this Prima 6x6 in my scrap closet. What is the name of the pink paper you used on the cover?

    1. cant you make your own handles with card stock or other thick pliable paper, doubled up or tyvek strips,i think it would be awesome to make straps like this

    2. Hi Barb! By all means you can make your own handles, using tyvek or heavyweight cardstock, or even leather/faux leather. Whatever you feel goes good with the project or is available in your stash.
