Hello-hello!
It's been a while since I posted a tutorial on my YouTube channel or here on the blog, but today it's going to change. After a long brake I honestly feel that making a tutorial in the video format would take me too much time, that's why we will be going back to when only picture tutorials were available.
In a very detailed way, I will teach you how to make a mini album with a couple of interactive elements and will include pictures for every step of the process.
The tutorial is created for the La-La Land Crafts and will feature some of the amazing products of the brand:

Celebrate Collection Rubber Stamp (some of the sentiments are from this set)
Summer Dress Marci Rubber Stamp (full size version of the stamp)

Last year at the La-La Palooza Retreat I taught a class on this album, although the cover and he papers were different back then. A dear friend of mine, Patti, owns this album now :) Hi Patti!!

Let's begin!
Creating the Cover
First, we will need 3 pieces of medium weight chipboard measuring 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" (2 pc), 6 1/4" X 1 1/4" (1 pc). These will form our album cover.
For wrapping the cover we will need two pieces of cardstock measuring 11" X 7 1/4" & 4 1/4" X 7 1/4". I am using the 8.5" X 11" paper, hence the measurements. If you are using the 12"X12" cardstock, please figure out the measurements based on the pictures that you see below. We need a continuous piece of paper, which will be enough to wrap the chipboard pieces.
I added a strip of score tape to the long side of the smaller paper piece and drew guidelines 0.5" away from the left and bottom edge of the larger paper piece, as well as 0.5" away from the bottom of the smaller paper piece. See the picture below for the reference.
