I decided to make a Mini Christmas Album for my Facebook Live today. So I thought that I would wait until it was finished and share it with you.

You can see how I made it here – just click!

The album will be given as a gift for Christmas, filled with messages and gift cards.

I cut 18 pieces of card using the largest of the Scalloped Contour Dies. Using three 1-1/2″x 1/2″ pieces of Basic Black card, I joined each pair of die cut ‘pages’. These pieces of black card were folded in half to create a hinge.

To create the album, each of these hinged pairs were then glued to the back of a pair. The next photo shows you how the album looks.

Each of the eight pages is made up of two of the die cut pieces of card. The Facebook video also shows you the technique I used. By joining two pices of card for each page gives the album greater stability.

Each page then had either a panel of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper or a panel of Basic White card adhered. These pieces also worked to cover the black hinges.

The white panels provide a place to write your Christmas messages and the pockets are a place to pop a gift card or a tag with more messages.

The pages can be used to attach photos of the person you’re giving it to or can be left so that they can use the album to add photos of their Christmas celebration. The photos would need to be 3″x 2″.

To secure the album I wrapped a length of Real Red Double-stitched Satin Ribbon around the album, securing it at first with some Stampin’ Seal+. Then Iattached a panel of DSP to the front and back pages.

The Christmas greeting, from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set , was stamped and then cut using another of the Scalloped Contour Dies. This was attached to the front of the album.

The front was decorated with stamped and cut elements from the Christmas Season Stamp Set and Seasonal Labels Dies. I popped them on the alum frint using Multipurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finsihed the front off with a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I am so pleased with the way this Mini Christmas Album has turned out.

Until next time, happy stamping.
