Folded Square with Wonders Mini Album by Amber Mitchell


Thursday, May 13, 2021

  Hello crafty friends, Amber Mitchell here on Paige’s blog today to share with you a fun and interactive mini album I created using the Wonders collection and the Folded Square Mini Album cut file!

I’ve had my eye on this Folded Square Mini Album cut file for a while now - it’s just so fun! I’m also a huge fan of how it can double as a cute display item.

To create this mini, I first resized the Folded Square Mini Album cut file to about 6x6 inches so that my pages would roughly measure 3 inches in size. I then cut my five pages from the following papers from WondersPaper 2Paper 5Paper 13Paper 14, and Paper 16.

Next, I assembled the album as instructed and began the embellishing process. I created some 2x2 inch photo mats from white cardstock and distressed the edges of them using my scissors. I also added machine stitching to the edges for extra added texture.

The larger flowers from the Floral Die Cuts added a fun touch to this mini as they make for perfect statement pieces. I also love how they peek out when the album is closed. To fill up some of the empty spaces in the album, I added some sentiments and journaling spaces by using pieces from the Ephemera Die Cuts. On the cover I added some of the Floral Die Cuts as well as a sticker from the Banner Stickers to act as the title of the album.

For added texture and dimension, I used the Thickers to add a “smile” sentiment and used some of the Chipboard Stickers throughout the album as well. A few stickers from the 8-Page Sticker Book and a few fussy cut butterflies from the 6x8 Paper Pad were the perfect final touches to this album. To keep the album open for display, I added a small miniature clothespin that I clipped to one of the pages. And for a bit of extra fun, I added tassels and charms from my stash.

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today! I love creating interactive minis like this one and I can’t wait to fill it with fun, vibrant memories to match the bright colors of Wonders. I’ll see you next time with another fun project! Take care and happy crafting!
