Hey Everyone!
I'm just checking in here with a quick step by step mini album using one sheet of cardstock and the super cute Bella BLVD & Illustrated Faith | Delight in His Day collection!
This mini folds down to 4"x4". I will attach a copy of the Pinterest template I found on line as well as the instruction. The original blog post can be found here. This link is for the base mini album only.
Instructions are as follows:
First cut along all the lines (that are not dotted) and then fold:
A: fold top center to the right. apply adhesive to top and bottom edges of right square and attach to create a pocket.
B: fold down.
C: fold top left square down. Apply adhesive to right and bottom edges of center left square and attach to create a pocket. fold under center square.
D: fold to the right.
E: fold bottom right square to the left.
F: fold edge of square to the right on 1" mark. apply adhesive to flaps to create two pockets.
G: fold bottom left square to the right.
Fold up to close.

Once the base cardstock mini has been created, I have added 3.75" squares of patterned paper to each 4"x4" section. Keep in mind though as you fold the card, to line up the patterned papers so they don't appear upside down as the mini is opened.
Folding the mini back to the 4"x4" size can be a little tricky. It might take a few tries to get it to lay flat or find the right way to fold it in on itself. *grin* I had to this attempt several times!
Finally embellish using the gorgeous paper pieces from Delight in His Day and those fun puffy heart stickers!!
I have left room in this mini for several photos measuring 3"x2", but I am sure you can easily substitute a 4"x4" paper for a square Instagram photo.
Have fun putting your album together! Once you have all the supplies sitting in front of you, it takes next to no time to create. Thanks for visiting..x

this is a very clever little book. I have done a similar project with an 8x10 sheet of paper. they are such a lovely gift when finished. Having been a SAHM myself who homeschooled, I found crafting fabulous therapy. Much cheaper than therapy. Thanks for sharing and giving such great directions.
