One Sheet Mini Album Tutorial

Hello folks,

Its me neha here today!!
So our Designers have done fabulous job with tutorials and inspiration posts last month..
If you have missed don't forget to check them even now.

So today I am sharing a quick one sheet mini album tutorial. This tutorial is very basic and it can be completed in just 30 minuted. It is also great fro upcoming summer workshops.

I have tried my best to give you step by step guide, however do excuse me for any mistakes as its my first time making a tutorial, and I promise to improvise in coming posts.

Lets get started.

Supplies used

You can click on link next to supplies to purchase supplies from our store.

1. 230 GSM iris cardstock: Cardstocks
2. 10*10 inch pattern paper pack: Pattern paper
3. fevicryl glue, red liner tape, foam tape/foam square: Adhesive
4. corner rounder, tim holtz scale, non stick scissors, penknife, bone folder: Tools
5. magnets and washers: Magnets

So gather your supplies and lets get started

STEP 1: Take one sheet of 12 by 18 inch size iris 230 GSM. And score it as shown in diagram

              You can use black or kraft cardstock. but I recommend not to use anything heavier than 220-230 GSM for this project. 

and if you don't have 12 by 18 inch sheet, than you can take 2 sheet of 12 by 12 inch.. stick one next to other and trim as per size needed.

STEP 2: Cut the lines in between each bigger fold from top and bottom row.
               You will cut only the part which I have marked with stripes in above picture and where I have put scissor icon. Yes this is the only part of cardstock we cut for this project, rest everything will be converted into an album. There is minimum wastage of cardstock in this project.

STEP 3:
Taking corner rounder, round of all corners of album. This is optional if you don't have corner rounder punch you can skip this. But I personally like rounded corners in such small albums.

STEP 4:
Attaching magnets and washers using red tacky tape. I do not recommend using any kind of wet glue while attaching magnets and washers as it gets messy and it reduces magnetic power of magnet.
Red tacky tape is quickest and cleanest way to attach magnets and washers

STEP 5 & 6:
I got bit carried away once my base was ready and started sticking pattern papers and forgot to take picture of papers I cut.
So for each panel you cut your pattern paper 1/8 inch smaller than  size of your base page. And stick them in co ordinating manner
For the front of album I used a layer of fabriano celeste cardstock below pattern paper just to give it a pop!

STEP 7:
The paper pack we used has 2 sheets of co ordinating die cut elements. so all I did was select some elements and stick them using glue or foam squares.

Check below pictures for final look of the album
