Easy Mini album in a box tutorial

 Christmas is coming everyone get creating !! Handmade gifts are just the best gift to give and no waiting in line or things being out of stock all you need do is stock up on papercraft supplies nice and early.


Today I am sharing a quick and easy gift you can create which is budget friendly and time friendly. A mini album in a box.



So this gift is made to fit our pre made mini paper pumpkin boxes ..these are awesome fun to create with and I can see me making a few project with these so stock up on these ready! 

I made a simple concertina style mini album with 18 pages which fits nicely inside this box. You can dress them up or keep them simple it is up to you.

The possibilities are endless with just a little imagination you could take this idea and add to it. Idd pockets and tags or positive sentiments and fill it with photos for the recipient. A memory box of the year or years gone by. What a great gift.

I have a step by step video to share and I will leave all measurements and products used below. If you would like to purchase any of the items I use today simply click the product photograp to jump to my online store.

Gift card holder/ mini book tutorial

 I created this cut little mini brag book today which is also great as a gift card holder. A lovely little gift for someone . They can have the treat of a gift card and the long lasting gift of a mini brag book you can fill with photos to adorn a workstation or mantle piece.



This one has a fantastic travel theme to it but you could make it any style you like. I used the speciality World of Good designer series paper from Stampin' Up! and the co-ordinating stamp set Beautiful World. The gold foiling throughout the papers here gives the most beautiful luxury look to this easy little gift.

I have a full process from beginning to end video tutorial listed below. Come on over and subscribe for regular creative ideas.


I will also leave all measurements used and a supplies list so you have everything you need to re create this fun project.
