Got Envelopes?

I am continuing my learning exploration of different styles, shapes and sizes of mini album creation.  I explored lots of ideas on Pinterest and Youtube and there are two designer ideas that I want to try.  The first is Laura Denison's Foliope using any size envelope and glueing the top flap to each envelope (see below). The second is Kathy Orta's envelope mini that she made on Youtube a few years ago.  I find that most of the envelope mini's were made between 2011-12.  I am just now catching up!

Today I am sharing a mini album using 5 x 6 1/2 envelopes from Michael's, and My Minds Eye Kate & Co papers and chipboard pieces.

It's a girly album with magnets holding it closed. 

There is a magnet under the bow keeping the top flaps closed.

Opening the top flaps

The first flap is an envelop held closed by a beautiful brad and velcro.

Fold the next layer down and you see three envelopes with decorative edges.

The final layer opened barely fits on camera.

Inside the envelopes are several tags ready for photos.

You can see the little velcro piece to hold it closed.

I have lots of stickers and more chipboard pieces to add when I complete the album with my pictures.

Project Recipe:

• Tutorial - Laura Dennison Foliope
• Paper - My Minds Eye Kate & Co, Bazzill pink cardstock, Kraft card stock, Michaels' envelop and cards package
• Embellishments - Martha Stewart deep edge punch, Chipboard pieces, Stickers and brads, I used a circle punch to provide finger room to pull out the tags.
• Inks - Ranger Gathered Twigs

Hope you enjoyed my project share today. I have more envelope ides to try so be watching for the next project!

Have a scrap-happy day!
