hi everyone Anette ker here with a new
0:15
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:17
show you how to make a really easy mini
0:20
album that maybe has an unexpected
0:24
shape this is how it
0:27
looks so let's make it it you have a
0:31
link to all the measurements The Cutting
0:34
guide and the instructions in the
0:36
description under the video you can go
0:38
ahead and download it and then you'll
0:40
know what pieces to cut to join me in
0:42
making this mini album so we're going to
0:45
start with our first piece we're going
0:47
to score
0:48
it at 3 and 7/8 7 and 78 and 8 and of
0:54
course like I said you have all those
0:57
measurements in The Cutting guide in the
1:00
Link in the description under the video
1:01
go ahead click the link and then you'll
1:04
have everything you need to know I'm
1:08
using double-sided card stock for this
1:11
one because both of the sides of the
1:15
paper are going to be visible so you
1:20
need to work with a double-sided card so
1:23
you could work with a solid color and
1:25
then cover it with papers there are no
1:28
measurements for that
1:31
so this is our first piece the second
1:34
piece we are going to bring in and we're
1:37
going to score it at 8 and 1 half sorry
1:41
at 4 and 4 and
1:49
A4 and then we're going to fold
1:58
it so we're going to score that on the
2:01
long
2:05
side creating a little
2:15
spine okay that's our second piece the
2:19
third
2:23
piece this is going to go like this okay
2:27
so the second piece
2:30
the sorry the third piece we're going to
2:33
score it on the long side at four 4 and
2:39
38 8 and 38 so three score
2:46
lines these are all papers from the same
2:48
collection so they all
2:50
match so again we're going to score this
2:53
piss at four 4 and 38 and 8 and 38 so
2:57
this piece is really like how it looks
3:00
with the
3:02
flowers I'm going to fold each piece
3:05
after I score
3:10
it so it will be
3:13
easier later when I assemble the mini
3:19
album so for our fourth
3:25
piece just making sure that everything
3:28
matches our fourth piece we're going to
3:31
score again on the long side at 3 and
3:35
1/2 7 and 1/2 and
3:43
eight I'm using a scoreboard but you can
3:47
use a
3:48
trimmer to align your score lines or
3:51
even just a ruler and a pencil if you
3:54
don't
3:55
have a trimmer or
3:58
scoreboard
4:00
going to fold all the score
4:07
lines and the idea of this mini album is
4:10
the smaller the shape the outer it is
4:14
going to make sense in a minute so our
4:16
fifth piece we're going to score it on
4:18
the long
4:20
side at four and four and
4:26
58 and we're going to turn it like this
4:29
and then score it at 4 and
4:34
8 and again you have all the
4:37
measurements in The Cutting guide how to
4:40
cut it
4:42
exactly so
4:44
[Music]
4:45
four and
4:50
eight sorry this is four and 58s and
4:55
four and eight are going to go
4:57
horizontally sorry about that
5:04
so this is the four score Line This is
5:07
the
5:08
eight score
5:11
line and then on the left here the
5:14
vertical lines are four and four and
5:17
5/8 sorry about
5:24
that okay so this is the piece that is
5:28
again
5:31
the further along you
5:32
go than the outer the parts are we're
5:36
going to build it from the inside out
5:38
instead of the other way around then our
5:41
next piece is going to look like this
5:43
we're going to score it at
5:45
four and 4 and
5:51
3/4 and I actually should have cut off
5:54
the left
5:56
part which I didn't
6:00
but it is updated in your cutting guide
6:04
so your shape will just look like a long
6:08
piece of paper it won't be like it's on
6:11
mine so for the strip we're going to
6:13
score it at 3 and8 4 8 and 8 and
6:19
7/8 so four score
6:23
lines so that's done for all the
6:28
scoring
6:31
going to fold everything this is the
6:35
band that ties everything together at
6:38
the end that closes the mini
6:43
album now we're going to assemble the
6:46
mini
6:48
album a lot of pieces but it's not too
6:51
complicated so you're going to take the
6:53
first piece this is going to be on the
6:57
inside with the Spong line turning to
7:00
the right and then you're going to apply
7:04
glue to the second piece on the
7:12
inside and then attach it to the
7:18
bottom
7:19
of the first piece on the
7:23
outside so basically what you need to do
7:26
is attach it to the
7:28
bottom
7:31
and then make sure it is aligned in the
7:33
center like this because it is smaller
7:36
than the first piece so we want to make
7:39
sure that it is completely
7:41
aligned with the first
7:44
piece and that you see it is centered
7:48
like
7:51
this now we're going to bring our third
7:58
piece and we're going to align that to
8:01
the bottom as well so this is this piece
8:04
we're going to first create a pocket so
8:08
we're going to apply glue on the top and
8:10
the bottom of that little flap on the
8:12
right and then attach it to the inside
8:14
like
8:16
this to create a
8:19
pocket and then we're going to apply
8:24
glue to the part where there is no
8:27
pocket on the left apply glue to that
8:30
entire surface entire
8:33
area and then attach it again to the
8:37
bottom of the mini album on the back
8:40
side making sure it is aligned with the
8:43
center so we're want to flip the mini
8:48
album so we'll see the back side of
8:52
it and then we are going to attach
8:58
that
9:00
so this is the front then this is the
9:05
back again we aligning with the center
9:09
this is the back I remind you this is
9:11
the back side of the mini album this is
9:13
the
9:15
front so we attach all the pieces to the
9:18
back side
9:20
underneath and you see there is a lot of
9:22
room to add more papers embellishments
9:24
and photos so our next piece opens like
9:28
this
9:30
and we are going to apply
9:33
glue to the right side only from the
9:38
fold line from the score line to the
9:41
edge we're going to apply glue to that
9:45
entire
9:46
area and then again flip the mini album
9:49
so we can attach it to the back
9:53
side this is the front I'm going to flip
9:58
it and then attach
10:01
it to the back side aligning it with the
10:07
center starting to make
10:13
sense so this was wrong it should go
10:17
like this this is the direction every
10:20
time we open a page it opens to the a
10:23
different direction to the opposite
10:24
direction so make sure of
10:27
that so I'm aligning it with with the
10:29
center don't worry if there's a little
10:31
bit of glue it dries clear and by the
10:33
way this is a really good opportunity to
10:37
mention that you should use liquid glue
10:40
it will be easier so this part
10:44
has the flaps on the right so we apply
10:47
glue on the
10:50
left and since the previous piece open
10:53
to the left this one will need to be
10:55
open to the
10:56
right again we attach it to to the back
11:02
side like
11:04
this let's flip it to make sure that it
11:07
is
11:11
centered isn't that a really cool mini
11:14
album okay so for a final piece like I
11:17
said I should have cut it I didn't so
11:20
I'm just going to use it as it is but
11:22
you will cut it The Cutting
11:26
guide has the right cutting and
11:29
measurements so it should be the same
11:33
height and not the big piece on the back
11:37
so I screwed it up a little bit but
11:39
that's
11:40
fine just ignore this part
11:43
just cut it all on the same
11:47
height score the same way and then you
11:50
will attach it while it's aligned in the
11:52
center like
11:55
before cuz now I'm covering that really
11:58
pretty effect that that I have on the
12:00
back side but that's
12:01
fine as long as the front is okay and it
12:08
is I just forgot to cut that
12:12
piece and then finally you have your
12:15
strip that goes around the mini album to
12:17
close it and secure
12:20
it the next part is of course to
12:23
embellish your mini album add whatever
12:26
you want to it you can add photos you
12:28
can add photo
12:31
mats we attach the Strip by applying
12:34
glue to the center and then attach it to
12:37
the back like we did all the other
12:41
parts again it should be aligned with
12:43
the center between the top and the
12:47
bottom and then you have plenty of room
12:49
to fill the mini album and make it
12:56
bulkier just making sure it is aligned
13:01
Isn't that cool I really like how this
13:03
turned out now I want to show you how it
13:06
looks when it is completely embellished
13:09
I've just added pieces here and
13:16
there not too
13:20
many just uh some
13:22
matting
13:25
and add a little pocket there with a
13:28
butterfly
13:30
fly at this point it is completely up to
13:33
you how you want to this is the pocket
13:35
that we made how you want to embellish
13:38
your mini album how many photos you want
13:40
to add to it added a little flap
13:44
here and then here we have all the
13:50
flaps again you have all the
13:53
measurements in The Cutting guide for
13:55
that you just attach them one by
13:58
one or you can just put a photo in there
