Want to learn how to make a mini album card? These cards are spectacular and and they are a wonderful gift on itself, but you can adapt to have a gift card holder, hidden messages, pictures, even a little calendar. As usual, you will find a video tutorial and a FREE PDF tutorial, that you can download, for convenience.

Have you seen the Happy Forest friends Suite? Let’s be honest, I am a sucker for anything forest/mountain related and whimsical stamps… so, this suite was one of those I chose to get right away! Stampin’Up! did a wonderful job at creating this designer series paper. It feels like it all matches so perfectly! The cute stamp set is just adorable and I absolutely love the dies as well. I am also using the Charming Sentiments Bundle. Remember that these are better as a bundle, as you will save 10%, and really who wants one without the other?

This card has a lot of steps, but in itself, it is not hard to make. Pretty straight forward pieces to be added to the card…

You will need:

• Card base is 5-1/2″ x 11″ piece in Mossy Meadow
• For the outside of the card:
  • Sahara Sand:
    • 2 piece measuring 5-3/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • 1 piece measuring 5-3/8″ x 2-3/8
  • Designer series paper
    • 2 piece measuring 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4
    • 1 piece measuring5-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
• The inside of the card has several areas as well… I am dividing them, to what makes sense to me, hopefully it makes sense to you. Don’t hesitate to contact me with question!
• Main Panel is almost a repeat of the previous measurements:
  • Sahara Sand:
    • 2 piece measuring 5-3/8″ x 3-7/8″
    • 1 piece measuring 5-3/8″ x 2-3/8
  • Designer series paper
    • 1 piece measuring 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4
    • 1 piece measuring 5-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
  • White cardstock
    • 1 piece measuring 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4
• Side flaps. Each flap has 2 panels on the front and 2 panels in the back, that I chose to decorate. Just remember, when you make this card it doesn’t have to be exactly like mine. 🙂
