Flip Box Album Instructions

I decided to try something different.  I wanted to include written cutting instructions.  Hope that you find them helpful.

                                               Flip Box Album Instructions


Instructions:

Scrapbook Paper:
   Cut 1 piece 8" X 8" to cover front chipboard cover.
   1 - 6 X 6 Paper pack
   extra cardstock for mats

Chipboard:
   Cut 2 pieces 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" (Cover 1 on the outside with the Scrapbook paper for your front cover.)
   Cut 4 pieces 6 1/4" X (Slightly smaller than) 1/2".
   Cut 2 pieces 6 3/16 X  (Slightly smaller than) 1/4".

Cardstock:
   Cut 4 pieces 6 1/4" X 7 1/2" and score on 7 1/2" side at 6 1/4" and 6 3/4".
   Cut 2 pieces at 6 3/16" X 7" and score on the 7" side at 6 1/8" and 6 3/8".
   Cut 2 pieces 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" one to cover outside back cover and slightly trim one to cover inside back          
          cover.

Cover outside of front chipboard with scrapbook paper.
Fold cardstock on score lines.  Apply tape to area after last score line on all cardstock pieces.  
Apply the 4 - 6 1/4" wide pieces around the edge of the back cover on the outside.  Then apply the two smaller pieces opposite each other on the inside of the back cover.  Apply covering for back and the trimmed piece on the inside of the back cover.  Apply the covered chipboard to one of the outer flaps.  Apply the small strips to the inside of each flip for added support.  Decorate as you like.

Flip Mini Album

Was playing around one night trying to make a different kind of mini album and this is what I came up with.
It was fun making it.  It was made on the order of the exploding box mini.  It is similar to one made by creativecafegirl on youtube.

Insert Mini Album

This is a wonderful and very easy mini that I found on youtube.  I saw it in "Angelwings14100" channel.  She did a great job with the tutorial with very good and clear instructions.  I just changed it up a little, I like the chipboard covers so I gave it a try and it came out great.

Just for Me Mini Album

I was so jealous of the mini I made for my husband that I had to make one for myself.  I like that it is filled with pictures and still have places for journaling.
