This is a full walkthrough and page tutorial of my 8 1/2" album featuring Simple Stories Simple Vintage Essentials Color Palette. The album measures 8 1/2"X8 1/2" with a 2" spine. Be sure to watch the entire walkthrough at the beginning of this video for tips. Please note I made a couple of changes in the end when decorating as you will see in the walkthrough. I did the signature 5 side b a bit different than I show in the tutorial however you can do it either way.
Here is a video that shows how to attach the pocket pages to the album spine piece. It begins at approx. 32:50 in this tutorial

Thanks So Much!

[@SandyTrefger]

Gorgeous album! I love this paper collection and appreciate your detailed tutorial on making the page signatures. I would love to follow along one day and make this one! Just need more time!

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

Thanks! I hope you make and share!

[@carolynaderman5185]

OMG Jenn, I just love this album. I realize that the paper has alot to do with the overall look but I am the sort of maker/ designer that loves all the flips, flaps, pockets, waterfalls etc. incorporated into my albums and this album of yours has it all.

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

Thanks so much! I am the same way! Need all the interaction!

[@carolynaderman5185]

We have similar designing styles for sure, however, your designs are perfected!!!

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

@@carolynaderman5185 Your too sweet! I love your work as well!

BEAUTIFUL JENN! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks!

Beautiful project and great tutorial!🎉🎉🎉

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

Thanks!!

[@andredemers69]

I usually make the pages before I make the cover; never have the problem of having the pages toot close together. ;-)

[@kimbrewer8483]

I love how you did this album. Not so many embellishments. I think now I can think of what photos to put in it. Some of the other albums have so many embellishments that I hate to cover up the paper because they are too pretty to put a photo & journaling in. You did a gorgeous job!😁

[@kimbrewer8483]

I’m so glad I ordered this project!

[@kimbrewer8483]

The album is from Vintage Santa

[@kelliannoakey2050]

Is there a cutting guide for this project that I can print off? Beautiful project. You did an amazing job!!

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

Thanks! I do not have a cut guide for this but I do give all of the measurements in the tutorial. I hope that helps!

[@kimbrewer8483]

It doesn’t matter I can make it work.

[@raqueldeang2137]

Do you have a tutorial for this

[@kimbrewer8483]

Gosh what would we have done without magnets. Right!?😁

[@kimbrewer8483]

Sorry Jen I was wondering about the paper & how you decorated your album. I’ll look up that album & get the measurements.

[@kimbrewer8483]

You know Jen I’ll just ask Tamra because she was the one that was the designer on the 2024 daily so she probably would know. Thanks anyway.😁

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

Ohhh Kim I am sorry, I should have realized that is what you meant. I dont usually do tutorials of my decorating. I like to leave that for you to decorate in your own way.

[@kimbrewer8483]

@@JennDuBellDesigns that’s ok 👍 I’m still a newbie and am learning the ropes. I just thought you had made an album that size b4 & if that paper you were using would fit ok in my empty album. I’ll just try it & see. I love the way you decorated it too! It so simple & looks like the type of paper I can work with. I hope your allergies are better too. It’s a bad year for ticks too. So be careful.😁thx again!

[@gerialder5265]

Your album is stunning! Love it!

[@kimbrewer8483]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make this album?

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

This video starts with a walkthrough then goes to the tutorial. The album itself is done in the CCC "Lay-Flat" method linked in the description.

[@kimbrewer8483]

I watched the video which was wonderful. I just wondered if there was one. I can just keep replaying your video. No big deal. Thank you for responding back. I really appreciate it.😁

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

@@kimbrewer8483 Are you asking if there is a written tutorial?

[@kimbrewer8483]

Can you use the album we made for the Vintage Santa? I made an extra one & need to find a way to use it. Hopefully this would fit.

[@JennDuBellDesigns]

I am not sure which album that is. This is album measures 8 1/2"X 8 1/2" with a 2" spine.

[@letsgetscrappy2654]

@@JennDuBellDesigns she means the December Daily I believe. Kim you can add any paper to any style of album that you want that’s the beauty of Papercrafting ❤️ You could follow the colors Jenn did but that would prob be about it since the other one is a totally different design. 😉
