I came to you via Pinterest. I just love the ease and simplicity of this, and plan on using the base of your idea for making into a functional journal. Thanks for sharing your idea! I have subscribed to your channel.

Love it-definately going to try this one also-I did make an album from one of your tutorials before (my first ever) and it turned out so well that I was able to give it as a birthday gift to my sister in law -Thank you for showing your work and inspiring me to try new things :)

[@Dawnsinspirations]

+Dawn Pettitt Oh I am so pleased to hear you are enjoying my video tutorials and making some lovely projects and keepsakes to give as gifts. I believe everyone can do it with the right instructions. Happy Crafting Dawn x

[@lisettevial2629]

Thank you for this nice and quick project! I am definitely make one!

[@helenwyles2356]

Loving this album!!! Going to try it with smaller envelopes!

[@brendaclark2703]

LOVE THIS ALBUM, Thank you so much

[@lesliespeers2739]

Hi Dawn, nice to see you again! Love this book, so many possibilities from this. Many occasions this could be used for. One that comes to mind is trim a sliver off the envelope end to make an open pocket for a flip out photo mat or a pull out photo mat. This would add to the number of places for photos. Also the pockets and tags is a great idea also. Can you see my brain churning, lol... Hugs ~ L (it's on my to do list)

[@Dawnsinspirations]

+Leslie Speers I know Leslie, I have been on Hochanda TV and didnt want to put off newbie crafters, plus I only had a 10 minute demo window but as you say there are so many ways to add even more to this album and this is were it is great for you seasoned crafters too. Enjpy! x

[@lynnscraftycorner]

Hi Dawn. You have some fantastic projects. I love this one, but was wondering if it can be adapted to fold over again so it closes like your flip style mini scrapbook album (the one with the elephant on). If so, do you have a tutorial for one. Thank you. Lynn x

[@Canadian693]

Love this! Going to make some. TFS!

[@ilhamfes6209]

wow is beautiful

[@DaretoBeCreative]

very nice album! looks easy to make. tfs! Dawn

[@mareahmom]

O M G sooooooo making this TODAYYYYYYY..LOL Awesome, TFS. Hugs Mary

[@influentialolive]

possibly one of my Favorite mini's yet.. I can see it as a base, with A Lot of interactive parts...

[@boojay111]

as ever Dawn a great tutorial, looking forward to making these

[@henna696]

WOW, so nice. Thank you.

[@comedygumballmachine4748]

Loved this project & may just make a photo album of my Mother's doggie photos for her. I have a question though ~ What is the thickness of the patterned papers you used to cover each area? Was it card stock thickness or those thinner papers found in scrapbook paper books? Thanks for your time! :)

[@shreya4rocks]

Hey Dawn, this is amazing and very economical way of making a gate fold album..i will tag u in every creation i learn n make from ur videos..

[@gillianfarago4496]

Great tutorial, but I have to say I was having palpitations watching you glue and hide the lovely patterns! 🤣😂🤣

[@georganneanderson6242]

What a marvelous gatefold! And like you, I love these papers. Would you mind sharing the name of this KC paper?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

It is an old one and think it is called Blue Arwin. X

[@jackymcdonald1556]

Quick and easy to follow

[@therealasil4114]

This is so cute and so fast! What size pictures fit in this album? 4x6 Could you make the envelopes open to add tags or will that be difficult because it's a gate fold?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

Hello Lisa, yes it will hold 6x4 photos. This was made for a demo on Hochanda TV to show a different way of using cards and envelops, it was only a 10 minutes demo but yes you can quite easily make it interactive with pockets and tabs do however, bear in mind you may have to make a thicker spine/cover to support the extra size. I will try and do a video when I get some spare time. x

[@therealasil4114]

Dawns Inspirations Thank you for such a quick and helpful response!! I really do appreciate it

[@jackymcdonald1556]

Thank you for recommending this tutorial the album is great many thanks

[@loriseabrook1906]

Wow! You made me feel I can make one! TY!!

[@Dawnsinspirations]

+Lori Seabrook Yes you can Lori, go on give it ago! Dx

[@2352anne]

Love this tutorial Tfs.💕

[@leighanntaylor1191]

love this!! but my cards are a tad smaller that my envies. what do you suggest?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

This is correct all cards are a tad smaller than the envelopes or the cards would not fit inside. So you can make this just like me. Enjoy! X

[@barbaraalexander4817]

Hi Dawn Will have time to do several of these TFS hugs barb

[@rajazarifarajaabidin7096]

LOVE!!

[@sandmv1]

Hello Dawn I was wondering if there is a way to make this mini with the photos being placed horizontally instead of vertically.?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

+sarah C I am sure there is and I will try and do this on my next card show on Hochanda TV. x

[@janicewalters5938]

Wow love this tutorial

[@Canadian693]

I tried to make this but ended up using smaller cards and envelopes. Here in Canada we do not have A4 paper, so I used 8-1/2 by 11. Still found I had to cut it down to fit, but in the end it was okay. Have to figure out the proper measurements before I do another one. Thanks.

[@sandmv1]

+Marieville55 A4 measurments 210 x 297 mm and 8.3 x 11.7 in

[@nicolenormand6407]

+Marieville55 There are tons of website that sell A4 paper; one that comes to mind is scrapbook.com; settled in the USA but they do ship in Canada.

[@katherineperez7624]

i love it! thanks

[@leighanntaylor1191]

so the cards and envelopes are from two different sizes? my envelopes are 4 5/16 x 61/2. if my measurements are right I need to make my cards 5 3/16 x 6 1/2. sorry for all the questions. I have a big bundle of card and envelope sets that I am trying to find a different use for them.

[@Dawnsinspirations]

Yes they are from two different size card packs. If you watch the video you will see I go through the card and envelope sizes at the beginning. I use 6 of the A6 envelopes and 2 of the 5x7 card blanks plus I sheet of A4 Cardstock. Just take you time and pause the video so you can check your measurements with mine. I hope this helps? X

[@yourscrapattack]

Is there perhaps a place to find written measurements? Super love your papers and mini.

[@Dawnsinspirations]

I dont tent to do written instructions for my Free Video Tutorialsas it does take time but when you purchase my Paid Online Workshops you get a Written PDF as well as a suite of separate videos. I like to make my projects accessible for crafters of all levels and budgets.

[@nanangrandaelliott2810]

absolutely love it have you got a 6x6 envelope tutorial 😊

[@Dawnsinspirations]

I am afraid not but you would make it the same and just adjust your cover size. You may have to get A£ cardstock for this as your back cover will be just over 12" long.

[@letellier1990]

Hi Dawn, I know you mentioned what type of glue you used for your mini album could you please spell that for me . Thank you

[@Dawnsinspirations]

+letellier1990 Yes no problem at all. I have use Collall All Purpose Glue. x

[@mrsmiriade]

Can you make the envelopes into pockets fot tags?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

You certainly can Virgina, this was one of my TV Demos so had to be a quick make in 10minutes. I have tutorials for interactive page mini albums using cards and envelopes and lots of pockets and tags. Dx

[@k9drwho1970]

whats the matt in your scoreboard and where did you get it please. many thanks sebastian

[@Dawnsinspirations]

I use a Scor-Pal Craft Mat which I got from the internet years ago and fits perfectly.

[@hankleberry4656]

where do you get the board you put on top the scoreboard?

[@Dawnsinspirations]

Mine is years old. It is the mat that goes on top of The ScorPal. I would do a search online. X

[@hankleberry4656]

Thanks Dawn I will do that. I love the album, it is on my to do list :)

[@craftingplaylists863]

Don’t always know the A 4 and all those measurements need true measurements...😇

[@christinethomas8484]

Brilliant watched it on hochanda X

[@rosaliedavila892]

Hi D awn what is the size

[@Dawnsinspirations]

I used 5 x7 envelopes in the video but you can use any size envelopes just change the size of the back piece of Cardstock to fit.

[@marisolestherlagosgrados763]
