Ephemera Queen Double Mini Album

What's better than one mini album? Two put together to make a bigger one! This tutorial will show you how to transform two Graphic 45 ATC Tag & Pocket albums into a single album using chipboard and paper-covering techniques. You'll learn how to incorporate a magnetic closure, how to create a large pocket in the back, and clever ways to layout the pages for a fun and cohesive look, with lots of little designer tips along the way.

I love this!! I also love how you plan it out before gluing everything down. I just started journaling, and I love a plan, too! Thank you for sharing!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Tina! You just gotta have a plan in place. I don't know how else I could do it. I'm sure there are others out there who can easily whip things together, but I'm more of a planner. I hope you're enjoying the craft. It's so rewarding. Thanks for watching!

[@debwentworth753]

I just love this!💕 could you tell me what kind of glue you use? Your albums are always so pretty and flawless 💝

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

Hi what kind of glue is that and would the album be as strong w white craft glue like the glitter glue or the green bear glue. I also have Simon Says Stamp tacky glue and I have Gina K glue. Just curious. I usually use the double sided tape from Elizabeths Crafts and I add glue to. that to give time to move things around w the tape and white glue. I also have bookbinding glue but its so sticky and it is a real mess. But it's archival. Love this album its fabulous!!!!!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

For a really strong hold, I use Beacon’s 3-in-1 glue. But I think those combinations you mentioned would work fine.

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

@@AnnetteGreen Thanks so much for showing how to alter already made albums bc for me it feels less daunting. I am so excited to try the glue you used it seemed less messy than the white glue. 😀

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

@@AnnetteGreen I have not been able to find glue that dries matte. It seems like it should be readily available but most of the glues I have dry glossy. I wish there was a glue that dried invisible like matte medium or collage medium but those are very thick.

[@AnnetteGreen]

@@bethdelmonte-catanese6925 Art Glitter Glue dries clear (make sure you buy the one that indicates that). Some people find it holds quite strongly. I haven't tried using it for something like this project myself, so I can't swear to it.

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

@@AnnetteGreen thanks so much!!!

[@crschwartz380]

Awesome are you going to have a write tutorial for this project?

[@AnnetteGreen]

No, not for this one since I just provided this video. Sometimes I have to make the decision to do one or the other, but not usually both.

[@kandeekane1]

Is there a part 1 to this tutorial? This video starts out with all the waterfalls already completed. So why wasn't any of that shown?

[@AnnetteGreen]

Hi! If you go back and watch the video from the beginning, when I’m showing the supplies needed, you’ll see that I used two mini album. I didn’t create any waterfalls. Then you’ll see when I begin the tutorial, I join the two albums. Maybe you were scrubbing ahead and missed it?

[@kandeekane1]

@@AnnetteGreen i watched from the beginning. Are you using an already made album. All the videos I've watched people have made the albums from scratch. Which means they use chip board and cover it with paper. They create the pages, flips and waterfalls themselves.

[@AnnetteGreen]

@@kandeekane1 Already made album, as I show in the supplies at the beginning.

[@tanajenecke8279]

What dimension is the chipboard base?

[@AnnetteGreen]

I believe I give the dimensions around 3:40 . If that’s not what you’re asking, let me know.
