EASY 6" x 6" Flip & Fold Mini Album Photo Folio Tutorial

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my blog!

I designed this Flip & Fold Mini Album many years ago, but in a couple different sizes.... 5" x7" and 4" x 4".... and this one is a 6" x 6".  It is not complicated at all as you will see in my YouTube video tutorial 😊


You can get all of the measurements and instructions by clicking HERE to watch my video.

A heads up.... my tutorial is on how to make the album, but not how to add all the extras.  Everyone has their own style and may not be interested in what I added.  If you see something I added that you would like to learn how to make, just leave me a comment and let me know.  I might already have a video tutorial or can make a video in the future.

This album has pages and pockets for many pictures, journaling, and other things.  It's perfect for pictures of a specific event, like arrival of a baby, or a birthday, or vacation.  It is the perfect size for 4" x 4" photos, or 3" x 5" photos.

This album is easier than it looks.  I hope you stop by and watch😊


Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!!!

EASY Split Bow Card A2 Size

Hi everyone!  Welcome to my blog! 

Last week on my YouTube channel I did a tutorial on how to make a Split Bow card.  I chose to make it an A2 size, and horizontal.


It can also be turned vertically.

As you know, I do my tutorials in a YouTube video, and you can watch and follow along by clicking HERE

This card is easy to make even though it looks fancy.  The card base and layers are the same as you would do for your A2 size card.  The bow uses a 6" x 5" piece of double sided patterned paper.  You will also want something to put in the center, whether it's a die cut, piece of ephemera, or sentiment.  That is all you will need!  My video shows how to make the bow 😊

As always the products used are in the video description box, but today I'm also going to include here.

Cowgirl Up ephemera

This style card has so many possibilities! I hope you give it a try 😊


Thank you so much for stopping by!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!
