Here’s my latest mini album, Graffiti-themed this time! Meant for a young man turning 16 soon, his mother (my friend) asked me to create a paperbag mini for her son. It has been a while since I made these; I did a romantic shabby chic version and a Christmas version several years ago, and this Graffiti version has been the first one since.
This time I used some of the mixed media techniques I recently started adding to my papercraft repertoire – which added a whole new dimension of fun to working with design papers!
Last year I designed and created what I call a Box Pocket Mini Album, by which I mean a mini album that holds a special kind of pocket, large enough to hold a notebook, a personal planner, a mini folio or a large stack of pictures.
This week I’m sharing a variation on that album: this time the actual box pocket is in the back of the album instead of the front, and this album has a gatefold magnetic closure. It also has a different ‘do up’ of the inside front cover. Most of these different elements I borrowed from another design of mine, the Springtime Dreams Keepsake Album Deluxe.
I designed this second version of the Box Pocket album for Nora, a lovely lady from Munich (Germany), who commissioned the album as a way to keep her most important memories. You’ll find more details about her story and why she wanted the album in the video below. You’ll also understand why I’m calling this version Remember Me.
Since there already is a tutorial for the original Box Pocket album in my webshop (#33), I decided to add a free bonus cutting guideto that, containing the measurements for the different elements of this new Remember Me version. Anyone who already owns Tutorial #33 can simply go back to their Etsy purchases page and download the bonus cutting guide for free! (It’s just a cutting guide mind you, if you want actual instructions, please check out my Tutorial #10 for the Springtime Dreams album.)
Anyway, thank you for watching and feel free to leave a comment below, in the comment section! 🙂
