Let’s create this Polaroid Mini Album in a Box

Mini Album Structure:

• The base of this mini album design is inspired by Polaroid cards and a box made from chipboard. For the box, I used 2mm thick chipboard and cut: (a) 4 pieces measuring 8.5 cm wide x 3.5 cm high and (b) 1 piece measuring 8.5 cm wide x 8.9 cm high (this will be the base of the box).
• We glue the pieces together to form the box, and once it’s dry, we attach the structure to the base piece we cut earlier.
• Once the box is ready, we choose two papers from the set to cover the exterior and interior.
• The decorative detail that serves as the “cover” of the box consists of: foam pieces from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Foam Stickers set + a foil paper piece cut with one of the dies from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Etched Dies – Memory Frames set + a chipboard piece from the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 12 Chipboard Stickers set + a phrase die-cut. Everything is layered using foam to create depth and dimension.
• The “pages” of the mini album will be Polaroids, which we’ll cut using the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – Etched Dies – Memory Frames set.

Decorative details:

• For the interior, I die-cut Polaroid frames using the Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection – 6 x 8 Paper Pad.
• After adding the photo to each frame, I cut a background from textured white cardstock. On this, I’ll add the journaling for each photo.
• I do this by typing the text on my computer and printing it. You can then attach the printed piece of paper using 3D foam for added dimension.
• I also added 3×4 cards and some tags as extra details.
• Once all the pieces are ready, it’s time to decorate! Now we get to mix and match all the wonderful products from this collection!

I think it turned out beautifully, and it’s the perfect mini album to make in an afternoon. Don’t you agree?
