As promised I have the tutorial for the Fancy Pants Pumpkin mini album from last weeks blog post. The album was made using the Summer's End collection.

Cut template: 

Resize to suit your preferred album size.

Step #1~

Trace pumpkin shapes in cardstock for inner covers & patterned paper covers for the outside covers.

Step #2~

Cut out center panel & edge in darker patterned paper for interest. Stitch x3 panels together.

Step #4~ 

Stick the inner cover to the outer cover.

Step #5~ 

Decorate cover as desired.

Step #6~

Score a 12x4" piece of paper, or wide enough to 'fit' your pages, at 1/2" intervals.

Step #7~

Squash concertina together.

Step #8~

Prepare your inside pages. I stitched the Journal cards onto cardstock for strength & stuck them back to back. Decorate.

Step #9~

Slip the pages each into their own fold & glue shut. NB: to miss a fold in between each page.

Step #10~

Press pages together, making sure they line up with each other perfectly for neatness. Open end folds & glue to end page.

Step #11~

Cut x4 +-1x 3.75" for binding purposes.

Step #12~ 

Glue strips evenly spaced along spine of booklet as binding.

Step #13~

To assemble mini album, adhere decorative covers to first & last 'pages'.

Step #14~

Back cover can be as plain or detailed as you want. I left mine plain.

You are all done!!

Here is a peak inside one of the pages.

I sure hope you have found this helpful! If you make one remember to link me up to your project, I'd love to see what you create!
