Thank you for your tutorial. I have not seen a cover made this way. Love the way it looks.

I'm glad to hear you learned something new and hope you will give it a try!

Wow, wow, wow! I have been considering this collection and your tutorial just sealed the deal. Thank you so much for inspiring me to create this album. It is truly stunning and will make a perfect gift!

So glad you found the video helpful :) the papers are so pretty and you’ll love working with them

Kristine, this mini book is stunning. You have outdone yourself. Do I need both size paper p acts to complete this, if so, how much is left over. Could I possibly just use the 12x12 paper pad?

[@KristineDesignsHandmade]

I used the 8x8 paper pad since it’s smaller. The 12x12 will be too large so you’ll need to make the actual album larger if that’s what you’re using. I did use some of the 12x12 patterns and solids for the cover. There was paper leftover for sure!

Thanks again for such a thorough video. Can you provide the thickness of your chip board.

[@KristineDesignsHandmade]

The chipboard I use is 50pt and I get it from eBay in 8.5" x 11" sheets. It comes in various packs (25, 50, 100 sheets)

I really enjoyed the tutorial. Please can you advise what weight the Graphic 45 paper is?

[@KristineDesignsHandmade]

I think Graphic 45 paper is 190 gsm

Hi Kristine…I’m in the process of making this amazing album. I’m at the part where you have cut 3 separate pieces for attaching the pages. Is there exact measurements and scoring marks somewhere? I didn’t receive any paper instructions.. thank you for your help 😊

[@KristineDesignsHandmade]

Check out the cutting guide on the Graphic 45 blog (g45papers.com/12-month-mini-album-tutorial/) under Cutting Guide for the Cover, the last three pieces are the hinges. I hope that helps!
