- Welcome to my very first full mini album tutorial! YAY!
This is a 6 ½” x 6 ½” interactive mini album featuring papers from Echo Park. The original album was made using the “hello Valentine” collection and this tutorial was made using the “winter” collection. Both beautiful in their own right!
AND….I have a very exciting announcement…. I started a companion Blog page to go along with my new CZcams channel! Eeek!
There, you can find free PDF cutting guides for all of my projects (though this is the first and only one so far, lol!)
Thank you ALL so very much for your kindness and encouragement. I would have never thought to even try making a CZcams tutorial let alone setting up a channel and a website.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them in the comments section below, or you can email me using the link on my webpage.
I’m so excited to be sharing ideas and projects with you, my crafty friends, and hope you all find beauty in your journey, wherever it may take you.

Thank you for sharing, please don’t change the method of your tutorials, it’s so informative and well thought , I watch a lot of tutorials and yours are by far my favorites, thank you so much and god bless 💜🙏🏽
Thank you so very much, Belkis! I truly appreciate your kindness and helpful feedback.
I hope you are having a lovely day.
((hugs))
✨🌻✨🌻✨
@@CraftingCreatingWithCaroline I’m binge watching your videos, can’t get enough 😆💜
@@belkisrivera2186 oh my goodness, you are so kind. Thank you. ✨
You can do a partial cut with your die. Leave the fold edge uncovered by the cutting plate.
Hi, Maria!
Yes! That works really well.
In the instance of the snowflake opening, however, the shape is cut from the die but the opening is an enlarged version of the original die as a matting. I didn’t have a larger or “nested” die so I had to fussy cut around it. If you have nesting dies you can certainly overhang the cutting edge at the fold and cut accordingly.
Thanks for the great comment.
✨🌻✨🌻✨
This is such a beautiful album! You’ve inspired me to start one that for sure I know will not look like yours, but I’ll attempt it
Caroline!!!! I am so excited. It took me 4 on and off days but I followed along with your video and just made my first, completely from scratch, photo album for my daughter and I am just thrilled!! Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. I can't wait to do it again for my sons
Yay!!!! Congratulations!!!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. I’m *thrilled* to hear that you enJOYed making your first album. 💖
Well done, indeed!
Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. I’m truly grateful.
((hugs))
I’ve been crafting for 50 +/- years. I cannot think of a project I haven’t made a mistake on. 😂😂😂. Knowing, or figuring out, how to correct the project is part of the fun of creating. You get the feeling of accomplishment multiple times on one project. 😂🥰
Yes!!! You are so right, Jean.
Nothing beats the feeling of successfully problem solving. It’s great when a project comes together with ease, but I feel so much pride when I’ve been able to fix my mistakes along the way.
✨✨✨
Sometimes I like my mistakes better and I learn from most.
Mistakes can add to our creativity
Love the tiny twist and pop , leaves room for photos on the page . Thankyou for your time .
Thanks so much, Toni! It’s one of my favorite elements to add for that very reason. I’m glad to hear that you like it, too.
Thanks for watching.
✨🌻✨🌻✨
Caroline, sooo happy I found your channel. Very new to this paper crafting but love mini albums.. Your tutorial is awesome.,Will be going to website to find cutting guides. Thank you!!!
Yay! It’s so nice to meet you!
Thanks so much for introducing yourself. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions. And welcome to the wonderful world of papercrafting!
((hugs))
✨🌻✨🌻✨
Great job! I'm inspired to try a baby album using some of your ideas, THANKS FOR SHARING!❤ I am now subscribed😊
Beautiful book! Thank you
Amazing!! Great job!
Excellent instructions I am impressed. They are easy to read, understand and carry out.
If you put the two little flaps from the left side of the slider "envelope" to the back instead of inside they won't cause the slider to hang up at the end of the slide. The flaps would be covered when you add the piece that covers the magnet.
I've been making albums for about a year but you have some really great techniques. I was watching youtube for a video and you just "Popped Up" next and I'm so happy you did. Thank you for all the new info for my albums. My brother make me a bone folder out of a chew bone from the pet store it is really cool but really sharp so can't use it for everything. Thx agin.
Oh love the spine idea... will try this today.
I decided to watch the whole video because I kept having more comments... main comment is "WOW!!!" I learned so much watching this. So happy to have found your channel. Thx again now off to make the truck slider for my sister's album. Happy New Year...
Yay! I’m so happy to meet you, Aryka!
Your bone folder sounds amazing!
This was my very first tutorial. I have a more recent one that goes into better detail on the hinge/spine construction that you may find helpful. Here’s the link:

Thanks, again, for your very kind and encouragement comments.
((hugs))
✨✨✨
How wonderful!
Feel free to tag me if you post pics of your sister’s album. I love celebrating crafty makes with others.
Wishing you and your family a very Healthy, Blessed, and Joyful 2023!

You did a great job for your first tutorial!!! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us💕
Aww…thank you so much, Mary! 🥰
I really appreciate your feedback.
Hope you have a great evening.
(hugs)
☺️
This is so cute, and your cutting guides are amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that for us- it drives me crazy to have to stop and start the video all the way through it while I'm trying to write down sizes. You couldn't have made those guides any easier- and we love you for it! ❤❤❤
This is beautiful! Good job! I watch everything you do! So nicely presented and easy to follow! 👍❄️
You did an amazing job with the album and the video tutorial. I totally felt like I was crafting with one of my girlfriends. God bless you on your journey. I will absolutely be following you.
Thank you so much, Annmarie! I’m so happy to be your crafting friend! 😁🥰
Thank you very much absolutely gorgeous❤ I can't wait to make one for my granddaughter Peace and blessings to you and your family🙏💜🕯
Awww! Thank you so much!
Your granddaughter will love it!
Thank you for your kind and encouraging feedback! Wishing you and yours a very blessed holiday season.
((hugs))
✨✨✨
This is the best tutorial ever!! ❤ I will have to figure out how to watch it on repeat! I love it! I would have never ever thought this was your first tutorial! Great job!! ❤
I have just finished making this beautiful album. I used my favourite colour as the theme! PURPLE! Thank you for these great instructions.
Great techniques !
Great little album Caroline !!! Don't sweat over a few mistakes..golly..we all make them and you handled it like a pro..best part..everything cooperated !! I love the way that you do the complete page..embellishing and all before moving on. Not many designers do that anymore. Looking forward to your next projects !!
Thank you, Carolyn! I really appreciate your feedback. I wasn’t sure if I should have edited out my little blunders but I figured someone may find it helpful to see that it’s fixable, lol! I have seen a lot of people decorate at the end….I guess my brain works a little differently in that way. I’m sort of visualizing as I go so it seems natural to put the whole picture together. 🤷🏻♀️😄 Making this tutorial has helped me understand a lot about my own creative process.
Thanks, again. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
I love your channel. You are so creative and crafty. You are one of the best tutorialists I've seen on CZcams. You may even be my new favorite! You have such great ideas and explain them so well. I will definitely watch often.
Congratulations! A wonderful tutorial! Got to start somewhere and you can pat yourself on the back for a fantastic job! I look forward to seeing what else you create! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Sonya. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement. 🥰
Your video is FANTASTIC! I’m going to have to make this album! You make it look so easy! Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Caroline, I just discovered your channel a little while ago and I am going back and watching all your videos. You do wonderful work! This is a great little album and your tutorial is very easy to follow. You do a great job explaining how and why you do the things you do. I very much enjoyed this video and I will be making this album soon. Thank you!
Yay! This makes my heart so happy! Thank you, Tosca. Truly. I’m so grateful.
((hugs))

You do great albums and tutorials.
Wonderful album and tutorial. I loved the way you did the decorating on your album in the tutorial, and how you explained how to do the different techniques. You did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to see your next video.

Such a sweet album! Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial ❤
Great first video tutorial, Caroline. I really like your teaching style so I subscribed. I am looking forward to more walkthroughs and tutorials. I hope to see larger albums, especially the one you did to show the lay flat cover and your hinge. I love that you explain so well why and how you are doing techniques. Congrats on your CZcams channel and your blog.
Thank you so much, Vesta. 😄🥰
Thank you for sharing this turned out adorable
Thanks so much, Brenda.

I think you will love it. I had to come up with something that was mistake proof for me. 🤣
I’m returning to crafting after about 15 years or so and I’m so glad I found you , Thankyou for the cutting guides as it’s so much easier cutting and then following along with you
Yay!!! I’m soooo happy you have found them helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your kind feedback.

Love this album. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thank you, Beth! ☺️
Thank you for the tutorial! I am making a Valentines one
You are very welcome. I'm so happy you like it. Thanks a bundle, Sharon!
This is such a brilliant way to add pages to the hinge. I was taught the method where you attach Scor tape to both sides of the hinge and then slide the page on. Even when I only peeled an inch of the Scor tape off on just one hinge to get my placement it never worked out and made me want to never make an album this way. That is dumb because some albums need hinges.
I see how well this works for a top loading pocket. But for side loading pockets I think I am back to the sliding the page onto the top of the hinge method. But I might be missing something.
Thank you, Claudia.🌻
Yes! I had the same issue. It’s nearly impossible for me to get them aligned using the method you described.
I’d seen a few people add pages in this way and it just made so much more sense to me.
As far as a side pocket option for this, you can do it in a couple of ways:
1) make a “faux pocket page” by adding a pocket to the page. I’ve done this by adding a piece of paper with 1/2” scored and folded at the top and bottom directly onto the page. You can then glue the open end at the hinge, or (what I prefer) you can slip another page into that opening at the hinge to create an additional flap or “faux page.” You just have to give 1/16” - 1/8” space from the hinge to allow for the extra bulk.
2.) you can add a single side to the hinge (6 1/4 x 6 1/4) then add a 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 page scored at 1/2” on each end of the 7 1/4” side to that 6 1/4 x 6 1/4 page. I hope that makes sense?
Thanks, again, for your kind and thoughtful feedback.
((hugs))🌻
Beautiful project!! Love it!!
Yay! Thank you, Diane!!! 🥰
You said this is your very first video? Wow it look very professional to me. Just a suggestion. Before you start recording look thru the lens of the camera and place your cut mat right in the middle
Make sure you see all the corners and mark them with tape that way your work will be in frame. New subby for you.thank you for sharing you made me want to make a mini from scratch again thank you.
Oh! That’s a fantastic idea. Thank you!
I’d like to think I’ve improved since this first one, but I clearly still have much left to learn, lol! Thanks so much for your feedback. I love learning from others. 🌸🌻✨
I love it 💕
Thanks so much, Annette! 🌸

Thanks, again. 🥰
Love it, thank you 😍 you just made the twist and pop easy to understand👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How did you make the cutting guide? What program? Hugs from Denmark ❤️
Thanks so much!
And, you are most welcome.
I use the Pages application that came with my MacBook to make the cutting guide. I simply insert a spreadsheet format and enter the details accordingly.
When making the diagram for the sliding element, I used the drawing feature in Pages as well...I know there are more appropriate applications, but it is the one I know so I used it, lol!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment.
I am truly grateful for your support of my channel.
Hope you are having a wonderful day, sweet friend.

@@CraftingCreatingWithCaroline thank you, always support a crafter who takes the time to share great tutorials ❤️ have a great Day too 🤗🤗🤗
Constructive criticism here with love… I honestly almost quit watching this video because of how llloooonnng your opening was. Although it was very cute and I honestly liked it it’s not why I clicked on your video and when people have a limited window of utube time in our busy lives I don’t want to spend 5 min watching snap shots of random things. Not meant to be mean I promise just don’t want u loosing views because it was a good video. ❤
Thanks, Ashlie.
I agree. This was my very first tutorial video on YT and I’ve learned a lot since then, lol!!
Thanks for watching and for offering your thoughts. I really appreciate your feedback.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
((hugs))
✨✨✨
Also, My intro was 1 minute, lol! 5 minutes would be really excessive. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, again, for the feedback.
I know it wasn’t really 5 min silly.. it just felt like 5 min. Lol. I didn’t realize it was your first video and I didn’t immediately watch another one if ur videos so I didn’t realize you had already figured it out. 😉my post was really out of love because I did enjoy your video but I did almost not watch it and just didn’t want you to miss out on views. I would never post anything with the intent on being mean.
Oh, I fully understood that your comment was uninformed and exaggerated…I’m not doing this for views or likes, I’m doing this because it brings me joy. Backhanded compliments and clumsily veiled insults are not welcome, Claudia.
It is not silly to set boundaries.
I have been watching several of your videos and having so much fun! I decided to make this one first. I'm trying to choose which cutting guide matches this video. You have two 6.5 books listed in the cutting guide section on your blog. One has a beachy cover and the other has snowflakes on the cover. Which one should I use? Thank you!
Silly me, I found it! I had a blonde moment lol I'm so excited about making a 'dog' themed album for my niece and this is a great album!
Oh, good! So sorry for the delay in replying…my work schedule has been insane and I’m only just now seeing this.
Thank you so much, Carole.
I hope you are having a fantastic day!

Scroll down to the section on “cutting guides” and it is the first one there.
Let me know if you have any questions. I’m always happy to hear from my crafty friends! 🥰
Brilliant! So this technique is different from Kathy's "patented" hidden hinge version correct? I want to do tutorials too but don't want to get caught up anything. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you, Lisandra. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I’ve never heard of any patented hinge…this is a simple hinge that can either be glued directly onto the spine or attached using the extra attachment piece I made in the video. 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t see any reason you couldn’t make tutorials. There are hundreds of crafters making some version of what I shared in tutorials every day. I think sharing our individual techniques is really helpful. I learn a lot from seeing how others do things and often am able to tweak it slightly or adapt it to fit my own style.
There are many versions, I’m sure, but this is just what works for me. 🥰
@@CraftingCreatingWithCaroline loved you video will subscribe.
The hinge she refers to is similar to yours, but the lady that first used it. Made a big deal about it coming out saying that she had come out with the " hidden hinge" and said she lost her invention cus everybody was using it.
And she did other things styles and end it pattending them .
Thanks, Lilly! It’s nice to meet you! 😃
I looked it up…If I understand correctly, the “hidden hinge” is one that has wings that glue onto the front and back covers??? I keep my hinges in the spine, so I guess that’s at least one key difference??? 🤷🏻♀️Not sure
Thanks, again, for the feedback.
Hope you are having a fantastic day!

I have a quick question about your lay flat method that you use on your albums. I have done an album this way and I really like it. My question is.. can you wrap the spine in a faux leather or some other fabric? I was afraid that gluing the fabric in place might interfere with the hinge since the spine is connected to the inside of the front and back covers and not the outside.
Hi, Kristen!
Great question. When using Tamra Merrill’s Lay Flat method, you can either attach the “wings” of the spine attachment on the inside or the outside of the front and back covers. I am assuming you want to wrap the spine with leather or fabric so that it partially covers the covers, too? If so, I would attach the wings of the spine to the outside. Here’s a “compare and contrast” video I made showing a traditional construction and both ways to use Tamra’s method here:
czcams.com/video/aupmYEYM_8M/video.html
I hope that helps.
And thanks, again, for a great question.
Amazing !! Great tutorial !! What is the tool called that you used to do the corners on your cover ?
Hi, Janice!
I’m so glad you liked it. 🥰
I forgot to link the mitering tool in the notes. Thank you for reminding me!

Thank you so much ! 😀
Hi again! Wondering if you could give some tips on how and what you used to create the front cover shaker element! Did you use a chipboard piece and cut out the center? Too cute!
Hi, @scrappinsilly! Thanks so much!
I used a piece of chipboard and cut out a frame, then wrapped the frame with patterned paper, attached a piece of acetate on the underneath side of the frame, used double sided foam tape on the acetate around the underneath side of the frame to build up a space, then I added shaker elements (glitter, sequins, etc…) on top of the acetate/inside of the frame/foam tape.
Set that aside, cut a piece of card stock the same size as the outside of your frame and center a sentiment or cut apart (I used the “winter weather is better together” sentiment in the collection and matted it with navy artisan cardstock before gluing it to my cardstock that was cut to the same size as the outside of the frame.) Once you have the frame element and the backing element completed, you remove the backing from the double sided foam tape and place the backing piece on top. I can do a quick tutorial on it if you like?
Well those are certainly great directions, but if you have the time, I and I’m sure many others would find that very helpful!!!! 😄❤️ That will be my 1st shaker!!!!☺️👍🏻
Thanks, @scrappinsilly! I’m happy to make a shaker tutorial. 😄
My daughter’s birthday is this weekend so it may be the first part of next week before I can post it, though.
Thanks, again. I really appreciate your question. It helps me know what to focus on in future videos. Please let me know if you have any other questions or requests. 🥰
Love the album and tutorial. For some reason I cannot see your replies to the questions. I would like to know what the tool you used to cut the 45 degree angles on the covers is called...I need one!
Thank you so much, Charlotte. Here’s the mitering tool I use:
www.colorwayarts.com/products/metal-2-in-1-trim-miter-tool-corner-miter-tool-long-metal-miter-and-trim-tool
It works like a charm! Especially if you cut out the squares created by the folds beforehand. I had to come up with something “mistake proof” for me, lol!
I’d love to see what you make. Check out my website for instructions on how you can share your projects.

Thanks, again! I really appreciate your feedback. 🥰
Hi, is there a place I can watch a slow version of making the hinge? I get the scoring part but just can't seem to figure out how you fold the " valleys and mountains" and where to put the glue. ty
Hi, there. And thank you for your question. I go over the hinge construction on a few of them but not sure it is what you are looking for. I’m happy to put together a stand alone hinge tutorial sometime in the next week or two if that helps??
Thanks, again, for your question. It really helps me to know more about what would be helpful.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
((hugs))
✨🌻✨🌻✨
A stand alone would be so very helpful. I'd surely appreciate that.
Would you say medium weight cardatock is 80lb? 65lb? Thank you!
What glue do you use Caroline. Many thanks
Great question! Thanks for asking.
I use Art Glitter Glue and Reptile glue interchangeably…I feel like they are nearly identical and Reptile glue is a little less expensive. I like the precision tip applicator if the AGG, but it clogs often, so I also fill up some small bottles I bought from Amazon that have a larger tip that is easily unclogged with a paper clip that has been uncoiled. The down side with them is that the applicator isn’t as fine.
I think all of the bottles I’m using now have some combination of AGG and reptile glue in them as I just grab whatever is closest to fill them up, lol!
I have used Barely Art Glue and I do like it, but it takes a lot longer to hold so I think there’s just a learning curve and honestly I just haven’t been patient enough to adapt to it. Hope that helps.
