Accordion Fold Messgehilfe Album

Let's have a look at the accordion fold mini album I created for today's crafty friends blog hop. It is filled with memories of special moments.

Mini Album Unfolded

Let's unfold the accordion mini album. Amongst other creative things, you will find two pockets, a flap with a photo inside and some nice embellishments from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection.

Double Pages

When you open the accordion mini album, different sets of double pages will appear. I incorporated different interactive elements.  The flower on the left and the tag on the right side can be lifted.

I die-cut two windows with star and circle das and backed them with transparency foil. I added confetti, sequins, a fuzzy-cut star and a die-cut word underneath the foil. I made a card with a square cut-out window back in March 2014 (click). Just to show you that you can use different forms and shapes to create see-through windows.

You can use different shapes to make cut-out windows. It's a fun effect. Stars, circles, rectangles, flowers, leaves... Whatever you like. There are many possibilities. Let's do it :).

And I added a pocket with flaps. It can be closed with white thread. I stamped onto the pocket with wonderful leaf stamps that can be layered for a nice effect (Layered Laurel Stamp Set). I used different shades of green (Crisp Dy Ink Green Fields) to stamp the leaves.

Mini Album Details

I would like to point out some more details of the mini album. There is a hidden pocket, some cut-out windows, stitched and stamped accents and cute little things like confetti and sequins you can discover.

I used different stamp sets from Altenew, including the Happy Dreams Stamp Set and the Halftone Stars Stamp Set. In addition, I used different dies, including the Halftone Circles Nesting Die Set, Signature Words Die, Script Words Die Set and the Ori Kami Die Set.
