I needed (wanted) to make another card for a friend that lots of people could sign. I’ve been interested in mini albums for awhile now and thought it might be nice to make a card like a mini album with lots of pockets, tags and mini envelopes and cards. This is what I came up with. I started with a 12″ x 12″ sheet of card stock and cut it to 12″ x 9″ with 9″ being the height. I scored the length of it at 3″, 6″ and 9″ to make 4 panels each 3″ wide. I then cut 8 panels of designer paper slightly smaller than 9″ x 3″ and adhered it to the panels of the card and then added pockets and mini envelopes and bling and embellishments. The designer paper is A Ladies Diary by Graphic 45, my favorite paper company. I had trouble figuring out how to keep the envelopes closed so I searched for a solution online. I didn’t like any of the solutions other people used. They just weren’t right for this card. I finally found Velcro mini fasteners on Amazon: Here They were PERFECT!
Front of the card. I found the metal
frame in my stash and printed ‘happy
birthday’ on card stock to put in the frame.

Two more. Tiny keys and locks add a nice
touch to any vintage paper craft.
And even more envelopes with cards. I love the double sided designer
paper. It makes the inside of the envelopes look so nice.
The envelope I made for the card. It’s bulging because of
all the greetings added to the mini envelopes and pockets.
