Quick and simple mini album

July 19, 2022 By Michelle Last

I am sharing with you today a mini album which has been made with envelopes. It is super quick and simple to make and whilst I used Stampin’ Up’s slimline envelopes you can use any envelopes to achieve the same effect.

mini album made with envelopes

This was a project I designed for our team weekend retreat which I hold every year in Birmingham. It is a fun filled weekend with crafting, good food, shopping and crafty friends.

This is really quick and simple to make and can be made using any envelopes, patterned paper and letter stamps/dies/punches you have.

The envelopes I used are shared below. They are 9.8 x 22.5cm and there are 15 envelopes in a pack, 5 of each colour. You can find products in the Stampin Up range that match the colours of the envelopes perfectly.

I decided to cover the pages with the timeless Perfectly Penciled Patterned Paper. The black and white theme of the paper lends itself to so many occasions and won’t clash with the photos I decide to use in the album.

I glued the tabs to close the envelopes and then removed a slither off one end of each envelope to create a pocket. That meant I could cut a piece of Basic White card and die cut a pretty edge to be inserted inside the envelope. I used the Basic Borders dies to get the pretty scalloped edging.

Quick and simple mini album

The gorgeous title was made using the Alphabest bundle. This is a wonderful stamp set and punch bundle which makes creating titles or stand out sentiments a breeze! I heat embossed mine onto basic black card and used white embossing powder. The Best Label punch easily punches around the stamped letters to create title super quick.

If you have an occasion that needs celebrating, why not make your own quick and simple mini album using the Slimline envelopes? All the products I used to create this album are shared below and they can be purchased from my online shop. I really do appreciate you shopping with me so please remember to use the monthly hostess code so that I can send you a thank you gift.
