This is a super simple and quick mini-album that I think would be perfect as a Christmas card insert for those special people in your life. I was also delighted that the small size worked so well with some of my older, less-than-stellar photos. You could also follow the same pattern using other JBS mini-bingo packs to make back-to-school, birthday, valentine’s, Fourth of July, halloween, or thanksgiving mini-albums.
supply list (sources below):
- mini bingo cards
- polka dot chipboard buttons
- christmas tickets
- cantaloupe pearl flowers
- red label stickers
- bookbinding or paper tape
- white string
- fine point black permanent pen
Step One: Lay three of the cards face down, side-by-side, flush up against each other. Tape across the back with Bookbinding or Paper tape.
Step Two: Apply taperunner to the back edges of the remaining three cards and then adhere them to the first three cards.
Step Three: Add photos and embellish with tickets, chipboard buttons, and pearl flowers. Add journaling.
Step Four: Accordian fold. Glue two chipboard buttons together, thread them with white string, and tie it in a bow to hold the mini-album together. Done!
