Turning Cards into a Halloween Mini Album

Hey scrappers! Today, I'm sharing my latest Doodlebug Design Team Project. I was feeling a little creative and decided to rework some colorful greeting cards into a cute mini album for Halloween. I used the Happy Haunting collection and added some really fun details! Take a look ...

I've added a short flip-through VIDEO at the bottom of the page so be sure to watch it.

 

 

To start, I found 4 Doodlebug A2 striped cards in my stash that were the perfect colors for Halloween. I glued the back of each card, to the flap on the front of the next card until all 4 were together. That made the base for my album.

 

The black card on top created a gate-fold cover. I added 6x6 patterned paper to each side in a bright plaid and cute polka dot. The "Ghoul Friends" sticker is from the This and That and I backed it with a 2.5" circle I punch from black card stock. I added two boutique buttons, googly eye stickers, and a bit of pink twine for a closure (product links below).

 

On these inside pages, I used one of the cute blocks from the Bewitched paper, a few die cuts, and a plain mat for a fun Halloween photo. This album would be perfect for pictures of pumpkin carving, costumes, decorations, a party, a haunted house, or a Halloween Fright Night!

 

 

For the next 3 cards, I adhered the striped flap on the right side down to create pockets. 

 

I love pockets and flippies so, on the page above ... I added the adorable "Bugs and Hisses" square card to a folding card made out of black card stock. Perfect for 2 photos. Then, I used a 2.5" scallop circle punch and a 2" circle punch to create a fun shape behind that.

 

 
The pockets are great for extra pics, journaling notes, or small memorabilia like tickets to a haunted house or a party invitation. I tucked in some fun tags from the Bits & Pieces, along with mats for photos.The buttons are another cute detail.

Here's the short flip-through video of this album. I hope it inspires you to create something boo-tiful for your Halloween memories! Product links are listed below.
