Flower Shaped Mini Album - June Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hi everyone! Today is Lori Whitlock's June Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I made a pretty little flower shaped scrapbook using one of Lori's new cutting files called Hidden Binding Mini Album Flower (links below). In April, I made the Telephone version and loved it, so ... I couldn't wait to make the flower one next!

The file makes 5 double sided flower shaped pages including the front and back cover. I chose to decorate the front with some embellishments I had on hand, but ... the file comes with a circle and flower cluster. So, you really don't need any extras to make this album super cute.

Here's how I made it ... I started by cutting out the 5 base pages in white Bazzill card stock, then layered patterned papers on top of each. I chose a bunch of garden themed prints and embellishments from the Doodlebug Design, Bunny Hop Collection.

To create photo mats on each page, I used a combination of circle and scalloped die cut pieces with some pattern papers that I punched out with 3" and 2.5" punches.

All of Lori's Hidden Binding Albums use a technique to secure the pages that allows enough space in between for pop dots and embellishments. On the page above, I added a 3D shovel sticker and the pages still lay perfectly flat when closed.

You can watch the assembly tutorial for these Hidden Binding Albums over on Lori's YouTube Channel here.

This mini album would be perfect for some of your favorite photos, or ... make it as a pretty gift for mom, daughter, friend, grandparent, babysitter, or teacher.

And, look how cute it looks displayed on my clear Acrylic Display Stand. It gives this mini a bit more presence! These are available in my shop and they're perfect for showing off your mini albums and cards.

Here is what the file looks like ...

Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too, like a mason jar, camera, bee, house, butterfly, typewriter, and more! Be sure to check them out in her shop.
