Slimline Album - Moments That Matter

Good Morning everyone,

Today I am happy to share with you the Slimline Album I created using the June2025 Card, Tag and More Kit. I hope you enjoy todays step by step tutorial, along with the video tutorial shown below which gives more details. I also have the link for you below.

June 2025 Card, Tag and More Kit

To begin take one of the cards from the kit and score at a 1/2 inch and then adhere the 1/2 inch to the middle spine of the slimline album. ***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Next Cut 2 cards at 3 5/8 inches, these are going to be flaps for photos.

Adhere one down in the midsection panel on the top left side of the album.

Adhere the second flap down on the 3rd inside panel on the bottom, next to the card flap we just adhered down on the spine. ***see video tutorial for more details if needed***

Take another card and cut 1/2 inch off the open end of the card, the card should measure 3 3/4 inches.

With the open end facing to the left, adhere this down in middle panel, as shown below.

Next for our closure cut two pieces of cardstock at 2 x 8 1/2 inches. adhere two of the ends together.

You should have a long a strip.

Next wrap around the slimline album to the back. With the top piece laying over the bottom piece measure 1 inch and cut the excess off. Then adhere the end together 3/4 inches inward.

Next cut some of the pattern paper and adhere around the closure. Place the closure over the album midway, when sliding the closure on it should fit a little loose so you have room to place photos inside. Now you can decorate the front and inside of the album.

Here is a photo of the front decorated.

Here is the Left inside panels.

The first panel at the end I created a small pocket using scraps, cutting the pocket 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. Only place adhesive to the sides and bottom and adhere down. This will hold tags or or small photos.

The middle panel and the third panel is where we added our flaps from the cards we cut at 3 5/8 inches.

I also used some of the ephemera from the Card Kit to decorate around the flaps. I just love the little woodland characters and the fairies.

Here is the right side panels for the end panel I created a small pocket using scraps, cutting the pocket 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, just like I did for the left side.

The middle panel is where I adhered the card we cut at 3 3/4 inches. And the third panel I adhered down some of the cut a-parts for small photos or for journaling. ***See video tutorial for more details***

This is the card we scored 1/2 inch and adhered to the middle spine and this can photos and it has a small pocket for holding tags or photos.

Here is a close up of the Slimline Album front.
