You guys! These honeycomb-shaped mini albums are the CUTEST things ever! I saw the idea originally from Tiffany over @LetsGetScrappy on YouTube. In fact, the honeycomb dies that I used are because of her. Use Tiffany's code to save 10% on these Double-Stitched Hexagon Dies from scrapdivadesigns.com Code "letsgetscrappy"
The black one is my prototype, and the Petunia Pop is the one that I made live - so more pictures here of the Petunia Pop version. I will provide measurements for both though. Finished size is approximately 6 3/8" wide x 5 1/2" tall when it's sitting up and flat.
Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET. I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously. NOTE: Facebook has been behaving poorly for quite some time, so I recommend viewing on YouTube. Also, Facebook is no longer saving videos longer than 30 days, so if you need to watch an older video - YouTube is your best option.
If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube. If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.
The premise of both albums is that I'm using double layers of the honeycomb die cuts for the covers and each page. I used lots of glue to assemble, which makes the mini book sturdier as it dries. The pages are the same size as the covers, so I had to do a little doctoring to them which you'll see in the video. You don't want your pages sticking out past the edges of the book.
The albums also have spines, which I have situated in the bottom left corner of the album, if you are looking at it like this. The flat bottom means it will stand up on the table.
I decorated the front of the Basic Black album with elements from the Cute as Can Bee Sticker Sheet.
Side picture shows the spine, and you can barely see that I added a layer of Basic Black that I embossed with the Hive folder (retired, but perfect).
Also, see that the Black album has 4 pages inside. I did not do anything fancy with the pages. Just added a layer of Cute as Can Bee designer series to the front and back of every page.

For the Petunia Pop album (that I put together live), everything is Petunia Pop. Covers, pages, everything. Again, I decorated the front using elements from the Cute as Can Bee sticker sheet. The Petunia Pop album only has THREE pages inside, but it's also got two flip-in pages, and pockets on the inside front and back covers.

I hope you try to make an album similar to this. Don't have the honeycomb dies? Try it with some different shaped dies. I think this would be awesome to create with the Everyday Arches dies.
Come back this Thursday night, when I'll finally be playing with the Irresistible Designs papers!
Thanks for visiting, and Happy stamping!
