Sharing Pictures with a Mailable Mini Album
Why send a birthday card when you can send a Mailable Birthday Mini? 🙂
This week I’m sharing my latest design in this Mailable Mini category, created with Prima Marketing’s beautiful Amelia Rose collection. It sports two pocket pages held together by a photo booklet-in-a-booklet and offers room for 10 pictures – or 9 plus a journalling spot like mine.
If you’d like to see more where this came from, check out my other mailables: the Mini Folio version, the 6-Panel Fold-Out version and the Actual Booklet version! Still can’t get enough? Go ahead and browse through my entire Booklets & Wallets section.
Two Shutter Card Wallets
You’ve probably seen a tri-shutter card before – and if not, check out mine here, here and here 😉 – but this week I’m showing you a different kind. This one is Bigger & Better, and it has actual chipboard covers! 😃 It offers room for 10 wallet-sized pictures and/or journalling spots, and is an ideal birthday card to give in person.
Check out the video and pictures below to see what it looks like, and don’t forget to like & subscribe to my blog if you don’t want to miss any of my weekly posts.
A Micro Folio for Your Handbag
What’s fascinating about the Oxford collection by Basic Grey is that while at first glance it has a mostly masculine feel, when you take a closer look some of the sheets are of a more feminine persuasion as well!
So this time I used it to create a little project for myself, instead of a male friend or relative 🙂 . This micro folio is perfectly suited to carry your most current & precious pictures with you in your handbag. You could also turn it into a micro portfolio representing your most important projects – like I have. It’s small, flat, magnetized and offers room for at least 11 pictures!
It’s also very easy to make, as you can see in the video.
So enjoy, and let me know for which kind of photos you would love to create a micro folio!
Loose Change – A Twelve Pocket Folio
Sometimes people send me some photographs, maybe a picture of me and them during a party or a family event, or just a photo update of their little baby. And sometimes they use these pictures as cards – writing a personal message to me on the back. This doesn’t happen super often, but enough to make me want to store these pictures neatly together. Also, I’d like to preserve any notes or personal messages on the backs of these photos.
So I came up with a quick and easy design for a folio: thin, light-weight and without any photo mats since I wasn’t going to glue anything down. I just needed pockets that would fit 10 x 15 cm (4×6″) pictures, and I chose to create twelve – a number that would fairly easily fit onto two pages, keeping the folio super thin. Also, twelve is perfect if you wanted to do something like a year in review or baby’s first year, or some such.
I’m calling this design Loose Change, for it’s intended specifically for pictures you do not want to glue down, and want to change regularly.
This design of course enables you to preserve any hand-written notes on the backs!
In case you’d like to create one yourself, there’s a tutorial waiting for you in my Etsy shop.

Hippo Birdy wallet tutorial (only one sheet of paper!)
Here’s a quick tutorial for creating a fun little birthday wallet.
I keep coming back to this design because it looks great, it’s easy to make and takes only one sheet of 12×12 inch double-sided scrapbookpaper. So I thought I’d share this with you and show you how to make it! 🙂
If you want some more inspiration, click the links below for my other versions.
Dutch language version available as well this time (without the tutorial):

Wedding gift wallet (part 2 – with 15 tags + a little envelope tutorial)
A couple of days ago I uploaded part 1 of this gift wallet for groups of people who give one gift together.
Now, here’s part 2! With not only all 15 personalized tags for this wallet, but also with the special money envelope I created, and some instructions for making it.
Have fun – and then of course like & subscribe! 🙂
Happily Ever After – a wedding gift wallet (part 1)
This gift wallet is perfect for people who give one gift together as a group, like when you’re giving money or some luxury coupons with your entire family, or like in my case with a group of colleagues.
You can add lots of unique tags for each person to write a personal message to the happy couple, which is not just fun for them but will also be a great keepsake.
DCWV’s Once Upon a Time design paper is of course very usable for weddings, for this stack actually has a Happily Ever After sheet, how perfect is that!
Oh, and there is a part 2 to this post by the way, which you find in my next – with not only all 15 personalized tags for this wallet, but I’m also showing you the special money envelope I created, with some instructions for making it! 🙂

Birthday wallet or Mini Album Page Insert
Here’s another Mom’s Home Original – that is, I created and filmed this project at my mom’s 🙂 Therefore the paper is by Colours Unlimited again, since that little paper pad is the only one my mom has.
This paper wallet is definitely multi-functional: you can either use it as an elaborate birthday card, as I have in this video, or you can designate it to be a bonus project for one of your mini albums – for you could very easily use this as a mini album page insert! Cool…

Poetry birthday card “Mariposa”
A birthday card of my own design, using the gor-ge-ous Mariposa design paper stack by DCWV – the paper I also used in my recent Keepsake mini album.
There are two poems in the card, one of the front, one inside a flip tag. Both are printed of course, as is the tag containing the birthday wishes.
By the way, I tend to view designing a card the same way I approach creating page layouts for my mini albums, and this card is no exception. I guess it’s my personal style 😉
Take a look, and see what I mean 🙂
What kind of particular personal style do you have when it comes to creating your cards?
Large pockets & tags card + bookmark – “Mediterranean”
Ah, those beautiful last days of summer… In the Netherlands summer has been short but sweet, with the early September sun trying its best to still give us a little warmth. So before we have to say goodbye to summer definitively, we can take one more look at it and celebrate its vibrant colours with this cheery birthday card!
It’s turned out rather large (A5), has a strong blue (think Mediterranean Sea) for its base and sports several tags and pockets. And, as a special bonus feature, there’s a bookmark too! An actual one, not a digital one – just adding that for the young people reading this and wondering what a paper bookmark might be… 😉
Here’s a little photo shoot I did. The design paper I used is by some nameless Dutch brand, it has no title of its own but I’m calling it Mediterranean. Because it looks……. Mediterranean – but then again, you’d already figured that one out yourself, had you not? 🙂
Front – setting the Mediterranean tone with a sunny flip pocket:
Inside the flip pocket is – of course – a tag. I will personalize it by printing some birthday wishes onto it and who knows, I may even do some stamping!
Inside – Summer landscape on the left, sea-themed pocket on the right, with a dolphin tag hanging from a gold-colored brad and a blue ribbon along the border of the pocket. The pocket holds a bookmark, with a quote from a well-known Dutch literary writer. The quote reads something like: “Good literature has the ability to make us see through another person’s eyes.”
Back – Two matching side-loading pockets with identical dolphin tags/photo mats. On the other side of the tags is room for journaling, or for writing some personal messages to the recipient.
What colors do you associate with summer? And with what craft project are you saying goodbye to this year’s summer season?
Mini Pocket Fold-out card
The ancestry mini album of one my previous blog posts was commissioned as a birthday gift for my aunt. So I decided that the birthday card I would send to her, would be a companion piece to go with that album. I chose Kathy Orta’s design for what she’s called a mini pocket page and added my own styling – and of course some printed tags (for what I would I do without at least a couple of those!).
This fold-out card is created with only one piece of cardstock!
Anyway, very pleased with the result – this Ancestry paper is so gorgeous btw, I love it!

Happy scrapping, until next time!
