Making a Mini Book! Not a Card with Nina-Marie

Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie here with you! I have a mini book idea to share that could be used for many different occasions or themes—my book is mom-themed, but bear in mind you can swap out some of the sayings and words I used for things that would fit your theme. In this project I am also using the adorable Best of the Bunch set from Avery Elle!

I built my book from Tim Holtz’s Specimen file folder. Using some strips of cardstock, I adhered the file folders together to make “pages” in a book. The seam was covered with some ribbon to give it a softer, more finished look.

Inside, the pages are decorated with patterned papers, Tim Holtz ephemera, and images from the Best of the Bunch stamp set. How cute are those critters with their florals?!

Want to learn how I made this sweet book? Watch the video below for all the details!
