'Eastertime' & 'Beloved' Pop Up Mini Albums with Tutorial
Today's project is one that is my fave by far. While browsing
through YouTube, Pinterest & other online sites I noticed several
tutorials & images for the 'Pop Up' cards--I've also seen them
called 'Pop & Twist' cards. However, I'm not a card maker, so even
though I thought the idea was original & unique--I didn't give it
much thought.
Then I came across a fabulous tutorial by a fellow crafter named Alagaina. Alagaina lives in Spain & has a YouTube channel full of fabulous tutorials, project shares & ideas. She was clever enough to take the 'Pop Up' card technique & use it to create a mini album. At this point I was hooked & had to try it!
I absolutely LOVED it! It's such a creative twist to the 'Pop Up' card
technique & you end up with a unique keepsake for yourself or for
someone else. I believe that these mini albums make for fabulous gifts
as well.
So for my first attempt, I created the 'Pop Up Mini Album' with Authentique's 'Beloved' collection.
These minis measures 4" x 6" inches when closed & it have three
different pop up panels. For both of my minis I've used an elastic
ribbon as a 'belly band' for the closure.
The second 'Pop Up' mini was made with the 'Eastertime' collection by Authentique. I created this mini as I recorded the video tutorial on how to make the mini.
As
previously mentioned, I followed Alagaina's tutorial which is in
Spanish to make these mini albums. When my 'Beloved' mini album was shared on
Authentique's social media, it caught the eye of many people & the
requests for a tutorial started flooding in.
Even
though Alagaina does provide her measurements in both inches &
centimeters, we still had many requests to have the tutorial in
English. So I reached out to Alagaina & asked for her permission to
translate her tutorial into English. She graciously gave me permission to do so.
Below you'll find the video/link to my translation of Alagaina's 'Pop Up Mini Album' tutorial. In the description box below my tutorial in YouTube, you can also find links to Alagaina's YouTube channel & to her original 'Pop Up Mini Album' tutorial.
Enjoy!

Fantastic tutorial! Great pacing and already made one after watching once and taking down the measurements. Had to go back to be sure of putting it together correctly. Was at a crop all dat Sat and got noting much accomplished. Did this in less than an hour! Now to embellish it! Thanks for a great tutorial and I did check out and subscribe to the original gal's You Tube, so I hope you will translate more of her beautiful projects.
