Crafty Girl Cascading Pocket Mini Album

12/17/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re all ready for Christmas! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute cascading pocket mini album. The Lessebo line has replaced the Basis cardstock, and this mini album features White and Navy Blue cardstock in this new line. My inspiration came from this video over on Helen Griffin’s You Tube channel! I will, however, re-work the box next time I make this as it’s a tad bit snug. Overall, though, I love how it turned out!

The box base, album base and card layers were cut from Lessebo White. I used Lessebo Navy Blue for the layering panels on the box, album, and cards. The adorable chipboard, buttons and patterned paper are from the Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Collection.

I think the thing I love most about this album (besides being so stinkin’ cute) is the TON of journaling and photo space. There is room on both sides of each pocket (except the first one which is embellished on the front side) and both sides of each card in the pockets!

I embellished the cards with stickers from the same Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Collection.

Here’s a shot of the back side of the pockets.
