Here's a project that I made using some beautiful papers, stamps and flowers from Prima and the Sizzix Mini-Album die.
This die has lots of options- the binding is adjustable! You can make the depth of the album either 3/8" or 1 1/8" just by where you fold on the score lines.
The album cover was cut from matboard. I used the Heart Mover and Shaper to die cut the window in the cover.
The Mini-Album die also may be used to cut the pages. Here's how...

- Fold a 12" x 12" sheet of paper in half and then in quarters.
- Place the large fold just shy of the last score line on the die and run the paper through the Big Shot. This will cut and score two page signatures.
- Place the page next to the book cover and slip a rubber band over the page and cover, then adjust in the book. This is a super quick and easy way to bind the book. You can also use twine, linen or thin ribbon to tie the pages into the binding of the book.
- There is also a piece on the die designed to be used as a closure. Attach the long end to the back of the book, then determine whether what depth of a book you will be making and mark a spot on the book where you feel you should close the book. Attach Velcro™Brand fasteners to each side of the latch.
- Layer flowers on the cover and add a metal embellishment with the word Journey.
