The last Christmas in July project for this year is a cute little album whose base is just one sheet of 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. I'm in love. You know why? Because it uses the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper from our Online Exclusives (find a link to the paper in my online store at the bottom of this blog post, along with links to all the other products I used on this album, too). So basically I love green. I love gold. I love them together. I love Christmas. I love fun folds, which actually is what this mini album is...a series of fun fold cards. So check this out:
I think what I love most about this card is that it folds up into a size measuring 3" x 4", and it's nice and thick with pics and embellishments. I just love how it turned out. It can be a little intimidating to fold back up again after you've had it out, but here's a quick video tutorial on how it folds back up again:
To create the base of the album, I used just one piece of Mossy Meadow 12" x 12" cardstock. That comes in a pack of assorted neutrals colors. I cut and scored the cardstock like the pic below.
Each section turns out to be 3" x 4", and any layers of cardstock or Designer Series Paper added to the sections are cut 2 3/4" x 3 3/4". I ordered 2" x 3" pics from Walgreens for this project because I knew they'd fit perfectly in the grid. I added lots of embellishments and die cut pieces from that beautiful Designer Series Paper to round out the amazing waterfall album.
You can watch below as I create the card, and don't forget you can get those links to my online store at the bottom of this post.
Merry Christmas in July!

OMG Absolutely adorable! You are so full with ideas and your talent; just totally amazing! I will make one for each of my great grandkids that just went on a month long trip to see their uncle in California because I promised my granddaughter I would make her something with all the fun pictures she sent to me. I have been going crazy thinking of making something that is easy to do and you just nailed it for me. Thank you so very much for sharing your ideas and God given talent with everyone! You should be on the SU Design team because you really always amaze me with all the things you make; plus it’s often better than some…
