Min Tin Album...

Mint Tin Albums make great gifts! Its a cute little album in a solid case to protect it! Best part they are EASY!!!

How to make a mint tin album…

  • Eat a tin of altoids… mmm… minty fresh breath!
  • Add your pictures to the QP and flatten the images
  • Open a new document at 300dpi and canvas sized to the paper you will be printing on
  • Arrange your flattened quick pages into this canvas (you may need more that one)
  • Print then out on photo paper or cardstock
  • At this point there are many ways you can bind your finished project
  • OPTION 1: Cut the photos out and bind them with some ribbon (link to Ramona’s mint tin)
  • OPTION 2: Cut out the photos and glue them to a coordinated cardstock cut slightly larger, but small enough to fit in the tin (link to Leslie’s mint tin)
  • OPTION 3: Cut a piece of cardstock approximately 10 inches long and 3 ¼ inches wide and make an adhere 5 pages to each side of the cardstock to make a mini accordion album (sorry no picture of this one yet).
  • Attach the covers and lid insert to the tin! Voila a quick and pretty Hybrid album!!

Kelly has graciously greated a mint-tin QP set for you with her new Mystery Kit! I've seen the whole kit and it is AMAZING!!! Best part you can get it for 50% off until April 15th!
