Do you ever want to give a handmade gift that is fun and meaningful? This is perfect for those occasions when a card isn’t enough and a gift card is too impersonal. It’s also a great excuse (as if we need one) to play and have fun using up your scraps. In the video below I’ll show you a super cute mini album idea using cardstock tags attached to a binder ring. You can use up your leftover scraps of scrapbook paper, embellishments, stickers, ribbon, Washi tape, and whatever else you want to throw at it!

Choose coordinating colors, theme, and photos to go with whatever occasion you are celebrating.

Below the video you will find my supply list but you can get as creative or thrifty as you want. I included some pockets to insert gift cards and notes to celebrate this special grad.

Now that I made this one I can see I’ll be making many more themed mini tag albums in the future – so much fun!!

  • Assorted Cardstock Tags from PA Paper Accents (you could also cut your own using Creative Memories White Cardstock and a Personal Trimmer)
