Learn to create a sweet mini book that fits perfectly into a coordinating box featuring the Lavender Fields Remix Page Kit.
Drop Spine Box with Mini Book - Lavender Fields Remix
If you'd like to make a box and mini album of your own, simply purchase and download the instructions from our online store. Next, gather your favorite page kit, Drop Spine box Components, 12x12 mat board and a few basic tools. (You can explore Tricia's gorgeous Let It Bee Remix version, along with a complete list of tools and supplies, on her blog post.)
To replicate my project, use the following paper assignments:
Paper A = Dark Green
Paper B = Script Print
Paper C = Field Print
Paper D = Light Green
Paper E = Lavender
Paper F = White
Paper G = Lavender Metallic
The instructions and video tutorial guide you through the paper trimming and sorting process. After the trimming is complete, construction of the box and mini album can begin!
The Box
If you've made a drop spine box with us in the past, the construction should come easily to you. If not, never fear, Tricia will guide you through the process during her helpful video tutorial. It's so rewarding to see the how the box comes together!
The sturdy 5.25x7" box is constructed from book board wrapped in gorgeous paper. Decorate the box with cutaparts, ribbon, and other embellishments from the page kit.
The Mini Book
The box makes a beautiful home for the 4.5x5.75" mini book. How clever is that?
The book is constructed of mat board, which is wrapped in more of that beautiful Lavender Fields paper. It features a ribbon closure. Embellish the outside cover of the book with cutaparts and a mini perfume bottle from the kit.
The unique spine structure allows plenty of room for expansion. Don't be afraid to load up your book with photos and embellishments.
Remaining cutaparts and embellishments decorate the inside cover and interior pages of the album.
The mini book is perfect for showcasing horizontal 4x6 photos. To fit perfectly, the photos should be cropped to 4x5.25" (no photo mat) or 3.75x5" (with a photo mat).
Each trifold page features flaps just begging to be decorated. Trim cutapart border strips to size.
I hope you're inspired by this project, too! If so, we invite you to share your finished project on the Club Scrap Chat group on Facebook.
