Very Fine Mouse House Mini Album Tutorial with Stamperia Family
Hello, Friends! Just as I promised, I’m back to share this Very Fine Mouse House Mini Album Tutorial with you. Playing with all these cute little mice turned into one giant project! Our tutorial is only for the mini album construction, but I do share a lot of tips for dressing up the house cubby box.
This is a very long video tutorial, so you will want to grab a cuppa and a snack to sustain you as we move through all the elements in this altered art project.
The Gatefold Feature
When I shared my sneak peek video yesterday, I did not show you the fun gatefold feature I built into the back of the box. I mean, the space was there, so I figured I should put it to good use, right? This fun element has a neat surprise on the inside, but you’ll have to watch the video to see it.
Cute Little Mini Albums
Cute little mice need a cute little mini album to romp around in. So I designed this sturdy little book to fit inside the box cubbies. Made with layered cardstock, they are super sturdy. But, they are also super quick and easy to put together.
Once you learn how to make these darling little albums, you can make bunches of them in any theme using any paper you like. They’d make a great brag book, Christmas stocking stuffer, or gift. I think you’ll really enjoy making them!
Mini Album Tutorial and Project Share with Tips
If you’d like to learn how to make these little beauties as well as take a tour (with tips!) of the altered house box, I hope you will enjoy this tutorial on my YouTube channel.
We have one more week to play with this darling paper collection. I’m not sure what we’ll make, but I promise it will be fun!
You can find a linked supply list below this post, in the description box below the video tutorial, and tagged products in the body of the video. Some parts of this collection have already sold out, but I’ll link whenever possible.
Thanks so much for stopping by, friends!
Cheerio,
kathy

Ashland Tabletop House Cubby (sadly, it sold out! Check your local Michael’s to see if they have any)
Amazing! This house mouse is the cutest thing ever! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity.
This project is wonderful, from the gatefold on the back (so much better than just patterned paper) to the books and stories they tell inside the house. It is the perfect medium for family photos indeed. You are back on form Kathy and I can hear it in your voice, the positive vibes! It is amazing how relief of pain helps not just the physical but the emotional status. Ah yes, lunch breaks, gotta have them to keep the metabolism going says she that does the same thing when immersed in a project….. I really enjoyed this video Kathy especially the end result.
I bet you could easily make the house cubby out of foamcore, painting it to look like wood. Configure it to meet your needs too.
This cubby would be so “stink’n cute” hanging on the wall in a child’s room. I just squeal for joy when I see such creative fun!
It is absolutely adorbs, Kathy. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I have not returned to my craft room yet. Been absent for months. Life can zap your motivation. But still love to watch your tutes and soak up your inspiration as you show us your continued love for the craft. Ann
