The mini has 6 pages front and back, 6 flaps front and back and 6 pockets. The full overall size is 7"x7"x3" not including the handles.
You will need the following or something similar to create this project.
Front, Back and Spine
2 pieces of chipboard cut at 7"x7"
Spine - 1 piece of chipboard cut at 3"x7"
To cover the chipboard I use two pieces of 12x12 craft paper glued together and then cut down to
19 1/4"x9". Make sure to cut off each end on the long way so that your seam will fall in the middle of the spine piece, this makes it easier to cover.
Outside cover sheets
2 - 6 1/2"x 6 1/2" of paper
Spine mat is cut at 2 1/2"x 6 1/2"
Inside Mat - 2 sheets cut at 8 1/2" and then either glue them together or I just put them down with the seam falling in the middle of the spine.
Pages
1 - 7 1/4"x6 1/4" sheet , score on the 7 1/4" side at 1/2" on both ends
1 - 6 1/4"x6 1/4" no scoring on this sheet
1 - 4 3/4"x6 1/4" score on the 4 1/4" side at 1/2" on one end.
Glue the 6 1/4x6 1/4 sheets onto the longer sheet using the 1/2" folds you made this will create you pocket. For the flap cut a slight slant off the 1/2" fold so that it will insert into the pocket easily. Glue inside one end of the pocket. Only put glue on one side of the 1/2" flap so that you will have an open pocket. (All this is shown in the video linked above)
Mats for Pages
6x6 sheets for the pages themselves
4x6 sheet for the flaps
Handles
Cut at 12"x2" and scored at 1" down the long way.
Closure
2 pieces cut at 5x1 3/4", put your magnet inside and glue together. Round the ends.
To create the faux leather look I used Kaisercraft kraft cardstock, Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink and art glitter glue. Then my bone folder to rough it up a little. (shown in the photo)
