    Step 1
    Score largest piece of base cardstock
    at 2 1/8", 4 1/4", 6 1/4". Fold each panel in
    accordian fashion.
    Score second (shorter) piece of base cardstock
    at 2 1/8" and fold in half.
    Step 2
    On smaller piece of base cardstock, cut off the
    upper left corner on a diagonal. This will form a
    pocket.
    Trim all corners with the corner rounder.
    Hint: Try no more than 2 layers of cardstock
    at one time.
    Step 3
    Fold the pocket around the far right panel of
    larger base piece of cardstock. Adhere the
    entire back of the panel and the edges of the
    pocket to the larger base piece.
    Hint: Regular adhesive (such as SNAIL) is fine
    for the back, but I use Sticky Strip" on the
    actual flap of the pocket.

    Step 4
    To line up holes for the ribbon closure: Fold the
    mini-album up, accordian style and punch a
    hole in the center of the top panel. Using that
    hole as a guide, punch the next panel. Repeat
    until you have a hole in the center of each
    panel.
    Embellish with your favorite stamps and
    accessories
    Step 5
    Cover of Mini Tin
    Take your piece of coordinating cardstock cut
    to 2 5/16" x 3 11/16".
    (Optional) Trim the corners with a Corner
    Rounder.
