Today I’m sharing this sweet and whimsical Easter Egg Mini Album featuring the adorable Love Bird Letter Valentine – Wings of Love digi. I wanted something soft, interactive, and perfect for spring memories, so an egg-shaped mini album felt just right for the season!
I made this entire album using my Cricut Maker, which made cutting multiple egg pages super quick and precise. If you’re a Cricut user, you can use the Design Space template I created for this project. The template includes the large egg base pages and the smaller egg layers for the patterned paper liners.
If you’re not using a Cricut, no worries at all! You can easily draw an egg shape manually or print one to use as a pattern. Simply trace and cut as many pages as you’d like for your mini album.
Materials Used
- White cardstock
- Pattern Paper - I used Polkadoodles Winnie Celebrations 3 Set
- Sentiments - Polkadoodles Spring into Easter messages
- Digi Stamp - I used Polkadoodles Love Bird Letter Valentine
- Bearly Art Precision Glue
- Ring Binders – 2 pcs
- Ribbons and trims
- Cricut Maker
- Ohuhu Alcohol Markers
How I Made It
If you’re using a Cricut, open the Design Space template here. This file includes just the egg bases and smaller egg layers. I made 12 egg pages total, including the front and back covers. You can fit 4 eggs per A4 sheet, so it’s very cardstock-friendly.
1. Cut the Base Pages
Cut the larger egg shapes from white cardstock. These will be your main album pages.
2. Cut the Pattern Paper Layers
Cut the smaller egg shapes from patterned paper. I used papers from the Winnie Celebrations 3 Set for bright, happy spring vibes. You can also cut extra patterned eggs if you’d like to create pocket pages.
3. Assemble the Pages
Adhere the smaller patterned eggs onto the white eggs. I only lined one side of each page with patterned paper, leaving the back blank for journaling and photos.
4. Create the Embellishments
I used sentiments from the Spring into Easter collection and designed tags, banners, and layered shapes in Design Space. I used the Print then Cut feature for clean, professional-looking embellishments.
5. Color the Digi Stamp
The Love Bird Letter Valentine – Wings of Love digi was colored using Ohuhu Alcohol Markers. I kept the tones soft and spring-inspired to match the papers.
6. Decorate the Pages
Once everything was colored and cut, I adhered the embellishments to the inside pages. I layered different shapes and sentiments to add dimension and interest.
7. Bind the Album
Punch two holes along the side of each egg and insert your ring binders. You can add the holes directly in Design Space if you prefer, but I like punching them myself after decorating so I can work around trims and embellishments.
8. Add Finishing Touches
For the cover, I added pompom trim around the edge using a glue gun for extra texture and color. Then I adhered the colored digi to the front page. I also tied ribbons and trims onto the ring binders for that final sweet touch.
This egg-shaped mini album is perfect for Easter memories, spring photos, or even as a seasonal keepsake gift. I love how interactive it feels while still being simple to recreate.
If you’re a Cricut user, grab the template and make your own version. And if you’re not, just trace an egg and start cutting, sometimes the simplest shapes create the cutest albums!
