Last Saturday I held a fun class creating these mini albums. Here is a whistle-stop pictorial tour of the process:
 |
A toilet roll, flattened by running through the Big Shot
and trimmed to 4"long. |
 |
The card insert cut from thick whisper white card stock
and shaped with the tag punch. |
Put glue the cardboard pocket and cover
with your choice of paper, ensuring the strip of paper overhangs
on each end.
 |
| Snip the paper along the length, up to the edge of the pocket. |
 |
| Put glue on the paper and press down along the edge to neaten. |
 |
Use a bone folder or similar tool to ensure
the paper has adhered well. Repeat on other side of the pocket. |
 |
Cut strips of paper 1" wide and scored at
1/2" then folded in half. |
 |
| Use these strips to neaten the top and bottom edge of the pocket. |
 |
| Repeat to create 4 pockets. |
 |
Cut 2 covers from chipboard and cover with paper and or card,
Punch holes, lining up both covers and all the pockets. Add rings. |
 |
| Ready to decorate with ribbon and trims and wooded hearts |
 |
| Big alphabet dies, confetti punches and stamps |
 |
| Photographs, die cuts and bakers twine. |
 |
| Little envelopes and heat embossed lips for kisses |
 |
| Heart dies |
 |
| Craft ink, ribbon and 3D die cuts |
 |
| Project Life paper clip dies |
 |
| More envelops, stamps and some fussy cutting |
 |
Embossing folders, lace doilies and a button
I loved this project and you could change the theme to suit a variety of different occasions. |
Get gathering those toilet roll and kitchen roll tubes.
