Directions: Shameless stole this idea
from Crystal Terracina who showed me her samples at Leadership 2006 in
January. I LOVE this easy project!
This
entire project is made from less than half of a Scrappin' Memories®
Kit and then some envelopes (more than 15 pull out envelope pages
makes it unsteady... stick with 10)
Embellishing the front, I do use buttons and ribbon, etc.
Step 1: Cut one of the 12x12 sheets into two 6 inch
strips and score at 5 1/4 & 6 inches. Overlap (difficult to see, but
they are overlapped) with about 3/4 inch not overlapped (you
will need the non-overlapped area to equal the "side width" which in
this case is 3/4 inches in the spine). This makes the book close more
square.
Step 2: Envelopes - you will be folding
backward the flap of an envelope and adhering it to the back of
itself. Make about 10 of them. Then adhere them to each
other where they meet (not at the bottom, but at the middle along the
"glue" line). Do not trust the glue on the envelope, but use
monoadhesive to stick.
Embellish the first envelope with one of the kit's "strip".
Step 3: Make the "pull out" pages that go in the envelopes.
Cut the other 12 x 12 sheets to quarter sheets and then use the white
or vanilla sheets and cut to slightly smaller and adhere as shown.
Embellish the "pages" as shown with the pre-adhesive dye cuts in the
kit. Use the "embossing buddy" to the back of the dye cut to
remove the excess "stickiness".
MORE SAMPLES--UPDATES COMING SOON WITH THE NEW SCRAPPIN' MEMORIES KITS
The
far left fold out book is just 5 x 10 inch pieces folded in half and
adhered back to back. The front page is embellished with a
pre-adhesive "strip" that comes with the kit.
