You will need a total of 8 base pages .

Each base page will need these sheets of card stock.

The pockets for the pages:

You will create 2 of each of these page styles to create a total of 8 pages.

The below part will be covered in the next video part 2. But I wanted all the measurements on the same post.

You will now need to create 4 library style pages.

1 sheet cs that measures  6 by 5 3 by 6.  Score the  3 by 6 sheet on the 6" side at 1/2 and 5 1/2". This is the pocket for the front of the undercut page. For the pocket on the back of the page you will need a sheet of cs that measures 7 by 3 1/2. Score on the 7" side at 1/2 and 6 1/2.

Pockets for inside pages. You will create 4 of each style.

You will need 4 sheets of cs cut at 4 1/4 by 9" Score on the 9" side at 1/2 and 8 1/2 " this will be the vertical pockets.
You will then need 4 sheets of cs cut at 4 by 8" Score on the 8" side at 1/2 and 7 1/2. This will be the horizontal pockets
You will need 4 sheets of cs cut at 9 by 3. Score on the 9" side at 1/2 and 8 1/2". This will be the smaller of the vertical pockets.


You don't have to create all of these pockets you can pick and choose what pockets you want on what pages. It's all up to you.

Mini album tutorial

Hi all,
I'm thinking about doing another tutorial on a mini album I've designed but I can't decide which one to do.

There are two albums on my YouTube channel that I really like, so I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on one of those albums. My YouTube vhannel is Superhappyscrapper.

One is called Teresa Collins mini album the other is bird house mini album. Just let me know which one you would like to see a tutorial on and I'll begin working on it please comment below

Cartwheel mini Album tutorial

Hi all.

I used the Cartwheel paper collection and emblishments from Heidi Grace designs to make this album.

The album measures 8 by 6 1/2 the spine is 2 1/2 inches. I used the hidden hing binding from Paperphenomenon.

I designed this album using 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock. I find it harder and harder to find 12 by 12 kraft cardstock locally.

Here is a video of this album.

There are 6 pages in this album. Each page is made from one 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of cardstock and one  7 1/2 by 6 piece.

I posted 2 videos here if you prefer a visual tutorial.

This will be the base page. 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock (cs) Score on the 8 1/2 " side at 1/2 and 8. Score on the 11" side at 6.  

Next cut off the flaps on the 5" side of the cardstock. 

fold the flaps in and add score tape  and place the   7 1/2 by 6 sheet over the flaps to create a pocket. Flip the page over and fold the 5" flap. 

Attach the above piece to the flaps on the base page. 

This is what the front of the base page looks like. I've rounded the corners with my corner chomper. 

There are several pockets and belly bands in this album. You will need to make a total of 2 page designs of each to make a total of 6 pages. 

First page design

1 base page - Attach pocket to inside of flap and belly band to back of base page.

Inside pocket 6 X 3/4. Score 1/2" on 2 short and 1 long side. 

The back of the page has a belly band. 

8 1/2 X 2

Score 1/2 on both short side. 

Inside of base page 1 with pocket. 

Back of base page with belly band attached. 

2nd page style.

1 base page needed. 

This page style I used a border punch on the flap

Inside pocket. 7 X 3 1/2. Score on 2 short side and 1 long side. 

Attach to inside of base page. 

Apply score tape to the flaps and attach to the inside of the base page. 

You will need to cut 2 of sheets of card stock at 6 X 4 3/4 . Score 1/2 on 2 long sides. These will be attached to the back of the page to make 2 pockets. You can use a border punch on the left side of the pocket. 

In this picture you will see a gap between the pockets. Disregard that I measured one wrong when putting together this tutorial. the measurements are correct at 6 X 4 3/4.

The last of the page designs

You will need 1 base page. 

1 sheet cs that measures 8 1/2 by 2 Score 1/2 on both short sides. 

Attach this to the front flap. 

Then you need to make a pocket for the inside of the page. 

Cut cs at  8 1/2 X 3 1/2. Score on 2 short sides and 1 long side. 

Apply score tape to the flaps. Be sure to but the long bottom flap on top of the 2 side flaps to prevent tags from getting stuck. 

Attach pocket to inside of base page. As shown in the below picture. 

You will need to make 2 of each of the above page designs if you want to make the album the same as mine. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Graphic 45 Design team 2013 audition

Hi all.

I'm going to audition for the Graphic 45 design team. I'm so excited to show you these projects I have created and review a couple that I already posted using Graphic 45 papers.

The first round is due by March 21.



So here are my 6 projects.

The first one is a calendar I made using the A place in time paper collection. I cut 1" by 1" squares for the dates and used stickers for the numbers. This measures 12" by 7. Each topper is held to the top with magnets. The back of the calendar also has magnets so it can be hung on a fridge or other metal object.

The Second project I made was a Mini album made from cards and envelopes.The cover measures 5 1/2 by  7 3/4 I used the secret Garden paper collection for this one. I just love this paper pack!

 The following pictures are of the cards that are stuck in each envelope page. 

This album I made using a chipboard cover and spine. The cover measures  7 1/2 by  8 1/2. I used the hidden hinge binding system. Each page is constructed using kraft cardstock.

This next album is made using Ladies diary paper collection from Graphic 45 and file folders from the office supply store. The cover measures  9 1/2 by 9 1/4. I used 7 gypsies binder rings to bind the album. 

This next album measures  5 1/2 by 7 and has a chipboard cover and spine. The paper collection is called Memories by teresa collins. I made this album to house pictures of our recently departed cat Pounce. I loved how it turned out and can't wait to add more pictures and embelishments. 

Here is a video and pictures. 

The only way to properly show this next project is with a video I did on You Tube. 

and the last is a 12 x 12 layout  I did using Olde Curosity Shop papers
