December daily 2013

Here is the video of my December daily and below is the video where I show you how to create the pages in this alubm.  Check out my Youtube channel if you don't know how to use the hidden hinge binding.

Smash book/Journal/Mini Album.

I wanted to make a smash book using the copic stich binding but I wanted a place for pictures and pockets as well so I combined a simple hidden hinge binding with the copic stich to make a mini album with smash pages in it.

The album in this video I used the stack the deck binding but the 2nd one I'm working on I used the hidden hinge binding system and it works so much better. 

Here is the video for the first album. I'll post another video on my YouTube channel as soon a the album is completed.

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

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.
