<br />
To start us off, I have a Valentine Box made to share in my classes at Anna Griffin's CREATE V in Atlanta last fall. Everything except the actual box is from Anna's incredible product line, some from my saved stash and some still available on her corporate website - be sure to check it out - www.Annagriffin.com The box is Tim Holtz Idea-ology Configuration #TH93078 and measures 9"x 12" overall. The papers, cutting dies, gold paint, Dresden, embellishments, washi tape and ribbon are all Anna Griffin. It would probably take a book to go through each module piece by piece and I always suggest you add your own personal touches to any project - some basic steps and guidelines are outlined below, and pictures are worth a thousand words, enjoy ............<br />
<br />
Here is the box front overall and close up of center embellishments. There is a "double" doily diecut in the background which was made cutting 2 pieces of the same paper with same die, then using a craft knife to trim straight at center and placing edge to edge creating illusion of one really big doily:<br />

Here is the inside of the cover along with a close up of the decorative pocket which was again 2 of the same corner pocket die cut, overlapped and glued together to create a larger element - the cupid embellishment hides the overlap. <b>NOTE</b> - for extra strength, secure the pocket in place using a heavy duty double-sided tape (Scor or similar):<br />

<b>Here are some basic steps and guidelines:</b></div>
<b>STEP 1 -</b> open and remove all the smaller inside boxes, then paint the outside "middle/book" of the box with Anna Griffin Metallic Gold acrylic paint (by Plaid), allow to dry.<br />
<b>STEP 2</b> - measure, select and cut paper pieces for the front cover, inside cover, back and spine - save all smaller "scrap" pieces of paper for possible use on inside.<br />
<b>NOTE - RIBBONS</b> - two 1" wide, 18" long pieces of light pink double-faced satin. It is important to secure the ribbons in place before gluing papers down. Measure and mark lightly with pencil the center of both inside cover and box front bottom, then glue one edge of ribbon in place - you may have to slightly pry open (with a dull kitchen knife) the bottom area to slip ribbon in, then glue it back together - you can see from the photo that the ribbon goes under the open box front. The inside front cover paper will cover the ribbon edge. Adhere papers using either Xyron, paper glue or your favorite method, be sure to smooth out all bubbles to flatten these larger areas.<br />

<br />
<b>STEP 3</b> - begin to decide what papers you want to go into the small inside boxes. I have found the best way to "cover" these is to FIRST cut a strip of paper that will fit onto the sides and overlap at least 1/4" into the bottom so another piece of paper can be cut to fit the bottom and cover the cut edges. Paper scraps are great for this part - <b>NOTE</b> - the<i><b> paper strip does not overlap the top edge </b></i>of the boxes, washi tape covers it. Cut and adhere (I used paper glue) all papers to <b><i>insides only</i></b> of all the small boxes - allow all to dry and/or rest. Don't forget to stop occasionally and take a breath, this is the most time consuming part of the project and I spent parts of several days so I wouldn't burn out - just saying!<br />
<b>STEP 4</b> - assemble and <b style="font-style: italic;">hot glue </b>down the small boxes back into the larger base box.<br />
<b>STEP 5</b> - use washi tapes to cover and join the top edges of the boxes as well as the outside edges of the cover, back and spine as shown in the photos. <b>NOTE</b> - washi tapes sometimes lose their stickiness, however, you can apply glue or clear mediums with a brush underneath the tape and smooth into place so they will dry and adhere - IF they are still loose, reapply the medium and smooth back down, especially where they overlap and at corners. Allow to dry.<br />
<b>STEP 6</b> - here is the really fun part, loading up the small boxes with fussy cutting, parts and pieces of die cuts, Dresden bling and whatever your hearts desire. Mine include those from Anna's Valentine Stickers and Wedding Toppers as well as Favorite Flowers - you can always cut embellishments apart to fit - just have fun with it! Stack and use foam squares and/or dots to create different elevations. Here are close up photos overall and of each box:<br />

The <b>CENTER</b> Cupid vignette is 2 layers of paper, top diecut is "elevated" by gluing sides into already covered box. Also note how cut pieces of Dresden gold have been added throughout:<br />

Easter is just around the corner and this weekend is a great time to finish up your whimsical cards for kids, grand-kids and kids at heart. I am happy to share some of my favorite bunny and basket cards this year using Anna Griffin kits, dies and embellishments. The first two are from the easel kits - however - you can use those same "card fronts" on a regular 5"x 7" card base. Enjoy .........<br />

These are some of my favorites this year, starting with the newest "Swivel & Pop" cutting die. I also used the Vintage Heart 3D Embossing Folders & Dies as well as the Valentine Doily Dies and a new 6"x 6" Perfect Pattern Card, all with the Vintage Valentine Cardstock - enjoy ........<br />

These two cards used multiple layers of the pre-punched diecuts, cutting and rearranging to create additional dimension. The "frame", on the card with a child decorating a tree, has added corner bows. The Santa has multiple layers on his arms and packages. Adding diecut frames and embellishments further enhances the overall composition - enjoy!<br />

With the popularity of "easel cards", I created a black cardstock shadow box, then added elements from both the Vintage Halloween Card Kit and her newest Halloween Die-cutting Set, the New Easel Hinge Die along with a Frame Die, Word Die and Tag Dies for the sentiment. <b>TIP</b> - sometimes I make a "template sample" of 3D cards out of scrap cardstock (a piece I will never use - LOL) just to be sure my measurements, scores and folds are correct - I always have it as a reference. Remember to create multiple layers for special effects, experiment, play and enjoy!<br />

Above is a close up of the card front, below shows side view with easel back. Begin by cutting the black cardstock large enough to score 1/2" inch for all sides plus 1/2" to wrap around front/top - basically your card size plus one inch (this is a standard 5"x 7" card so my cardstock piece was 6"x 8"). Score all four sides 2 times at 1/2", then fold to form a box shape, next clip the corners to fold into box ends - NOT a triangular corners - adhere and/or paper glue corners to shape and secure. Add the center back print to box - this was a small print and needed to be moved upward to fully see, the fence covered the open area below. Next, add your fencing with foam squares on top of the background, then the front frame, which has been added to another piece of black cardstock, center trimmed away, then adhered to the box frame top. Additional embellishments, pumpkins and bats are adhered into place where desired - enjoy! NOTE - fine lines on embellishments were freehand using a 008 fine line permanent black pen, bat eyes were done with a white gel pen. Enjoy!<br />

There are a variety of these type techniques, this one works best with symmetric designs (same on both the right and left sides) and accompanying concentric (background mat/shadow layer) cutting dies, as detailed in the instructions below. I do hope you will share and use on your upcoming holiday cards as well as throughout the year. Enjoy!<br />

<b>Step #1</b> - choose your cutting die - I know I am repeating myself, but this is most important - a die set that is symmetric (the same on both right and left sides) with the accompanying concentric (background mat/shadow layer) and a piece of the foil color cardstock you desire. It is best to use the heavy weight Anna foil cardstock as it will not tear so easily when embossed in this way. Cut the foil to completely fit over the die.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step #2 </b>- cut the mat/shadow layer first as you normally would, shown below:</div>

<br />
<b>Step #3</b> - place the matching decorative cutting die, with cutting edges up, directly on top of the thick, white "A" Plate, then the mat foil cutout face down on top of the decorative die - remember there will be a slight edge around the mat piece which is larger than the design die - a bit of washi tape will hold it in place without harming the foil surface (photo to left below):<br />

<b>Step #4</b> - stack the plates and material in the following order bottom to top (as shown in photo to right above) - A Plate - design cutting die with edges upward - cardstock mat/shadow layer face down - green rubber mat - B Plate, another B Plate - roll through the Cuttlebug.<br />
<br />
<b>Step #5</b> - remove the stacked plate layers and carefully retrieve the "embedded" cardstock out of design cutting die as shown below. IF any part of the design tears, turn it to the back, smooth down a bit and tape over.<br />

You should now have a completed embellishment. Here are some additional samples using Anna's wonderful Christmas Embellishment Dies. I have also made cards using the Frame Dies, as well as a Valentine card which required "fussy cutting" because they do not have a matching concentric mat/shadow layer die, another option for you to consider. Remember perfection sometimes take practice, enjoy the process!</div>

We will have 3 full days of classes using ALL ANNA GRIFFIN PRODUCTS, to include a 12"x 12" Album, cards and other surprise projects. There will be a open craft room for you during the entire cruise with 1/2 of a 6' table, however, we will NOT have night or in port/on land classes so you can take advantage and enjoy the amenities of the ship, shows and islands.<br />
Your spouse and family are welcome to join us, just remind Cruise & Crop when you sign up so they won't be charged a class fee. Your class fee will include all project materials (a basic supply list will be sent to you), full written instructions with photo guides, an exclusive name tag and tote bag with product surprises, plus tickets for wonderful door prizes during classes.

This is a necklace I designed several years ago with a Tim Holtz watch and other findings, combined with treasures, trinkets, shells and charms I have collected in years of coming to and now living in Florida. The "map beads" are strips of color photo copies rolled up to reveal a meaningful town/city name to me. The piece was featured in Belle Armoire Jewelry by Somerset Publishing a year or so ago, I hope you enjoy and are inspired.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Mosaic Cards</b></span></div>
Hello everyone, hope you are having a delightful Spring! Mothers Day is just around the corner and I wanted to share two cards using a mosaic technique, also known as paper puzzling. I taught a similar design at the Anna Griffin Create event several years ago, it takes a few minutes to do, but well worth the effort.<br />
Basically, you cut multiple colors of papers (in this case pastel metallics and pearls), KEEP ALL THE CUT OUT PIECES in separate little piles. If you have a 2-part die set with a base shape, diecut your paper and run through a Xyron to make it sticker back - <b>NOTE</b> - make sure the Xyron side will be face up when finished so the flower frame and parts will be stuck down in the correct position. Peel paper backing off the base shape with the design frame, then re-assemble the design pieces into the frame (just like a puzzle) to the sticky back side. The completed designs are then mounted on cards with 1/4" foam squares. The "Mom" word die, curly ques and bow are from one of Anna's earlier Spring sets, the 2017 word dies would be beautiful as well. Experiment and enjoy, above all, have a wonderful Mothers Day!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Steampunk Train Case</b></span></div>
This months Graphic 45 Challenge is "Upcycle" and of the many objects available to re-make, I remembered and am sharing a project done several years ago using the <i><b>Steampunk Debutante Collection</b></i> and<b style="font-style: italic;"> Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collections</b> on a unused luggage piece,<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>I hope you will enjoy.<br />
Before we had to worry about how much our luggage weighed, beautiful "wood based" pieces were the norm and particularly the "Train Cases" to carry cosmetics and other necessary travel items. These vary greatly in size and shape and are today a collectors item being revived to carry scrapbook & art supplies. If you are lucky enough to find one with a plastic tray that has survived, it can even become a jewelry case. This was a gift I made for a friend who loved steampunk, I hope these photos will inspire you to find your own to collage and decorate to your heart's content!<br />

<br />
Since everyone's case and papers will be different, I am providing a narrative with photos to explain and show you the process, with lots of techniques and tips along the way. This project cannot be done in a day, patience is the key in building up and letting the layers dry before going to the next phase.<br />
<br />
<b>CLEAN UP</b> - I began with a really dirty case, cleaned the surfaces with a wet, soapy washcloth inside and out, cleaned the silver hardware with a soft scrubby sponge, rinse/wiped all well and allowed to dry overnight. The inside is then coated with "Kilz" (a paint-like, hardware store product that kills mold & mildew), allowed to dry again overnight and ready to decorate:<br />

<br />
<b>COVERING</b> - the edges of this case were ripped and torn so I covered them with a newsprint paper - the photo shows that the outside of the case was already decorated - MY MISTAKE - cover the edges first so you do not have to cut around the prints later at the edge, THEN decorate/collage When the edge papers were dry, I "antiqued" them a bit with acrylic paint as shown below:<br />

<br />
<b>GLUING ON PRINTS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN</b> to collage, choose some larger prints for the background, some medium size for collage build up and smaller size accent prints to pre-cut for fill in - you don't want to stop in the middle of gluing to cut out prints! Now you will begin to decorate, backgrounds first, medium size to cover any gaps and smaller pre-cut for fill-in, accents and to finish completely covering - you can do this one layer at time, allow to set/dry then on to the next layer. <b>IMPORTANT</b> - DO NOT USE a quick dry adhesive for collage projects as they do not allow you time to reposition or move prints - use a collage medium, I recommend Ranger or similar art mediums that have a "open" time to manipulate the design - otherwise, the papers will rip if you want to change them around while gluing.<br />
<br />
<b>ADDING 3D ACCENTS</b> - hen all of your prints are in place - let it rest overnight - then apply at least four more layers of collage medium - dry inbetween - to seal and protect all. To add 3D decorative accents, use a strong adhesive (I like Ranger Glossy Accents), for this case, I chose metal gears, pen nibs and the like to match the prints - the small lizard was a personal favorite of the recipient. Add whatever you like, allow to set/dry then put at least one additional coat of collage medium over to seal.<br />
<br />
<b>METALLIC ACCENTS</b> - next, I added metallic craft paint to the overstitched edges and handle, dried, then "antiqued" with a dark acrylic craft paint (rub off quickly to leave only a trace amount and not cover the metallic).<br />
<br />
<b>LINING</b> - first cut fabric pieces for the top, bottom, back connector and sides (one long piece with one seam to go partially onto the case bottom) and sew on pockets or whatever ribbon, trim or additions you like (some have elastic sewn in to hold scissors, brushes, etc., sew seam to close sides piece. Next cut pieces of poster board to fit top and bottom, as well as a pieces of quilt batting (can be iron-on, at least 1/4" thick) for padding, the sides are not padded.<br />
Use hot glue, ScorTape or a heavy bodied/strong adhesive to glue the top and bottom "back connector" on first, then side lining into place to top edge of interior and down in bottom corners to secure - you should have at least 2 " of fabric going onto the bottom of the case for the bottom padded piece to cover and finish. Stack top and bottom padded pieces individually - poster board, batting, fabric - then wrap fabric around to the back of poster board and secure with your strong adhesive - hot glue into place inside the top and bottom of the case. I finished the inside top and bottom edges with upholstery trim.<br />
<br />

Living in a coastal state, I love all papers associated with beaches, nautical and images related to the ocean. Graphic 45 has produced some of the most beautiful papers on sea life through the years and this collection has become one of my favorites, especially the outlining for us as a fussy cutting guide! This is the second album I have shared with a shadow box top, I have three cats that love to "pick" at dimensional embellishments, so encasing multi layers of cutting provides me the safety of preservation. Other elements, real shells and sand, could also be added, remember these albums live in your house and should be made using your preferences, creativity and design elements as well. The album size is <b>8 1/2"x 11"x 1"</b> premade heavyweight kraftboard <b>3-ring binder with sixteen (16) removable pages.</b> I spent extra time in cutting the prints for and engineering the top, but found it well worth the patience and effort - enjoy!</div>

Here is a peek at the deluxe paper collection, both 12"x 12" double-sided patterns and solids (I used the 8"x 8" papers for extra flower cutting and cards), cover-weight stickers, cardstock diecut embellishments, journaling & ephemera cards. I also used large & small G45 tags. A complete supply list is at the end of instructions.<br />

<b>COVER PREP</b> - since this binder is pre-made, it is only necessary (if desired) to cover the outside edges with coordinating heavyweight cardstock - the same as you will use to assemble pocket pages and photo mats. I match craft acrylic paint with the cardstock color by daubing a bit on the inside, allow to dry, if it matches - paint around the inside metal spine, every corner front and back and in the center back as shown in photos below.<br />
<br />
<b>COVERING EDGES</b> - to be sure, I measure the outside edges of the binder and cut the heavyweight cardstock strips the length x 1" wide to glue on over the edges (photo below) - printed papers will cover the rest. <b> NOTE</b> - do NOT score these strips, rather, glue or ScorTape on one side, then fold and bend them over the binder edges as you glue or tape down the second side. On the corners, trim cardstock at a angle as needed then smooth down to secure, the paint underneath will keep any kraftboard from showing and can be touched up if necessary.<br />

<b>ADDING RIBBON CLOSURE</b> - measure and mark the center point of the cover, on the OUTSIDE, then cut the 1" wide navy ribbon into two 15" pieces. Glue one end on the OUTSIDE cover at center mark, let glue set up then cover ribbon end with tape to secure - do both sides (photo below). The exposed ribbon ends will be covered with printed paper. Ribbon can be trimmed later if too long.<br />
<br />
<b>COVERING OUTSIDE SPINE</b> - To cover and reinforce the spine and top edge behind the metal rings, first glue on a 3"x 11" cardstock piece to the outside cover -<b> NOTE </b>- do NOT try to curve this piece over the edge, in fact, trim if necessary to be flush with the top edge. To finish, add two pieces, 3"x 2" one at top and one at bottom, OVER this outside spine to cover the edge and go behind the metal on the inside (both photos below).<br />

<b>CUTTING PRINTED PAPERS - </b>first remove<b> two</b> of the cover paper piece and set aside, next one dark piece for the cover back, then remove papers that are printed to cut into decorative cards, journaling and other embellishments. Each page has been photographed (below) as a guide, however, you can mix and match to your hearts content once these main pieces have been identified. Not all of the printed pieces are cut into pages, here are the measurements:</div>

COVERS OUTSIDE front and back - two pieces 9 1/2"x 11"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
COVERS INSIDE front and back - two pieces 6"x 8" - NOTE - these shorter pieces go behind the large pockets and do not need to be a full size as the bottom ends will be hidden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
PAGES - eleven pieces 8 1/2"x 11" (NOTE - the large pocket and fold-out pages are made using solid cardstock - measurements below) all corner rounded and 1/4" 3-ring hole punched</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SHADOW BOX SIDES - two pieces 3/4"x 9 1/2" and two pieces 3/4"x 11/1/4"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ALWAYS SAVE extra pieces for border punching, decorative page strips and tabs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>CUTTING</b> <b>PATTERN/SOLID PAPERS</b> - these are cut from the matching double-sided G45 paper pad of "Patterns & Solids" NOT the heavy navy cardstock:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
COVERS INSIDE - for front and back, two pieces 9 1/2"x 11" corner rounded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
POCKET PAGE MATS - two pieces 7 3/4"x 10"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
WATERFALL MAT/BASE - 4"x 8" corner round vertical bottom edge only</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the SOLID side of these papers has also been used for many of the photo/journaling mats throughout - sized 5"x 7" and 4"x 6" - use the page photos as a guide or save to size when photos are added.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
POCKET PAGE INSERTS - two CORAL pieces 7"x 10" both corner rounded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
MATS for Photos/Journaling - 5"x 7", 4"x 6" and 6"x 6" some border punched, most corner rounded</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>USING PUNCHES & TABS </b>- having a large punch stash can be both helpful and a weakness, you just have to use them when you can - thus - I pulled out the "coastal" ones and added them to this project - use what you have to justify keeping them. I used a large border punch on pockets, another as strip, small ones on photo mats and embellishments and the tabs for each page - all have been inked.</div>

<b>COVER PAPER</b> - when choosing a FRONT COVER paper, I look for the maximum amount of detail and design work before cutting, as it becomes more or less the centerpiece of the album. Sometimes I even cut a blank paper piece to put over the print so I am sure it will be where I want it. Once the pattern has been decided, use either ScorTape and/or Art Glitter Glue to secure the paper to the front & back covers, over the ribbons. NOTE - do NOT corner round the cover paper (I did and it almost showed up under the shadow box frame - just saying). Photo below shows how ONE, the base cover paper was cut - the second cover piece is cut apart and used for fussy cut layers. The BACK COVER paper has been both corner rounded and a small oval cut into the center which I will use to sign and/or dedicate the album when finished, it is dark so it won't show dirt so much.</div>

<b>INKING </b>- I use either and/or both Distress and Distress Oxide Inks (with sponge applicators) to accent the edges ALL printed papers, pre-printed cards and solid light color cardstock mats. By mixing ink colors (use two or three on each), you blend to soften and accent the overall look of the papers - experiment, but don't get heavy handed and cover up your beautiful prints. Another item I ink for any papers mounted on metal rings is <b>MATTE REINFORCEMENTS </b>- "pounce" on the same ink colors then peel from backing and apply to front & back of pages before inserting them in the binder. The reason is simple for this one, it keeps the pages from tearing with use. <b>NOTE</b> - it is important to use ONLY the less expensive MATTE reinforcements as the shiny ones will not hold the inks!<br />

<b>COVER's "COVERED"</b> - papers cut, inked, corner round ONLY the back and inside pieces, adhere with ScorTape and/or Art Glitter Glue inside and out. Inside panels are solid blue cardstock (from the double-sided paper pad, NOT the heavy navy), then the short orange print panel and solid paper pockets - border punched, scored 1/2" on three sides, corners clipped, turned, inked then glued in place. Pre-printed panels are also inked and used for embellishment, adhere in place and let it rest.<br />

<b>MAKING POCKET PAGES </b>- these heavy navy cardstock "pages" hold a additional pull-out panel for more photos and/or album memorabilia. I made two - first, score the larger 8 1/2"x 12" pieces 1/2" on top and bottom (vertical) sides, apply either 3/8" ScorTape OR Art Glitter Glue to the edge beneath fold and place the matching smaller 8 1/2"x 10 3/4" piece onto adhesive - creating a open pocket. When these two sides set up/dry, apply glue (NOT ScorTape as it will gum up the hole punch) INSIDE the left edge, smooth to close and secure - when dry, hole punch and add the inked reinforcements to both sides - it is now ready to apply a paper panel, mats and embellishments. Pocket Page <b>INSERTS</b> are inked heavy cardstock panels, corner rounded, applied tabs, photo mats and embellishments - see page photos for placement.</div>

<b>FOLD-OUT PAGES</b> - two are made vertically with the large 12"x 8 1/2" heavyweight navy cardstock pieces, score at 3 1/2" on right hand side and fold (one will fold frontwards, one backwards), corner round, hole punch, add inked reinforcements. Add a solid paper panel to inside along with waterfall mat and panels, see page photos for placement.<br />
<b>WATERFALL </b>elements are made using a base solid color paper and adding paper panels in descending order (see right photo above). Adhere the inked mat to the page first, then score each panel piece 1/2" at top, fold over (fold all of them before gluing onto base mat to be sure they line up correctly and trimmed if necessary) then use ScorTape or glue to secure them onto the mat.<br />
<br />
<b>DIMENSIONAL LAYERING - </b>photo below shows the intricacies of the fussy cutting including "fringing" and adding a second layer to the center of larger flowers. The "stacking" is achieved by using 1/4" foam squares or dots. <b>NOTE</b> - additional fussy cut images from scraps have been added to "fill in" sparce areas of the design. For extra interest, I added Stickles Old Photo as "sand" from the hand of the central figure (photo below) you may have to add several layers for build-up, let them dry in between then add a bit of Diamond Stickles for sand sparkle around her feet. I also added Gold Pearl Dots to some of the flower centers, all of which HAVE TO BE finished and dry BEFORE you add the shadow box top.<br />

<b>CREATING A SHADOW BOX TOP -</b> you do not have to use this type of album top finish, let your individual creativity and taste prevail. It does take a bit of time but is a beautiful addition to any foyer or coffee table.<br />
<b>BALSA WOOD</b> - strips - cut two pieces 9 1/2" long and two pieces 10 3/4" pieces - straight edge, do NOT cut ends at a 45 degree angle. Using the same acrylic craft paint as for binder cover, paint one of the wider 1/4" sides - dry - glue a 3/4" printed paper strip to one unpainted 1/8" side - both shown in photo below. <b>NOTE</b> - these shadow box side paper strips can be cut from the pre-printed paper embellishment sheets or scraps - ends can always be trimmed if needed. When the first glued paper side is dry, fold over to the unpainted 1/4" side and glue in place - again allow to dry, see photo below.<br />

<b>FRAME FINISH</b> - once the paper has dried, glue the papered wood strips to the album top <b>- NOTE</b> - this does not go to edge, but does butt up against or at least cover part of the cover print - trim any areas needed and butt the wood up against each other at ends to form a complete frame (left photo below). When the frame strips have dried, cut one piece 9 1/2"x 11" of "plastic paper" (which is a sheet of heavy clear acetate) to sit on top of the wood strips, encasing the dimensional cover - measure, test for a sure fit and trim if necessary before gluing in place on the strips! Finally, apply a 1/8" ScorTape piece to edge of remaining paper strip, NOW clip corners to a 45 degree angle, peel off backing, gently fold over and onto plastic top - voila - done.<br />

<b>Finished size of this album is 9 1/2"x 7 1/2"x 1 1/4" with 15 double-sided pages</b>, matching cardstock and chipboard stickers, pockets, photo/journal mats and tags. I strongly recommend reading through instructions first, noting tips & hints, looking at photos, then proceeding. I approach each album individually and some of my instructions may overlap or change from previous projects, you may have preferences as well - feel free to review, express, and use them. A photo of each individual page is provided as a guide and a complete supply list is at the end of instructions - remember it's only paper - have fun!<br /><br />
<b>HEAVY WEIGHT CHIPBOARD </b><br />
Covers - front and back - two pieces 7 1/2"x 9 1/2"<br />
Spine - one piece 7 1/2"x 1 1/4"<br />
<br />
<b>"SOLID COLOR" COVER CARDSTOCK </b>- use colors that coordinate with the printed paper collection, in this case I used a darker color on the outside of the album and a lighter color on the inside, both with the same subtle print. My choice was double-sided, heavy weight cardstock by Authentique "Wood Connection", Hot Cocoa One and Sandy Beach:<br />
Outside Covers (darker color) - front and back - two pieces 8 1/2"x 10"<br />
Outside Spine - one piece 8 1/2"x 2 1/2"<br />
Inside Covers (lighter color) - two pieces 9 1/8"x 7 1/8"<br />
Inside Spine - one piece 7"x 3"<br />
Inside Page Sides - two pieces 7"x 3" (to secure pages into cover)<br />
<br />
<b>PRINTED CARDSTOCK</b> - I generally spread out a paper collection and first pull out to cut apart, those pieces printed with cards, journal mats and embellishments. Next, I choose 2 of the same paper I want to use on the cover - I set both aside, one will be cut as the cover background and the second will be cut apart for the fussy cutting layer and embellishments. I will then choose the cover back paper, a darker color that doesn't soil easily laid on a table. Finally, I will line up the rest of the pieces as pages. Please refer to the page-by-page photos as reference to paper sequence OR assemble however you desire. KEEP all "scrap" strips of printed papers for pockets, tag accents or additional embellishments. <b> IMPORTANT</b> - remember to "align" or turn any writing or obvious designs on printed papers to be seen upright and/or read correctly.<br />
Outside Covers - front and back - two pieces 9 1/8"x 7 1/8"<br />
Pages - 4 pieces 12"x 7" - these will be built in side pockets that fold out<br />
Pages - 11 pieces 7"x 9"<br />
<br />
<b>"SCRAP" cuts</b> from above leftover page pieces:<br />
Outside Spine - one piece 8 1/2"x 2 1/2"<br />
Inside front and back pockets - two pieces 8"x 3 1/2"<br />
Tag "tops" - four pieces 3 3/4"x 4"<br />
Page Pockets - two pieces 7 1/2"x 3 1/2"<br />
Spine Strips - fourteen (14) - 7"x 1 1/2" (holds pages together)<br />
<br />
<b>INKING EDGES</b> - if using inks to accent, do this step before building the album cover, simply to let the ink colors "set" into the printed papers. I have used three colors of Ranger Distress Oxides, Worn Lipstick, Iced Spruce and Vintage Photo. PAGES FIRST, line up the page pieces front to back, on those that will have a side pocket, score one of the sides at 3" and turn either to the front or back, THEN corner round ONLY the outside top and bottom edges - DO NOT corner round the edges next to the spine. Please refer to the page photos below if this is confusing. I also keep the inks handy to use later on the pockets and other embellishments.<br />
<br />
<b>COVER CONSTRUCTION</b> - use the photos below to complete this simple 3-piece cover. Place dark cover cardstock face down, place chipboard pieces on top of cardstock - NOTE - larger pieces are flush to inside edge next to spine. Apply 1" ScorTape around edges of covers and 1/2" ScorTape around edges of the spine, peel off backing and flip them over onto the cardstock (left photo below).<br />
Apply 3/8" ScorTape around edges of cover and top & bottom of spine pieces, apply 1/2" ScorTape to side edges of spine piece (right photo below) - smooth down/secure ScorTape with a bone folder.<br />

You are looking at the inside of the album, now line up and place the larger cover pieces next to and on top of the cardstock of the spine piece - <b>IMPORTANT</b> - leave at least a 1/8" gap between the covers and the spine so the album will fold and close when completed (left photo below). To finish the corners, peel off the ScorTape backing, square up the paper and turn over and onto the chipboard (right photo below), use a bone folder to smooth into place. There are many ways to make finish off album corners, please use whichever works for you. </div>

Once all corners have been secured, use a bone folder to GENTLY begin to smooth the cardstock edges around the chipboard covers - I like to start by easing cardstock straight up next to chipboard edge (left photo below), then over, down and onto the ScorTape on the chipboard (right photo below), Use Art Glitter Glue to secure corners (tape has been covered) or other loose edges if needed.<br />

Next we will finish the inside spine by peeling off the tape backing (left photo below) and wrapping the top and bottom cardstock pieces over the edge (right photo below), again using the Art Glitter Glue to secure any papers where tape has been previously covered, as there will otherwise be nothing to hold the wrapped edge in place.</div>

The next step seems to be where one can rip paper and pretty much get disgusted with the process, so lets go through it slowly and then proceed. The inside cardstock paper piece that covers the spine is really one of the most important - <b>TIP</b> - I use Art Glitter Glue instead of ScorTape for this piece because if I place it wrong, I can quickly lift and change. The photo at left below shows the finished piece -<b> NOTE</b> - the 1/8" space we left on each side of the spine has the paper pushed down and into the area to create a space for the album to fold closed. To do that, you need to glue down from side-to-side so you can use your bone folder to GENTLY push and work paper into the spaces. NOTE - there is already ScorTape down in the space and the glue will not affect it so gently smooth it down onto one cover, into one depression, over the chipboard spine and down into the second depression then over onto the chipboard cover - a picture is worth a thousand words:</div>

Once the inside spine cardstock piece is in place, you can flip the cover, align and adhere the printed papers (photo above right) as well as the cream doily to the center front of the album (photo below). <b>NOTE</b> - before gluing on, I sometimes cut a circle or oval out of the back paper piece (to cover back of album) as shown, which gives me a place to sign, date or otherwise note and dedicate as a gift - completely your choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>RIBBONS</b> - at this stage, I will also add ribbon closures (photo above), two pieces each 1" wide by 12" long, glue on INSIDE front and back covers, set/dry, cover edge with transparent tape to secure. <b>NOTE</b> - for this album, we will NOT be gluing on the inside cover papers as yet, they will be finished when the pages are secured - set it aside and let it rest for now - then take a breath!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>PAGE ASSEMBLY</b> - for this album, the process is a fairly easy one, I have used "simple spine strips" to hold pages together so both sides of these beautiful papers can be seen, used and appreciated. The fourteen (14) strips were cut 7"x 1 1/2" to accommodate the use of a border punch on both sides (right photo below), then scored down the middle and folded - <b>NOTE</b> - do NOT apply ScorTape to back of papers before punching, as it gums up the punches - we will glue these in! </div>

Larger pages that have fold out sides, should be glued in place and corner rounded before assembly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stack pages front to back in order you prefer, then to assemble, use a bit of glue along the outside edge<b> on the back of a paper strip</b>, line up (at top, bottom and sides) and <b>place against the back edge of a page</b> and smooth down - remember the corner rounded edges are at outside right of pages. <b> NOTE </b>- you only need to cover the back 2/3 of the paper strip width with glue, in fact, it is good to have a little unglued room at the back of the pages to spread out and secured into the cover. When one strip side is "set", gently re-fold along score line if needed, apply glue to 2/3 of the second side, place on NEXT page (make sure the writing or design is correctly upright), smooth in place, allow to set - etc., etc., your pages will stack and come together as a booklet (photos below) - allow to set/dry.</div>

Now that the pages are stacked and secured together, glue on the front and back spine side pieces - also border punched and inked (left photo below), these paper "flaps" will secure the pages into the album cover. Once set, apply 1" ScorTape to the "inside" edges of the paper flaps (right photo below).<br />

Next, <b>ONE SIDE AT A TIME</b>, peel backing from ScorTape, align, place and smooth onto the covers (photos below), front and back <b>- NOTE</b> the paper piece is slightly larger than exposed chipboard - perfect, this will be covered with the inside paper pieces (photos below).<br />

<br />
<b>POCKETS</b> for inside covers and pages are "wide" border punched at top, scored 1/2" around bottom and sides, corners clipped, turned, INKED, then glued into place (use page photos as a guide).<br />
<b>PHOTO-JOURNAL MATS</b> - Ivory Artisan Cardstock pieces have been frame punched (design goes all the way around and size depends on punch instructions). All of course is your choice, I felt it added whimsy and texture to the album and I have a large stash of punches to use. <b>NOTE</b> - I like to cut apart and use the printed "cards" that come with paper collections - I particularly like the small ones to ink and glue into the corners of pages to hold photo/journal mats - remember - using a multitude of mats can increased the number of photos you include - photo on front, journaling or additional photo on back, with additional photos on the page itself - it also shows off the papers!<br />
Unpunched mats are Ivory, Light Pink and Medium Blue, 5"x 7" and 4"x 6", corner rounded, all are inked then place in pockets and small corner cards as shown in page photos.<br />
<b>EMBELLISHMENTS</b> - use the matching collection stickers and chipboard pieces with seam binding ties, as well as cutting the "stamp" prints with decorative edge scissors (left photo below). <br />
<b>FUSSY CUTTING</b> - is done with small "decoupage" scissors, layers over and duplicates the background design, plus fills in sparce areas, all elevated with 1/4" foam squares (right photo below). NOTE - top part of the rose has been cut out to provide a space for the bird's nest.<br />
<b>BIRD'S NEST </b>- was made using Wood Excelsior, cupped and shaped into a nest then "inserted" down into top of the cut out rose on cover (right photo below) along with 3 small plastic eggs glued into the nest. I let the glued nest dry, added more glue to secure loose tendrils onto the eggs.<br />
<b>TAGS</b> - are pictured after the page photos, printed papers cut and corner rounded inked, tags too are inked, tied with seam binding and inserted inside front and back covers.<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Sweet Sentiments</span></b></div>
Spring has sprung and Easter is almost here, so I am sharing a Graphic 45 "Sweet Sentiments" album originally published in a Somerset Magazine Gallery, but the instructions were not published. The size is a 8"x 8" (there are three of each double-sided printed page in this size G45 paper pad) and I used all three layers of the cover print, two layers of which are 3D fussy cutting. All has been protected and encased in a shadow box top using "plastic paper" from Bazzill. I hope you find this project timely and the opportunity to pull from your beautiful G45 stash to complete - most of all enjoy the process!<br />

<b>ALBUM BASE</b> is a Graphic 45 kraftboard Easel Album 8"x 8" with six cardstock pages. At the opening of the metal spiral binding, use needle nose pliers to carefully spread and remove the pages to set aside and decorate - see photo below. Keep this spiral to replace and hold the album back together when complete. NOTE, a handmade chipboard/cover cardstock book could also be made to fit this project, using a hinge/pocket spine for pages - adapt accordingly for your supplies.<br />

<br />
Once separated, use a craft knife to cut down either side of the "easel folded bottom" to remove from the covers - see photo below. Use a piece of washi tape on the raw cut edges to seal. Choose a complimentary acrylic paint color to paint the front & back covers AS WELL AS the edges of each of the six cardstock pages as shown, on both sides - is not necessary to completely paint, as the printed papers will cover most of the surface areas - dry. <br />

<br />
When the cover is dry, add a 8" piece of inked seam binding to both front and back, edges to be sealed under the cover papers - I knotted ends of both pieces to tie close the album NOTE today I would instead add pieces of 1" double-faced satin ribbon before applying papers - your choice.<br />
<br />
<b>COVER</b> "construction" begins with one of the three cover prints applied flat on top of a painted cover piece, glue to the center area a inked white paper doily with the center cut away. The two matching cover prints are then trimmed apart in sections, fussy cut, shaped and applied to the flat print using 1/4" sponge squares and in some cases, just plain paper glue. NOT ALL areas use all three prints, most have only two layers and I used the third print to cut the smallest flowers for additional "fill". Look for ways to tuck some elements under others to appear 3D. Allow any glued areas to dry, then apply a bit of Stickles Diamond to cupid image wings and butterflies, just for punch and fun!<br />
<br />
Once you have completed the 3D layers, cut four strips of heavyweight chipboard 8"x 1/2" to fit the sides of cover print. Cover one 1/2" side of these chipboard pieces with paper strips on the inside, then glue "standing up" onto the cover to simulate a frame - NOTE - I glue these pieces on one at a time and hold until they set OR you could apply using a hot glue gun. Once the frame is secured, glue on additional paper strips 8" x 1" to the outside of the frame and wrap upward, keeping at least 1/4" to fold over the top.<br />
<br />
<b>PLASTIC PAPER</b> is 12"x 12" and sold by Bazzill, now owned by American Crafts - a wonderful lightweight clear top that I often use. I did search and learn that it is still available, you might find it in your area at a independent craft store, or you may write/email them for purchasing information. Measure and cut the plastic paper piece to fit into and on top of the chipboard strips - it should lay flat on them - after testing size, apply glue to the top edge of the chipboard frame and drop on the plastic paper - allow to dry. Once the plastic top has dried in place, wrap the remaining paper strips over and onto the top, clip corners to form a frame closure, then use either a good glue or 1/4"ScorTape to secure.<br />
<br />
<b>PAPER CUTS:</b> PAGES of printed papers are cut 7 1/2"x 8" to allow for wire binding,<br />
POCKETS are 8" x 4 1/2" border punched, NOT folded under but applied straight to page edges,<br />
TAGS are solid cardstocks 6 1/2"x 4" with a mat of 3"x 5" + inked reinforcements<br />
PHOTO panels 6"x 6 1/2" ad 4 1/2"x 6 1/2" - some with sized solid mats,<br />
COVER panels inside front and back 6"x 6" border punched,<br />
EMBELLISHMENTS are cut from a pre-printed paper in pad, some with decorative edge scissors,<br />
SEAM BINDING tag ties are six at 4", inked, dried, and knotted on ends,<br />
then all of these pieces are inked with combinations of inks.<br />
<br />

The base of this album is a small Tim Holtz idea-ology Collection Folio with cascading tabs, approx. closed measurements are 7 1/2"x 9". Additional supplies are listed below. When I taught this as a class project, I realized each of these are hand made and the papers should be measured and cut individually to fit your album. The following photo tour of the album will show you details and guide you through its process. I hope it will inspire your creativity and that you enjoy!<br />

<br />
First I choose the papers to use on the outside folio cover (left photo below) and inside of the folio cover (right photo below). Align the prints appropriately to cut, then corner round the outside edges to match the folio. I did not ink the cover until these papers were glued into place, however, all other papers for pages, embellishments and reinforcements were inked before insertion. Next, I identify the paper to be cut into "cards & embellishments" and determine what papers will be used through the folio and cut them accordingly - saving scraps as I go, in fact, the smaller pages can be made from scraps as well as page tabs and paper strips.<br />
A pocket of scrap has been made for the inside cover 6"x 3", border punch, score 1/2" on three sides, trim, turn under and ink.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>NOTE</b> - holes must be re-punched in cover papers (after they dry) and inked reinforcements added before reinserting the elastic closure band.<br />

<b>INKING</b> - I vary my ink colors to match the papers (see photos below), we will also ink and stencil the two manila tags (left photo below), then clear stamp + embossing powders to heat emboss the images, both have inked reinforcements (matte finish so ink will stick) and crochet cotton string that has also been inked and tied. Punch and ink two tabs for every pages, glue them on the pages back-to-back for strength.</div>

<b>Finished size of album is 10 1/2"x 8 1/2" x 1 1/2" </b>using <b>19 pieces of double-sided papers, </b>matching ephemera pack, designer clear stamps and element stickers along with <b>14 pieces of the CCC Artisan Linen Cardstock in Brown</b> and <b>4 in Ivory</b> for photo/journaling mats. I used a simple hinge on which to "mount" four large pocket pages - there are many variations of this method on YouTube, I particularly favor those from Tamra Kilgore-Merrill and hope you will look them up as well. Two of the Echo Park clear Page Pockets have also been added, a detail of their cutting and insertion is explained in instructions.<br />

<br />
<b>COVER CONSTRUCTION</b> - this album has two spine sections so a flap can overlap the top to close - I have several other albums on previous blog posts detailing construction methods that could be used as well. <b> NOTE</b> - laid out flat, the album was too wide to get into one photo, so for these steps, I have taken two photos & placed them side-by-side so you can see both sides.</div>

Add 1/2" wide ScorTape to edges of chipboard pieces as shown, then add Art Glitter Glue to the rest of the overall piece - FLIP OVER onto cardstock and smooth into place. NOTE - chipboard goes to the edge of the solid cardstock on several pieces so the spine can be secured in subsequent steps.</div>

Next, add 3/8" ScorTape around the edges of the chipboard, as shown below AND 1/2" ScorTape to the cardstock edges around the spine pieces (seen at right). First peel tape backing away from sides of the chipboard spine pieces and place the larger chipboard pieces approx. 1/8" apart - VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - do not place these pieces too close together, otherwise, when they are bent at the crease to fold, the cardstock will crack and tear - the MINIMUM is ONE EIGHT INCH. A second piece of cardstock is then added down the middle of the spine piece (third photo below), and the 1/8" "gully" between the chipboard pieces is GENTLY pushed together with bone folder to secure - this is the fold of the album. Next, peel away ScorTape backing on the outside edge of the cardstock and fold over corners (left photo below), then onto the chipboard sides, using a bone folder to smooth down and secure:</div>

<b>MAGNETS</b> - to close the album, I used three large round magnet sets from Country Craft Creations. In the left photo below, you will see that I measured and marked the inside center of the front flap and two additional side marks closer to the ends. I placed 1/2" ScorTape onto the marks (shown in pink), peeled off the tape backing and placed the magnet set (keep both sides together) on top of the ScorTape, added a second piece of ScorTape to the back side of the magnet (still attached to the front side), peeled the backing away and gently eased the flap over - lining up the sides of the album cover and pressing the magnets onto the front of the album! Voila - they should be in the right place and lined up correctly. <b> NOTE</b> - this has to be done before gluing on printed papers.<br />

When outside of album is covered and magnets secured, I find it easier to adhere the prepared cover papers - as shown below - this is especially important if a inside hinge is being used, because the album will not sit flat to smooth out the papers when the hinge is done - just saying! For added interest, I have cut a small oval into the back cover paper to sign and date after finishing (using a permanent metallic pen), if using as a gift, I will also write the recipients name.<br />

<b>INSIDE HINGE</b> to secure cardstock "pocket" pages: I have prepared for you a "second hinge" in a lighter color, just so you can better see the details and measurements - if I am working out a design and not sure what my measurements will be, I prepare a "mock up hinge" before I cut into the good cardstock - practice makes perfect! The brown cardstock, however, showed up better placement of ScorTape - forgive any confusion - the results are the same.<br />
The paper piece is 8" high to fit the inside spine of the album and 7 3/4" wide to accommodate the number of hinges I needed, and enough paper on each side to secure into the album. Score vertically - first at 1 1/2", then 1/2", another 1/2" and then 1/8" - continue with 1/2", 1/2", 1/8" - etc. as shown in left below. The 1/2" sections will fold over leaving the 1/8" sections exposed. ScorTape 3/8" wide is used down one side of a 1/2" sections to fold together (see brown cardstock example below). </div>

Once all is scored and folded, add 3/8" ScorTape to one side of the 1/2" paper fold, and around the edges of the sides - see below. ONE SECTION AT A TIME, peel away ScorTape from the 1/2" hinge sections, and join the two sides together - continue until all are done (right photo below):</div>

Next, add a 1" piece of ScorTape down the middle back of the hinge section, peel and place into the album - on the spine. NOTE - because I am adding waterfall pages to the inside front of this album, I chose to "offset" the hinged section into the album, as shown in the photo below. Another option would be to add additional pages, as there is ample room to do so - your choice. You can also see from the photo looking down into the album, the paper on each side of the hinge secured onto the chipboard covers, which will be covered up with printed papers shortly. Take a breath and let it rest.<br />

<b>CARD STOCK Pocket Pages</b> - are made with two pieces and OPEN BOTH ENDS, the front panel is 10"x 9", scored 1/2" on both top and bottom, and half punched on one 9" side with 1/1/2" circle punch to pull out inserted papers. The back panel is 10"x 7 3/4" with no scoring or punching - plain.<br />
"Flip panels" (left photo below) are another great album addition, I used scrap cardstock pieces with the name edge still on, because it will be scored and turned under for no one to see. The right photo below shows a side flip panel and the third photo below shows a top (or bottom) flip panel - corner round and adhere flip panels onto cardstock pages BEFORE gluing the page sides together!<br />

<b>CLEAR POCKET PAGES</b> - another addition to any size album is adding clear pocket pages. Many paper collections have printed "card" panels that can be cut apart and used for photo mats or journaling and fit perfectly into these pockets. I start with a Echo Park clear pocket page, overall size is 6"x 8", then I cut off the "stitched" plastic strip on outside edge of side, then to fit this smaller album, I cut apart the two pockets just below the top "stitch" line (left photo below). I then add 1/2" ScorTape to both sides of the spine side, just outside remaining side "stitch" line (right photo below).</div>

To secure clear pocket into the cardstock page, peel off one side of ScorTape and place onto either top or bottom of the page side, as photo below shows. (This is easier to do before the pages are glued together and papers are glued on, I forgot to take the photo then). <b>NOTE</b> - it is important that the side "stitch" line of the clear pocket NOT be behind the cardstock edge, but rather beside, to press down flat when folded (right photo below). The second piece of Scor Tape will be peeled when the pages are secured onto the hinge of the album.</div>

Once all the flips and clear card pockets are in place on the cardstock page pieces, glue and/or otherwise adhere the two page panels, for each of the four pages - lining up the plain back panel to the scored sides of the front panel. At this point, you have four separate cardstock pocket pages (not glued into the album yet), and I found it easier to now glue on all of the papers, ephemera and embellishments. Use the photos below as a guide and add or change to your hearts content. </div>

<b>ADDING PAGES to ALBUM </b>- I found using ScorTape to put the pages into album could be a bit tricky if you had to "re-adjust placement", so I used Art Glitter Glue. FIRST, trim the top and bottom ends of the hinges at a SMALL angle so the pages will slide on easier. There is already ScorTape on the clear card pockets, so I separate the page panels by inserting my hand down into them, peel off tape backing, <b>add glue to the hinge in the album</b>, and slide the page sides down onto the hinge. Wipe off any excess glue if needed, then smooth the page sides against the hinge to secure. <b>NOTE</b> - the glued pages usually stand straight up in the air to dry and that is OK - you may have to turn the album on its side for a few minutes - this is the difference in using ScorTape which you would just smooth on and be done with - your choice. Adhere all four pages into place - ONE AT A TIME.</div>

<b>WATERFALL</b> - I added a paper waterfall element to the inside front of the album using cardstock as a backing mat. I used cut printed paper scraps for this, added a 1/2" hinge to the top back, then glued them in place onto the mat, however, you could also cut larger paper pieces, score them 1/2" at the top, fold over and glue onto the mat - either way works. </div>

The special part of this waterfall is the ribbon closure (1 yard each, two colors of seam binding), which has been "threaded" into the backing mat. After the mat has been cut and one side corner rounded, turn to the back, measure and mark the center top and bottom, then glue on another small 1"x 1 1/2" square of cardstock to the edge (left photo below) - allow to dry. Now use a craft knife to cut a horizontal 1" slit into the reinforced cardstock approx. 1/4" from the edge, so the ribbon can feed through to the front (right photo below). Secure the ribbon in place on the back with tape. Turn back to the front and adhere the waterfall papers into place, tie the ribbon and you are done.</div>

<b>COVER detail - </b>I used inked, printed paper scraps, Indian head fussy cut from card then sliced to go above & below buffalo strip, Ephemera and a small silver buckle with embroidered arrows (I found at Jo-Anns). The left side buffalo paper strip was glued to a 1/8" black foam sheet, cut out and glued on album, the matching right side buffalo piece and other papers were glued on flat. The embroidered arrows were cut apart, one arrow tail was threaded through the buckle and hot glued on, the others cut to fit and also hot glued.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Happy New Year and welcome to my first CCC project for 2018, a<b> 8"x 10"x 2 1/2" album</b> using the beautiful "Homespun" paper collection from Blue Fern Studios along with a matching laser cut chipboard cover piece, self-adhesive chipboard embellishments, clear stamps and glitter embossing powder. This album is a delightful mix of cooking, sewing and floral vignette's, with added clear pocket pages for recipes or family keepsakes. I always find it easier to read through instructions first, copy & paste to print, gather my supplies, then proceed. Whatever your method, I hope you enjoy!</div>

<b>CUTTING PRINTED PAPERS:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
generally 12" x 12" paper collections include two of each piece so you have more than one way to maximize the graphic elements of the papers. Cut off the manufacturers word band, then look at the most prominent areas you wish to include and cut accordingly. FIRST pick out one each of any papers printed to be cut into embellishments and journal cards (photo above) - I use the other side of the second sheet of these papers for the outside OR inside covers, front and back, because the multi-print images will not be seen again. Next, choose and set aside the papers for the cover (usually your favorite from the collection), and any other papers to be cut larger than the single page size (as shown below), these larger pages use the full 12" width or height for "fold over" pocket pages that hold photo mats, journal cards, tags, etc. <b>NOTE</b> - the "ABC" pocket set (below right) has been cut from 2 sheets of paper, it then appears to join in the center.</div>

<b>SOLID COLOR CARD STOCK - </b>is what we use to cover the chipboard pieces to make a album or book base from scratch. Premium, heavyweight cardstock is a must, the textured varieties are best. CCC has wonderful Artisan Cardstock in its store in a variety of colors. If you have stash (like me), a similar color to match those in the printed papers will do fine as long as it is of the same quality.</div>

<b>COVER CONSTRUCTION - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the album base is heavyweight chipboard, two 8"x 10" for the cover front and back ; one 2 1/2"x 10" for the cover spine. Apply 1" ScorTape to the three chipboard pieces, then peel away tape backing, flip the chipboard piece over and adhere to the solid cardstock - <b>NOTE</b> - the two large cover pieces go all the way to one edge of the solid cardstock, the spine piece goes in the center - as shown below - you will still have three separate pieces. The Glitter Glue is also pictured as a reminder that you can use instead of the Scor Tape, however, I find that the tape works best</div>

Then, remainder of tape backing is peeled away and sides are GENTLY eased up and over the chipboard with a bone folder to secure. Once the covers are "wrapped", the tape on solid cardstock sides of the spine piece is peeled away and the covers are positioned 1/8" AWAY from the spine chipboard - <b>NOTE </b>- you MUST leave this space between the cover pieces and the spine piece so the album will fold - it is generally between 1/8" to 1/4" (see photo below). Add a 1/2" piece of ScorTape to top and bottom of spine piece for later overlap.</div>

Now peel tape from the spine chipboard, center and apply the solid cardstock inside spine piece, smooth down, then GENTLY use the bond folder end to push the solid cardstock INTO the gap between the spine and cover pieces, creating a indentation so the album will open and close (photo on left). When both of the indentations are complete, use Glitter Glue to adhere cardstock to chipboard. To finish, peel tape backing from top and bottom of cardstock and smooth over to the inside of the album with bond folder. I did not add a panel of color cardstock to the chipboard as I will be covering it with printed paper, however, you should do so if you prefer.</div>

<b>ATTACHING RIBBONS</b> - in order for the ends of the ribbons to be hidden, they have to be applied at this point - before the printed papers are adhered. Mark the inside center front and back of your cover and apply a piece of 1" ScorTape as shown. The ribbons I used are two 15" pieces of olive polyester - I would have preferred a pink double-faced satin, but could not find - pick your favorite. I am always asked how I keep the ribbon ends from raveling - <b>TIP</b> - designate a sharp pair of scissors for ribbons only, use then to cut the ribbon ends (I like pointed ends), then add a TOUCH of Glitter Glue to your finger tip and run the ribbon edge through it, just so the edge is secured - allow to dry - snip off any reveling and you should have a piece that will not ravel further. You do not need to apply glue to both ends as one will be covered by paper.</div>

Peel tape backing off and attach the ribbon end to the chipboard, smooth down with bone folder then use regular (transparent) tape to cover as shown in photo:</div>

A 12" CREAM color doily has been trimmed and glued to the front of the album as shown above, as well as the "Home Sweet Home" chipboard element which was first painted with pink acrylic craft paint, dry, Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink applied, then Pink Glitter Embossing Powder sprinkled on and heat set with heat gun. Finished piece is then glued onto piece of cover matching solid cardstock, trimmed, then Glitter Glued onto the album cover. The finishing touch was a trimmed house image from my scraps with inked edges, mounted to cover on foam squares.</div>

<b>PAGE ASSEMBLY</b> - I assembled my pages using the "simple spine" technique to showcase both sides of these beautiful papers - HOWEVER - you can easily adapt page insertions using the hinge system(s) and/or any other method you prefer, including hinged pocket pages. PLEASE remember that this is YOUR album and you may adjust and adapt wherever you desire!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The "simple spine" technique uses 1" paper strips (use scraps from your paper cuts) - cut to length of the pages, then score in half and apply 3/8" Scor Tape to both sides at the edge - avoiding the middle fold, as shown below. Be sure to count both paper and plastic pocket pages so you have enough spine pieces. Before adding the pocket pages, TRIM the outside sealed edge (as shown below), this piece is unnecessary and creates a bump in the spine. Line up your pages in preferred order, then begin to assemble, back to front. Do not add a spine piece to either the front or back of first and last pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Spine pieces are placed between each paper and pocket page - peel the ScorTape paper backing off ONE SIDE AT A TIME, position and smooth down the page (both paper and plastic). As you continue to add pages, stack and line them up evenly before peeling the second piece of ScorTape, stick and smooth down, use binder clips if needed to help you secure everything in its proper place.</div>

<b>NOTE </b>- the plastic pocket pages do not measure the same height as the paper pages, they are about 1/2" shorter on top and bottom - I made the mistake of clipping corners off the spine pieces of the pocket pages as I built the album - do NOT do that because the album tends not to lie flat and pull apart and that little bit of paper spine does not affect the overall look! Once all the pages are secured with spine strips, ink the top and bottom edges - we did not ink the spine edges before so they will still be white.<br />

<b>SECURING PAGES TO COVER -</b> you should have two "page attachments" solid cardstock pieces, 2 1/2" x 9 1/2" to border punch each on one side. Use Glitter Glue to attach these at one inch to front and back page of assembled page stack, as shown below. Add one inch ScorTape to the unpunched side of the attachment pieces, peel off backing and secure to the cover(s) of the album. <b> NOTE</b> - I messed this up by gluing in the inside cover pieces, which you see peeled back to insert the pages (it was a mess to peel back and correct!) - the inside cover pieces should NOT be glued in until the pages and the ribbons are secured!<br />

<b>MAKING EMBELLISHMENTS </b>- this beautiful collection had matching clear stamps which I used with the Distress Inks and heat set embossing powders which I then scalloped punched, as shown. <b> NOTE </b>- I also used many of my stash personal collection of sewing stamps, mostly Anna Griffin, to use what I have on hand. Pockets were made using scrap papers, border punch's, score at 1/4" on three sides, clip corners and turn under, INK edges and either Glitter Glue or ScorTape onto album inside cover or page. I punched buttons, inked the edges and added embroidery floss for fun.<br />

As we busily prepare for upcoming celebrations, remember to take lots of photos with family and friends to fill this heirloom album, made with the beautiful <b>Blue Fern Studios "Vintage Christmas"</b> paper collection and matching self-adhesive chipboard shapes. This book has 20 pages with extensions, pockets, mats and journaling cards to record your memories. I am using the Graphics 45 album (described & photo below) which is a "ring binder", thus, we will not be building a hinge system for the pages, I will instead concentrate on giving you tips and techniques for covering, die cutting and decorating the album front - a much requested technique in a recent survey conducted by Kimmy Murray (thank you!). Enjoy and please share this blog site with like minded friends!<br />

I used 24 pieces of 12" x 12" heavy weight, double sided printed papers, basically two each of 12 designs. These papers are not matted onto a solid color background, but heavy enough to stand on their own so both sides can be appreciated and used as a page. Also used is <b>Country Craft Creations 12" x 12" Artisan Cardstock</b> - 4 Evergreen; 2 Ivory; 4 Burgundy, and 4 of the 8 1/2" x 11" White Pearl. I am also pleased to be using (with Tamera's permission) the wonderful Anna Griffin detailed embellishment dies. A complete supply list is at the bottom of instructions.</div>

The album cover is <b>Graphic 45 Kraft Mixed Media Album, 8 1/4" x 8 3/4" x 2"</b> with inserts. We will not be using the inserts, but keep them as pages & patterns for future projects. I slightly reduced the insert page size to 6" x 8" so we can cut two pages from a single sheet of 12"x 12" papers - saves paper and increases the size of the album.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This album page size is 6"x 8"</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>CUTTING the PRINTED PAPERS</i> - </b>FIRST, I pull out one each of papers that are preprinted "panels", cards or other designs that need to be cut apart, to be used as pocket cards, index tabs, etc. I then select papers for the cover, back and inside, including the tree & roses designs to be cut out for embellishments, set them aside for the moment to be sure you have the desired cover look you want! NEXT I chose 2 papers to be used for large envelope pages. NEXT - select 2 or 3 papers for pockets and fold-out pages, because these too need to be cut larger than the standard page size.<br />
Cut off the manufacturers word band, then decide how you want the design area to show on the page - detailed border print papers can be aligned to cut 4" off the bottom OR top, then cut again at 6" center to end up with 2 pages. Designs centered at the top or bottom of the page can be "cut around", sometimes I do not use them on a cut page, but trim them away for additional embellishments, then use the rest of the paper piece to cut into page sizes. Please refer to the below photographs of each page set to see how the prints are used in this album - of course you can be creative and cut any way you desire! SAVE all your scraps for add on pockets (those not cut into the page), diecuts, waterfall cards & embellishments.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>COVER </b>cut is 8 1/4" x 6 1/4"; Back cover is 8 1/4" x 7 3/4"; Inside front cover is 8 1/4" x 7 3/4"; Inside back cover is 8 1/4" x 6 1/2"; Inside spine piece is 8 1/4" x 1 3/8".<br />
<br />
<b>ENVELOPE </b>pages are 11" x 11" (Mine are folded on the We R Memory Envelope Maker).<br />
<b>FOLD-OUT POCKET </b>pages are cut 12" x 6" and scored at 4" from bottom (on 12" side).<br />
<b>SIDE FOLD OUT</b> pages are cut 8" x 9 1/2" and scored at 2 1/2" (on 9 1/2" side).<br />
<b>Regular PAGES</b> - of 12" x 12" pieces are cut to the 6" x 8" size as described above.<br />
<b>SCRAPS</b> are cut into - Inside front cover pocket is 7 1/4" x 4 3/4"; Inside back pocket is 6" x 4 3/8"; add on (glued in) page pockets (not diecuts) are 5 1/2" x 3"; Journal cards are 4" x 6"; Waterfall cards are 4" x 3 1/2"; other add on pockets are diecut and size varies for diecut shape - cut accordingly.<br />
<br />
<b><i>CUTTING the SOLID COLOR</i></b> papers using heavy weight 12" x 12" CCC Artisan Cardstock - Evergreen 1" x ? - each album is hand made and you will need to measure from the cover fabric edge to the outside album edge for your length - 4 strips are cut for the top and bottom, front and back; 2 longer strips are cut for the front and back side edges (see photo below).<br />
<b>PHOTO MATS</b> are cut 4" x 6" from the Evergreen, Burgundy and White Pearl Artisan Cardstock then corner rounded but not inked<br />
<b>JOURNAL CARDS</b> are cut 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" from Ivory Artisan Cardstock, corner round & inked.<br />
<br />
<b>CORNER ROUND</b> before inking, the right hand page edge, top and bottom, with a large corner rounder - fold any extended pages to punch so edges will match. I DID NOT corner round any of the left side edges on the ring binder side (to be hole punched) - your choice. I also used both a large and small corner rounder on some of the pocket photo mats and journaling cards - again, your choice.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>INKING</b> - once I have cut out and corner rounded all the printed pages, cards and embellishments, I use two or more colors of Ranger Distress Oxide inks by Tim Holtz to accent the edges. For this album, I used three colors - Iced Spruce, Peeled Paint and Fired Brick. That might sound excessive and silly - BUT - by using three different colors, I am able to maneuver the inks in various shades. Use a separate ink applicator for each color. DO NOT SATURATE your sponge applicators with ink, you only need to skim the surface to create a shade to match your papers, its easier to pick up & add more ink if you need rather than try to remove after applying. Start with the Iced Spruce, apply completely around the edges, then add the other colors where desired - note the different shades on the page photographs.<br />
You will also ink a 10" piece of the 2" wide heavy lace using small sponges/Q-tips to apply pastel shade of red on the flowers, green on scallops and spruce on the straight edge - less is more!<br />
<br />
Ink 3 sheets of matt finish reinforcements - do not use the glossy ones as they will not hold the ink - "pounce" the ink applicator on to create a spotty look, some have more spruce, green, or red, set all inked pieces aside to dry. <br />

<b><i>COVERING the ALBUM -</i></b> I am going to share a neat trick with you on how to "cover" a<b> premade </b>album with only a few pieces of paper. Since this book is already made of heavy chipboard, kraft paper and a fabric spine, there is no need to completely recover, in fact, I painted part of it with acrylic craft paint. To determine what paint color is best to use, I smeared daub's of color on the INSIDE BACK which will be covered later, allowed to dry, then matched it to the paper color (see below). When the right color is determined, paint the fabric spine and corners, inside and out and around the metal rings - be sure to paint over the fabric edges and onto the kraft paper so there will be no gaps in the colors later - set aside to dry.<br />

Cut Evergreen Artisan Cardstock paper strips 1" wide x ??? for the album edges (photo below) - noted above that each album is measured individually. Now flip the strips over and apply 1" ScorTape to back:<br />

Center each strip - one at a time - on EDGE of album to hold in place, trim corners and turn down onto the album, then smooth in place on front and back covers. This will effectively cover the album edges and your printed papers will cover the rest. NOTE - the painted corners insure color in case trimming is not exact, plus you can always add a bit more paint if needed.</div>

Now you will center up add the beautiful cut, corner rounded, inked, printed papers on the OUTSIDE COVER ONLY using Scor Tape and/or Art Glitter Glue to secure:<br />

<br />
Next we will add the inked lace - you can use either ScorTape or hot glue to secure in place - NOTE - the lace hangs over top and bottom edges until secure/dry, then it is wrapped to the back (inside cover) and again ScorTape or hot glued into place. Do not glue on the red satin ribbon - it makes spots - DO use 1/2" ScorTape on the back, peel and place over the lace straight edge (as shown), wrap to the inside of the album and smooth down. I add a piece of tape over the lace & ribbon raw edges.<br />

Before adding the inside cover papers, you must add the ribbon ties on the INSIDE front and back - cut two 12" pieces of 1" wide double faced red satin ribbon, then a piece of 1" ScorTape to place just inside center of covered edge (see photo below). Secure a ribbon end to ScorTape and tape over the raw edge. Now glue and/or ScorTape the inside cover and spine papers in place, voila, you are ready to embellish the cover - fun time!<br />

<b><i>COVER EMBELLISHMENT</i></b> - I use my scrap stash of a paper collection to create additional embellishments for the covers and pages of a album - in this case, we saved a beautiful tree with roses and several extra big beautiful roses. I cut "around" the tree image, applied to adhesive backed foam sheet - THEN fussy cut around the details. For the image booklet, I found a smaller version of the same on the matching chipboard sticker sheet (photo below) and enlarged it on my color printer to fit the space - IMPORTANT NOTE - IF you enlarge or reduce a copyrighted paper image, it can be for personal use only, you cannot sell the item without express written permission from the copyright holder artist and/or publisher! I do this only if it is staying in my family home. or a gift. Peel backing off the tree and place on cover covering part of the lace & ribbon edge. Prima flowers used on this project, have inked edges of the white petals in red, then cut both white and red flowers apart in layers to use under the paper roses. Leave the red buds on wire to tuck in and hot glue under the tree. I use hot glue to place these pieces, then additional large roses and the Anna Griffin Botanical diecut greenery (see below) to fill the space as a bouquet. The book is added with hot glue and foam squares under the pages to simulate a curled page. Add the matching chipboard self adhesive sentiment (saying) embellishment to finish.<br />

<b>POCKETS</b> - Several of the pages were cut larger to "include" pockets - scored, folded, corner rounded and inked - now we need to use Glitter Glue OR 3/8" ScorTape to seal the folded edges so they can hold photo mats and journaling cards. I did not seal the side foldout page (see photos of finished pages).<br />
There are also some "add on" pockets that have been cut separately - on two of these I used a Anna Griffin embossing folder (one Holly and one Snowflake) plus inking to create a textured image.<br />
Finally, there are pockets that have been diecut using a Anna Griffin Christmas Pocket Die and Christmas Decorative Edge Die. Whatever you choose in the way of pockets, they need to be secured as follows - score the bottom and side edges 1/4", clip corners where the score lines cross, fold (shown below), then apply either 3/8" ScorTape or Glitter Glue and apply to page. If gluing, I wait until they are dry before adding cards, just so they don't accidentally stick in the pocket.</div>

<b>FINISHING the PAGES:</b> I made a chipboard guide from a page that was included in the album to line up pages and punch holes using a standard 1/4" hole punch, you could also use a Crop-A-Dial. After all the page holes are punched, add the inked reinforcements to both the front and back to keep pages from ripping in wear-n-tear. Additional page embellishments were made with matching stash images, cut and secured on foam squares, as well as the marching self adhesive chipboard images throughout the book.<br />
<b>ENVELOPE</b> pages were made using the We-R-Memory Keepers Envelope Board, paper cut to 11" x 11" (which folds into a 6" x 8" page), one side fold was trimmed, inked, holes punched, reinforcements added - then a small card cut from preprinted paper was glued to top fold, magnet set was attached to secure, round paper embellishments (punched from scrap) were used to cover.<br />
<b>CORNER CARDS</b> to hold mats are featured on several pages, these use the small preprinted cards cut out, inked and attached on one side and bottom with Glitter Glue - dry - add cards behind.<br />
<b>TABS</b> for pages were preprinted, cut out, attached on page edge, second one glued to back and inked.<br />
<br />
The following are photos of each open page set from front to back along with some closeups of "open" pages to show you magnet placement on envelopes and the fold out page:<br />
