Hallow Mini Album Long with pockets

This is one that I made a few weeks ago from paper included in a swap.

It measures 8 1/2" by 4 1/2"
Or 21cm by 11cm ish..

All I did was folded A4 cardstock in half and folded about 3" up to make a pocket
which I glued at the edge.
I had loads of sticker edges and used these for decoration, as well as the small Halloween tags that came as a 12 by 12 sheet of cardstock.

But must admit some pages are smaller as I took any paper I had to hand and just folded it too make pages.

Extra pieces were cut for tags

The Scalloped Green and black paper was one I loved but couldn't think how to use it.
So I scored it at 4" 6" and 8"
Turned and scored it at 8"

This then folded into a pocket page.
Cropped the corners...
And yes I "Cinched it all together"

Added some Fiber and a Tiny Pumpkin from Janice.

My boxes for sweets for Halloween.

Here Is the link I found for the boxes.

Denna made them and they are so cute.



The Devotion one is made with the measurements given by Denna.

Two strips of paper.
2" by 7" for box.
2" by 7 1/2" for lid.


Score both at:
2", 3", 5" and 6".

For box you just fold it round and glue the last bit to  the 1st section to make a box with no base.

Fold the second for the lid, and just wrap it round the first base.
Add glue to the 2" sections.
You then just decorate.

The square Half & Half is made with a 2" measurement.
Two strips of paper both
 2" by 10"

Score at 2", 4", 6", 8".

Fold and glue one for the sides.
Then add the other to make the base and lid.

Tent Card make your own.


I keep seeing this type of card and realised there is an easy way to make them.

Take an A4 Card and fold in half
to form a normal A5 card.
Then just score at 1/2" from each edge.
Add double side tape to these tabs,
Then fold them inwards.

Take another piece of A4 Card.
Trim it down to 11".
I scored mine at 3 1/2 " and 7 " and  9".

Fold your card so you get two peaks.
Now just add the larger card using the double sided tape to attatch the larger card,
your joins are hidden inside.

You can use various sizes for the two peaks.
3" and 6" then 8 1/2"
2 1/5" and 5" then 8"

The reason I cut the card to 11" was to make my sums easier...

In cm..

Score 1.5 cm from edge.

From base card.
cut to 29cm.

9cm and 18cm then at 23.5cm

7cm and 14cm then at 21.5cm

6cm and 12cm then at 20.5cm

Just added a picture to show where to glue.
On the card add glue to the red section.
The green line will match up on the base below.

Once you fold the tabs inwards you will find the green and red lines match up, on the base.

Lean mean Scrapbook ...

Click here to follow her link for instructions.

This great little book is someone elses design.
Click on JimJams Idea above to get the instructions.
It's quick to make.

All I did different was to make one of the long pockets for a cover instead.

A4 cardstock Scored at 5" , 5 1/2" and cut at 10 1/2"
Score the other way at 4" and 8".
Fold over and  punch circles at the edges.
Add Ribbon and glue inside, either the full length of the book or just at the edges.
Fold the 1/2" left over and use as a tab to glue the pocket together.


You can either glue the back page down as JimJam did or make a small hinged section for the centre,
Take a scrap of cardstock that is  3"  by 1 1/4"
Score it at 1" and fold to make an L shape.

Glue the 1" section to the inside of page 3.
This leaves 1/4" peeping out.
Before you seal the bottom of the pocket.

Glue the other to the inside of page 5.
Again leave the 1/4" peeping out.
This will then fit into the 1/2"
centre of the inside cover.
Check for size and trim the flaps if they seem to big.
Add glue and hold together for a few seconds.




Stepper Draws A4 Cardstock size.


This was a Stepper Card Design that I saw  Here
This one is made with an A4 piece of cardstock.

 

If you want it inches.
Draw a line on back of your cardstock.

Make a mark 4 1/8" down and 1 1/4" in from the edge.
Turn the card round and make a mark in the same place on the other side of the cardstock.
Use a ruler and cut this line with a knife.
Every line you score goes upto but not over this line.

With the right side of your card facing you score at 6", until you meet the cut line.
This is the step on the left in the photo.

Now score at 1 1/4"  from the cut line to the edge.
At 2 1/2" and at 7 1/4"
The Pink layer with the flower measures 3 3/4" by  4 1/4"
The draws measure  3 3/4" by 1 1/4".













Draw a line on back of your cardstock.
Make a mark 10.5 cm down and 3cm in from the edge.
Turn the card round and make a mark in the same place on the other side of the cardstock.
Use a ruler and cut this line with a knife.

Every line you score goes upto but not over this line.
With the right side of your card facing you score at 15cm, until you meet the cut line.
This is the step on the left in the photo.

Now score at 3cm from the cut line to the edge.
At 6cm and at 18cm.

This gives you the base.

The Pink layer with the flower measures 9.5cm by 11cm.
The draws measure 3cm by 9.5cm .
I inked the edges to make them stand out.

I added an eyelet as a handle and used my punches to decorate the base of the design.
