Instructions
Begin with Finding the 7” x 21” pocket and flip fold album Cut 2 of your Patterned 12 x 12 paper down to  12 x 6.87  Die cut The Leafy Delicate Border Basics onto the small section of your Flip Fold
Cut a 2“ Strip off your Patterned paper that we just trimmed Use the Classic Border Basics to the edge of this and die cut Edge the card and paper with Memento Rich Cocoa Dye ink and glue this into place

Cover the rest of the panel with paper from the on we have already trimmed down to size inking all the edges on both the card and paper  use red Liner tape to stick down 2 of the folds to make pockets
On the Large end panel both sides you need to Die cut the edge of the paper with Delicate Border Basics If you don’t own a fine glue tip use the back of your hand to apply the glue to the delicate die cuts

Cut out 2 Large Circles (Largest Scalloped Die) from Kraft Card and 2 Small Circles ( the Largest of the Dies) out off patterned paper Ink the edges and adhere the patterned paper to the Kraft Card using tacky Glue

Adhere the Circles to the Front of your card and the inside bottom pocket, Die cut lots of the Stamps that come with this collection and Colour these with your Blender Pen and Distress inks
Insert these into the pockets


When your Pockets are full your card would look something like this ready for a child to pull out and play with (Build a Scene) You can the decorate the front of your card with your remaining stamped and Diecut Images

There are so many options for this design card how about leaving the stamps blank so children can colour them in themselves you could also make a play mat out of one of the 12x12 sheets of paper

Have a great weekend

Mini Album Tutorial

Today I  sharing a step by step tutorial for you!

Take some chipboard and cut to these measurements

1x7 7x7 3x7 7x7 2x7 inches

Place them in that order on your table

Take 2 pieces of A4 card (good quality)overlap them and stick them together

Glue your pieces onto the card use 2 small  pieces of Chipboard as a spacer between each Piece

Mitre the corners of the card and attach tape as in the photo in between the gaps as well for strength

I like to use red tape

Fold over the edges of the card top and bottom first

When folding over the side tuck the corners in nicely so you don't see the chip board

Next cut some of the same card to cover the inside gaps

6 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches

6 3/4 x 5 inches

6 3/4 x 3 inches

Stick these down well

Next cut the supports for the pages

6 3/4 x 3 1/2 inches

6 3/4x 2 1/2 inches

6 3/4x 1 1/2 inches

score 1/2 inch on each side

Glue these down on top of each other and mitre the ends

Glue onto the small centre panel

Add your chosen papers to the uncovered Chip board

Next using the same strong card cut 6 sheets of 6 3/4 x 6 3/4 inches

These are the pages

When you have finished decorating your pages your album will be complete.

You don't have to add the closing part of the album and it would be made in the exact same way

Tando Creative Meets French Country

Good Afternoon everyone Hope your having a lovely weekend

I have been Busy Altering This Large Carriage Clock from 

Tando Creative which I picked up from my local craft Shop

I wanted to make it more 3d Because its Comes as a Flat Clock 

so I have made a small Tutorial to go with it 

  I Started by making a Hole in the Back Panel big enough to fit the Clock housing Inside Then with the Card that came in the pack I cut it into 3 inch Strips  then marked and scored 1/2 inch in from each side and cut Triangles into the score line so I could attach to the clock You need to use strong Tacky glue for this
 Once it was stuck I painted it Inside with some
 Black Paint because you will be able to see inside 

Then I added the Papers to the inside of the front panel before attaching the front off the clock Then Just Decorated With my G45  French Country Papers with a bit  of Black soot around the edges And Last added the clock Fixtures  

Thanks for Calling by and I hope this Tutorial will come in Handy at some point to you 

Hugs 

Sandra
