6x6 Gate fold Mini Album

6x6 Gate fold Mini Album

Products you will need

Red Liner Tape Strong glue Greyboard

Good quality card 

All measurements are in Inches

Start with cutting your pieces of Greyboard to

6x3  6x2 ½  6x6  6x 2 ½   6x3

 next stick 2 landscape pieces of A4 Card stock together

and use Red Liner tape to place in this order in the photo above

When placing these you need to leave a gap of two thickness of grey board

so cut two small pieces and tape together for a guide this is so you can close the ablum with ease

Trim the corners off your card stock but do not go to close

Add Red Liner Tape to all sides of the greyboard and Cardstock

Fold over the Long edged first and stick then tuck at the end so all four corners

are neat and tidy and the fold over and Stick the sides down

This is what you should have now

Next we make the Base for the spines to sit on Cut 2 pieces of card 5 ¾ x4

add tape like in the pic these will cover both the 6 x 2 ½ panels

For the spines Take 3 pieces of card 5 ¾ x 3 5 ¾ x2 and 5 ¾ x1

score on each side ½ in

Glue these onto each panel

Next cut 10 pieces of card for the pages 5 ¾ x 5 ½

Now you decorate all your pages 

I hope it makes Sense to you but if you get stuck Leave a message here 

and I will always be on hand to help 

Thank you so much for Reading

Be Kind

Hi There everyone, 

Today I have a mixed media panel to share with you

As always you should Be Kind there is no need for Bullying of any Kind

We have enough stress through everyday life with one thing or an other

It makes me so sad that people young and old are taking their own lives 

so with that in mind the talented Nikki who Designs mdf for Woodform

 crafts designed this circle panel with these words 

Link Here Woodform Crafts

they are also very generously making a donation to the

 Mind Charity from every sale 

With this in mind I ordered some for my mixed media class 

which I run once a fortnight 

I left mine quite plain as I didn't want to take to much

 away from the actual words 

When I was making this I made a video to go along side 

which you can watch here
