Use a sheet of AG1073 as the background
for the page.
From a sheet of AG1078, cut two, 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" photo
mats and a 5" x 2 3/4" piece for matting the journaling.
Cut a 4 1/2" x 2 1/4" piece of ivory cardstock. Adhere
ivory cardstock to the piece of AG1078. |
|
|
|
|
|
Measure and
mark a line that is 3/8" in from the
side and 1" long on each of the narrow sides of
this block. Cut through all the layers along these
lines.[Make your marks 3/8” in from the edge of
the red paper, and start cutting your 1” slit 7/8” in
from
either side.]
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
Take trimmed pieces of AG1069 from
step 1 of the left page and trim them to 1" wide
strips. [Use the two 1”X12” strips you saved from
the left page.] Fold each strip back on itself to
make two-sided strips of paper. Measure and score
each of these pieces 1 1/4 from one end [the folded
end] of each strip. Trim the folded back end to a
point. Punch through the folded back layer and the
main strip to place a brad to secure the folded flap,
but don't place the brad yet. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Thread the folded back ends of the
paper through the slits you cut in the matted journaling
block. Use brads to secure the tabs in place onto
the main strip. Attach this strip to the main page. |
|
|
|

Add photo mats to the page. |

Cut a piece of ivory
cardstock to 9" x 6 1/4". Score and fold the cardstock
in half to make a 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" card. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
| Cover the
upper section of the card with a 3” x 9" piece of
AG1078. Cover the lower section of the card with
a 3” x 9" piece of AG1069. (This should remain from
step 2 of the left page.) [CAUTION] Adhere only the
edges of the AG1069 to the card, so that it will
make a pocket for the tag. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Cut a 1 1/4” x 9" strip
of AG1073. Adhere this the top of the AG1069 piece,
wrapping around the card. |

foam adhesive. |

Cut a tag shape from remaining ivory
cardstock. [You should have a piece 3.5’X2.25”] Mat the tag with AG1075
[cut 2.5”X3.75”] , leaving about a 1/8" border around
the tag visible.

|
 |
Add a red brad to the tag top and insert
the tag into the card. |
