Folder: |
 |
 |
Cut a 3" x 9" piece of AG1157 Green
Pattern. Adhere the smallest strip of chipboard to
the back side of this sheet, centering it both lengthwise
and widthwise. This strip will create the spine of
the folder. |
 |
 |
Adhere two sheets of 6" x 8" chipboard
to the right and left of the strip of chipboard on
the AG1157 (Green Pattern); use the remaining piece
of chipboard to space the front and back panels from
the spine before adhering it. This will give the
folder room to open and close. Fold the top and bottom
flaps of AG1157 (Green Pattern) over the chipboard
and adhere them. |
 |
Use your finger or a bone folder to
carefully smooth the gaps and adhere the paper. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Cut two 6" x 9" pieces of AG1154 (Roses).
Adhere these to the outside of the folder on the
front and back covers, leaving 1/2" overhanging and
allowing it to overlap the AG1157 (Green Pattern)
spine paper as needed |
 |
 |
. Cut away the excess from the corners,
being careful not to cut too closely to the corner
of the chipboard exposing the chipboard when the
paper is adhered. Adhere the overhanging paper over
the edge and to the interior of the folder. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Cut two 2 1/2" x 6" pieces of AG1158
(Gold Floral), two 1 1/2" x 6" pieces of AG1157 (Green
Pattern) and two 1 1/4" x 6" pieces of AG1163 (Pink
Floral). Layer each pink strip onto a green strip
and then each of these onto the gold strips. |
 |
These strips are adhered to the covers
of the book, with one short edge butted against the
green spine and the other wrapped around the edge
to the underside of the covers |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Cut an 8" x 12" piece
of AG1154 (Roses). Adhere this to the inside of the
folder, beginning at the front cover's inside edge
and smoothing is across the inside of the folder.
Smooth it carefully into the creases and be sure
that the paper is adhered smoothly even when the
folder is covered. Don't worry that the paper won't
reach all the way across the folder. That area will
be hidden by the frame. |
|
|
|
 |
Take the remaining piece of chipboard
and trim about 1/8" off from one long side;
after this, that piece will measure 5 7/8" x
8". |
 |
 |
 |
| Then, measure and mark
3/4" in from
each side of the chipboard. Cut out the center of
the chipboard at each mark, leaving a 3/4" wide frame
of chipboard. Cut a 9" x 7" piece of AG1157 (Green
Pattern). |
 |
 |
 |
| Adhere the frame to the
reverse of this
sheet. Fold the edges over and adhere, removing the
extra paper from the corners as you did for the folder
cover. For the inside of the frame, simply cut out
the paper in the rectangular opening. This leaves
an exposed edge, but will be covered in the next
step. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Cut the central from a
sheet of AG1160 (Wedding Frame). Do this by cutting
5/8" from the
outside edge
of the printed frame at its top, bottom and sides.
Cut out the inside of the frame, leaving an opening.
Adhere this frame to the center of the chipboard
frame. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Adhere the frame to the inside right
hand cover of the folder, using thin foam adhesive.
Be sure to leave the top edge open for the photo
to be inserted later. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Apply the rub on "love always" to
ivory cardstock. Trim the cardstock to 5/8" x 3".
Mat it with a 3/4" x 3 1/8" piece of AG1157 (Green
Pattern). Adhere
to the bottom center of the frame. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Apply the rub on "The Happy Couple"
to ivory cardstock. Trim the cardstock to 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". Mat
it with a 3 3/4" x 2 3/4"
piece of AG1158 (Gold) and adhere to the inside cover of the
folder. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Wrap Ivory ribbon around photo holder
so that it is centered in the middle of the AG1163
(Pink Floral) strip. Adhere. Tie a knot at each end. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Apply the rub on "A Fairy Tale Romance" to
ivory cardstock. Trim the cardstock to 3 1/2" x 2
1/4". Adhere to the center front of the folder with
foam adhesive. |
