Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #067

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and I thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #067. Today we have a colour challenge for you.

Blackberry Bliss, Poppy Parade,

Pool Party and Old Olive. Such vibrant pretty colours.

One thing I guess about having to stay home during the Corona Virus pandemic is you get to finish some unfinished projects. 

I came up with this idea for my mini-album after the last Stampin' Up! Onstage event I attended. Stampin' Up give you such beautiful flyers for the events that I cannot bear to throw them away. So I decided to use the flyers to create a mini album as a keepsake of the day.

     

The size of the album is 14cm x 9.5cm. The size was governed by the most economical way I could fit the printed flyer to the cover. 

 The album was bound together using a concertina method of scoring and folding a 30cm x10cm strip of Designer Series Paper at intervals of 2.5cm. The landscape sides of the DSP are scored and folded at 2.5cm & 7.5cm. I centred and adhered the inside pages to the mountain fold of the concertina 2.5cm from each edge.

Peaks are then folded along the landscape sides at 5cm intervals or at every second score line. These peaks are then folded inwards to the inside pages and adhered.

Front and back covers were cut from scrap cardboard, covered, then adhered to the first and last fold.

I have also created a box to hold my mini-album.

And of course you can't make a Stampin' Up! album without a little stamping.

 The inside pages are folded in half to create little pockets so some stamped tabbed inserts complete the album all ready to add my photos and memorabilia. 

Thank you for visiting me.  I hope you have been inspired by the project I have presented today. Please, you are more than welcome to enter your projects for the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges here. We really would love to see your creations. Note we need your projects submitted by 10am.
