My winter break is coming to an end... it has been one good and busy break... I did not get chance to craft a lot this break... but I did manage to make few cards, a gift bag and tried a Brag Book today!!
I must say I have seen them before, never thought of making one. But while surfing Pinterest, found this box that took me to Papercraftbutton's blog. She is a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in UK and has some fabulous projects on her blog. Do check them out.
Elaine at Papercraftbutton made hers 3-1/4" x 3-1/4"- basically a square one...while mine is rectangular! It is pretty easy to make....just lot of cutting and some scoring and gluing!
For this project you need
Outer Cover:
8-7/16 width x 4-2/8"
Score at 3-2/8, 3-3/4, 7, 7-1/2"
Printed Paper for cover:
2 @ 4 x 3"
2 @ 4 x 3/8"
1 @ 4 x 3/4"
Pages:
3 pieces of card @ 12 x 4" (you could do 4 if you want)
Score them at 3", 6" and 9"
Printed Paper- 2-6/8 x 3-6/8" (I used 19 pieces)
You need to connect the 3 pieces together to make one long strip. I glued DSP on both sides which is why I needed 19pieces (So I can have 19 pictures in this book :D)
Belly band:
Cardstock 1" x 8-7/16"
Printed Paper- 3/4" x 8-2/8"
Stick together then score at 3-2/8, 3-7/8, 7-1/8, 7-6/8"
For the original 3" x 3" Book Click HERE -Elaine's post has the measurements for 3" x 3" book and also a link to the video where she shows how to make it (if you are like me who needs visual...her video explains well.)
I like the rectangular shape... although when I print pictures I will have to ensure they are the right size. So if you do not want to play around with cropping pictures, 3" x 3" book size is perfect.
I love how it turned out... will put an updated picture of it (with photos in it)
This is for today...
Until next time,
Happy Krafting =)
