Interactive Album - Tutorial for Beginners

Hello!

Alexandra is here this Thursday with a new tutorial for creating a mini album. Even if you are a beginner level crafter, you will be able to get this done and learn new techniques on the way.

In a very detailed way, I will teach you how to make a mini album with a couple of interactive elements and will include pictures for every step of the process.

Last year at the La-La Palooza Retreat I taught a class on this album, although the cover and he papers were different back then:

The tutorial will feature some of the amazing products by La-La Land Crafts:

Summer is Here Collection Rubber Stamp

Celebrate Collection Rubber Stamp (some of the sentiments are from this set)

Summer Dress Marci Rubber Stamp (full size version of the stamp)

Wood Planks Background Stamp

Simple Joys Background Stamp

Pierced Scalloped Ovals Die

Double Stitched Ovals Die

Curved Pocket Die

Large Stitched Tags Die

Long Flags Die

Stitched Nested Circles Die

Pierced Scalloped Circles Die

Double Stitched Circles Die
Stitched Slots Die

Filigree Flowers Die

Let's begin!

Creating the Cover

First, we will need 3 pieces of medium weight chipboard measuring 6 1/4" X 6 1/4" (2 pc), 6 1/4" X 1 1/4" (1 pc). These will form our album cover.

For wrapping the cover we will need two pieces of cardstock measuring 11" X 7 1/4" & 4 1/4" X 7 1/4". I am using the 8.5" X 11" paper, hence the measurements. If you are using the 12"X12" cardstock, please figure out the measurements based on the pictures that you see below. We need a continuous piece of paper, which will be enough to wrap the chipboard pieces. I added a strip of score tape to the long side of the smaller paper piece and drew guidelines 0.5" away from the left and bottom edge of the larger paper piece, as well as 0.5" away from the bottom of the smaller paper piece. See the picture below for the reference.
