There’s not really much I can say here that this week’s video doesn’t explain:
Measurements
This week, I beefed up the pages of the mini album a little bit to add more interesting bits 🙂 On page 2, I added a small envelop and tag:
- 7½” x 7½” vellum
- 3″ x 5¾” black cardstock (for the flap)
- 2¼” (approximately) x 5½” patterned cardstock (to mat the flap)
- 3½” x 5½” black cardstock (for tag)
- 2 of 3¼” x 5¼” patterned cardstock (to mat the tag)
On the underside of the flaps on pages 2 and 3, I added picture mats:
- 2 of 4½” x 8″ black cardstock (for base of picture mats)
- 2 of 4-1/8″ x 5¼” patterned cardstock (for picture mats)
I hope you enjoyed this week’s tutorial…it was nice to start getting into the nitty gritty of things 🙂 Thanks a bunch for stopping by! Cheers!
Loved this! Where can I find the brads with the square brass heads? I looked through your store. Did I miss them? I’d really like to have some…
Sunny, I got those brads years ago…I don’t sell them in my shop 🙁 You may want to check out Michaels (I can’t think of where else I got them). Sorry I wasn’t more helpful. Monique
