Kaisercraft amethyst mini album 7 x 9 1/2 inch

 hi everyone  

hope this finds you all Safe and well,   I recently thought I would try to  shorten the length of my  album time ,   so here goes 

Im sorry the photos are all over the shop,  , the internet  was not playing nice tonight , I kept losing it  and then all the pics, all the photos were the right way when i took them , technology is lovely.  when it plays the game  lol 

                                             JACQUI'S  AMETHYST  ALBUM 

 I thought i would try &  simplify   &  create a  mini album  more quickly if at all possible.

Cricut   black cardstock .

So   am using  Kaisercraft   Amethyst  collection (  36 sheets to the  pad ) 

Kaiser   purple   washi tape 

collectables    from  Amethyst and  Flower shop 

Ribbon of your choice .*

** when adding  my patterned papers i  just trim off  1/4 inch smaller than the cardstock 

cut  8 sheets to   9 x 12 inch score  4 sheets  at  five  & half  inches 

score  4 sheets   at  half an inch  &  7 inches 

with remaining strips  cut   to 9 inches and  score along the long edge at half an inch.

4 pieces   10  by  4 inches score at  half an inch each end  ( this is your binding  hinge  ) 

4  pieces  10  by 4 1/2 inch scored on 3 edges 

cut 2   of  6 1/2  x  3 inch score  on 3 sides at  half an inch. when adding this to page one ,place the bottom one  on first , now with the  2nd one only glue the two sides i use  the third  score to slide down  under so packet goes  right though  and you have a smaller pocket at the front you can add  another photo  with a  mat. 

cut 2 pieces at  9 x 3 1/2 inch  score  on long side at half an inch

1 piece cut to  5 x 10 inches fold  in the middle  &  cover with papers  ( for  first page ) 

trim    nine pieces   8 1/2 x 4 1/2  black cardstock 

trim    eighteen   patterned  papers    to   8 1/4 x  4  1/4   and glue to  black cardstock these are  for inserts  . 

Patterned papers  i  have cut   cut 27 sheets   to eight  &  three quarters  and then i have just cut to each page,as i get to it  & measure  the short sides   

INSTRUCTIONS 

grab  your cardstock that  is  scored at half an inch,   fold  , flip over to page 4 ,( large edge )   now with  the 10 x 4  inch  glue to   the right hand side of  that page , this is your binding margin , you should be able to put your fingers  though  it ,   

with    the  cardstock thats  scored  2  times ,  glue along the  inside of the   half inch and place it under  the  small page you just created ,n the right hand side , this gives  you now page  5 , page  6 and page 7. 

On page  5 add the  10 x 4 and half that has been scored  3 sides,  miter the corners and glue  or tape   not on the edge  but about a eighth of  inch away from edge , you want to open page  with no hang ups  placing it on the edge will  be tight  on the page when you turn over so  just  a little  way away from the  folded  edge is best . 

With the  3 inch x  9 inch  glue along  page  2  

 now you have done this  do the same with the other  3  bases ,   these are your  pages , 

 binding  hinge , 

cut  cardstock  9 x 12 inch , score at the  measurements below 

one inch,  1 3/4, 2 1/2 ,3. 3 3/4  4  1/2  5  5 3//4,  6 1/2 , 7, 7 3/4.  8 1/2.  9 1/2   trim off excess if you want to  , i wrap this around  the  chipboard for added strength  but you dont have to  

glue together the  two  three quarters of an inch together . this makes  4  hinges,  if you dont have many photos  you need only make  2  and then your binding  edge will me smaller as well 

chipboards

cut to  7 " x 9 1/2 

1 cut     9 1/2 x 4 inch 

i usually join the edges together with  cloth tape as its stronger if you are going to bend a lot , but you can  wrap with papers  if you like ,

I used to work in a printing factory so im used to this cloth tape  you can purchase at  bunnings or any cheap shops  lots of colours at   bunnings 

After you have  made the outside of the album  and joined the binding margin

  you can then add your pages  this is the opening  of  those  4 inch   pages,  i glue with red tape as well as  liquid glue as its going to be opened a lot  , if you are like me and love  going though your albums after  creating them 

ENJOY 

  

thanks 

if you have any problems  im on Facebook , please message me. 

ENJOY  

until next time  stay safe and well

when you have scores  please   press down firmly to   create crisp edges   as it makes it sit better . 

BASE 

 singing the blues  on the side that  you trim the  strip off , move  paper in to cut at 10 inches ,  so page is 10 x 12 inches, ( when you fold it up , it has flowers at  the top and bottom ) 

On that edge you just trimmed    score  at  2 inches and  8 inches , turn paper  on the 12 inch side  score at  5 inches and 7 inches

 

 in the part that  is between the 5 &7  "  cut to the first  score mark as  shown 

i find it easier to  add  the  sections while  flat ,  so lets add the   the next section 

starting    with Blue yonder,  please trim off the  top  tags   cut  around the first  three keep intact, as this is going to make a folder,   punch hole into top of 3 ,later we can add ribbon
