Tuesday Tutorial

I had several ladies e-mail me for directions on the Flip (Flat Fold) Album. Well it took me most of the day with all the interruptions but here it goes.

Flip (flat fold) Scrapbook

Supplies:
One 6” x 12” piece of Cardstock
Three 5-3/4” x 12” pieces of cardstock or designer series paper.
Four 5-1/2” x 5-1/2” Cardstock or Designer Series paper
Snail adhesive
Bone folder
Paper cutter with scoring blade
24” of ribbon
Different size scraps of cardstock and Designer Series Papers.

Step One:
Using your 6” x 12” piece of cardstock (this is the back of your book)

Score at 2-3/4", 3", 9", 8-1/4"

Crease all score lines.

This is the way it should look when folded.

Step #2

Using your four 5-1/2” x 5-1/2” panels attach to the front and back of both your front panels. Make sure you center these. Do not cross any of your score lines.

This is the way the inside should look when the

panels have been attached

This is the backside will look when the panels have been matched. I used the different colors so you could tell the inside from the backside.

Step Three:
Using your 5-3/4” x 12”, score all three pieces at 3” and 9”
Crease all score lines.

Attach all three pieces together end to end.

This is the way it will look when all three pieces are adhered together.

Step Four:
Using the piece you just adhered together, you will fold the two middle flaps toward the middle section.

Fold your right flap down.

Now fold the whole right side onto the middle

Now fold the left flap down.

Now fold whole left side on top of everything.

This whole section should be stacked and you should only be able to see the last section folded to the top.

Step five:
You will now adhere your three folded sections to the middle of your back. Please make sure you have the middle section of the three and not a side section.

If you choose, now is the time to do some decorating on the inside to the theme you have chosen. I used both designer series paper and cardstock.

Step six:
Folding. Always fold your right sides first. Remember your middle section has three parts.

The following photos just show you the the folding sequence.

This is a view from up top looking down onto all of the different sections.

The finished product.

If you have problems deciphering all of this, please just e-mail me with the part you are stuck on and hopefully I will be able to help.

Thanks for dropping by. Until we stamp again.
