Literature Blog Hop!!
Today I am working with Club Scrap's Literature kit. I made a mini album that contains 3 different sets of accordion album pages in different lengths. It is kind of a crazy lil book with pages going everywhere. This is a perfect kit for this little album which is am calling 'My Favorite Books". I printed out the Book covers from a bunch of books I have recently read and loved!! Each album page has a different 'roof line' creating sort of a 'cityscape' with all of the pages - I think it turned out really cool. I think my end game with this is - I am going to leave this as Abandoned Art at my local library. I mean I can't think of a better place for it.
Supply List:
Cardstock and cut out from ClubScrap Literature kit
Rubberstamps
Ink
Ribbon
Instructions:
1. Cut a 12x12 into 4x12 strips - creating 6 of them.
2. Score each panel at 3.5in, 7 in, and 10 in - fold on score lines. Create 3 sets of accordion pages - (1) single (2) 2 panels adhered together (3) 3 panels adhered together:3. Create binding - cut cardstock 4x12 - score every 1 inch. Fold accordion:
4. Create a jillion little "house" panels to attach to the accordion album. I printed out the book covers and adhered to the houses.
5. Once you have all of the 'houses' on the panels - adhere the 1st page of the panels to the accordion fold.
6. When I did it - because I was having a big chunk of accordion pages in the middle of the book - I skipped a few folds on the binding to provide room for the accordion pages.
7. On the front/first set of accordion pages - on the first four panels I trimmed them down - each by 1/2in as shown:
8. I then cut out sections of the panels as shown, I then added 'fence posts' to these panels:
9. Here is the back of the book, where I added ribbon (as a tie closure) I added a large panel on the back to cover up the ribbon adhered to the back of the book.
Here is a number of views of the final project. It is a very large stretched out project, hope the pictures are able to show you the complexity of this fun project.
This is the final little package that I will leave at the library for some lucky person to find!!
