This project was a request from one of my followers Leslie so I do hope she enjoys my tutorial?
I have made this project using a Scrapbooking Kit from Papermaze and a foolscap file folder.
I really enjoyed this project as it meant I could do lots of mini scrapbook layouts, you do not need to add photos you could use quotes instead. Why not use your favourite inspirational quotes or sayings.
This make a great gift for both male and female and can be made to fit any age too.
So let you creativeity loose and enjoy making this project.
The video tutorials are on a playlist so the next one will follow once the first one if finished.
Measurements for the project – follow the video tutorial to make this project.
Using a foolscap file folder; fold this in half and cut it to measure 8″ x 8 1/2″ (do not cut on the folder side)
Put your folded side up to the edge of your score board and score this at 1 1/2″.
From the scaps cut 4 pieces measuring 8″ x 1 3/8″ these are to reinforce the base.
Next cut 4 pages, 2 measuring 7 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and 2 measuring 7 1/2″ x 6 1/2″.
Using A4 cardstock; You will need 6 sheets.
Cut 2 piece measuring 8 1/2″ x 10″. Next use your scraps and cut these at 8 1/2″ x 1 3/8″.
Then on the londside score at 7″ and 8 1/2″.
Next cut 4 pages, 2 measuring 7 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and 2 measuring 7 1/2″ x 6 1/2″.
Binding your project; This can be done in one of 3 ways, using a Bind it All, a Cinch or book rings.
So get creative and make your own Desktop Flip Style Mini Album.
Page Layouts
Awesome! Just got a bind it all and looking for an easy project to start learning and this is it! Love it. Going to make this for my sister who is a teacher would look great on her desk. Thanks for sharing.
Oh so pleased you are going to try this project and play with you new toy (Bind it All) too!
It sounds like the perfect gift for your sister and I am sure she will love it.
Happy Crafting Dawn
Thanks Dawn I really like this album.
Miss. Dawn, I started the project desktop flip mini. I have a question for you about the binding. I am going to use my zutter bind it all like I had told you eariler in an email. But if all the pages are different sizes will I have to bind them seperately? What settings did you use? I hope these are not dumb questions, but I would like this to work out well. If it comes out, I have 5 other sisters that would love this also. Thank you so much.
Hi Cynthia,
I would cut all your pages separtately on the Bind it All, mark the centre of each page and then cut the holes.
Then when you come to put it all together line up the centre of the pages and then it will all come together. Practise on some scrap paer first if you are not sure, so not to spoil your project.
The only setting is the size of the wire you are using and this info can be found in the Zutter book. I used wires measuring 3/4″.
I hope this helps?
Happy crafting Dawn
I make my sister a calendar each year for Christmas in different styles, but always including a Final Jeopardy question each month. This year the calendar will be a flip style. How fun! Stay tuned for some pics.
so glad you are going to use this for a calendar it will be perfect! I like the fact the photos are on display and not tucked away in a book. Enjoy making and let me know how you get on. Dx
Dawn, I love your tutorials and watch them constantly. This easel book was terrific. Your instructions are so easy to follow you make us all feel like we can do your projects and make them look as good as you do. thank you for sharing!
