Gatefold Tri Shutter Mini Scrapbook Album

This great Gatefold Tri Shutter Album is different to most as overall it measures 8×8 inches and allows you to add photos printed off the Picasa (Photo Software Management System) without the need to cut them down.
I have used UK A4 cardstock and you will need 5/6 sheets. You can use 12×12 card stock if you wish.
Now watch the Video Tutorial and make you Gatefold Tri Shutter Mini Album along with me as I will give you step by step instructions of how to make this very interesting project.

Your will need to cut your chosen card stock to the following sizes;
1 @ 8″x8″
1 @ 8″x4″
2 @ 8″x5 3/4″ – score this on the short side at 4″.
2 @ 8×11 1/2″ – score this on the long side at 2″, 4″, 8″ & 10″
Then score the short side at 2 1/2″ & 5 1/2″.
Thank you for watching and I do hope you have enjoyed this Mini Album project?

    I’ve never done a gatefold card, so I will jump right in with your ‘Trifold’ & show when finished!
    I’m stuck in bed today but will start tomorrow as it looks like so much fun. I’m waiting for my Simply Magazines to arrive as some papers in with them – they are taking ages to reach Madeira Island. So thank you for doing this. Hugs x
