A curvy album

 I felt it was Time to do a big tutorial so here goes 

A curvy Album ! Thats curvy on the inside lol

I was thinking weddings or special anniversaries but in truth you can use for any reason .

I made sure there were tuck spots and pockets as well as places to journal or place photographs as the inside is done in whisper white card it makes it easy for both! 

The tuck spots have been embossed in gold embossing powder and the pockets have been fussy cut from the ornate garden DSP which I used to cover the Album as well as on the belly band as I felt it perfectly suited the quite curvy stamp set and dies 

For the belly band I used dies from the tasteful labels die set 

In side I used the ornate dies to make journaling cards which i have popped into the tuck spots for the lucky recipient 

So to make this Album you will need the following 

2 pieces of chipboard or backing card measuring 4”x 4” 

A piece of chipboard or backing card measuring 1/2” x 4” 

A piece of DSP measuring 10 3/4” x 6”

A piece of DSP measuring 8 1/2” x 3 3/4”

2 pieces of DSP measuring 1 1/2” x 3 3/4” 

3 pieces of  Cardstock measuring 3 3/4” x 11 3/4”

A piece 1” x 11 3/4” 

A piece DSP 1/2” x 12 

Scrap card and DSP

To start mark the reverse of the DSP at 1” across the bottom and up the left hand side. 

This will be the guide for placing your chipboard pieces firstly add a 4 x4 piece up to the corner of both lines  then leave a tiny gap before adding the 1/2” piece then leave another small gap before adding the last piece Making sure you keep the bottom in line with your marked line 

Then score around the outside of your chipboard or backing card before trimming across the the corners at an angle 

Fold the paper round and adhere to the back of your cover 

Add the 3 3/4” x 8 1/2” to the inside of your cover and put aside to dry 

Next take your card pieces and score at 2” 5 3/4” and 9 1/2” if you want to have curvy or ornate edges  and or stamping / embossing on each at end it is time to do that now 

Add each piece of card to each other making sure you form tuckspots /pockets at the join of each piece of card  

Next adhere your pages to the book cover making sure where you have added it  that it forms another tuckspot/pocket 

Decorate the book pages adding the pocket to the pages where desired.

Create tags / journaling spots and pop into tuck spots/ pockets 

To create the belly band I glued the DSP to the card stock and wrapped it around my completed album and glued together before adding my sentiment which I had die cut and layered using the tasteful tags die set
