Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Score your 4 3/4" x 9 1/4" piece of cardstock at 1" and 2" on the 9 1/4" side.
-
Step 2
Fold your cardstock over at the 2" score mark. This will form the spine of your book.
-
Step 3
Apply Sticky Strip™ to the end of the front panel.
-
Step 4
Adhere the 6 1/4" x 4 3/4" piece of cardstock (your front cover) to the exposed Sticky Strip™.
-
Step 5
Peel the plastic lining of your clear envelope seal, line the envelope up with the back of your book and tape down. Layer all envelopes on top of each other.
Five envelopes were used here. The envelopes will serve as page protectors for your photos. -
Step 6
Use your hole punch to make holes for your brads. You can use your thumb as a ruler on both ends.
The punch will go through both all the cardstock and envelopes with no problem -
Step 7
Attach your brads.
Variation:
Eyelets and ribbon can be used here instead of brads. -
Step 8
Decorate brag book to whatever theme that will hold your photos.

I just got your mail with the new tutorial, but when I click on VIEW THE TUTORIAL this questions and commetns page comes up. And on the homepage of SCS I can't find the new tutorial.
Perhaps other people have the same problems?
I *heart* this tutorial! Where do the clear envelopes come from-not SU!?
TIA!

Thanks for the info...are those the clear translucent envies? I didn't realize these were something we carried, and they're self-adhesive?
Great!
