Smash Book?

[lou413]

Does anyone know what a Smash Book is? The lady that owns our new LSS wants me to teach a class on them and I've never heard of them before. I appreciate any and all help with this. I've searched here, but nothing comes up. TIA

Do you think maybe she wants a Squash book? Here's one from the Resource section: Squash Book Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

That looks like that might be it, thanks. Goodness it looks involved, I wonder how it would do for a class?

Someone made one of these for me and it was awesome! It's alot of folding but I think after making one, it should be fairly easy to teach. It looks more complicated than it actually is due to all the folding. ;)

lou413....This project is extremely easy to make. Don't be intimidated by the specific measurements for the inside. You can cover the inside however you want instead of what the tutorial states.

The object of the card is just the folding. I've done it with just using 2 different but coordinating patterns of cardstock. The 2 outside pieces are the same, but the middle one is different.

Should be an easy project to finish in a two hour class with adults. Just need to let the Mod Podge dry before proceeding.

I didn't use Mod Podge. I used glue stick the first time and since just use Scor-tape or any double sided tape for the cover and to adhere the 3 pieces together for assembly.

You also can use just heavy cardstock for the covers instead of the coasters. Use a slightly lighter cardstock for the 3 inside pieces.
