You will need 1 piece of sturdy 12"x 12" double sided
paper, I used Parisien Breeze Specialty Designer Paper
cut one at 6" x 11 1/2" and scored at 4", 5 1/2", 7", 8 1/2" & 10"
cut a second one at 6" x 7" and score at 4", 5 1/2"
then on plain cardstock to complement the dsp
cut 3 pieces at - 3 3/4" x 4 1/4"
and
cut 3 pieces at - 3 3/4" x 1 1/4"
then
fold the dsp pieces at the score point
overlap the left to the right piece at the folds
and adhere with red liner tape, this
strong tape will hold it together better
this is what it looks like joined together
I lay the cardstock pieces to see how much room I needed,
ok now you see the paper and cs has changed
because the original 12 x 12 paper I used wasn't
as thick and I tore it when scoring
that is why it is better to use a thicker
dsp for the concertina pieces
view from the end
using the corner rounder on two sides of
it took 10minutes up to this point of adhereing etc
from here on end it was downhill LOL
and took me all day to design and position the
rest of the decoration
Stamp on the vellum and adhered the
top with brads
Notice I left a piece on the left to overhang
The underside piece was stamped and embossed in clear
I put double sided tape on the overhang vellum and
adhered it to the back so you cant see the tape
stamped additional star images on vellum
rest of pieces decorated and assembled
adding brads to the words and middle of each snow flake
inside of scrapbook assembled and adhered
again using red liner strong sticky tape
decorating and assembling front of book
