THE PROCESS.
1. Start with the structure of the album, using the Chipboard and the two pieces light grey in 10in x 8in plus and the piece in 5in x 10in for the spine, center and use a strong adhesive to paste it. To have the refine corners, you need to cut in diagonal the corners.
2. Prepare the interior of the structure of the leaves using the 9 1/2in x 7 3/4in in light grey already scored you need to fold the small part going to be part of the base, and the larger is for the leaves, then cut the corner of each as you can see in the photo.
3. When you have the structure ready, paste the spine of the album and cover the front and back pastedown with the pattern paper 7 3/4in x 5 7/8in.
4. Use the pattern paper 7 3/4in x 5 3/4in to cover the front and the back.
5. Prepare the leaves using the cardstock at 8 1/2in x 5 3/4in and already scored, use two of them and star to paste from the scored part to made a pocket open in two sides and decorated with the pattern paper (7 1/2in x 5 1/2in), once the five leaves are ready you need to paste in the spine of the album with strong adhesive.
6. For the pockets of the front and back pastedown, you will need the cardstock in 9 1/4in x 3 1/2in already scored, you can decorate one side of the pocket with a puncher and pattern paper (2 3/8in x 5 5/8in for the pocket of the front pastedown, and 7 1/2in x 2 3/8in for the pocket of the back pastedown)
To give an extra touch to each leaves, you can use the stickers that are included in the Kit and personalize the album,
