Today I have for you the demo project from my last Stamping Night Out -
a graduated chipboard and transparency book with the Bind It All. Here
is the finished book I made for the demo (I always give it away so I
did not add pictures or personalization)
I have several of these made up for sale - $5 each and they are already bound and ready to embellish. I am also including coordinating ribbon, flowers, buttons and hardware for embellishment. (extra $2 for shipping if I need to ship to you) E-mail me if you would like one - and to find out what colors are available!
If you would like to make your own here is the down low...
You will need:
2 pieces from Chipboard Stack
1 sheet of Transparency
1 6" section of Bind It All Wires
Bind It All
Heavy Duty Corner Rounder
Rotary Blade type paper trimmer ( I have a Carl)
Stazon Ink (White for Transparency)
I started with two pieces from the Chipboard Stack. You want to cut one piece to 2 1/4 x 4 1/2. This will form the two top pages - and your second sheet from the chipboard stack will be the back page.
Corner round 2 corners of each page.
Now
you want 2 transparency pages - I cut mine to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and 4 1/4 x
4 1/2. You need to corner round two corners of these pages also - but
DO NOT use the Heavy Duty Corner Rounder!!! It will jam even if you
stack it with the cardstock or with the chipboard - and you will get
mad. (Experience talking ladies - seriously! I think I jammed about 4
different corner rounders - so just cut it with scissors and be
happy!!)
I
lined mine up with the chipboard pages and cut along the edge with my
Mini Kai Scissors. Stamp and edge them before moving on as well - I
used White Stazon to egde the pages and I also stamped Curls and Swirls
on the edge of both pages.
Stack
your pages - and punch with Bind It All - you can do 2 chipboard pieces
at one time with the pink BIA but only one with the blue. So I broke
my book into 2 sections and punched them both.
Now
stack your book back together and flip the back page around to the
front cover - so on top you will be looking at the INSIDE of the BACK
cover.
Insert
wires into holes - because the next to last page is transpareny I
inserted the rings from the back instead of the front because the
"ends" of the wires will let that page slip thru! Putting them thru
the back places the bends of the wires along the edge of that
transparency page - instead of the open ends.
Now press with BIA.
