True fit Folio Accordian Album Workshop

8 gals signed up for my workshop on Saturday... including Anne Hillier, who fashioned this cover for her Boom-di-Ada true fit folio accordian album using Acrylic stamps. Anne later added clear crystal centers to her flowers... a girl after my own heart.

It measures 12x12 to start, and after scoring and folding, the folio opens up to an album with six 3x6" pages measuring 24" in length. Easier to do than to describe.

Here is a CTMH video tutorial for those of you who wish to try this project at home!

the video is only around 6 min long... a lot shorter than our 30 min class!!

thankfully, Peggy N. kept us all up to pace with her sharp wit throughout the class.

Thank you to all the talented ladies who participated in this class!

I will post the revamped Holiday cards later today... lots of inspiration, lots of creating to complete this week in the studio.

Life Delights : Folio Accordian Album

Inside view by Becky I.

Album Covers by Jen L and Rosemary P.

my front cover (okay I copied Rosemary) with "tie-dyed" effects on small blue flower and vase.

Creative Clips (sheer plastic ) tied with Blush polka dot ribbon.

Thanks to Colton J. for taking the photos so I could be in the pictures... for a change.

Four CuttingEdge Diva consultants got together for a fun business meeting tonight at the Studio. Pictured left to right, are: myself ( in my lovely stunning kiwi green track pants - smirk ) , Rosemary P , Becky I , and Jen L .

We each created a 6 by 24 inch accordian album made from ONE 12 x 12 CTMH true fit folio. We scored it every 4 inches and folded it lengthwise, covered it with Life Delights patterned papers, cut out the circles with coluzzle... well two of us sort of used the Coluzzle, which wasnt doing the job very well, since Jen L. told me my blade wasnt sticking out far enough to go through two layers of paper, and two of us traced the shape with pencil and cut with scissors... then we added our pull out tags from cardstock and stamped and embellished.

We found the mini brads a bit frustrating to use, but they look cute on the centers of the flowers.

I loved the creative clips with ribbons tied on... first time I used one out of my brand new pack that had been sitting on my supply table all winter long.

The flower is stamped with the CTMH June stamp of the month. It's cool. No doubt in my mind.

I will be offering this workshop at the studio in May . Not sure if Coluzzle blade will be in operation by then. haha.
