Triptych Card

Video linked below

Start with a 7 × 5" cardbase. Matt a piece of 6 7/8 × 4 7/8" silver Miri card onto the cardbase.


Cut an image into three sections and then make a matt layer for them to sit on that is 1/4"  larger than the piece of picture. E.g if the picture piece is 2 × 4" the matt layer for underneath needs to be 2 1/4 × 4 1/4".

Adhere the three picture pieces to their corresponding Matt's.
Afix the picture and their Matt's onto the miri card leaving a small boarder using wet glue

Stamp a sentiment onto cardstock measuring 1/2 × 2 1/4", matt it onto a peice of cardstock measuring 3/4 × 2 1/4" and position on the card using foam pads.
Embellish as required.

Open the card back up and with the long side at the top score at 2". Cute along this scoreline and keep the off cut to one side as you will need it later.

You will now have one part of the card shorter than the other. Score and cut another 2" from the shortest piece of card so that all you are left with is a 6" x 2" panel.

Adhere your 5 3/4" x 1 3/4" pattern paper to the panel on the card and the off cut panel from earlier leaving a 1/4" boarder.

Take you 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" pattern paper and adhere to the inside of the card leaving a boarder and then affix the white cardstock to this again leaving a small boarder.

Attach your topper to the piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Take you offcut panel and line it up with the bottom of the card, ensuring all edges are flush with each other.
Using glue on the top and bottom part only mount the topper onto the top panel and bottom panel on the left edge of the card.

Now in the window section where you can see through to the white cardstock, stamp/adhere your sentiment.

Handmade notebook tutorial

Video linked below


To make a notebook you will need:
A4 printer paper
12 x 8 patterned paper
A cereal box (or similar)
Hot glue
Wet glue
Bulldog clips/pegs

Take a peice of A4 printer paper and fold it short side to short side. Open it back up and fold it long side to long side. This will leave you a grid of 4 oblongs. Use a trimmer or cutting tool and cut along your fold lines so that you are left with 4 separate pieces of paper. Repeat this process until you have your desired amount of pages.

Gather the pages into a pile ensuring they are neatly together and fasten down one side using your bulldog clips/pegs. Use your hot glue down the long side that does not have clips on it making sure to cover every peice of paper. Work your way up and down the long side until you have a good covering of glue. This creates the spine for your notebook.

When the glue is dry place your page on your cereal packet and draw round it. You will need to do this twice. Cut out the outline you made on the cereal packet - this is going to become your cover.

Take a other peice of A4 paper and repeat step 1. This time only cut our one section.

Take your new oblong of paper and fold it long side to long side but don't fold right to the edge this time, leave a small gap. Repeat this step on the opposite long side. You should now have the outline of a spine down your paper.

Using wet glue adhere the cardboard flaps to the paper oblong and ensure they are flush with the fold line but not across it.

Place your newly created cover onto the patterned cardstock and fold the cardstock over all 4 sides of the cardboard. Burnish these folds and then use wet glue to adhere these to the cardboard.

Using hot glue on the spine section you can now position the pages of your notebook in the cover.

Lastly use your wet glue and adhere the page next to the cover to the cardboard to hide all your seams and cardboard. Repeat at the other end of the notebook.

You can now decorate/personalise/embellish your notebook.

Happy crafting xoxo
