Double Tri~Fold Shutter Mini Album Tutorial

Hello Everyone The Scrapbooking Queen has been

 asked by many of her Royal Follower

to show  how to make the Double Tri~Folder Shutter Album

  she did for The Queen's Royal Court Design Team

 Cosmo Cricket Post

So The Queen figured she make another

 one really quickly and post it with direction

 for all my Royal Followers..

Since The Queen is doing a baby girl mini album she choose

Core'dinations Canvas Texture papers in pretty pink

You need (2) sheets of 12 X 12 Card Stock in the color of

your choosing (mine is Pretty Pink),

a few sheets of coordinating Designer Papers

{Alphabet Soup ~Girl Pack}

Cut the first sheet of card stock in half, so you

 have 2 pieces of 6 X 12.

Cut the second 12 x12 card stock into {3} 6 X 4 pieces 

Laying your Card Stock with the long edge on top,

score both pieces at 2, 4, 8, and 10.

.

Then turning the Card Stock, and using your cutting blade,

place your card stock at the 2 inch mark and

cut all the way from your 2" score line to your 10" score line

Flip your card stock and do the same on the other side.

You will need to to this for both pieces. 

You can see how the cut line should look once you

cut down the on your sheet... 

Now you do the mountain~ valley fold technique on both

of your pieces of paper. they should look like this

{see picture below} 

Now take some of your red Sticky tape and place

on both ends of your tri-fold pieces...

{this tape is not very forgiving so make sure you right on}

This is where you place one of your

 4 x6 pieces of card stock 

Will look like this once taped down...

Now do the same on both ends with the other 2 pieces

of 4 x 6 card stock... just make sure you fold the

album up so you can judge placement

of the front of the ablum cover

Once you are done your whole card base

 should look like this.

The Queen used red sticky tape on the back of the

mini album to hold ribbon in place this helps

to finish off album with a nice bow

Make sure you only tape on the back 4 x 6 piece to insure

your card opens properly.

Now your designer papers is used to complete the inside

of your mini album just measure your 

spaces and layout your paper

The Queen used Stampin up Ink Pixie Pink

to ink around all the edges

Here a picture of the finished album with ribbon

and coordinating square for front of mini album

Now you can fit a picture on the inside 4 x 6 back page

 and many of the other square are perfect for

notes and smaller pictures... 

The Queen really loves how this turned out and is so sure

there's a special MOM who gonna love

to get this as baby gift... 

The Queen will be adding some cricut cuts

and personal it with baby name once
she has proper spelling...

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial make sure

you come back and visit The Queen in

her castle again ...
