Important Information, please read carefully before you start.

• All measurements are given in centimetres. • Measurements are given width x height. • Cut all your base pages first and keep all the bits for matting and making tags etc. • Please note which side of the pattern paper is used! Large format photos of each page can be

found at the end of the cutting guide. • Fussy cut one of each side of the fussy cutting elements sheets as follows:

o PP5815 Cut apart journaling cards. o PP5817 Words and Circles (remember you can use a punch to punch the circles). o PP5818 Floral embellishments. o PP5819 Border strips

• Ensure that you use good quality double-sided tape. • DST = double-sided tape AS = Advertising strip (barcode) • RHS = Right hand side LHS = Left hand side • PP = Patterned Paper

Album Cover (use photos below to assist)

• From white cardstock, cut 2 identical pieces measuring 18cm x 22cm. • Join these 2 pieces of cardstock together to create a single piece of cardstock measuring 36cm x

22cm. • Adhere DST around the outside edge of the hardboard as well as a few strips in the centre of the

hardboard. • Starting with the spine, place it in the centre (top and bottom and left to right {approx. 2cm border

all around}) of this newly created “outer cover”, then add a piece of 6mm tape on either side of the spine (you need this gap to stop the spine from tearing) before attaching the covers in line with the base of spine.

• Pop some DST all around the outer edge of the cardstock. Mitre corners, remove DST and fold cardstock in to complete the outer cover.

• From PP5809, cut a piece that measures 15cm x 16,7cm for the front inside cover and stick DST around the outer edges on the wrong/plain side. Make sure that you cut the paper so that you have the little image in your cut piece.

• From PP5808, cut a piece that measures 15cm x 16,7cm for the back inside cover and stick DST around the outer edges on the wrong/plain side. Make sure that you cut the paper so that you have the little image in your cut piece.

• To stop your inside covers from bulging, you will need to do the following: o Add a strip of 12mm tape on each side of the 6mm DST on the hard board (4 pieces in total

running from top to bottom of the spine). o Add another strip of tape to the spine. o Add 2 strips of tape to the inside covers to assist with anchoring the pattern paper.

• Carefully remove the DST from the hardboard, including the DST from the 6mm gap between the hardboard and the pattern paper, and attach the inside covers to both front and back.

• Make up the base pages as per the instructions and adhere to the mini album. • See photos below.
