Pop-up Mini album-- Tutorial

Namaste Friends!!


This is Kriti today...today I'll share a tutorial for a mini album with pop-up pages. I have used Papericious recently launched Ethereal Paper pack . This is a Premium Edition paper pack, comes in 12" x 12"size with lots of die-cut elements, Journal sheet, quote sheet and matching card stock.

Have a look...

Tutorial:

Step 1: Take few pieces of card stock of size as mentioned under and score them.

 a) Piece 1--Take 2 pieces measuring 4" x 12". On the 12" side, score them at 6".

 b) Piece 2--Take 3 pieces measuring 3.5" x 10" (These are actual pop-up panels). On the 10" side,
      score at 2.5", 5" and 7.5". It should look like a 'W' when folded

 c) Piece 3--Take 3 pieces measuring 3.5" x 8" ( These are actual mechanism to allow the pop-up
     panel to  pop- up) . On the 3.5" side, score at 1.75". On the 8" side, with a pencil, make a tick
     mark at  2.25" from each side of the card stock, flip it over and repeat. Score a cross joining these
     points, then fold to form this mountain like shape.

 d) Piece 4--Take 1 piece measuring 1.5" x 4". On 1.5" side, score at 0.75".

Step 2: Apply glue to the one side of the pointed ends of piece 3, find the center of the outer
             card(i.e.,    piece 1)and line the point up just under the crease and stick down, now apply
             glue to the other side of the pointed end and close the card to adhere it to the outer end.

Step 3: Now, take the 'W' shaped card, i.e., piece 2, find the center of the mechanism, and place it.
             Now put glue only at two places as shown in the pic. and adhere the 'W' shaped card. And
             the first part is ready.

Step 4: Repeat step 2 and step 3 for the second part of piece 1.

Step 5: Now for the last pop-up panel, put the two portions as shown in the pic., join the two with
             piece 4. And here, on this hinge, repeat step 2 and step 3.

(Sorry for not clicking for last pop-up panel...my camera died after this...)

And voila!!...Your pop-up mini album is ready.

Here are some final pics....

     

Altered Photo Frame -- Believe

Namaste Friends!!

Kriti this side....so the month is ending....and I am here with an inspiration post today....
I have altered a photo frame using some art mediums by papericious and Papericious Fairy land Paper Pack.

Have a look..

We all experience times where we doubt ourselves, and somehow we lose track of what’s important for us. We lose the belief in ourselves, and we get drifted away, and later on we regret our decisions, that’s why I decided to make a project so that failure can be our teacher not our undertaker.

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.

Brief about the project

Firstly, I have taken a mdf photo frame and adhere some rectangle mdf pieces to make some bricks at two corners, then to make the background more interesting put some gauge also. Next, covered the entire piece with Papericious White Gesso. 

After that I have used Papericious White Crackle Paste on the bricks. When it was completely dried, poured some pink colour in the gaps of the bricks.

And lastly embellished it with some flowers, sisal, gauge, pearls and few die- cuts. 

Few more pictures of the project...

I hope you like this project..
Thanks for stopping by..
