(to view another booklet made with this template, please click here)

To view this month's SNS specials just click here.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program:

I know what you're thinking -- "that doesn't look so fancy"  but I promise it's a bit fancy.

It all started with Kelly Gettelfinger's YouTube video creating something she called a "Waterfall Mini Album".

(thanks for the great idea, Kelly).

Kelly's mini album looked like it would make an interesting card! (and it does)

Please click on any of the photos to enlarge details.

Start with one piece of

12" x 12" cardstock

For a complete tutorial in creating this card/album base, 

see Kelly's video, blog or the SNS Tips and Techniques page.

The booklet/mini album can be designed very simply, or with more intricate embellishments.

Either way, it is fun to make!

The folded card booklet measures 3" x 4".

Let's untie it.

The spine on this embellished version is 1/2"

Turn the first "accordion folded" page.

The accordion folds are what create the "waterfall" feature.

Below are columns 1 and 2, still folded up.

..

Pull down on the first column and see the strip facing the front cover:

Top Panel of Column 1 

Panel is dry embossed and brushed with 

Lavender Pearlescent Brilliance Ink

Butterfly enhanced with Eggplant Glitter:

Center Panel of Column 1 

Photo Corners also with Eggplant Glitter:

Bottom Panel of Column 1:

Pearl Stickers had the tacky adhesive which shows through.

Tip: Sprinkle glitter on top of your rhinestone and pearl stickers 

to cover the clear adhesive between jewels.

Turn the now-opened Column One to the back side:

Back Side of Column 1 revealed 

and

Closed front of Column 2 shown:

Top of Back Side of Column 1:

Tip: Staz-on inks actually look more vibrant when stamped on top of Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter.

Middle Panel of Back Side of Column 1:

Circle behind Eggplant Glitter Circle is embellished with Parisian Mist Glitter.

The green photo corners were covered with transparent Starfire glitter.

Bottom Panel of Back Side of Column 1

Starfire Glitter on edges, Cloud Nine under inked sentiment:
