[AD] American Crafts | Mini Album with Parasol and the Book Cover Guide by We R Makers

Welcome to a new post here on mojosanti. Today I'm sharing a cute handmade mini album. I used greyboard, bookbinder's glue, the Parasol Collection by Maggie Holmes/American Crafts and the Book Cover Guide by We R Makers. NOTE: We R Memory Keepers changed their brand name to We R Makers in January 2023!

The Book Cover Guide is a very helpful tool for bookbinding. It's a 5-in-one-tool made of metal. And it will help you to:

• place greyboard perfectly onto the paper (the paper you want to use to cover the greyboard)
• make consistent gaps (between the pieces of greyboard you are using for your bookbinding project)
• trim corners at the proper angles
• make perfect round corners (if you want to have round corners)
  
• mark spots (if you want to use elastic closure)

 

I'm sharing a video on how to use it. Please find the link towards the end of this post. And now, let's have a look at the finished project:

And here is the video for you:

TIP: The accordion fold pages measure 3" x 12" and I scored the cardstock at 1" and then from this first score line all other score lines at 2 1/4" each (the second score is at 3 1/4") all the way through to the end of the paper strip.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have you used the Book Cover Guide? How do you like it. Wishing you a good day! Love, Sandra
