Bee House Cascading Page Mini Album Tutorial

Hi all! I have a fun tutorial for you using the awesome papers by Tamra of Country Craft Creations called "Bee House". These papers are so beautiful and the detail is stunning. You will love this paper collection, I promise. I had a request for a configuration page that was made with 8 1/2 x 11" papers, and I came up with something super easy and fun to do. The fun part of this album is that the pages cascade/graduate in size. They are all made with the same size paper, but they are just scored and cut just a little differently to create a huge variety of pages. I will go over all of that in the video. There are 5 pages, the first is 4 1/2" wide, then they graduate up to the last page which is 6 1/2" wide. I have a blog post that includes the pictures of the diagrams I use in the video, so please check it out and feel free to print those out for a reference. Below I have the cutting list for the album. http://creativeoperation.blogspot.com... Here are the links to show you how to make the "Lay Flat Album Cover Method"    • The Lay Flat Album Cover Method   and the Stacked Waterfall    • How to Make a Stacked Waterfall  . I do not show you how to make these in the video, but you can reference the above links to show you how if you are not familiar. I will talk you through the whole album process during the video, and let you know how I did what I did.

CUT LIST: Chipboard: 2 - 7 x 7 1 - 3 x 7 Cardstock to cover the Chipboard: (I used Artisan Black for this) 2 - 9 x 9 1 - 6 x 9 1 - 6 x 6 7/8 I did mat the patterned paper on the front of the album with Artisan Summer Ivory. I used 4 pieces at 6 7/8 x 6 7/8, two for the outside of the covers and 2 for the inside covers. I also cut a piece 2 7/8 x 6 7/8 for the outside spine. Pages: 5 - 8 1/2 x 11 From the scraps from cutting the pages above from the 12 x 12 Artisan Black, you will have 1" pieces. I used these for pocket connectors/hinges. I scored them down the middle at 1/2" and then cut them to fit the pockets. I go over all of this in the tutorial. Waterfalls (Stacked, one for the front and one for the back inside covers) 2 - 6 x 9 1/2 2 - 6 x 8 1/2 Waterfall closures (trimmed to make tag shapes) 4 - 3 1/2 x 3 Out of the scraps I made a variety of tags and photo mats that I added to the pockets. I also used 2 extra pieces of Artisan Black for this purpose. The triangle pocket under the front cover waterfall was made with a scrap left over, as is the pocket under the back cover waterfall. These were "after thought" pockets, and are optional.
