So I have had this collection of papers and doodads for a while and wanted to make something, but I didn't know what.. Then I happened along this tutorial a few days ago! I knew I had to try it and knew exactly the papers I wanted to use. This Stack the Deck binding technique is very simple and easy, with great looking results. I grabbed a few pieces of matching cardstock to go with this Basic Grey 6x6 pad and away I went.
I made the cover out of three pieces of chipboard that I cut to the size I wanted, slightly larger than the 6x6 pages. The envelopes I used are for 5x7 greeting cards, so 5.5x7.5 I think, and I just cut them to 6.25" long. I did this assembly line style, meaning I pre-cut all the layers and flaps first, and then just randomly put them down on the pages. It was pretty quick to put together once everything was assembled.
