Keep Forward

Hello Zutter world!

Today we are going to take a little

look at my Keep Forward album.

Big Picture just had a festival

Big Ideas Festival in which there

were a series of in depth challenges

for us to search a little deeper into

what we do.

For this particular challenge it

was to set up a layout or page

of that one goal or dream

we are working on.

I decided to set  up an album

to place my goals in but it doesn't 

stop there.

We actually have to move on them

meaning whether it be something small

or big each day just take a step or

two towards that goal.

I have quite a few but there are

key goals that take priority over all.

This album will be dedicated to

those.

           

There are a number of hard cover pages

and Zutter inserts so that I will

have plenty of space to document

my step-by-step process.

This particular album will be

put to good use for sure.

Hopefully we all will continue to

challenge ourselves to dig a little

deeper in our craft and 

continue to grow in it.

Thank you as always for letting me share!

Animal Crackers Pocket Album Tutorial

How are we all doing today! I hope all

is well especially now that summer is

in full gear.

Today we will be putting together a pocket

album which is super easy and fun!

With a few simple supplies this

album turns out stunning.

Let's begin!!!

Select a few sheets of 12x12 paper which

will in turn be your pockets.

Evenly measure out 4 inches across which

will render 3 strips that will create pockets. It is totally up to you

how many pockets you want in

your album.

Take one of your strips and score/fold about

6 1/2 in mark horizontally.

Measure about 1/2" in on both sides

vertically also scoring/folding at marks.

It looks like so:

At the horizontal folds cut both corners

in an angle like so (see photo). This will make it

easier to fold the sides in clean and neat.

Apply glue to the insides of the 6 1/2 in. sides

and adhere down.

To the other sides, apply glue to the

outside of the sides, fold in half, and adhere

to the other end.

It will look like this!

Easy, right!?

Now gather the rest of the strips and 

repeat the same steps.

If you desire, a half hole can be cut out

of the shorter end of pocket to

create a notched look.

Make sure that it is cut out first

before adhering. 

After all the pockets are dry break out

your Bind-it-All and start punching away.

After assembly, you will have your

very own pocket album to

embellish to your heart's content.

The pockets also serve as extra places for

pictures, notes, etc.!!!

Here is what I did with mine:

                                        I love the end result. Now this album is ready for some
                                                                     great memories.


                                                   Hope that you enjoyed this post and please share your
                                                   pocket album. We would love to see it!!!

A Little Kindness Goes A Long Way.......

Happy Sunday everyone! This is Michelle Gutiererez here for Zutter Innovative with my 1st blog post. I am so excited to share this acrylic album I made! 

This handsome young man is one of the kindest well mannered kid I know. No matter what he does, it is always with a "please" and "thank you". Teaching us all the a little kindness goes a long way....... a simply amazing kid, my Vincent is.

I cannot tell you how much I love my Zutter Bind It All V2 tool. It all starts with a vision, my Bind-It-All, 7.5"x 5" clear acrylic album  and all the fixings to create an awesome mini album. 

I used 1/2"  Silver O-Wires to bind the acrylic album together. 

Use the Centering Arrow in the middle of the holes printed on the Bind-It-All (above "T" in "Zutter") to center the book  to place the binding in the center of the acrylic album pages.   Continue with each page int he album and arrange the pages in order. Flip the back cover of the book towards the front and insert the O-Wires from the back pages of the book, through the covers. Then use the Bind-It-All to close the O-Wires. Be sure to use the plastic O-Wire templates included with your Bind-It-All to set the machine for the proper size of O-Wire before closing.

How awesome is it that you can create an album what ever size you want using the Bind-It-All!

Here are all of the pages of the assembled album:
