Make Your Own Tri-Fold Frame!

Good morning Zutter friends, 

Pinky here today to share how to make your very own tri-fold frame from scratch

using your incredibly versatile Zutter Bind-It-All and Owires!

 Step 1. Trim out 4.5X6" chipboard. 3 pieces. 

 Step 2. Cover each piece (front and back) using patterned paper.

 Step 3. Using Bind-It-All- punch center binding holes on one side of each frame page.

(Use Cover Page setting).

 Step 4. Take middle frame page and punch out other side.

 This is what your frame pages will look like. 

 Step 5. Embellish and decorate pages. (or add photos)

 Step 6. Using 1/2"Antique Brass Owires & Zutter Bind-It-All machine- 

bind frame according to manufacturer directions.

 Stand your frame up and enjoy! Perfect to commemorate any occasion

or that work desktop. Easy, and totally fun. 

Great Expectations

My husband's Sister and Cousin are expecting babies in the near future and he asked me to make them a baby brag book for their photos.  I ordered the Handmade collection from Lily Bee and some Studio Calico wood veneer frames and shapes because I thought they would be perfect for some baby albums.  I knew that one of them was having a girl so I made one of the albums pink and girly and the other one more neutral.

For the cover I used the wood frames from Studio Calico.  I layered them with stickers and added wood shapes and buttons to them. 

I used the banner stickers to create a banner and added some twine.

I thought pinwheels would be a fun embellishment for a baby album.  I added it to the front flap page along with a "Welcome" sentiment.

I also added some Zutter Removable page protectors for them to slip some 4 x 6 photos into.  On the outside of the page protectors I added a journaling card and some wood houses.


This is the more neutral version done in yellows and greens.

I really love the butterfly wood veneer shapes especially when you add a button.

This is another flap page to add more journaling and photos.

I also added a few keepsake pockets, for one of them I just used a brown paper bag and decorated the outside with a confetti pocket.

I had so much fun making these mini albums and can't wait until they use them.
