First Time On Video, Creating A Project As We Film

Father's Day Gift Box Album

This is a first for us, we are creating our project as we film the video. We have in mind what we wanted to do and we had sketched it out on paper, but you are seeing the creation as it unfolds to us. We have never done this before, we usually always do a prototype just to make sure everything goes together well. But today we just went for it. This video is in two parts today we are posting the first part and tomorrow we will put up the second part where we attach the boxes, decorate and make the notepad for the inside. 

If you make this project please share it with us on our facebook page. 

Instructions for part one and part of part two, we will add to this as we finish. 

You will need some design paper, we used Kaisercraft Antiquities for your cover inside and out and some cardstock for the boxes.

Cover paper, 12x9 and a piece 10x9 glue these two pieces together on the long ends to make a paper long enough for your cover.

Chipboard for the album is 2 sheets at 9x7 and one spine sheet at 2x7 inches.

Inside paper cover you will need one piece 12x6 and another 8x6 glue these two together to create the cover for the inside.

Boxes

2 sheets of 9x12 cardstock on the 9" side you will score at 1/2", 2 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 8 1/2"

turn and score on the long side at 1/2", 2 1/2", 9 1/2", 11 1/2"

Cut away as shown in the photo below.

Small Box 

Cardstock is cut at 5"x10", score on the short side at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2" and 4 1/2" 

turn and score at 1/2"x 1 1/2", 8 1/2" and 9 1/2"

Cut away as shown in the photo below

If you are putting chipboard in the boxes as I have here are your sides and quantities. I am using scor Tape and art glitter glue. 

1 7/8x6 7/8" cut 6

1 7/8x1 7/8 cut 4

7/8x6 7/8 cut 3

7/8x7/8 cut 2

You could also use some heavy cardstock and just put a few layers, or cereal boxes.

Here are photos of what we have completed and we will have the others parts added as we finish with part 2 tomorrow. 

Frame for the front is cut out of medium weight chipboard at 5/8"x5 3/4" need two, and the other two are cut at 5/8"x4 1/4" cut 2. 

I covered these with the same cardstock as I did the inside boxes place them to gether with construction strips on the back. 

Use a 5 1/2"x5 1/4" thick acrylic sheet for the photo cover. 

Then on the back I put two layers of foam tape to give it dimention. 

For the note pad I place at the bottom, I cut my sheets of copy paper at 3"x5 1/2" I don't know the exact amount I just cut until I got a stack 1/4" high. Then take your art glitter glue and making sure the ends are even run a bead of glue along the ends then take your finger and rub it in. You can run a second bead of glue to ensure it sticks well. Then place some clips on until the glue dries. I cut a piece of scrap paper at about 4x5 1/2 and scored on the short side at 1/4" and glued the 1/4" at the top of the glued part of the pad and the other part on the back. Then I glued it on into the folio. 

You are all finished. I hope you enjoyed and give it a try and if you do please share it on our Facebook page.
