Use Your Scraps. Bind the Book! | Charmed Bundle

charmed. i'm sure

Name that movie? I could not help myself with the name of this new collection from the SBC (aka Scrapbookcom). But this is indeed a charming little collection and I was inspired to vintage vibe the papers and use the elements in some fresh ways.

You can watch how it ALL comes together in THIS VIDEO here.

*disclaimer here: watch to the end. and make note: the goal is for all the left edge folds to be even. Watch to see what I mean.

You know what a great creative challenge is? An accordion book. Having been inspired this past winter while attending an art retreat, we made an accordion book to hold our projects, and I have been obsessed ever since. I have been reviving this much loved way with book making for months now.

This newest little collection was christened too by way of an accordion book make with a twist.

Watch THIS VIDEO for all those details.

The tutorial also includes the start to finish how-to for the front cover embellished cluster. 

Die cut several frames from Charmed Paper.
Die cut foliage and leaves from Ledger paper.
Die cut pumpkin from Charmed Dies.
Coffee dye all and allow to dry.

Follow along in THIS VIDEO for the assemblage details.

Now, what is so great about an accordion book, you ask?

Well, let me tell you.

• there is more than one way to assemble
• pages provide surfaces for embellished clusters
• makes a great catalog of embellishing ideas
• or leave all the pages blank and fill with photos
• or journaling

That's what an accordion book is all about. Plus, it's a great way to break into a new collection and kind of explore without committing with a large project. 

Date the pages.

Make notes.

Use as your imagination dictates.

And let me invite you to watch the video tutorial today:
