Photo Wallet

I had done this photo wallet project for Mother's Day but recently someone requested to see one so I thought I'd share it with you all!

Supplies

Card Stock

• Very Vanilla


• Recollections Designer Series (retired)
  

Ink Pads

• Cranberry Crisp (retired)


• Sage Shadow or Mellow Moss


• Close to Cocoa
  

Stamp Sets

• Wild Rose


• All Year Cheer II (retired)
  

Tools

• Hole punch

Technique/Instructions

1. Cut 4 1/2x12 sage shadow or true thyme card stock. Score/fold it at 3 ¼, 6 ½, 9 ¾, 10 inch marks. The 10 inch mark is just to help fold over the top.


2. The first photo mat you see when you unfold is chocolate chip, 4 ¼ x 3 inches. Recollections paper cut 4 x 2 ¾ adhered to the top (so it is double-matted).


3. Inside pockets and inserts for photos or journaling:

• Each pocket is originally 4 ¾ x 4 inches. Lay it landscape. You will score it ½ inch on the top and bottom and ½ inch on the left. No scoring on the right for that is where the insert will be.


• Use circle punch on the right side of the pocket (in the center)


• Fold at all the scored marks.


• Adhere the right folded area to the top and bottom folds.


• Adhere the scored portions (top and bottom) to the back of the wallet. This creates the pocket. The resulting pocket size is really 4 ¼ x 3 inches.

4. Photo or Journal Insert is 4 ¼ x 3 inches (or a little less so it slides easily but firmly into the pocket.

5. Outside band is 2 ¼ x 8 inches in chocolate chip. Then 2 inch Recollections designer series papers. Stamp rose and leaves on vanilla cardstock and cut out. Adhere with dimensionals or adhesive tape.
