Series 2 Album page idea #11 of 12 - using Kaisercraft Peek-a-boo & Pitter Patter

Thanks for stopping by.
For a 9" x 7" album with base pages 8-1/2" x 6-1/2"
I use 200 or 210 gsm cardstock as I get carried away sometimes with flips & flaps so I like to use sturdy cardstock.
Measurements are always Height x Width. Burnish all score lines. Mitre all hinges.
For pages you choose as Front & Back inside covers: remember to have base page mats 8-1/2" x 6-1/2".
Burnish all flaps, pockets etc before attaching & burnish all attachments after attaching.
NB: Personal choice: to use glue or double-sided tape.
NB: Personal choice: add your patterned paper before or after attaching your base page mat to the album page.
For the majority of times,I find it's easier to do this first.
NB: Personal choice - I rarely cut my patterned paper based on my measurements. It is so easy to be out when cutting so I usually sit
my patterned paper on what I am matting and pencil mark and cut, then double check the fit is correct before attaching.
NB: Personal choice: what width border you like when matting - my choice is 3/16" smaller than whatever I am matting.
The finished page can be attached to either a single or a double base album page.
The finished page can also be attached to the base page on only three sides to form a top or side pocket.
You can choose either side or the top for a pocket. Keep in mind the user will need to be able to easily remove the mat so do not have a side pocket opening on the album binding side of the album page.
MEASUREMENTS & INSTRUCTIONS
Base page mat (Cardstock or patterned paper) 8-1/4" x 6-1/4"
Open pocket 8" x 6-3/4"
Score along the 8" side @ 1/2" and on the 6-3/4" side @ 1/2"
Personal choice: Your pocket can be open on either LHS or RHS, however if you are using this page for the LHS of your album, it is better to have the opening to the outer edge of your album, rather than the side closest to the binding system. Therefore after you score the 8" side, work out which side you need to score along the 6-3/4" side.
CONSTRUCTION
Personal choice: Fold over the top edge of the open pocket opposite the side you choose to attach to the base page mat.
Personal choice: Add a bottom pocket onto the open pocket or a hidden pocket for a small tag that will not interfere with the folded piece.
Adhere your patterned paper now and then choose whatever you wish to adhere the folded piece to your open pocket.
Attach the open pocket to the base page mat.
Finish off the page with patterned paper, photo mats and embellishments of your choice.
Attach to the album page.
