- 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.
