Flip Flop Album with Scor-Pal

The Scor-Pal team were challenge to take a project from the existing projects on the site and update it.
My remake project was inspired by this Flip Flop by Eleonor McGarry
I decided to not only update it with newer paper lines but I also changed up the size a little.

Project recipe:
Papers - Sn@p Life by Simple Stories
Card Stock - Core-dinations
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape

This the album finished



Start with 2 pieces of card stock measuring 6" by 12" scored at 4" and 8" along the 12" side. You also need 2 6" squares of card stock for the covers and 1 piece 2" by 6" scored at 1" on the 2" side.



Use the 2" by 6" piece to attach the 2 6" by 12" pieces together to form an accordion as in the photo.



Decorate the front and back covers as desired.



Decorate the back panels with coordinating papers.



Decorate the inner panels too.



Create the flaps for the album from pieces of card stock measuring 5 1/2" by 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the 5 1/2" side. Use Scor-Tape to attach the flaps inside the album.



Decorate the flaps and attach the the album.



The following are some views of the completed album.
