One Sheet Wonder Memory Keeper with Craft Consortium's Vintage Emporium

 Good morning everyone, 

Today I have instructions to make a really quick memory keeper from one 12 x 12 sheet of Vintage Emporium paper plus scraps and embellishments. I did record a video when I made it but there must have been some kind of glitch because try as I may, I just cannot persuade the video to upload to YouTube or to share. Anyway, it is very straightforward, and I hope you will easily understand the written instructions. 

You will need:

One 12 x 12 sheet paper
scraps of paper for pockets and photo mats
lace/twine/ribbon
tags or ephemera

stamps

Instructions:

1.    Keeping the direction of the pattern, fold the 12 x 12 sheet down the centre.

2.   Unfold and score 3" from the top and 3" from the bottom across the width. Fold gently with fingers, not bonefolder. Paper edges should meet horizontally across the centre. 

3. Fold the corners towards the edges as though making a paper aeroplane and crease. Add a thin bead of glue along the outside edges to make triangular pockets.

4. Add sticky tape across the joins as indicated by pink post-it strips

5. fold in half along the 6" score line. 

6. using a scrap of paper 3" x 6", score at 1/2" on 3" side and adhere inside the right edge of work to make a folding piece to wrap over the front and close.  Round the corners of the extension piece.

7. cut 2 long pockets and 2 short pockets from the paper scraps and then cut thumb holes in each -my pockets were all 2 3/4" wide, 4 1/2 and 2 1/4 long. Add a thin bead of wet glue down 2 sides and along the lower edge of each pocket and add to the front,  hiding the sticky tape. If desired, make tags to fit inside the pockets or use them to hold ephemera. (see photos below)

8. Make 2 photo mats 5" square for each large side pockets. 

9. stamp suitable words from Craft Consortium's Essential craft stamps range

10. Close with twine/ribbon or lace.
