AMM Blog Hop

Welcome to the Blog Hop!  The hop starts today, Friday July 2nd through Sunday July 4th.  Each blog will be showcasing a different project inspired by summer and all of its glory!  Hop through each blog to check out the instructions for creating each project, then choose a project to recreate.  Post your project in the AMM gallery and in this thread.  You will have until  Friday July 9th at midnight to post your project to be eligible to win an Echo Park Collection pack!

More than one project created earns you another chance in the random drawing.  Please be sure that projects are created especially for this contest.  Good luck!

Let´s see what I have for you: A Pop Up book using the Sweet Summertime Echo Park collection + October Afternoon Fly a Kite stickers!

Now let´s see the instructions on how to do this:

First, trim 4 pieces of patterned paper measuring 11 1/2" X 6"

and fold every piece of paper at 11" and 5 1/2" (one of these you´re just going to crop the 1/2")

Glue every tab to the underneath side edge. Remember that, for the accordion, you ´ll need to alternately fold one section back then one forward.

Put your accordion aside and let the glue dry.

Next, trim 4 pieces  of patterned paper measuring 9`` X 3""

Use your punchers to decorate them

Run double tape along the two sides (back) of these small pieces of paper and begin to assemble the album.

You can embellish your acordeon with Sweet Summertime journaling tags and stickers .

Cut and fold 4 triangles (90 degree angles)

And insert them to your acordeon

For the covers,cut 2 pieces of chipboard measuring 6 1/4" X 5 1/2"

Cover the chipboards.

Before you adhere the accordion inside you´ll need to add your ribbon to the inside of the cover. Measure and place a marck at the middle point of each side of the chipboard. Run the double tape and add the ribbon.

Now you can add the accordion inside.

Continue by adding embellishments and attaching tabs.

So, I guess you´re now inspired to create your own pop up book!
