My Little LOST Book…………….

I saw the idea for this book over on Debbie’s blog.   She gave some great images- so I was able to make my own instructions for this cute little book.  I am sure there are directions floating around somewhere out there in web-space.  Sometime’s it is just easier and faster for me to make up my own!
The one thing I wanted to change about the book was that the envelopes are attached to the book.  I thought it would make a super cute card holder instead if I could make it so they came out and were usable.

My little black book is my little LOST book………

 

 

  Can you see the paper clips?  I used those to attach the envelopes to the accordion folds instead of adhering them.  This will allow the recipient to remove the card and envelope for use.

 

Inside back cover……………….

So here are the measurements if you would like to make one yourself!
I used (5)  4 3/4 x 6 1/2 envelopes
5 matching card are placed inside the envelopes
Accordion binding- 12 x 6 1/2 score at every 1 inch mark
Ribbon- (2)  12” strands adhere both to inside back cover BEFORE you add accordion binding and back cover lining page.
Chipboard 5 x 6 5/8 (2 of these)
Cover cardstock 6 x 7 5/8 (2 of these as well)
Inside cover linings- 4 3/4 x 6 1/2
12 matching paper clips

This is a fun project to put together with dramatic results!
Enjoy!  Feel free to leave me a message or email me if you have any questions!
