"Love Files" Dos-a-dos album

Class:  Love Files Dos-a-dos album
Date: Saturday, January 31st
Time: 7:30 - 9:00pm
Class Fee: $20
Instructor:  Kathryn, Kathryn Scraps


Kathryn's upcoming "Love Files" class teaches four classic bookbinding techniques! Join her at Crops Plus this January to make the unique dos-a-dos style album from this series and get the instructions for three more albums and a storage box as a bonus!

“Dos-a-dos” is French for "back to back" and refers to a traditional bookbinding style popular in the 18th century where two books share one spine. In this class, Kathryn will show you how to get this unique look with Kraft-Tex and watercolor paper. This 4 ½” x 6 ½” album is perfect for an art journaling, for filling with 4"x6" photos to give as a gift or just throw it in your purse and carry your memories with you. The two books can be used to show two sides of one story for a fun twist on album design.

In this class, you'll get the Kraft-Tex, watercolor paper and snaps you need to make a dos-a-dos album of your own. Kathryn will be on hand to walk you through the sewn spine and will have all the traditional book binding tools you need. As a special BONUS, you'll also receive the entire upcoming (to be released in February) Love Files tutorial which includes three additional book binding methods and a storage box you can make at home.

 
Skill Level:
This is a super simple and fun project perfect for crafters of all levels.

Supplies:
Score Board, paper trimmer, bone folder, craft knife, cutting mat, ruler and paper piercer (or an awl). You do not need adhesive. If you have your own snap setter, you can bring that, but there will be two to share.

What You Learn:
Kathryn will teach you how to assemble the unique album covers and add the pages. Then you can take this back to your desk and decorate it however you like using the tips and techniques discussed in the class. Perfect for vertical or horizontal photos (holds 24).

What’s Included:
Upcoming “Love Files” Manual PDF
Upcoming “Love Files” Video Links
Natural Kraft-Tex for album cover and closure
Watercolor paper for super sturdy pages
