Mandy's 'What Is Old Is New' Kit Booklet Step-By-Step

.

How gorgeous is this lovely kit from WIOIN!!!

Mel from What Is Old Is New has created this special Vintage Embellishment kit just for Let's Get Shabby, and is her favourite vintage embellie kit so far, it has the most stunning fabric and the most amazing 1950's Vintage Polish Comprehension book page as well as all the other goodies!

.

And here's how you can make it up!

(my colours are darker as they were photographed at night) The extra you will need is the cardboard, string, piece of plain paper, and alpha.

.

WIOIN BOOKLET COVER
.
And here's how its made:

.

.

STEP ONE Using a bit of cardboard 32x23cms, and fold in half.
Trim and glue the fabric from the kit onto the cardboard
.

.
STEP TWO

Make sure by folding it over that there is enough 'give' in the fabric so it can close okay.

.

.
STEP THREE

Using a sheet of paper (I've used a piece from Basic Grey's Two Scoops) to make an inside cover and ink the edges to give it a nice finished look and stick it to the cover.

.
STEP FOUR

Use some string by doubling it over to wind around the booklet and tie the chipboard ket to it.
.
.
STEP FIVE

Before I glued in the main picture page, I photocopied a couple of the pictures a little bit larger onto photo paper and sat them aside to use on the front cover later. Then, fold an almost 1cm crease down the page and glue down that 1cm fold only so the page can flip over.
.
.
STEP SIX Using the same technique, glue in your other bits and pieces, including a the card on the inside left cover and the prescription piece.
.
.
STEP SEVEN
Add the little stamps, photo/s and alphas
And of course journal away in the smaller leaflets (which I havent done yet!)
.
.
STEP EIGHT
The cover
Arrange your photocopied pics, flower, button, tags and ribbons
to suit. My arrangement is my interpretation of Julie's sketch in the previous post!
.

I hope you will enjoy making up your booklet!
.


ALSO
Dont forget that Challenge Four closes
20th October (Sydney Aust time)
The winner will receive a 2 month subscription including free post to WIOIN's Main Vintage kits that are released on the 1st of the month!

MEL

from

WHAT IS OLD IS NEW KITS!!!!

Here's a little about Mel.....

I can remember way back when I would beg my Nan to get out her jars, tins and other assorted containers of buttons and bits and pieces she had collected over the years, so I could look through them and play with them. I am afraid to say that since then, the interest in vintage anything has only grown. I love mixing vintage with the new and am always on the lookout for exciting bits and pieces. At 'What Is Old Is New', our whole philosophy is blending the old with the new, mixing some of our much loved older paper ranges with the brand new, mixing vintage and handmade with modern and just creating some great kits.

We look forward to seeing what you will create for this challenge!

-------------------------

Mel has an absolutely amazing prize worth creating for!!!

Not only that, she also has some other ideas up her vintage sleeve!

All will be revealed on the 25th!
