ATC Mini Booklet Holder Tutorial






Supplies to complete one Mini Holder with ATC backs:


(1) 12 x 12" sheet of double sided paper ~sample used retired Stampin'Up! DSP


(1) 8.5 X11" cover stock for eight ATC backs ~sample used River Rock retired SU.


Score the 12 x 12 paper at 3, 6, 9 and 12 " fold to indicate the lines and unfold.
Rotate paper and score at the centre (6" mark) and again at either edge 2" (this fold will become the ATC holder pocket)
Fold from the left shown here at 2" with the ruler for the placement of slit @ 9"
Mark from either end at the 9" mark and cut slit as shown.
Fold entire section over to the left as shown. The section at the top area (remaining section that was not cut) becomes the joining pocket. This photo shows the joining area.
I used a strong double stick adhesive in a narrow strip so as to keep the pocket opening free and clear for the ATC's below shows the area for adhesive when you are creating the join for the accordian strip.

For ATC pockets: Cut a 3.5" x 11" strip, twice from the cardstock. Turn and cut into 2.5" lengths which yields 8 ATC pieces to fit into your pockets. Decorate with ATC's or special photos & momento's.

enjoy,
