Tricia recently offered an online class for the Podium Book 2.0. During the presentation, students learned how to make an updated version of the original podium book project. After completing the online workshop, it's easy to repurpose the instructions to make another album - I chose Club Scrap's Reef Page Kit.
Reef Podium Book 2.0 - Details
To replicate my album, gather a Reef Page Kit and the Components Kit. Use the paper assignments below when working with the downloadable Podium Book 2.0 project instructions and video tutorial.
(2) Paper A = Underwater Print
(2) Paper B = Green
(2) Paper C = Wave Print
(2) Paper D = Gold
(2) Paper E = Yellow
(2) Paper F = Seafoam
This 8x8" book features eight 7.75x12" inside pages that are folded and inserted into Club Scrap's unique u-hinge spine.
The finished album can be proudly displayed on the built-in "kick stand", or simply close the book to shelve it for storage.
The structure lies flat when open while allowing plenty of room for creative embellishing. Photo mats, memorabilia and other decorative elements can extend past the edge of each short page for added interest.
Reef Podium Book - A Visual Tour
The first inside page is a great place to feature this 4x6" cutapart sentiment. The photo mat extends past the 4.25" flap...
...so when the page is turned, the seahorse image is centered onto the exposed portion of the mat on the back side.
Trim the border strips and die cuts to 7.75" and add to the flaps and inside pages. Staple (or tie) ribbon onto the tag-shaped cutaparts.
Trim the leftover 4.25x12" strips from Pocket D into photo mats of varying sizes. Add Laser Cut Shells to squares (created from scraps) for added interest.
Adhere the "This is the life" die cut to the edge of the flap, so the round portion extends past the edge.
Nest the circle die cut to the back side. Line up the companion die cut border (with round cutout) along the right.
Don't forget to utilize the 4.25" scraps left from trimming the border strip cutaparts. They fit the flaps perfectly!
Create a collage of die cuts, cutaparts, and laser cut shells on the back side of a 4.25" flap.
Create different shapes and sizes of photo mats for variety.
Two squares topped with laser cut shells embellish the final page of the book.
Why not make a vacation-themed album for yourself, or as a gift? I can't wait to fill this Reef version with photos from my latest adventures.
