Step 1 Using cardboard from the back of the DSP depending how thick you want it.
I'm going to use one and we need to cut it down too.
cut cardboard: front back 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" by 2
Spine piece: 8-1/2" x 1-3/4"
Step 2 Cut DSP For Front Cover 12" x 10-1/2
Take Score Board and score 1" around all sides
Take your favourite adhesive to the back of cardboard and line up to the top and side score lines do both side then add the spine.
Cut all four corners at 45 degree angle - using a ruler and mark - cut using paper snips.
or fold corners inn this is up to you. Then glue down doing top and bottom first then do each sides.
Step 3 Using piece of DSP cut at 9-1/2" x 8- 1/4 "
Go ahead glue down make sure you have same space top and bottom.
Then find your crease then fold using bone folder to help.
Congratulation YOU done your cover of your brag book.
Step 4 Next we do the waterfall: Base card cut one 7-3/4 x 4" will go to inside right side when book is open and your looking down at the inside. Make sure you have your book up the right way.
Cut 7 by 4" x 4-1/2" then on the score board line up the 4-1/2" side your going to score at 4" do that to all 7 pieces. (If don't have a score board can be done on Stampin' Up! Trimmer)
Step 5 Strat at the top add glue to the first 1/2" flap on your square and line up score line to top of base card and follow with other other piece line up with the edge of your first flap you have down there. Then keep going until you have all 7 done onto the base card . Glue to right side of book. Congratulations Your done the waterfall. (If you want two waterfalls you can do one for both side and not the pocket)
Step 6 Decorate: if your going to use DSP or a layer of a 2nd card stock you will need to cut 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" and glue them to each square inside and outside of the waterfall but not the last one leave this to write on cut one 3-1/2 x 3-1/2" ( in white or what every colour you like to write onto)
Step 7 Pocket Cut one in Card stock 4-1/2" x 5-1/2"
On the two long sides and one small side witch will be the bottom score 1/2" then 3/4" on the 3 sides your making the little pocket here. cut corners to make tabs to make it easier to fold and glue down with mini glue dot using pick tool to help know you have your pocket. Add glue to small score edge and centre to the left side of the book.
Step 8 Decorate front cover and inside pocket add some tags into the pocket or a card with gift voucher
Step 9 To make card base 6" x 7" score the 6" at 3" your card will be when folded in half 3" x 7" Decorate to fit your theme.
