Happy Kitchen Sink Monday, I'm so glad you stopped by! Today, I'm sharing with you the Kitchen Sink Stamps Project of the Month (POM) a Stamped Concertina Book

Cut Dusty Durango Card stock to 5-3/4” x 2-7/8”, score at 2-7/8” – you’ll need 6 pieces

Cut White Card Stock to 5-3/4” x 2-7/8”, score at 1-7/16”, 2-7/8”, and 4-5/16” – you’ll need 7 pieces

In the center of the white panels, use punches or Spellbinders Dies to cut an opening – see photo

NOTE: I drew in the score lines with a red pen to help you visualize this step better

Stamp white panels as desired. I used the Faux Collage Technique and stamped with the following images – 3 Step Butterflies in #1 Dusty Durango stamped off, #2 Dusty Durango, #3 Black Archival. The other images are from 3 Step Letters from the Past; Script stamped in Sahara Sand, Air Mail in Rose Red, and Postage in More Mustard, Pen #3 Chocolate Chip, and #2 Close to Cocoa. The edges are lightly sponged with a sponge dauber and Chocolate Chip Ink. Using an Old Olive Marker and the Spritzer Tool, I added some splatters to fill in any white space.

Assemble your Dusty Durango panels – attach the 1st panel to the second by over lapping, continue adhering all panels in this manner.

When finished crease with a bone folder, making sure your panels are square













Place one of the stamped panels on the 2nd square as shown. You’ll be attaching the left and right sides to the Dusty Durango Panel as shown.









Continue with two more white panels



























Flip your panel piece over – this time you are working on the first Dusty Durango Panel. Before you adhere your panel, place one end of one piece of ribbon in the center. Adhere white panels as in previous step. You’ll adhere all four, be sure when you get to the last one, you insert your ribbon as you did here.

Finish front as desired. The panel with the stamped butterfly is popped on dimensionals so that I can thread the ribbon to tie my Concertina Book closed.
