Hi everyone, my playlist is up and running for the Lavender Mist Portfolio Tutorial Series. There are seven tutorial videos and one walk through video. I have listed under the video and on the video thumbnail the number of the video and what it covers. If you're hunting for a certain aspect of the portfolio hopefully this will keep you from having to go through all seven videos to find it. See the bottom of post for Supply List and most measurements used.
As always if you have any questions just pop me off an email and I'll get right back to you. At the time
of posting this was created using a kit from Crafty City with Stamperia's
Provence paper, but any paper and embellishments could be used in its place!
Enjoy and happy crafting, if you make something using my portfolio directions I'd love for you to share with me. Patti

Measurements
for Waterfall flip
Contrast solid cardstock for back strip - 3 1/4" x 10 1/4"
NOTE- Do not cut your decorative mats for the waterfalls until the end then
you can use your scraps instead of cutting into full sheets. Also see *note below about alternative method
to completely matting all flips.
Waterfall
flips, you will need 14 - solid cardstock -
each measures 3 1/4" wide
x 4 3/4" high
score on the 4 3/4" side @
1/4" to glue to base strip
Optional depending on the amount of
decorative paper you have
You will need 14-28 3" x 4" pieces of decorative paper to mat
each flip. Your choice will be whether
to mat inside and out. *If you are low on paper an alternative is to just cut a
3/4" x 4" strip for all but the two top flips (one on bottom, one on
top). You can put just the 3/4"
across the bottom (leave 1/4" on side for matting with your solid
cardstock). When the flips are closed,
before photos are placed, it will still look as if you matted everything.
The other optional is to mat
the 1/4" area between each flip. As
an alternative you can add a strip of solid ribbon here like I did on the
outside edges of the portfolio.
