What you need to Scrapbook

something new that i’ll be showing you
today our eyelids which are basically
like grommets for those of you who do
any kind of sewing you do need special
tools to set these I prefer to use I
like setting tools which is a hole punch
and a setter tool the eyelet setter is
pretty sharp and it’ll actually put
holes through your tabletop so you want
to put something underneath to protect
your surface then you want to position
the hole punch where you want your
eyelet to be and then what you do with a
hammer is you give it a couple of whacks
and that makes the hole in the page take
your eyelet and slip it through and on
the back side you’re going to have the
little end of the eyelid sticking out
now you need to take the tip of your
eyelet setting tool and insert it in
that little in that’s sticking out and
hit the hammer again that’s what it
looks like when it’s finished so we’re
going to put one of these on each end of
our piece of cardstock you can use them
to secure your paper in place a lot of
people LC use them on pages to lace
ribbon through so now that we’ve got our
title block done what we’re going to do
is we’re going to glue our pictures down
onto the page now we’re going to be
using this pre-cut table and in order to
make it just a little bit more
interesting I thought that we put some
3d adhesive underneath what we call pop
dots which are basically little foam
squares I have a little bit of thickness
to them so you can make any photo or
title raise up a little bit from the
page and then Center it on your page
like that so I think for the last step
what we’ll do is we’re going to add a
couple of pieces of this color card
stock down here so that we can write in
the names of the people in the photos so
for that I think we’re going to use
pieces that are an inch by four and a
half inches the full width of the black
card stock
Stan on to our page our last step is
going to be inserting the breads onto
the page the Brad’s are basically
somewhat like eyelids in the sense that
they pierce through the page we’re going
to be using a paper piercer which is
just basically like a thumb tack and all
it does is that it makes a hole for you
in your paper so you just want to stab
that right through there and that makes
a hole for you to insert your brad
easily and then what you want to do is
you just want to turn it over open it up
to secure it into place so we are going
to put one on each end of each of our
text blocks here so now we’ve completed
our page the only thing left to do would
be to add some text into our text boxes
below so now you’ve seen some more tools
and embellishments that you can use on
your pages as well as working with a few
more papers and accessories so you can
imagine all of the possibilities that
are available to you in the world of
scrapbooking
