Blizzard book

Gradually working through the book "The Art of the Fold" - this month's task was the Blizzard Book (Section 12, page 71).  The finished size is only 5.7 x 9 cm (credit card size), but for the sixteen pockets suggested you need a paper length of 90 cm.  Luckily I had a roll of brown wrapping paper which I decorated with handmade stamps before attempting the folding.

The slip case is made from thin card and I followed the instructions from this video.



I have since tied the enclosed booklet with ribbon and
added the collaged decoration to the cover
(this photo also gives a truer idea of the colour)

  1. That would be a great little album for storing ATC's! I like the decorated brown paper you used.

    1. Yes, good idea Charne. The brown paper was a bit flimsy, but with the number of folds you wouldn't want anything too sturdy.

    1. Thank you Helen. Once you get started it is a bit addictive! I was interested in your "boiled papers" - is this the same as eco printing with plant material?
