Pocket Pop Mini Album, taught by Lance from Rusty Pickle

Length of Class: 3 hours
Level: Advanced

The size might be mini, but the techniques are MANY in this high-energy class featuring vibrant products from Rusty Pickle. We’ll start with a 6x6 pocketed spiral album and enhance and customize the built-in pockets to be an interactive smorgasbord of pull-outs and hidden surprises. The big surprise, though, is on the very last page – a petal-fold envelope with a spring-up picture ball. The ball even spins to allow all sides to be easily viewed!

Your class kit will be bursting with a 6x6 spiral pocketed album, papers, punch-out tags, letter stickers, cardstock, brads, jump rings, fabric, rubber bands, templates, detailed instructions and color photos of the original project.

Come prepared to work hard, including precision cutting and folding, and bring the following supplies to class:
General Adhesive – your choice, but avoid tapes with backing sheets (too time consuming). A tape runner is ideal, glue is acceptable.
Glue Dots – or tacky tape – something strong – this is essential to the picture ball!
Scissors
Old Scissors – if you’re bringing tacky tape – bring old scissors to cut it. They will get gummy!
Paper piercer (or push pin)
Craft knife, cutting mat, ruler
Scoring tool – highly recommend an embossing stylus – something with a small, precise tip
Trimmer
Anywhere hole punch with a medium bit. (The size for a standard eyelet)
Crop-a-Dile (if you have one)
Large circle or oval punch (if you have one)
Needle-nosed pliers (if you have them)
