Now we are making a book cover

Once those flaps are dry, you can attach your two 3 inch square layers...
Now, turn your book over and you can stamp your back, spine and front covers...All images used in this book are from Innovative Stamp Creations...I just love Betsy women images...and use them quite often in my books...Once your cover is done...you are ready to make the inside accordian of the book...
You will cut two pieces from a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock 2 and 7/8 inch wide...Then using your Scor It Board, or other scoring method of your choice...Betsy also sells the Scor It Boards...You will score the 2 and 7/8th inch wide piece, every 2 and 7/8ths inches...Once you score both pieces, cut the little ends off that you will not need...then accordian both pieces and join to make one long accordian from this...it should look like the picture here... Now I have started adding some background interest images to the accordian piece...
Oh, be sure and mark the back of the accordian...This is the panel that will glue into the inside back of the book cover...So there is no sense stamping it...
