ATC Dress Album

Of course all the dresses had to have their own album. You can see the individual ATC's in the previous post.
I used Every Day Paper Dolls for the dress, cut it at 9" Real Size on double sided card stock. I hid everything except for the dress outline. I cut one for the front, then flipped it and cut the back. (If you have noticed, sometimes shapes aren't symmetrical, so if you want them to match, just flip.)

To assemble, I first scored the front dress from underarm to underarm, so it could easily be folded up. I stitched the front to the back across the sleeve bands and around the neckline, then covered both with baby size rick rack. I adhered a 1/8" ribbon at the score line on the front and added a bow, and the pink buttons. And rickrack at the hemline also.



I used a scrap cut in the same arc as the dress bottom and used the Martha Stewart Lacy Border (I'm not sure if that is the name of it or not) and punched around the edge, which was a little confusing because I was punching it on a curve, instead of straight, but it worked out.

For the inside pages, I cut 4x5 rectangles and scored one end of 4" side at 1/2" and adhered a cellophane ATC card holder on each rectangle, close to the bottom edge. I had to have space for six cards. I used four of the 4x5 rectangles, adhering the first at the score line up inside where the dress is folded up when opened. Then I adhered the 1/2" scored portion of the other three rectangles with the edge butted up against the one on top. Each card will easily flip up, and the ATC's can be removed to see the info on the reverse side.
I adhered a holder directly to the back cover for the fifth ATC.




The ATC I made was rather bulky so I made the pocket, put some eyelets and ribbon to hold it closed (there is also a bottom flap folded to the inside so the ATC won't go all the way through the pocket), and adhered it to the inside front of the cover.


That's all there is to it.
