I explain that in my basic pages video :) the cover measures 9x9,5 with an 3 inch spine. I also sell cutting guides for everything on Etsy.

    @@andreacohen3761 Ah sorry, I misunderstood. I actually never do more than 5 hinges. I always do either 4 or 5 hinges and with both option I stick to a 3 inch spine. I still have more pages because of the additional page flaps which don’t require another hinge but are added to a basic page 😊

    I was under the impression that your tutorial was for the U.S too. I can’t buy the set of tools you used. Based on this tutorial it also doesn’t show the measurements of the pages nor how you put them together to create your albums. Do you have this type of tutorial?

    Hey Lisa, Sorry no the tool set is from an European shop but I am sure you will get something similar in the U.S Aswell. I think I saw someone getting it on Etsy ? But if you don’t have it you can still make the cover by drawing an even border of (0.75”) around the chipboard construction and use some 0.25” tape in between as a place holder. I don’t have a part on the pages and how I put everything together yet but I will upload a video on the hinge and attaching the pages soon. There also will be parts on each page style.
