Swatch Book Tutorial

In my Rose Quartz Swatchbook Share video, you saw the little mini swatchbook I created using the Tonic Studios Legacy Keepsake Wallet die set.

In these two videos, I’ll be showing you how to put these cute little albums together. There are two binding methods I use — one for my designer paper (which is more of a keepsake) and one for my solid cardstocks (which is more functional for coordinating papers).

Method 1

This method is what I use for my “keepsake” swatchbooks which I’ve been using to save some of my pretty decorative paper packs.

Method 2

This method is what I’ve used swatch solid color cardstock.

Tips & Tricks

  • Consider swatching your pretty pattern paper after you’ve made your project so you can be sure you have enough paper for your project.
  • If you decide to swatch your pattern paper before creating your project, you may want to select the part that isn’t the main focal image, so you can use that on your project.
  • For my solid cardstock, I like to write on one side: the brand, color name, paperweight, and sometimes best place to buy.
