Page 1: Adding Patterned Paper to the inside front and back covers
Now that the black cardstock is attached to the hinges its time to add flips, pockets and patterned paper. I call the inside cover "Page 1". Choose what papers you'd like to use. You will cut more black cardstock for the pocket and any flips you might like. I like my front and back inside coves to use the same papers and pockets. I measure and cut my base paper, 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 because the pocket covers the bottom of the base paper. In the picture above, first I used a punch along the top of the black cardstock for the pocket then measure and cut it at 2 3/8 x 9 1/8. Now would be the time to glue a different color paper behind the area that was punched out. Some 1/2" wide red paper behind the stars would look nice. Fold both sides in 3/8". Now run a bead of glue along the bottom of the inside of the pocket and also glue the outside tabs because you will fold them in. Press down the sides and bottom to glue the pocket down, leave the top open.
