Here's another different way to use book rings, which I must admit I had never seen before. It might be new to some of you too.
Gio made a mini album and a rubber stamp holder. Love the gorgeous colours too. What about you? Let us know in a comment below
For the mini album:
I cut grey cardstock to get some house shape and I gessoed them with the Pebeo Gesso. I used some different stencils, from the Crafters Workshop and Crafty Individuals and I spread some PaperArtsy Grunge Paste with a palette knife trough the stencils. When dry, I sprayed several colours of Dylusions ink sprays. I highlighted the raised areas with the Treasure Gold: Brass, using my fingers. I stamped every page with swirls, text and flowers from Hot Picks 1006 and Hot Picks 1206 using plates Ranger Archival Ink pad: Jet Black.
For the binding: I made some holes for the 25 mm rings, 2 cm one from another. I put the book rings trough the holes in vertical way, using two holes for every ring.
For the rubber stamp holder
I cut two rectangles of heavy cardstock to size, I gessoed them with the Pebeo Gesso.
I folded them and I glued one to another on one side to create a folder. I reinforce the corners with some washi tape.

For the binding: I made two holes at the time, for the 50 mm rings: 4,5 cm one from another. I put the book rings trough the holes in horizontal way, using two holes for every ring.
Here's a little step by step template Gio made to show you how she created the folder.
