"Alright, we've finished applying all of the designer series paper to the outside of the box, now we're going to start on the inside. And, what I'm going to do to get my measurements is to just measure from this score line here, and it's 4-3/4 by 3-3/4 and I need two of those. And, on the outside, I'm going to have the same paper that's on the outside of my box. So, 4-3/4 x 3-3/4. You can choose any kind of paper you like, here, I just really like these flowers I thought they we're nice for Mother's Day. And then I also need a piece, one piece for the middle, the back of the book here, that's 1 inch by 3-3/4. So that will be the last piece I need for the outside of the book. Now when we go to the inside of the book, same thing, this is how I get my measurements, I'm just measuring from that score line there and it's 4-3/4 by 3-3/4. But, here, I'm going to use the stripes, which is just the opposite side of the paper. 4-3/4 x 3-3/4, and this time I only need two. And if you have a one way design, you know if you wanted the stripes going one way or the other, just make sure you cut it that way. But I like the way these stripes are going. So that's it, our paper's cut and now we can get ready to use the glue stick and apply the paper."
