The album has the look of leather or fabric with mitered corners, but it's actually the result of Anna Griffin's "sticky note" stamping technique.
Figure A
Figure B
Anna Griffin uses a sticky note to carefully mask off her corners as she stamps a mitered effect.
Position sticky notes at 45B0 angles in 2 adjacent corners of the paper. The notes should cover the outer most side of the corners. Stamp the border so that part of the image is stamped on the sticky notes.
Remove the sticky notes to reveal the masked area (figure A).
To continue, use another sticky note to cover part of the area already stamped as to not get an overlapping image. Make sure the edge of the note is lined up with the edge of the stamped image. Add another sticky note at the next corner where the border will continue.
Stamp the image (figure B). Part of the image appears on the sticky note that masks off the area.
When the mask is removed, you have a mitered corner. Repeat for remaining corners.
