                                    by Judy Cantrell

My inspirations came when I saw a book that spelled out words. 

Each cover letter has its own pages behind it for jotting down notes or thoughts. 

I made this heart's gift using a variety of tools and supplies from my stash. 

This made this tutorial when I was on the design team for RRA. (Rubber Road Adventure)

Finished size: 4” x 8”

Supplies:

Cuttlebug heart embossing folder 

Vagabond

Base Camp Font Cartridge 

Cricut Electronic cutter

Bind-it-All 

Red Owires; ¾” 

Wire cutter

Perfect Pearl pigment powder 

Perfect Medium pad 

Detail and dusting brush

Red, black and white cardstock

White copy paper

Paper flower punch

Paper trimmer

Clear Gel tacky glue

 Instructions: 

1)    This small booklet comes together using four separate sections. Each letter has its on white pages.  

2)    Cut 8 precise pieces of red cardstock 

a)    2 - 2 x 4,” 

b)    2 – 4 x 4,” 

c)     2 – 6 x 4,”  

d)    2 – 8 x 4.” 

3)    Cut white pages slightly small for each 4 sets of red cardstock. I used 10 pages for each section. 

4)    Emboss front sections of each red cardstock with heart embossing folder.  

Designers Note: Emboss the red front sections V and E twice. 

5)    Use detail brush to apply Perfect Pearl pigment powder to each embossed red cardstock. Use dusting brush to remove excess powder. 

Designers Note: Perfect Pearls come in many fabulous colors; I used Perfect Pearl color for this project. Its luster was perfect for this project and doesn’t rub off because it has a binder in it.

6) Arrange red embossed front, white paper and red cardstock for each section.

7) Use Bind-it-All tool to cut holes in each section per instructions of this tool.

8) Use wire cutter to cut desired Owires. Apply per instructions of Owires to bind the booklet. 

9) Cricut electronic machine and Base Camp font cartridge was used to cut the word “LOVE” 2 ½.” Adhere the L to the 2 x 4” piece, O to 4 x 4,” V to 6 x 4” and E to 8 x 4” piece. These can be straight across or graduated as I did on this project. 

10) Use white cardstock to punch 3 flowers. Adhere to the letter O. 

11) I hope you’ll enjoy making this project. Other words and names could be made with a little adjustment.
