First, cover the two pieces of chipboard with chocolate chip cardstock using glue stick.
Second, you will make the spine of the book. Take the longest piece of Greenhouse Gala DSP, remove the sticky page lining, vertically center and place one chipboard piece on the right (see pen marking to the right on DSP)... place the other chipboard piece on the left (see pen marking to left).
Wrap the extended edges around.
Next, place the shorter piece of DSP to cover the rest of the spine. (You should now see, from left to right: cover, dsp, cover.)
Fold this in half so the corners of the front and back cover meet.
Third, line up the cover template to the folded side. Punch 2 holes using a Crop-a-dile. Set aside.
Fourth, you will create reinforced pages. Start with one peach parfait strip. Use glue stick on one entire side.
Line up an old olive page to the first score line.
Fold the peach parfait piece in half (according to the middle score line).
Repeat these steps for all the pages. Hint: It helps to line up the peach parfait and old olive pages on top of each other.
Fifth, once the reinforced interior pages are complete, you will line them up with the interior page template and punch holes.
Sixth, place the interior pages within the covers you set aside earlier. Pull ribbon through the holes--a few pages at a time. Tie a knot and snip off any extra ribbon.
Seventh, Adhere the whisper white top note die cut in the center of your front cover. Adhere the butterflies on top of the top note layer.
This is what the finished booklet looks like on the inside:
This can be used as a mini scrapbook, poem book, travel journal, or perhaps some other keepsake. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
