Basic Book

1. Choose 15 sheets of cardstock from the 6x6 crafters block. Colors can be in sets of 3 or random.
2. Choose one sheet of designer paper from the Christina Cole 8x8 slab – trim to 6”x 6”.
3. Punch all sheets using the Punch n Bind – trim any ½ holes if desired. Choose one sheet of punched cardstock that contrasts well with your chosen patterned paper. Use the Coluzzle Large Circle template to cut a curved edge on the right side.
4. Ink the edges of the designer paper and the curved top cover.
5. Set all pages aside while you design the cover of the book.

Best Friends Epoxy-Look Title

1. Cut ‘Best Friends’ out of Sizzix Pigeon Toed Uppercase letters. Trim the top loop off of each letter.
2. Rub the top of each letter on the clear embossing ink stamp pad, then dip immediately into the Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel.
3. Heat each letter with an embossing gun. Be careful not to over heat the letters as they will burn.
4. Adhere letters on the cover, leaving room to write above and below the title as shown in the demo project.
5. Dot the ‘I’ in your title using  a flower Bradletz.

Shrink Plastic Title

1. Using the Sizzix Pigeon Toed Alphabet, cut ‘Junior High’ out of pre-sanded shrink plastic. Cut with the sanded side faced down.
2. Use permanent markers to color each shrink plastic letter.
3. Carefully , and slowly, heat each letter with the embossing gun. Heat one letter at a time, holding the letter down with a pair of tweezers or scissors so that it doesn’t blow away.
4. Place finished shrink plastic title in place on the cover of the book and mark the holes on each letter using a needle. Sew each letter in place, following these pre-punched placement holes.

2. Bind all pages together following the directions that come with your Punch ‘n Bind machine.
3. Cut 5 tabs with the Sizzix Machine and the rectangular tab from the Tab die.
4. Adhere tabs to every 3rd page within the book.
5. Add sub-titles and alphabet sections to the tabs using the Halfabitty alphabet stickers.
