Good morning!
I have a little hand-bound book today that is meant to be a journal and book of encouragement
I thought it would be a nice gift for a friend who may need that bit of encouragement.

Instructions:
Book size
is 6 X 6”. Cut 4 pieces of white
cardstock 6 X 6” and score each piece at 1/2" on the left side. Cut 7 pieces of decorative paper (1 for each
side except the back) sized at 5 13/16” tall and 5 3/8” wide. Each front piece will be cut for a pocket,
the front needs a slit about 1/4" from the top for the Decorative Pocket
Accent die. Cut the pocket accent from
white and glue to the slit in the paper.
When gluing the paper to the cardstock, glue on the edges and leave the
pocket open for tag. Cut tag from white
and inner tag from decorative paper with a nice space for stamping a scripture
sentiment. Add white corners to the
bottom of tag cut using the Album Tags and Accents corner die. Use the same process on page 3. All inside pages have white corners at the
bottom of the page. Page 2 and 4 have
the Petite Pocket Accents, for this use the plain edge die to cut the tops and
cut the narrow border from white the go over edges. Glue sides and bottom only.
To decorative the front, stamp blossoms using Rose
Madder, die cut and form (see video above).
Glue 2 layers for each bloom, pierce center and insert stamen. Stamp Cherry Blossom Retreat branches, sign
and birdhouse. Stamp the Wishing Well, pail and flower pot from the Wishing
Well Oasis Use Black Memento for all and
color with Copics (or favorite coloring system). The branch, flower pot, sign
and pail go on the front. Pop up the
pail, insert tag in pocket and then cover the back with decorative paper and
draw journaling lines with blue glitter pen and a ruler. Stamp a tag from the decorative paper using
Forget-Me-Not ink with using Today’s Quotes and die cut with Album Tags. Page 2 front uses the wishing Well stamped previously
and die cut. Glue to the bottom along
with the corners. The tag is the same as page 1 tag (all the tags are alike
with different scriptures on each). All
the backs have lines the same as page 1.
The back of page 2 along with the lines has another tag die cut from the
decorative paper and stamped with Today’s Quotes. Brads are added to each end of the die cut
tag. Page 3 is decorated with the
birdhouse and 2 birds colored with Copics and 2 white corners. The back has another decorative paper tag cut
out and stamped with Today’s Quotes.
Page 4 is decorated with the Daydream bridge large die and white
corners. Die cut the center die of
Intricate Swirl Frame die set from white and stamp using Deep purple from For
My Friend Stamp Set. Pop up on the large
Daydream die cut. Glue 2 more birds
close to the top. The back of the book
is not decorated but you could add a piece of decorative paper to it if
desired.
Add a bit of glue to the 1/2" tabs and glue pages
together well enough to keep them together while punching 6 holes through all
layers. If you don’t have a screw punch
then use a leather punch or piercer. See
Japanese Stab Easy Book Binding (option B): https://incredibusy.com/easy-book-binding-two-ways/ for binding technique. Add a bead to each fiber end.

Oh wow mate this is one of the most exquisite books I have ever seen. Jaw dropping gorgeous Robyn..again!!! I am in awe of your talent.
You are amazing my friend! Both projects are absolutely beautiful. The book just blows me away...so creative.
Robin, I had to see how you made these beautiful pieces of art that you posted on SCS. The book blows me away; it is outstanding. I love your design with the tag on each page. Each page is a beauty in itself. The ivory and gold card is striking. I love the flowers and sentiment on this awesome piece of work. Your efforts are obvious and you are certainly an asset to HFC! Love both projects! Hugs!
