Christmas book Tutorial Basics
Die cut front with the first, (largest) oval tree frame
die and set aside.
#2 Each page is 4 ½ X 5 ½”, center each progressively smaller
oval tree frame die onto each page.
#3 This is the harder more confusing part…The
page/binding tabs: Start with a 3 ¼ X 5 ½” piece of white then score at ¼”, 5/8”,
1”, 1 ¼”, 1 5/8”, 2”, 2 ¼”, 2 5/8”, and 3”.
Valley fold ¼” score then mtn fold the 5/8”, valley fold the 1” and 1 ¼”
then mtn fold the 1 5/8”, Valley fold the 2” and 2 ¼” then mtn fold the 2 5/8”
finally valley fold the 3” this will leave a ¼” tab at the end. Now glue together the 5/8 to the 1”, glue the
1 5/8 to the 2” and glue the 2 5/8 to the 3” to make 3 page tabs with ¼”
between each page tab and ¼” at the start and end. This should fit perfectly into the 1” space
on the book base in the center for binding.
If it doesn’t fit perfectly without interference with scores then trim
the two ¼” ends to fit…it should be flat when glued down with tabs sticking up.
#4 Glue pages on with tab behind each. The last page (back cover) is a piece of
white cut 4 ¼ X 5 ¼” then letter pressed with an embossing folder. I used Tumbled Glass Distress for mine, it
turns out better when you roller (brayer) the color onto the embossing folder. Glue this onto the back avoiding the score
line.
#5 Glue the bunny and birds onto which ever pages you
prefer. Glue Merry Christmas onto the
front bottom.
#1 Front and back are 3 X 4”. Side is 1 ¾” scored on both long sides at ¼”,
turn then score at 4” and 7”.
#2 Where score lines intersect on side piece, cut triangle out up to long score line so the side folds around front and back easily.
#3 Cut 2 pieces of acetate or vellum for the inside of
front and back 2 78 X 3 7/8” to avoid all corners.
#4 Die cut front and back with small enough oval tree
frame die to fit. Glue the acetate to
the inside.
#5 Starting with one side at a time, glue the side on
with tabs inside box. When both sides
are on glue border around the top then glue deer and star on.
#6 Punch a hole at the top of each side top then thread
some ribbon through, knot each side on the inside.
