This is a lovely way to
show your love. It is fabulous for any "loving occasion". These
small circular mini books measure 9.5cm in diameter and contain 5
sheets (making 10 pages in total).
Products used:
These books are
actually a very good way of using scraps etc. The list here is only
to show you what I have used and is not set in stone.

Front cover and
inside front cover:
Cover the chipboard front cover in
Imaginisce "Weak at the Knees" paper. Front cover using the reverse
of the paper. Remember to punch the hole at the top after gluing on
each side.
Sand the edges perfectly smooth (I
used a Basic Grey Precision file), then ink the edges with green and
gold inks (green first, let it dry then dab with gold).
Front cover:
-
Glue a large
K&Co Smitten cardstock heart into the front at a slight angle.
-
Stamp onto a
Basic Grey Two Scoops StickSticker accent with an
Imaginisce "i love u" clear stamp. Doodle a little on the
stamped words here and there with a gold pen (I used a gold
Pen-Touch pen). Stick onto the front cover.
-
Prepare a Basic
Grey ChipSticker tag by first covering the back with
paper, I used Imaginisce "Words can't express". Sand the
edges until smooth then ink with pink ink. Rub your finger round
the edges to take the ink slightly up onto the surface. Colour
in the "XOXO" with a metallic gold pen (I used a gold Pen-Touch
pen).
-
Attach three
large copper eyelets to the bottom (I used eyelets from the lime
green crop-a-dile). Thread through fibre from the Basic Grey Two
Scoops Fibre pack, then tie your previously prepared tag to it.
-
Stick tiny
Smitten Pillow Hearts all around the large heart.
Inside Front Cover:
You have already prepared this
side so all we are doing here is adding a little piece of paper at
the top. This is from Imaginisce paper "So Happy Together".
- Cut the two hearts and paper
above it into the appropriate shape then ink with metallic gold
ink and stick to the top.
- Punch through the hole you just
covered up.
