Recipe book - C is For Cookie - AVSC

Hi All, 

Here we are again with a Creative Team project for 

Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft - AVSC

This month 'June' is themed 'C Is For Cookie" and yep it's my favourite topic

'COOKING'

Of course I had to create a recipe book and with this gorgeous paper it turned out perfect..

This design was cased from Kathybydesigns.com Here

Cut five pages 8 inches x 5 inches. Score at 3 5/8 inches x 4 3/8 inches.

 On one page fold as shown. 

On one page fold 1 1/8 inch both sides and fold back on itself  as shown.

Use strong adhesive on the top and bottom flap only so it makes a pocket. When you add it to the  book, adhere the whole top and bottom to the next page  

 I used a white page so you can see where to adhere the black pages as an example.. Adhere under the black page on the edges.

Place the pages together and sew down the spine or use strong adhesive to keep it together.

Cut all the mats out and ink around the edges.

Cover of book.. 3 3/8 inch x 4 3/4 inch. Cut four - cover, inside & back, inside. 

Mats: 1 1/2 inch x 4 7/8 inch, 1 inch x 4 7/8 inch, 1 3/8 inch x 4 7/8 inch Cut two of each. 

I mucked up with this measurement so you will see an assortment of papers on this page.. 

I cut a square, 1/8 inch smaller than the triangle and then cut that in half on the diagonal. 

Adhere the edge and the bottom together to form a pocket..

Cut 3 3/8 inch x 4 7/8 inch cut four.

Using the Mosaic template, place on the Wax Lips Bazzill cardstock (love , love this colour) and pat Versa Mark ink over top.

Pour Vintage Pearl Embossing Powder Here over top as shown. Tap off excess and heat emboss. 

You can see in this photo I have started to heat emboss on the outside - shiny and bright.

I rubbed Archival Coffee on top of the embossing and though you might not see it here, it
actually made a gold colour.. Happy coincidence for me..  

Cover is decorated with stickers from the sticker sheet.. I made them into a shaker topper.. 

(you cannot have to many shaker cards lol)

The Inside Cover I used a cut-apart from one of the 12 x 12 inch papers and made it a pocket to hold a tag with recipes.. 

The fold back flap with tags in both sides is Page One.

Page Two has the fold down flap with a couple of recipe tags on the top and one under. 

Page Three I made a pocket with a cut - apart and printed a few recipes together and folded one over the pocket as shown.. I added another tag behind it..

Page Four I left simple with a printed recipe.

I covered the spine with washie tape Here by simply wrapping it completely around the spine. 

Page Five I created a waterfall using the idea from Gina Here over at AVSC. This has recipes on the pages..

Page Six  I did a fold down flap with a pocket underneath.. 

Again I used Gina's Idea Here to create this..

Page Seven is a mirror image from page two. I made a little booklet from the cut apart paper and tied it with string.. I tucked it underneath the flap.

Page Eight is a mirror image from page one.

The inside Back Cover has a cut - apart as a pocket with a tag in it.

For the Spine I stamped Coffee Understands from Picket Fence Here on to sticky back canvas and adhered it to the spine..

My Takes on NSD Month - AVSC

Hi all,

How are we going along today?

I had a pretty good one enjoying lots of laughter with a few friends up in the studio..

And bulldusting may I also add hehe..

Anyway to get to the point here are my takes on the challenges that are on Aunty Vera Scrap and Craft Here. Go and have a look at all the brilliant Creative Team Challenges which has tutorials for all of them may I add...

 I hope you like them..  (Warning Heavy photo posts)

This was my take from Wendy's Flat Pack Time Capsule..

I am going to take Wendy's advice and create one for each of my grandchildren to open when they are teens.. See Wendy's tutorial Here for all the details.. Love this idea so much..

 

Silvia's Challenge Here was a Scrap Page created from a sketch.. This is my take on it..  I die cut the border with a Martha Steward Heart Border Punch then used the hearts on the side to highlight the border.. How wonderful did this turn out..

 

Tina's challenge  Here  

was a beauty.. I adore Easel cards and Shaker cards so when Tina combined the two I was in heaven lol.. Tina then took it to a whole new level and added a Book under it.. Brilliant!!

Tina had a shaped tag, I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities Butterfly Round Die.

The book opened..

My favourite embossing powder by far.. Wonderful with shabby chic kind of things..

 I hope you can see the gold shine on all the flowers on all the papers I did.. It just gave them the extra sparkle they needed.. I am not sure if I will make a photo album from this or a quote book..

Gina's challenge is a Junk Journal Here.
I had so much fun with this one as well.. She created two signatures
and a cover so this is my take on them plus an extra signature..

Cover of Junk Journal..

Inside the Junk Journal with a metal clasp to keep it closed. 

Back of the Junk Journal with stencilled embossing using the gorgeous  

Vintage Pearl Embossing Powder Here    Love this stuff..

Signature Two

This paper was from Ultimate Crafts and is called Magnolia Lane..

Inside Signature One, which I placed homemade paper, tissue, envelopes, music paper, paper bag and doilies to name a few..  I have yet to add more tags and bits and bobs..

Signature One

This is an interactive signature as you will see.. Wonderful choices Gina..

The first page was a fold down and a fold up flaps with pockets underneath..

The second page was a fold over pocket with a tag..

The back of the signature had a waterfall effect, I think Gina made four and I did five.. As yet am to add photos to all of this Junk Journal..

I created a Third Signature using a napkin and acetate with a sewing pattern piece of tissue

 on the inside to give the napkin extra strength..

I only added a few pages to this little one with some sewing, lace and ribbon..

All of my challenges together.. 

My theme was Recipes this month as that is what brings my family and many many great 

memories together..

ALL the challenges together

 Mine as well as the Creative Team. How gorgeous are all of these.. 

I have totally enjoyed making all these Challenges from these four wonderful creative ladies. Their talent blew me away.. Please check out their works with all the tutorials on the links beside their names , you will love them all I promise..
