Add the smaller panel to each, adhering the glue tab in place then secure the support tab with a dot of glue in the corners.

Overlap the folded section on each, overlap and glue the two together to create the double case.

You can either leave the bases loose or glue them together.

Die cut two straps for each side along with four buckles. Fold at the score lines and glue two together at the dotted section, lining them up on your suitcase. Thread a buckle over the glued section.

Adhere the glued section to the back of your suitcase, threading another on and slot the other end of the strap through the buckle to hold into place.

Cut 8 corners and two handles. Finish your suitcase by gluing these into position.

Die cut the decorative panel in white and the plain panel in ocean- glue these together using deluxe Adhesive. 

Trim off the end of 2 base cards you have already die cut out, these will be the centre pages of your book. These also need the holes placing in the side as we did previously in step 2.

Now you have 2x pieces of card with a glue flap, this needs to be folded and wrapped under the 2nd page of the book.

Add the second flap in just the same way so you have you should have a 3 page pull out.

All these pages need a white layer. Stamp the camera stamp on the centre of each piece of card, to indicate where the photo is to be placed. Add a magnet to the underside of the decorative flap and to the middle of the page. Cover the magnets with card. 

Same as the first page add the decorate element to the front of the flap.

Use the base die with the score lines trimmed off to create the centre page. Fold as in step one and line with white card and add a decorative flap.

Use the same die for the back page as the front page. Trim nothing away but add the holes for the rings to thread through. Add a plain layer to the underside of the decorative flap and add the decorative element.

To make the envelope to place on the back page you will need x2 base pieces of card. Cut off the shaped panel and the remaining 4x score lines on the first card so you are left with a large piece with 1x score line. Fold the card at the score line. The flap will form a glue tab.

Now trim the decorative panel and all score lines off the second piece of card, you are left with a rectangle with no score lines.

Add glue to the tabs and glue to the central rectangle piece to create an envelope shape.

Now add glue to the top and bottom of the central panel or use very thin red line tape. You only need a small amount of glue here. Glue the side panel to the central panel.

Before decorating the envelope add a magnet to the underside of the envelope flap and another to the central panel and then cover the envelope in ocean card stock. Add the decorative panel to the front of the envelope. 

Glue the envelope to the inside of the back page with deluxe adhesive, making sure the envelope opens to the outer edge of the book base.

A decorative scalloped Die cut can be placed on the front of the envelope panel joining the 2x decorative panels together.

Now add the rings to your pages. You will need 8 x of these. Add strips of ribbon in white, mustard and navy to the rings by double knotting them. Now add any sentiments to your book. 

If you so wish the decorative panels on the front of the book can now be paper pieced. Die cut the decorative panel in the desired colour (I have used yellow) and carefully remove the die trying to keep all the pieces on your cutting mat. Using a pick up tool or fine tweezers add the pieces of card to the decorative panel. Adhere with Deluxe Adhesive. This gives a stunning finish to your book and makes it really pop with a splash of colour.

For the simple layered pockets, cut two of the dotted edge rectangle, cut one in half. Add some scored strips of card to attach the two together. This will give enough room to slide things in. I've added these to the inside covers and also to the back of the envelope pocket. 

Add decorations to your taste. I've used silver mirror card and because I wanted an extra layer I've drawn around the inside of the die and carefully cut out my patterned paper.

Stretch the elastic band to the spine of the book wrap, add the envelope pocket and the ready made notebooks. Embellish with the toppers from the pack so they match in with your theme. By using this system to attach the books, they can be removed and replaced easily once they are filled.

The closures were made from a die cut flower with some Bakers Twine as a wrap. Either brad or glue them in place.

Add Dream Drops to the die cut flower pattern. Die cut a floral rectangle and glue to the back of the book.

Using patterned paper of your choice, cut two large rectangles for front and back of box. Cut three of the slim rectangles in the same pattern.

For accents: In Gold Pearl, cut one 16 X 3 cm panel for the top of the box and two 11 X 3 cm panels for the sides. Glue one patterned paper slim rectangle on the longer gold strip. For the side panels, cut the remaining two slim patterned rectangles to 10 cm in length and glue to the shorter gold panels. 

Glue top and side panels to the box forms.

Glue the large patterned rectangle to the back of the box. Before gluing the front panel, attach one magnet with redline tape, securing it 8 cm from the top of the box front, in the center (8.5 cm from the side). Add more redline tape to the top of the magnet and glue the remaining large patterned rectangle to the front of the box.

Assemble the box, gluing box front flaps to the back, starting with the narrow flap on the die cut piece, gluing it to the bottom edge of the template piece.

Closure: Cut out a large medallion die with Denim Blue and the smaller medallion die with Gold Pearl. Cut out the flower center in Mustard Yellow, the fishtail banner in patterned paper, and the “love” sentiment in Denim Blue and its shadow in white.  

Lay the blue medallion piece over the box and lay the magnet over it for placement. It will find it’s mate and line up. Position the blue piece so the magnet is in the bottom 1/3 of the medallion while leaving a border so the gold medallion will cover the magnet. Adhere the magnet onto the blue piece with redline tape.  

Add redline tape to the top of the magnet and one foam square to the top 1/3 of the medallion. Peel the foam and redline tape and apply the gold medallion over them, centering over the lower medallion.

Glue the sentiment to its shadow. Glue them to the center of the flower and add the fishtail banner to the back. Apply to closure medallions with foam squares.

Line up the lid with the box, making sure it’s squared. Match the magnets in the medallion and box, and glue the top portion of the medallion to the box flap.

Take a thin ribbon and lace your book together loosely starting at the top and working down and back up in a criss cross. The pages will need to lie flat when open so they do not tear. Once your pages are decorated a lot of that loose ribbon will be taken up.

Decorate your pages with pockets, layers, secret compartments hidden by magnetic closures and anything else you can think of to fit in your book. Decoration is very personal and can be done to your taste.

TOP TIP: If you find your card being marked by your plates, add a sheet of thin copier paper while cutting.

For the covers: Die cut the main outer edge die twice. Trim the small scored section from the edge of each one, then trim off the shaped section up to the first score line on one of the die cuts.

Fold the larger die cut along the centre score line in a mountain fold, the next is a valley fold and the last one towards the shaped section will also be a mountain fold. The second die cut will need two mountain folds as shown.

Overlap the two cover die cuts at the first score line and adhere together.

For the inside ‘concertina’ folded page section, cut another six of the main outer edge die and trim off at the multi score line section on all six. These will form your pages and a glue tab.

Glue one of the pages to the scored and folded section of the covers adding glue on top of the scored glue tab to secure the front cover. Your page should be sandwiched between the score lines.

To enable the pages to fold forwards and backwards onto themselves, you will need to alternate the folded glue tabs Mountain folds and valley folds. The first will be a valley fold to glue to the rear of the first page, the next will be a mountain fold, again adhering to the rear of the next page. Carry on adding however many pages you would like, I have used six.

Decorate the book to your own taste.

TOP TIP: Add Magnetic Closures and use your off cuts and layers to disguise them

For the covers: Die cut the main outer edge die twice. Trim off the shaped section at the first score line.

Fold each one along the furthest score line, overlap and glue these together. They form the spine.

For the pages: Die cut six of the same outer edge die, trim off the small scored section on each one. Trim off the shaped section from two at the second score line, two at the third score line and two at the fourth score line.

Fold each of these at the first score line to form your pages, overlap and glue each set together.

Take your covers and open them so they lay flat, glue the pages at the central spine, overlaying them until you get to the smallest.

Decorate your book to your own taste.

For the covers: Die cut the main outer edge die twice. Trim off the shaped section at the first score line on one of the die cuts. On the other die cut, fold at the central three score lines.

Select one of the ‘Punch Hole’ dies and cut this into the single scored section on each of your die cuts.

Take the layer die and cut sheets of paper to fill your book. Cut the same ‘Punch Hole’ die into the edge of these.

Take a length of bakers twine or ribbon of your choice and lace your covers and pages together.

To add a pen holder, cut the rectangular edge die from patterned paper, trim approximately a third from the length and roll around a thick pen so the edges over lap to enable you to glue them together. Adhere this to the side of the inner pages, adding a pen to clip over the edge.

Add magnetic closures and decorate to your taste.

TOP TIP: When you cut the paper sheets for inside your book, because of the dotted detail around the edge they tend to stick together. Keep them together like this until you have punched the holes for lacing the book together, then separate.
