Step 1: Fold a chipboard piece using the measurements written over the photos and using your paper trimmer.
Step 2: Fold the purse shaped cover as shown
Step 3: Cover the outside ofr the cover with Black & Ivory French Script on white cardstock. The heavy weight of the chipboard and the cardstock combined make the “purse” nice and sturdy. Mix and match the papers to create a fantastic, eclectic look, the vintage design looks good in a mix and match fashion.
Step 4: Cover the inside part with Red & Ivory and Black & Ivory Damask papers over white chipboard.
Step 5: To finish the inside of the guest book, die cut two scalloped pieces of Kraft & Black and Red & Ivory Damask papers and arrange them on the inside part of the cover as shown. Die cut ” Thank you” title and glue it over the scalloped die cuts.
Step 6: Create a self-made Kraft Cardstock Notebook by cutting 10-12 sheets of cardstock the same size and to finish the note pad, cover the top with Printed Burlap – Damask and glue into place – this can be flipped to add signatures and notes from the party guests.
