Instructions:

1. Paint the cover of the composition notebook with Gesso or

white acrylic paint.

2. Paint over the Gesso with The Best Glue Ever!. When it dries,

the glue will remain super tacky-great for fabric and ribbon.3. Adhere the fabric to the front cover of the notebook. Apply

the glue to the inside of the cover and let dry. Fold the edges

around.

4. Adhere a sheet of super sticky tape to coordinating fabric

(57), trim and adhere to the inside cover.

5. Cut chipboard to size for the cross stitch piece. Use super

sticky tape to adhere the cross stitch to the chip board, wrapedges around the back side and adhere.

6. Cut card stock to size: 1/2 wider on all sides than the cross

stitch piece. Punch a decorative border around all edges using

the Purple Cows Punch It.

7. Cut the fabric 1/2 larger than the card stock and pull fibers

from all edges creating a frayed edge. Assemble the cross stitch

embellishment (cross stitch on top, then punched cardstock ontop of teal mesh) and secure with hot glue. Affix the cross stitch

to the front cover of the notebook.

8. Ink the paper flowers, Layer the flowers and place into a Hot

Pocket and laminate. Trim and apply adhesive to the edges and

dip into gold microbeads. Let Dry. Use the Melt Tool (with the

20ss tip) on high setting to affix a nailhead from the Craft Iron

Tips Gem Setting Kit to the center of the flower.

9. Use the Wind It tool to create a wire book mark with the

Aqua Wind It Wire. Punch a small hole into the corner of the

flower charm and slip onto the wire flourish.
