* All mini-composition books are not identical in size.  Sometimes the length is 1/16" off and the front and back panels are slightly off.  I start with the Cherry Cobbler cardstock size and after I glue it to the book, I trim using an X-ACTO knife. If the sizes vary greatly, small adjustments are needed for the black and patterned paper.

Creating Cards Using Card Maps/Layouts

In the past, I have created cards using card maps/layouts by starting with the card base. I still struggled finding the perfect image to use on a specific card layout.  This time I stamped the image and then looked through my card map/layout pins on Pinterest (HERE)  and created the card from the top layer down.

I offset the sentiment for for a different look.

The tassel is homemade, I used DMC 5 100% Cotton embroidery thread. DMC's cross stitch thread is too thin. Stampin' Up!'s baker's twine would definitely work as well as crochet thread. I lost my original instructions on how to make tassels.  I used this VIDEO but modified it; practice, practice, practice.
