Composition Book Cover

Directions:

1. Stamp mathematic symbols on cream cardstock using clear embossing ink. Heat emboss with opalescent powder. Trim cardstock to match the size and shape of the composition book cover, then edge the piece with dark teal ink. Adhere to the cover.
2. Cut a wide wave shape from the circle print paper to cover the book at the binding edge. Ink the edges with dark teal ink, then glue in place.
3. Cut a 2” strip from light blue green cardstock and a 2 ½” strip from orange cardstock. Ink the edges with dark teal ink, then center the strips and glue together. Tie the green and cream ribbons around the left side and adhere the whole piece to the book ¾” from the top. Trim the ends of the ribbon with pinking shears.
4. To create the subject title, stamp the letters on cream cardstock with light teal ink. Immediately apply opalescent embossing powder and heat emboss for a shiny surface on the letters. Cut each letter out to shape and adhere to the strip with 3-D dots.
5. Punch the left edge of a library card using the binding edge punch. Trim the bottom of the card off with pinking shears and ink the edges of the card with dark teal ink. Tie pieces of light bue sheer ribbon onto the binding edge of the card, then adhere the card to the front of the book as shown.
6. Cut a large circle from orange cardstock and another from the circle print paper, the orange one being a bit larger. Edge both with the dark teal ink and adhere to the bottom right corner of the cover. Trim off the excess and ink around edges of book with dark teal ink.
7. Punch out 4 green circles from the circle print paper. Using light teal ink and the numbers set, stamp the year on the punched circles. Edge each one with dark teal ink and adhere to the bottom area of the book with 3-D dots.
