For this project, I demonstrate
how to make two books, a large book that contains a mini removable book.

The inspiration for this project comes
from the Sea Dream 8x8 paper pad and the Poem by Nathanial Hawthorn titled “The
Ocean”. You'll find a printable version of the poem further down in this post. I love the paper's design blending sea life with flowers.
I have created a new collage sheet, “SEA
DREAMS” for this project and used the sheet to decorate the mini-book.
To decorate the large book, I used various fern and seaweed type die-cut chipboard which I colored and made dimensional with
the use of paint, microbeads, and embossing powders.
Along with how to construct the book, I’ll
share with you other ideas for embellishments, such as taking an embellishment that is too small for the scale of the project and turning it into
something that is the right scale.
In the video tutorial below, I’ll walk you through all the steps to create books like this for yourself.
