Signs of Fall Mini Book by Leslie Ashe!

Supplies Needed:

Moxxie's Season of Change papers, cardstock stickers, and rub-ons
12x12 Cardstock in red, green, and orange
12x12 Scalloped cardstock
2 Crystals or gems
Chipboard letters or stickers
1 paper clip
1 metal clip
3 Buttons
Orange/Brown flowers or leaves
Adhesive

To begin lets start off with 2 sheets of 12x12 cardstock.
You're going to cut each piece of cardstock in half making 4 sheets of 6 x 12 pieces.
You will be using 3 of the 4 sheets. (You can use the 4th if you want a larger book).
I chose a green to make the Moxxie papers POP.
You can choose the color you want to use.

Next you are going to fold each piece of the 6 x 12 piece in half, making 2 squares (they will be perfect 6 x 6 size) Fold each one a different way, making an "accordian" look.

Take the 2 you folded alike and glue them to the sheet of 6 x 12 that you folded the opposite way, laying them on top of each other. Your pages will now be an accordian book.

To decorate the cover:-cut a piece of Moxxie's "Splash of Spice" to the size of 2 3/4 x 5 inches.
Cut a piece of Moxxie's '"Autumn Splendor" the same size.
Cut a piece of orange cardstock 3 x 6 inches.
Cut circles (or use shaped cardstock) for the bottom of the page to the size 1 3/4 inches x 1 3/4 inches.
First put down the orange cardstock 2 1/2 inches down from the top of your cover.
Next put down the "Autumn Splendor" 1 inch lower than the orange cardstock, placing it 1 inch from the left side of the cover.
Next lay down the "Splash of Spice" all the way to the right of your cover, just barely below (I eyeballed this one) the "Autumn Splendor".
Put your picture (whatever size you chose, whatever theme you chose) I cropped my picture to 3 x 3 1/2 inches.
Place the bracket sticker from Moxxie's "Season of Change" cardstock stickers just to the right of your photo.
Place a photo corner sticker from the "Season of Change" cardstock stickers on the left side of your photo.
Place the "hot chocoolate" sticker (also from the "Season of Change" cardstock stickers) towards the bottom of your photo, letting it touch the patterned paper and cardstock.
(For fun "bling", I added 2 swarovsky crystals on each side of the "hot chocolate" sticker)
Next, rub on "SIGNS OF" (you have to cut the rub ons out to get the words separated from the "Season of Change" rub ons on the top of your cover, adding leaves for a little dimension.
You can add dots by the letters if you choose.
Next you add letters "fall" going downwards beside your photo.
I used chipboard letters, you can use stickers if you choose.
Next you add a paper clip all the way to the left of your cover, on the orange cardstock.
Tie 3 different types of ribbon on the paper clip.
Finally, add a silver clip to the top right and add ribbon of your choice to the clip.
Page 1:
Cut a piece of Moxxie's "Autumn Splendor" to 3 x 5 inches.
Tear a piece of Moxxie's "Mocha" 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches.
Place the "Autumn Splendor" just barely below the top of page 1, so you can see a border of cardstock on the top and to the left.
Cut your photo in a circle 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.
Place your photo to the left and middle of your page.
Place the journaling sticker from the "Season of Change" cardstock stickers under your picture you've cut into a circle.
Place the bracket sticker on your photo, to the left a little.
Place the ribbon slide sticker (also from the "Season of Change cardstock stickers) just under the journaling sticker, poking out a little (for dimension)
Rub a few of the acorn/leaf rubons to the bottom of your journaling sticker.
Add a row of 3 shiney buttons.
Page 2:
Cut a circle from Moxxie's "Foliage Frenzy" 4 inches x 4 inches and place it to the right of your page, barely below the top of your page so you can see a border at the top.
Cut your photo 3 1/2 x 4 inches and palce to the left of your page, making it go on top of your circle a bit.
Add scalloped cardstock under the photo for added dimension.
Place a photo corner sticker at the top right of your photo.Rub the words "goodbye summer" from the "season of change" on the left side of your photo going up (summer should be on the cardstock)
Rub the word "Fall" on your photo, to the right.
Place small letter stickers spelling "hello" right above fall.
Rub leaves just under the word Fall.
Page 3:
Cut a square from the "Splash of Spice" 4 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches and place it to the left of your page, just below the top.
Cut your photo 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches and place it to the right of your page.
Place red cardstock just barely under your photo.
Take the circle "Autumn Splendor" sticker and put on red cardstock, cutting around leaving a border of red.
Place the sticker to the bottom left of your page, overlapping your photo.
Under the sticker place ribbon (I used a scrap piece of denim) 5 inches long
Place orange and brown flowers (or leaves if you choose) just under the sticker, overlapping one another.
Put the sticker "changing colors" under the Autumn Splendor, on top of the flowers.
Place "scenic drive" right above ribbon.
Place "colors of autumn" sticker just under ribbon.

Back it with orange cardstock.
Cut a square of "autumn splendor" 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches and place it under your picture.

Place it just under the bottom half of your photo.

Autumn Splendor Card Set & Tin by Robyn















Autumn Splendor Gift Set Tin-
This is an altered tin with 4 greeting cards inside!

Materials Needed:
Moxxie Season of Change Foliage Frenzy Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Splash of Spice Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Autumn Splendor Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Mocha Paper
Moxxie Season of Change Rub Ons
Moxxie Season of Change Cardstock Stickers
Bazzill Hershey Cardstock
Bazzill Sherbet Cardstock
Making Memories Cute As A Button Flowers in Bloom
Bo Bunny Chocolate Bodacious Brads
American Crafts Greenhouse Emma Felt Flowers
Heidi Grace Pins
Brown VersaColor Pigment Ink Pad
Ribbon
CD sized Tin
Glue Dots
Corner Rounder
Mono Permanent Adhesive
Mono Permanent Glue
Paper Trimmer
Scissors
Bone Folder

Let’s Make Cards!
Okay, let’s get started making the 4 cards that go inside the tin!
Start by cutting 4 pieces of cardstock (2 Sherbet and 2 Hershey) 5 ¼ x 8 ½ .
Use a bone folder to score each piece down the middle. Fold the cards in half to make 4- 5 ¼ x 4 ¼ sized cards.

Use the corner rounder to round all 4 sides of the folded cards. Keep the cards folded together as you round each corner.

Next, use the paper trimmer to cut a 5 x 4 piece of patterned paper from the four patterned papers. You will end up with 4 differently patterned pieces.
Use the corner rounder to round each corner of these pieces.
Layer each piece of patterned paper on the front of a cardstock card.
Ink the edges of the cards with the sherbet cardstock with the Brown ink pad.
You may omit this step if you wish, but I used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges of each card.

Now you add your ribbon of you choice to the cards, by tying a bow around the front panel of the cards.
Next, I added cardstock stickers on top of the ribbon on the cards. On one card I cut a small strip of Sherbet cardstock and added a rub on for the sentiment.
I finished my cards by adding felt flowers, brads, flowered buttons, and stick pins to each.
Now Let’s Make the Tin!
Start with a CD sized tin like this.
Next, trace around the top of the tin on the reverse side of your chosen patterned paper.
Cut it out inside of the line you traced so it is a bit smaller than the top.

Apply glue dots to the top of the tin, then carefully position the patterned paper on top. Use scissors to trim away any paper that may be overlapping the edges of the tin.*I chose to sew around the edges of my paper here, but you don’t have to.
Cut 2-1/4 strips of patterned paper to cover the bottom edge of the tin. Use wet adhesive to attach it to the tin. You may need to trim the excess paper from the tin.

Now you add the ribbon to the tin top. Using only the top of the tin, turn it so you are working with the inside cover. Glue ribbon to the inside of the top. Let it dry.
After your ribbon is dry, turn the tin top over to finish embellishing it.

Tie your ribbon in a bow. I wanted to make my tin look like one of the cards inside, so I chose to add a cardstock sticker, flower buttons and a pin to the cover just as I did with one of the cards.
And there you have it! A beautiful gift set of gift cards!
