Present Album (Click image to enlarge) Amy Griffith, Fiskateer #1050 loves making mini books using her Fiskars Craft Hand Drill.  Her tip is to add a little bit of detail and dimension to the cover of your mini books by using foam dots. Required supplies: Fiskars Fingertip craft knife Fiskars Craft Hand Drill Fiskars spring action no5 microtip scissors Fiskars portable rotary trimmer Fiskars Tape runner and foam dots Heidi Grace "it's my party" paper, chipboard, stickers Heidi Grace "pink" chipboard glitter shape and ribbon Instructions 1. Cut all patterned papers into 5” by 7” pages paying close attention to the direction of the pattern. (For some patterns, you may only be able to get 2 pages).   2. Adhere one of the 5” by 7” pages made from Party Gifts paper to the canvas board cover. Select and adhere other papers to the inside and back covers and arrange the remaining pages as you wish for the inside of the book.   3. Measure in 1” from the top and 1” from the bottom of the canvas board cover and make a small mark close to the left edge as a guide. Using the craft hand drill, carefully drill through the two covers with the pages in between.   4. From scraps of the Party Gifts paper, cut out individual presents with the fingertip craft knife and adhere to the coordinating image on the cover page using foam dots. Continue to embellish the cover using stickers and chipboard shapes of your choice.   5. Add photos and embellishments to the inside pages as you please.   6. Secure the book with two metal rings and tie small pieces of Heidi Grace ribbon around the rings.     Find All of our Past Weekly Projects Right Here!   Gifts Layout and Thank You Card   Oceanside Project Holiday Greeting Cards   Sanctuary Cards Halloween Treat Tag   Birthday Crowns Trick or Treat   Travel Journal Punch Art Photo Collage   Thank You Accordion Card Thanksgiving Dinner Placecards   Peace Beach Boy   Butterfly Fun
