Wish you Were Here Mini Book
Project #1823

Love to share your memories? This Wish you Were Here Mini Book is just the right size display anywhere, and it's simple to create - just follow the directions below using your eclips Machine and Vacation Cartridge.

Artist: Beth Reames, Sizzix

Themes: Seasons, Vacation & Travel

Other Supplies: Cardstock, Patterned Paper, Button, Ink, Pen, Ribbon

Use the eclips to cut the following paper pieces for this project using the Vacation Cartridge. For all cutting, I used Speed: 4, Pressure: 4.

Luggage Tag:
Size: 7"
Press "Actual"
Cut.

Phrase, Wish You Were Here:
Size: 2.5"
Press "Mirror"
Cut.

Cutting Note: when cutting out of self-adhesive paper, the adhesive side of the paper will not stick to the cutting mat and needs to be cut "right side down," in which case the image needs to be "mirrored" before cutting.

Hawaiian Shirt Flower:
Select "Pieces"
Highlight the Flower only
Size: 1"
Press "Actual"
Cut.

When cutting is finished, assembled as follows:
Assemble Luggage Tag and ink edges. Adhere photograph to Tag insert and slide into Tag. Adhere word to the top of Luggage Tag. Add pen detail around photograph opening. Adhere Flower and button to Tag as shown. Repeat this process with a variety of patterned papers and images to create a small book. Attach finished Tags with a small metal ring and embellish with ribbon.
