Hello! I am excited to share this project with you today….we are making Candy Books from cardstock! Remember those lifesaver books that made an appearance this time of year? Well, that’s kinda the idea with this project.
I have a video with ALL the details of how to make this, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:
For the front cover I created a book jacket with silver vellum (I love this stuff!). I heat embossed the stamp from “All I Want for Christmas” on the vellum and I really love how it turned out.
For the inside, I stamped in red and green using the Tough Nut to Crack stamp set.
On the spine, I added some details with stamps and glitter tape. I love the font of the scripty “Jingle all the way.”
For the back of the book, I wanted some interesting texture, so I used the Damask stamp to clear heat emboss a design.
I have a few other ideas for the book front cover, too. You could easily change out this book jacket cover for a stenciled front cover. Here’s my favorites from the newest Maker Forte release:
I hope you enjoyed these projects today…these are definitely favorites of mine!
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I’ll be back soon with more projects and cards!
