Project designed by Ana Araujo.

Materials:

Limited Edition rubber stamps:
- triangle, circle or house book stamp
black dye-based ink pad
water-based markers
20 lb. paper any color
stylus
6" ruler
glue stick
scissors
stiff cardboard
foam place mat
color copies of photos reduced 20 to 30 percent

Steps:

Note: The three books are all done in a similar fashion. The key is to line the ruler with the broken dotted lines and score with a stylus. The stamps are two-sided with the cover on one side and the inside pages on the other side.

  1. Stamp the cover on paper.
  2. Stamp the inside pages two to four times on either color copies of photos or paper.
  3. Using a stylus, line up the ruler along the broken lines on the cover and score. Repeat the scoring for the inside pages too.
  4. Cut out cover and all inside pages. Turn over cover and fold in the scored flaps.
  5. Using the cover template, trace two on stiff cardboard and cut out.
  6. Glue the cardboard to the inside of the cover, lining it up with the folded flaps. Glue the flaps over the cardboard. Repeat for the other side.
  7. Glue down two small square flaps in the center of the binding.
  8. Set aside the cover.
  9. To make the inside pages, fold the pages in half and glue back to back. Each of the three books has a different-shaped page, but the page construction is basically the same.
Note: Each book stamp comes with a set of instructions. Each one has something unique due to the variation in the shapes.
