Country Club Happy Birthday Book

Today’s project, a birthday book, is an example of a non-golf specific project made with the Country Club Suite. I made the book using the Clubhouse stamp set, Golf Club Dies, Absolutely Argyle 3D embossing folder, and Country Club Designer Series Paper.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Poppy Parade card stock (CS) cut to 8-3/4″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″ and 4-1/2″, for the cover
• CS cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″ (one each of Whisper White Thick, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Garden Green, and Basic Black) for pages
• Country Club Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″ (one piece of each non-golf-specific pattern) for pages
• Crushed Curry CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
• Basic Black CS cut to 11″ x 3-1/2″, and scored at 4-3/4″, 5″, 9-3/4″, and 10″ for the belly band
• DSP layer cut to 4-5/8″ x 3-3/8″
• CS cut to 3-1/2” x 3-1/2″ (two each of Whisper White Thick, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry, Poppy Parade, Garden Green, and Basic Black) for tabbed inserts

Stamped with the Clubhouse stamp set:

• sentiment in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS

Cut using the Golf Club Dies:

• sentiment
• 4 pieces from scraps of each color of CS using the crest shape die

Embossed using the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder:

• Crushed Curry CS layer

Assembled the book:

• burnished all the folds in the CS and DSP pieces with a Bone Folder
• one side of a CS page glued onto one side of a DSP page, along the fold, top and bottom (being careful not to glue along the outer edge, because this will make a pocket)
• remaining pages glued together the same way, alternating CS and DSP, until they are all glued together in a book (each double-thickness page should have a pocket)
• first and last pages glued the same way inside the Poppy Parade CS cover, creating more pockets
• tabs on CS inserts created by gluing 2 die cut crests together, with the insert between them, then the inserts stuck inside the pockets
• Basic Black CS belly band glued onto the Poppy Parade CS cover on the back, spine, and front
• embossed Crushed Curry CS layer glued onto the front of the Poppy Parade CS cover, covering the end of the Basic Black belly band
• thin velcro fastener applied onto the inside of the belly band and the embossed Crushed Curry CS layer
• DSP layer glued onto the front of the belly band
• sentiment adhered onto the DSP layer using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
