Artbooking Handbook notes:
1.
The coordinating stamp set images for Artbooking
must be cut using the “real dial size” button ON. It is a good idea to write with permanent
marker on the stamp sets envelopes coordinating with Artbooking.
2.
Review “General Tips for Cricut cuts &
Cricut usage” section for more ideas.
3.
The suggested dial size for each mini book or
scrapbook page can be mixed & matched between projects. They are organized in page pairs as shown in
the handbook for simplicity of projects.
Pages 38-57, buttons 1-20 are designated for mini books. Look closer at the sizing and you will see
they can be adjusted to mix & match compatibility. Some elements you may have to check in Cricut
Craft room, or experiment with real dial size to see height & width of
elements.
4.
Pages 58-87, buttons 21-50 are designated for
12x12” scrapbook pages. ALL the
scrapbook page elements can be mixed & matched to suit your preference
without needing to change the dial size.
That’s over 41209 creative possibilities if you mix in the mini-book selections! Look outside the suggested idea book colour
schemes and themes.
5.
If you change the suggested dial size for your
project, all elements will size proportionally to the selected size.
6.
“ General Tips for Cricut cartridge handbooks #6.” This will show you the direction overlays and
other images will cut on your mat.
7.
Borders trick: Change your Cricut mat size to a
12x24” mat, align paper down ½” from starting edge (leave ½” gap of sticky on
the mat), size your image to 12.25” to get a 12” border. CTMH has a video showcasing how to do this.
8.
Overlays can have custom colour layers if you
use Cricut Design Studio, Gypsy, or manually place coloured paper pieces in the
openings. They can be trimmed to fit
across 2 pages. Negative pieces can be
re-pieced to create new background detail pieces. They can be sized to 4-6” for card details
using Real dial size button ON.
9.
Many of the square overlays, Real dial size ON,
cut at 6” will fit CTMH Designed Decor Flipstand Item #Z1896 to make custom
calendars, kids lists, daily job lists, token keeper, potty-mouth tracker, games like tick-tac-toe, matching, Bingo etc...
10.
Any square elements: cut multiples; turn 90 degrees into diamonds
for background interest using monochromatic, patchwork, or contrasting colours.
11.
Use “real dial size” ON to mix & match
alphabet upper & lower case to try an eclectic look or ransom letter style,
all the letters will be the same height.
Artbooking Button ideas:
Mix & Match mini book cheat
sheet:
Not all the binding holes will line up mix & matching, so
you may have to do creative covering/re-punching holes to bind your project. You can extend pages with washi tape hinges,
paper hinges, and symmetrical shape elements folded in half as hinges (see General Tips for Cricut cuts & Cricut
usage #28). These books were designed
with a side “gutter” allowance for binding purposes. Books can be bound with binder rings,
zap-straps, 2-piece office supply fasteners commonly used for file folders,
nuts & bolts, ribbon, yarn, bakers twine, embroidery floss... Put a dot of Liquid glass (#Z679) on the tip
of soft thread to give it stiffness for easier threading (no needle
needed). Remember not to cinch too
tightly when binding your book or the pages will not turn easily. Flip flaps (Item numbers Z1747, Z1726, Z1325,
Z4114) and techniques outlined in the CTMH book “Magic” item #9040, will offer
you even MORE creative possibilities for your mini-book projects.
