My Family Book
Artist:

Estimated Time:

Difficulty:
Intermediate
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Run the large back cover and the two smaller covers through the Xyron Creatopia with Fabric Refillz cartrdige. Remove the pieces from the paper and apply the fabric to the adhesive. I laid the fabric out on the table in front of me and centered the covers over each piece. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles in the fabric and use scissors to trim the excess fabric from the edges.
- Use the Xyron Creatopia Cutz and Cutz Cartridges to cut decorative mats. Use the Xyron Creatopia Border Patternz to emboss patterns into your cardstock.
- Run all the papers and cardstock through the Xyron Creatopia with the right sides facing up and apply to the inside of all the covers and the two pages. Use a blade to trim off any overhang then ink the edges of the fabric and the papers with the chalk ink or the ink and sponge.
- Punch holes in all the cover pieces and the pages. I set my blue Bind-It-All to “C” and punched one end of the chipboard, then flipped it around and punched from the other end. The holes lined up in the middle. I don’t own the pink machine, so you may want to test the alignment on that machine by punching holes in a spare piece of 6x6’ paper.
- Line up the covers and pages. Put the binding through all the punched holes and use the Bind-It-All to close the binding.
- Embellish the front cover of the book and add the knotted ribbons to the bindings. To make the ribbon flower on the front cover you will need a 12” piece of ribbon and the needle and thread. Run a stitch along one side of the ribbon and pull to gather. Tie the thread in a knot and arrange the ribbon so that the rough ends are hidden. Attach to the book using adhesive dots and add a button for the center.
- Tips: Ink the edges of any cardstock pieces before attaching. Tie thread or ribbon through the holes of chipboard pieces and buttons. Layer more than one embellishment (stickers and flowers, etc.) to add interest. Group embellishments in odd numbers. Pull inspiration for your embellishments from the papers and fabric. I used a lot of hearts because they are repeated a lot on the fabric on the covers.

Halloween Chandelier
Artist:
Sandy Clements
Estimated Time:

Difficulty:
Intermediate-Difficult
Step-by-Step Instructions
- If using the PDF file, enlarge pattern and print. If using the .FS file, In Create and Cut, you can enlarge Chandelier pattern to fit the size of foam core board. Print using the “Tile” option in your print dialog box so that it will print out then entire design on several sheets of paper. Place printed pages through the Creatopia using repositionable adhesive cartridge. Adhere the printed pages to the foam core board.
- Using a craft Knife cut out each chandelier piece and 12 circles and candle holders. Cover each piece with a light coat of glitter.
- Assemble the main chandelier pieces by sliding them together. Take each Styrofoam ball and press into the top and bottom of the chandelier. Press firmly so the Styrofoam ball forms to the chandelier pieces.
- Punch a hole into each side of “chandelier-a” then place a key ring through each hole and hang with chain
- Cut 12 – one inch x 12” strips using the Xyron Creatopia Cutz cartridges with the scallop cut on one side and the straight cut on the other.
- Place each strip through the Xyron Creatopia Border Patternz star cartridge.
- Place strips through the Xyron Creatopia with permanent adhesive. Wrap each strip around each cut circle. Place the 12 wrapped circles on the 12 candleholder pieces. Place each piece on Chandelier. If pieces are wobbly adhere with hot glue.
- Using the Xyron Creatopia Cutz and the straight blade cut twelve 4 - 1/2” x 6” strips for candles and twelve 1” x 6” strips for candle accents. Cut twelve ¼” x 12” strips. Place all strips through the Creatopia with permanent adhesive cartridge.
- Using the 1” circle punch make 12 circles. Fold the smallest strips in half and adhere the fold to the back of each circle. Roll the 4 - 1/2” strips around the circle to form a candle (with the thin strips adhering to the inside of the candle. Use the 1” strips to around each candle. Hot glue each candle to the chandelier as shown. Attach a small piece of string to the top of each candle to form a wick.
- Place leftover paper scraps through the Xyron Creatopia with permanent adhesive cartridge. Tear the paper into scraps and cover each styrofoam ball with paper. Use glitter glue to cover the entire surface of the ball. When dry, hot glue each ball to the top and bottom of the chandelier.
- Place all large embellishments through the Xyron Creatopia, it will allow up to 1/2" thick. Place embellishments on chandelier. Add strings of beads and jewels as shown. Two large jewels can be sandwiched between the string or wire to form hanging embellishments.
- You can eliminate steps 8 through 9 by adding real candles – small votive candles would work great. Instead of hanging beads around the chandelier hang Halloween lights around it. Note: Some types of foam core board can warp. In the event that it does, after pieces are dry, but before assembling, place under a heavy box to flatten. Use additional hot glue to hold it together.
