Adhere the design paper cuts to the book pages. Taking the Pocket dies and the white cardstock cut enough for the pages wanted. Ink the borders with the green ink. When adhering in place, apply clear drying glue only to the sides and bottom edge so you will get a pocket.  Use this same method when adhering the bird in place so you get a pocket to slip a tag behind the bird.

Taking the design paper, white cardstock and the tag die, cut enough so you have two tags for each pocket made.

The shield die is used for the matting and the inner de is used for the photos. The picture tag plate is placed for the journaling in the mini book. Adhere the ½ pearls to each side of the plate.

To decorate the book front, take the white cardstock and the inner lace cage die. Die cut 1x. Bring color to this using the green ink and inking tool. Apply clear drying glue using the hydra sponge. Dip or sprinkle glitter over this and leave to dry. When dry, adhere to the book front. Die cut a heart from the Eyelet heart die set that fits with the wisteria heart stamps. Color this with the Pale fig and Crushed velvet inks. Adhere to the cage front. Make the wisteria hearts, apply the glue to the wisteria flowers then dip into the glitter. When this is dry adhere  to the heart on the book front.
