DIY - Birthday Book- Gift/Craft Project

I had made one of these "Birthday Books" as a gift for an old friend and posted a photo in a craft fair group I am in and had an overwhelming response from members wanting a tutorial...so here we go....

I forgot to mention also that this book and 12 cards with envelopes fit inside our Paper Pumpkin boxes nicely.

I added the silver foil and Berry Burst on the spine after the video and also finished the inside too or the video would have been 2 hours long.
