I'm the worst when it comes to remembering people's birthdays. I wanted something that I could keep the special dates (birthdays, anniversaries...) organized, and decided to put together a book. I dedicated one page for each month of the year, and bound them together with my new machine, the Cinch. This was my first coil-bound project. I put in a lot of love into this project, and paid attention to detail and placement of the cuts on each page. There's tons of cute Mary's SVGs and I wanted to showcase them all!

Design Tips
Thienly - SVGCuts Design Team Artist
- I focused on finding a patterned cardstock that would represent that month, and found corresponding colored cardstock to match it.
- I inked the edges to give depth - even though I used same colors for the cut and the background, inking the edges makes the cuts stand out. Brown and silver ink was used.
- I gave further depth by using pop-dots on some cuts.
- Embossing also adds interest to the cuts. I used 6 embossing folders for this project.
- Adding additional embellishments makes the page more exciting - stamps, rhinestones, stickles, twines, pearls, metallic dots, and ribbons.
A time consuming project, but well worth it - and with this, hopefully, I can be more organized!
