Hurray, the Wrapped Journal Die from Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix is here! It should be available in your favorite stores and at Sizzix sometime this month. I am so excited, I just love this die!! It makes the cutest little book with a wrap-around cover. It's about the size of the Passport Journal,, BUT the cover wraps all the way around.
I used Sizzix Mat Board to make my journal covers, it seems to hold up well with Mixed Media applications. You can also use chipboard though.
I've recorded a video tutorial showing you how I made the cover for this journal and how to string the ealstic bands.

Inside, with the book opened up.
I used the Credit Card Sleeve & Tags Framelits die set to create this gift card holder. It cuts the perfect size sleeve to slide in a gift card or credit card.
Lots of pretty pages in the journal with tuck spots and pocket pages. I used Stamperia's Alchemy collection, you really have to see this collection in person to appreciate how beautiful it is!! I bought 1 collection pack, 'cause I wasn't sure if I would love it, oh yeah, upon receipt, I immediately order another pack!
Stop by my blog tomorrow for a link to a video flip through of this journal so that you can see all the inside pages and different dies from Eileen's newest die collection, Bookclub 2 that includes this fabulous Wrapped Journal die.

DeleteGorgeous project!! I can’t wait for mine to arrive and so pleased to hear about the passport die pages as I already have that one :) Will be popping over to look at your video too, Jane xx
ReplyDeleteAppreciate you stopping by Jane and thanks for the kind comments!
DeleteMaggi, I also asked this question on your YouTube video. I went back and forth several times but couldn't see what else you inserted for the magnets to cling to. I obviously missed something because no one else has asked that question.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't see your question on the video. In the video at about 4:07 you see the magnets on the left side. So for each place where you see a magnet, there are actually two magnets sandwiched together. When you remove the adhesive covering the magnet and press the book closed as I do at 4:17, one of the magnets sticks to the flap on the right side (the flap with the daisy cut-outs) and the other magnet remains on the inside of the front cover thus creating a closure. Hope that makes sense, if not I'll try to explain it further.
ReplyDeleteI just now saw your comment on YouTube, funny it was late showing up.
DeletePretty paper & Design
ReplyDeleteQuestion... What are the score line measurements ono the chipboard die cover?
I don't have that die but could score or cut and apply papers to look the same....thanks sakortan@gmail.com
