There are many ways you can add pages to Eileen's newest Handbound Journal. I went with traditional signatures and then sewed them onto the spine. Watch my video to see how I did it.
The May Sizzix Release is here! The Handbound Journal is a ScoreBoards XL die designed to cut and score thick materials like matboard, leather, and felt. It includes built-in score lines, holes, a spine piece, and large labels—no measuring needed! At 6" x 5", you can customize the book’s thickness and choose hand or quick binding, all with a pretty scalloped edge. One of the most versatile designs yet.
The Bigz Journal Hardware Die offers latches, hinges, and pen loops, perfectly sized to coordinate with the journal, and cuts a variety of materials.
The Colour Wheel Stencil is a three-layer stencil that creates a continuous color wheel—use traditional ROYGBIV or customize your palette. Pair it with the Rainbow Wheel Die, which cuts the framework, segmented circle, and arrows for a functional color wheel.
The Swatch Card Stamp Set includes a round palette, rectangular and pie-shaped swatch cards, plus color-themed phrases perfect for cards or journals.
UFO's? Well, in the craft world UFO's are UnFinished Objects, i.e. projects of any kind! In the spirit of our organizing campaign this year, Eileen Hull's creative team is also urging you to finish those left behind things that you just never got around to finishing.
If you're one in a million and don't have any unfinished projects lying about (not sure I believe you!) then pull out an old project and play it again. Make another or change the one you made and didn't like. You know what, it doesn't matter, just do something crafty, you won't regret it!
Now I'm not going to lie and say I don't have any unfinished projects but I don't know where they are. 😁 So, I'm doing a rerun. I love this little notepad and keep it beside me all the time because I am forever looking for a sticky note.
I spent Thanksgiving in Antarctica aboard an expedition ship and all I can say is WOW!! I have never been so awestruck in my life. Antarctica is ethereal, defies the imagination; it was truly the trip of a lifetime!
So, Eileen Hull's creative team is celebrating spring this month and I just had to be "different". 😄 I wanted to show you some ways that you can use Eileen's products on layouts. I tend to use her designs when making mini albums and such, but really, they are great to use with so many things.
We had lovely spring weather while there, the sun was out and the temps hovered around freezing. (We had some snow too!)
I made the title using Eileen's Alphanumeric dies and mounted them on a scrap of paper. Above the title I placed a die-cut bird, flower, and floral cutout from the Floral Pockets set to add some spring elements!
I also used a stencil from the Plate and Pattern set to add the concentric circles. That is a fun set with circles and flower details.
I love to make tags. I love to drink wine. So of course they go together, right? Now, if you didn't think so, have a look!
It's time to make Valentine's cards! I used dies and an embossing folder from Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix latest release along with Graphic 45's Curiouser & Curiouser paper collection.
The background is embossed black cardstock with luster wax applied to highlight the embossing.
Here's a quick video showing you my processes.
There's a flip page on the front with a pocket inside where you can tuck a decadent piece of Ghirardelli chocolate or a love note!
Inside you can write a personal note.
