Eileen Hull Book Club 2 Release

Hi and welcome, today I have a post as part of the Eileen Hull DT and this month we are showcasing the fantastic Book Club 2 release.

Today I am showcasing the fabulous Wrap Around Journal Die. You can view the whole Book Club 2 Collection HERE.  The Wrap Around Journal Die is a Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die which means you can cut almost any material with this die, it's fantastic and so versatile. Those of you in the UK can pre order this die from Country View Crafts HERE. I also used the Journaling Words across the front of my Journal to add a further layer of interest.

Eileen sent me this fabric/leather esque type piece and to begin with I highlighted all the embossed design with Wax which worked perfectly to showcase the texture.

I also incorporated Eileen's Stitchy Flower & Leaf using both the flowers and leaf. I coloured the flower and leaf with Distress Inks and then added some wax around the edges of each. I also incorporated some of the hearts from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Journaling Cards, Hearts.

I machine stitched the covers and also added some vintage book pages to the inside cover and also added some watercolour pages which I tea stained.

I also added a shaker to the front of my journal for an added dimensional piece, adding some of the die cut hearts to the centre along with some sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Pop by Eileen's Blog to see some further inspiration from my fellow Design Team Members.

Eileen Hull Book Club 2 Release

Hi and welcome, today I have a post as part of the Eileen Hull DT and this month we are showcasing the fantastic Book Club 2 release.

This time around I thought I would showcase the fabulous Wrap Around Journal Die. You can view the whole Book Club 2 Collection HERE.  The Wrap Around Journal Die is a Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die which means you can cut almost any material with this die, it's fantastic and so versatile. Those of you in the UK can pre order this die from Country View Crafts HERE.

This journal is die cut from felt and I added pieces of moutboard behind the felt to make it more surdy. I then randomly machine stitched the card and the felt together.

I used a vintage doily around the spine and then machine stitched and also hand stiched some pearls into place, leaving some of the threads loose for added texture.

I included a zip behind my fractured doll, wrapping her in red twine to coordinate with my pops of red in the fabric and flowers. I printed off the wording curious and added to my doll. I also included some ruler ribbon for added interest.

I added watercolour paper to the inside of my journal and the inside covers are covered with vintage ephemera.

The vintage rent card I have added to the inside cover really gives another vintage touch to my piece.

I love the Floral Cutouts Movers and Shapers die and here I added some red card behind to coordinate with the pops of red on my cover.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I will be back with another showcase of Eileen's fabulous release soon.
