Evening Everyone,
I've managed to finish the rest of the Notebooks that I started last week in class using the Eileen Hull Wrapped Notebook die.
This one was made using a couple of layers of kraftcard and a woodgrain embossing folder and then embellished with Tim Holtz diecut elements.
This one was made in the same way and then I added a die cut of trees and deer that I found in my bits box.
I added plenty of acrylic paints and a bit of gilding wax.
This one is made from mount board and more acrylic paint. I do find the kraftcard easier to work with since I found that the mount board seems to crack along the folds...…..unless I'm doing something wrong that is.
I'm on a mission to use up bits and pieces that I have already cut out, so this is a diecut peacock using a freebie off a magazine.
I filled my books with card or paper pages cut out using the Eileen Hull Passport die.
This time I have used some threads to attach my pages and hold my books closed.
Its actually wool although it looks and feels far more like thin ribbon.
I think perhaps I might add a few beads to the ties, if I can find any with a big enough hole in them that is.
Of course I couldn't throw anything away so I made a card out of the stencil that I created for my first book and a few more die cut leaves and flowers. This includes the ones that I cut out of foam and used to stamp on the book pages.
I have really enjoyed making these, so I'm not sure how good I will be at giving them away :O)
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Crafting and Hugs
