Hi everyone, hope you managed to catch the launch party on Eileen Hull’s facebook group yesterday – if not it’s worth checking out.
I’m back today with the rest of the projects I made with her new Chapter 2 release. First project is this sea themed Card Case. I used papers from Stamperia to create this kind of steam punk/ocean themed case with lots of texture.
I covered some Sizzix mat board with the papers, and covered with a clear varnish. I dry brushed some metallic paint over the cover in places, and added some textured embossing powder to give a rusty/patina look. I added the pocket on one side, and added some cards cut with the journaling die set as well as some tags.
On the other side, I added a little notebook – also covered with some of the papers.
I created a fastening with Sizzix Texture roll in the tan colour. I used some magnets from Carnation Crafts to hold the fastening in place.
For my next project I created another Card Case – this time a more simple design where I chopped off the folding part so it’s more of a little notebook/journal than a case.
I covered the mat board with Sizzix Texture roll in white, then took another piece of texture roll and embossed it with the Tim Holtz Mosaic embossing folder. I used Oxide sprays and Foundry wax and gold acrylic paint to give it some texture.
For the inside, I made some envelopes with the Journaling card, Envelope & Window die set, and attached them to the inside with the Bookbinding and Label die set that came out last year.
Finally for today, a couple of cards showing the fabulous Mini Slimline & Tickets die set. So many different ways to use these, so I’m looking forward to making more cards with them.
That’s it for today. Make sure you check out Eileen Hull’s blog and Facebook group to see all the inspiration there – her DT really have come up with some amazing projects.
