Eileen Hull Designs Pocket Notebook Blog Hop!

Hi everyone and welcome. Today is the official launch day for Eileen Hull's latest die - the Pocket Notebook - and to celebrate a whole heap of extremely talented creatives have put their own spin on it for a very special Release Party!!! Eileen’s Inspiration and Education teams have combined to show us their amazing Pocket Notebook ideas. Please follow the Blog Hop to see all of the fabulous projects, techniques and videos (more details at the end of this post).

 That's just a taste of what can be created with this new die, now here's what the Pocket Notebook looks like - you get all of the pieces you need to make an entire book- the cover, pages, latch and pen loop! The Pocket Notebook measures 6 3/4” x 4 1/2” with a spine that can adjust from of 3/8” to almost 2”! String it with elastic, hemp, ribbon or twine, or even bind it. So many option for this fun die!

 I decided to create a Christmas themed Notebook using some of the Kaisercraft Frosted Collection.

 I love this die as Eileen has done all the measuring for you, including the inserts! I lined four sheets folded paper up along the line of the book cover, so the signatures are all the same size.

 Then using a waxed linen thread I did a basic stitch to hold the pages together.

 I find it easier to use household pegs to keep the pages together as I stitch them

 After cutting the covers from Matt Board, adhering them together, I cover them with a gorgeous paper with Santa on.I strung all of holes available on the die with elastic, as I needed space for five signatures.

 I used lace and some of the coordinating Collectables to decorate the front cover.

 And of course I don't need an excuse for a little bling, and just look at the shine on the Golden Rod Molten Dimensions Powder.

 I carefully added the powders using the Clear Ink from Eileen's Colorbox Blends2 collection.

 Unfortunately as this was an afterthought, when I heated the powders the glue under the paper moved slightly, and there are a few wrinkles (bit like me) but I quite like that, as it makes the Notebook a little shabby.

 I finished off by adding a little White Gold Gilding Wax from Cadence.

That's it for my project - now back to the Release Party and that Blog Hop I mentioned at the top of this post.

Please follow the Blog Hop to see all of the fabulous projects, techniques and videos!

House Ornament from Eileen Hull

My head is buzzing with idea's using Eileen Hull's new House Ornament Die. I covered the mount board with gorgeous papers from Mintay by Korola called dear diary. Then die cut and made up the house.

The house is made up from two die cuts, so simple.

I added texture with Prima's Graphite paste and lots of fussy cut elements from the paper pack.

I added a little white gesso with the dry brush technique, to lighten any area's that wear too dark.

Really love how the house turned out, the texture is fab.

Gift Card Folder and Label #2 for Eileen Hull Designs

I absolutely love the new Gift Card and Folder #2 Die, and can see so many uses for it, and it's fabulous for anyone who loves making Junk Journals.

I've used these beautiful papers from Mintay by Karola. The design is called dear diary and has lots of elements to snip out and use on your projects.

I've inked around the edges with Flagstone from Eileen's range of Color Box Blends just to add a little shabby to the project, and finished off with the word Love from the Journaling Words Die set.
