Lattice Card Caddy Book

 

This was such an easy and fun journal to create using Eileen's Card Caddy Die as the base for the journal.

I stencilled texture paste though the lattice stencil and once it was dry a painted the entire cover with white gesso. Once dry I added colour using a couple of Inktense Blocks by lightly rubbing over the texture paste in different directions, spritzing with water and letting dry before repeating that process until the colour built up.

I die cut the flowers and leaves from a light weight water colour card, then added colour from the same two Inktense Blocks.

Once they were completely dry I then doodled over the top of the flowers and leaves with a Black Micron pen.

I added Gold Pen around all of the edges of the journal, the book plate and lightly across the raised texture of the latticework.

I found a die cut Book Plate left over from another project which was perfect for the cover of the journal.

I chose to add more flowers to the spine of the journal as thats the part you see the most of once it's on a shelf.

The inside covers are lined with a piece of watercolour paper that I used to clean my stencils on, I added a couple of leaves over the tops with ink, this gives a look of hand made paper. The block inside the journal is hand stitched 120gsm paper which is great for holding ink and doodling on.

Eileen Hull/Sizzix June Release Party

 

Eileen's new releases for June are now available, here's what Eileen has to say about them........

Introducing my June Sizzix release! This collection combines three classic Eileen Hull Sizzix Scoreboards dies and two new designs- a four layer stencil and coordinating Thinlits that cuts a portion of the stencil! The three Scoreboards dies are the Treasure Box, Stacking Drawer and Notebook. The fun thing about this set is that they work together but also stand alone. The Treasure Box measures 3 1/4” x 5 1/4” x 4” and holds index cards, two stacks of ATC’s, a whole row of journaling cards and anything else you care to add. The Stacking Drawer fits a set of three drawers perfectly inside the Treasure Box to create a great storage solution for desk supplies, hair accessories, small collections, jewelry and much more. It also makes a great little gift box for something special! The Notebook is a favorite because of how quick and easy it is to create. One pass through the Big Shot and you have a book cover! It measures 5” x 3 1/2” x 3/4”. Cover with paper, fabric, metal or cut from leather. So many ways to use this. The Watercolour Florals & Lattice stencil is based on a watercolor I did. There are three stencil layers to give dimension and then a fourth layer versatile lattice design that can also be used to create a plaid pattern! Painterly Blooms & Background is a die that perfectly die cuts the flowers you have just stenciled so no fussy cutting needed plus there are extra flower shapes so you can layer them for dimensional florals. We hope you will watch our release party on June 4 at noon Eastern to see lots of samples and alternate ideas for ways to use this die! There will be a GIVEAWAY! Find the die bundles here in Eileen’s Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1736443067/eileen-hull-sizzix-june-bundle-pre-order.

 

I loved these dies the first time around and I still love them today! I've created a Treasure Box with Stacking Drawers inside. The lid is covered in the new Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits and gorgeous papers from 49&Market Adoptions Plum Grove Paper Collection. I selected areas of the patterned paper to die cut and I love the effect it gives as the petals and leaves have multiple colours on them, not just one blocked colour.

And did I mention we are having a blog hop? You can find all the links below, just follow the hop, check out the Inspiration Teams blogs and love them a comment.
