Time for a closer look at the Mini Book Die this week. This die is fantastic as you can create a Mini Book with one pass through your die cutting machine, it's so simple.
I covered a piece of Matboard with a piece of 49&Market paper and cut out the journal.
I spotted the word "Believe" and roughly cut it out from the paper. Then I carefully positioned it on the die to cut out the strip for the spine with the word showing prominently.
The inner covers are stamped using one of Eileens flower stamps from the Wonderful World of Flowers set using Evergreen Bough Distress Ink before brushing the ink over the top to blend the colours out.
The pages were cut by folding the papers in half and carefully placing them on the die so the spine didn't get cut through. The pages were then hand stitched into a signature and glued into the spine of the book. Of course I had to include a little musline for a shabby edge. The sentiment on the front of the journal is from the 49&Market paper pack, and fitted perfectly on the die cut label.
Happy Crafting,
