New Junk Journal Created with Eileen Hull's New Large Journal Die

 

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/10/new-junk-journal-created-with-eileen.html

Well o my goodness we are in October the leaves are changing colour rapidly and the temperature is starting to drop.

I'm keeping warm in my workroom creating new journals using Eileen Hull's new Large Journal Die. It's an A4 Bigz Die so you will need a larger cutting machine for this one. I use my trusty Big Shot Plus for mine.

There are so many possibilities of substrates to use, as the Bigz Dies cut through thicker materials like Matboard, Leather and thick fabrics.

So grab a cuppa and you can have a closer look at my Vintage Junk Journal HERE on my YouTube Channel.

Happy Crafting.

Eileen Hull Challenge - Inspired by Nature using a Non Journal Die

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

I really enjoyed making my Gardeners Journal and loved the challenge of creating a Nature themed journal from a non journal die.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

I used a mixture of Eileens new stamp sets and a selection of paper downloaded from various companies, and odd sheets left over from previous journals.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

 I created my journal using Eileen's Gift Box Die, I love the scalloped lid and it makes such a pretty, decorative edge for the book cover.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

This is the die used to create the Gift Box as intended. And below are the die cut pieces needed to create a mini journal.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

First of all I cut out all of the pices I needed, trimmed the edges, so I had a scored line on one side only and also cut out a 1" strip the height of the journal.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

I butted up the two scored sides together and adhered the 1" strip over the top of them for support.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

Next I layered up the scalloped edges and glued them to the outer edge of the front and back cover.

https://elizabethr-thecraftyrobin.blogspot.com/2021/09/eileen-hull-challenge-inspired-by.html

To strengthen the spine even more I then glued a piece of muslin the entire way around and left it to dry completely before adding decoration to the cover.

You can take a closer peep at the inside of the journal over on my YouTube channel HERE.  Aplogies as I had to add music to the video to drown out  the noise of workmen digging the road up!!

Happy Crafting,
