Hi everyone! I’m back with my design team project for Eileen Hull. This month the US Team is collaborating with the Bearly Art and the UK Team is doing a collab with Graffix. If you would like to see the project I created earlier this year using Graffix you can find part one HERE and part two HERE.
Now, back to my current project. I will be sharing the process of how I created this folio journal over the next couple of blog posts. I used the Notebook Diecut as the base for the folio but with a twist and I used Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue to add decorative elements to the cover of the folio journal. Anyways, let’s get started!
The first thing I did was cut three pages from the Notebook Diecut. I scored each page in order: 2, 3 and 4 inches and folded.
I also had a scrap of orange-yellow floral cardstock that I scored to create another page. For each page I placed the Page Edges Thinlits with the multiple holes onto the scored line. I secured the diecut with a piece of washi tape on each end and run through the Diecut Machine.
I threaded a needle, sewed the pages together and knotted and tied off inside.
I love the fact that Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue has multiple sized tips so you have more control when applying to a project. It doesn’t wrinkle or clump, photo safe and it’s made in the USA.
Side note…I thought I had taken step out photos using the Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue on the cover putting the layers of cardstock together. But I didn’t realize until after I had the cover glued together that the SIM card in my camera was full. I was not happy. But I can “talk” you all through the process.
For the larger piece of cardstock and the strip of sunflower cardstock I added a dab of glue to the back of the strip of sunflowers and placed onto the larger piece of cardstock. Next I cut out a label from the Journal Hardware Diecut and added a dab of glue to the back placed onto a scrap piece of cardstock. I placed the multiple holes die from the Page Edges Thinlits on each glued piece and run through the Diecut Machine. With a needle and thread I sewed both together and glued to the cover.
I also added another scrap of cardstock to the cover before gluing layered flowers and a leaf sprig from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits. I dug into my stash of scraps and found a small circle punch that I glued to the center of the flower. The “little things” sentiment I selected from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers and added to the label along with two Gems to finish.
