Eileen Hull Floral Silhouettes Notebook Journal Tutorial

Did you hear the news and catch the big release? Eileen Hull introduced a new die collection designed just for Scrapbook.com! You will find lots of ways to use these dies whether you like making cards, journals or home decor. Each die coordinates with the set but also stands alone, giving you good value! 

One of the projects I made is a mixed media notebook journal using the Card Caddy Die for the base and the Floral Silhouettes and Everyday Tags & Labels Die Sets for the embellishing.

I used the gorgeous 49 and Market Rouge Collection
of papers and rub-ons.

Sticky note pad in the back

Now for the cover tutorial!

Step 1 - I die cut floral strips out of cardstock and adhered them in rows to another piece of cardstock. I used the panel die from the Starlit Village & Card Panel Die Set to trim out the journal front panel. (With a bit of an inset, it fits just perfectly onto the base cut with the Card Caddy Die.)

Step 2 - I glued the floral panel onto the journal cover and sealed all the surfaces with a coat of Collage Medium Matte. (In preparation for the next step!)

Step 3 - The fun part! Distress Crayons don't blend well on raw, non-coated paper which is why I sealed all the surfaces with the Distress Medium Matte. I could blend away! Once the crayons dry, they become permanent.

Fingers make the best tools for blending!

Step 4 - I punched holes in the spine to allow for stringing in elastic to hold the signatures.
