Four Seasons Mini Books – New Eileen Hull March 2024 Sizzix Dies!

Eileen Hull released some great new Sizzix designs at the beginning of March! (Check out the live Release Party here.) All month long the designers have been sharing the tutorials and more in depth looks at all the wonderful projects created for the release. Following is one of my projects; a Storage Box that holds four Mini Books:

Four Mini Books fit perfectly into the Storage Box!

Each little book is themed with a quote and art to match one of the seasons:

Here's a look at how it all came together:

1) all the parts needed to form the outer box:

I used Distress Paint to color the Sizzix Mat Board before cut all the parts out.

2) For the mini book covers, I embossed pieces of gel prints using the 3-D Lace Embossing Folder.

Inside of the covers:

3) Eileen has a Book Binding Die you can use to make folded spines to fit her Folio Journal Die and other larger journal of hers. It won't fit the Mini Book so I figured out my own measurements to cut and score a Mini Book sized version. You can find that template below if you want to try it. It accommodates five pages.

Folded binding template to fit Mini Book - 5 pages

After fixing the spine into the cover, you add the pages:

A piece of trim covers up the spine flap on the back side.
