Eileen Hull Chapter 2 – Sizzix Card Case Tutorial

Hello there Eileen Hull fans! Have you been enjoying all the project tutorials for Eileen's new Chapter 2 Die collection? We started off the month with the Release Party and Blog Hop. If you missed those, I highly recommend going back to check them out. One of the projects I shared can be seen here. I also created a second Card Case Die project that we'll take a closer look at today!

The die also has parts you can cut out to use as closures (or buttons!)

Here's a look at all the new Chapter 2 dies from Eileen:

The Card Case Die makes a book that opens up with side flaps. You can also add a pocket piece to hold cards, notebooks or in this case, a mini accordion album.

I made a little notebook to fit in the second pocket.

The pages of the accordion album were cut with one of the parts of the Journaling Card, Envelope & Window Die Set.

I made several strips of collaged 'stamps' to use throughout the project. The Snail Mail and new Mini-Slimline & Tickets Die Sets are perfect to have in your toolbox for making collage fodder for your makes.

Here's a bit of a look at the making of this:

1) Parts for the Card Case. You can adjust how thick you make it by trimming parts off of the center spine. You could even chop off the fold over flaps if you just want a 'regular' journal cover. The pocket pieces can be added or not (or used with other dies!) As you can see, lots of possibilities.

Halves of the cover glued together and pocket parts in place.

2) Outside of the cover – decorated with Slimline Tickets stamp sheets.

3) Pages collaged with stamps and pieces from the Idea-ology Organic Layers ephemera pack.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.
