Painterly Blooms Notebook with Eileen Hull – The Tutorial!

Hello, did you catch the newest Sizzix release from Eileen Hull at the beginning of June? Check back to my post here for the details. The Inspiration Team designers have been sharing tutorials for their fab projects all month. This week I have the tutorial for my Painterly Blooms Notebook for you.

Let's see some how-to!

Step 1 – I collaged torn up pieces of deli paper Gel Press prints onto the front of the Mat Board for the cover. 

Step 2 – I got to try out the new Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool in conjunction with Eileen's new layered stencil set, Watercolor Flowers & Lattice. It is handy! The stencils "lock in" and stay put. I started off using the Lattice stencil with embossing ink on the cover.

The embossing ink was covered with Rustic Wilderness Distress Glaze and heat embossed.

Step 3 – I decorated the signature covers with stenciled flowers from the Watercolor Flowers & Lattice set. Again the Tool made it easy to line up the layers. I used stencil brushes to make it easier to add color details.

I also cut out stenciled flowers using the coordinating Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die Set to embellish the cover.

The signatures were ready made little notebooks I had in my
stash that I covered with the decorated papers I made.

Step 4 – Using a mini hole punch, I punched holes in the spine of the cover so I could thread skinny elastic through. The elastic holds the signatures in place.

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