Eileen Hull & Grafix Arts Collaboration – Let's Go to the Zoo!

For February, Eileen Hull’s Creative Team is doing an exciting collaboration with the company Grafix Arts! We’ve been using an assortment of their speciality plastic films and sheets in our Journal projects and the inspiration has been fabulous. Grafix products are widely available in the USA, UK and Europe so we hope you will get some ideas as to how these products can be used. 

Here are the Grafix products I've used in my journal.

I had a lot of fun learning about Grafix products and experimenting (check out their informative YouTube channel!) I created a colorful journal featuring zoo photos from past family trips. The "Sassy" collection of Dura-Lar Prints went perfectly with the theme.

For the cover, I overlaid the collage background with a piece of the leopard spotted Sassy Dura-Lar that I foiled.

To hold the pages, I cut apart this 6-ring binder I found on amazon. The metal spine fits perfectly into the Journal Die cover. I cut off the clear plastic cover and glued the spine into my cover. I also wrapped cord around the metal piece and through holes in the mat board cover for extra security.

I used my computer to created the title & then printed
it out on the Computer Grafix Rainbow Film.

Each page is a combination of collage elements from patterned paper, an old children's picture book, die cuts, stenciling and stamping.

Elephant photo is printed on the Rainbow Film. Nice!

You can cut pieces out of the Dura-Lar Prints sheets to apply them to your projects. I foiled this piece in teal and then adhered it with Grafix Double Tack Mounting Film. It gives you a very clean look.

The giraffe photo I printed on the Computer Grafix Rainbow Film. It looks really sharp!

Paint pens are perfect for coloring on the Grafix plastic films.
