We hope that you will be inspired too and share how you use the dies in the Eileen Hull Fan Club. In this post I'm sharing photos showing some of the pages in my Floral Folio Journal starting with the cover, which has been covered in gauze, white gesso and panels cut from a decorative paper that I made. It has layers of paints, inks, charcoal pencil, stencilling through a die cut of Eileen's 'Mandala', stitching and a little collaging. The same paper has been used to cover the inside of the Floral Folio Journal and is the base layer for some of the pages and pockets. Flowers and words by Wendy Vecchi stamp sets have been used throughout. The photos highlight some of the ways I used the new dies throughout the Folio Journal. For example the die cut 'Mandala' can be used as a page as seen above. On the simple flip out page below the corner pocket that comes in the 'Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers' Die Set has been decorated with part of a 'Mandala' cut from painted paper. Here you can see where I've die cut a 'Mandala' from kraft card to be used as a stencil through which to apply texture paste to various pages. It's amazing how much of the detail comes through and it became something of a 'motif' that can be seen throughout the journal. On this page I cut the 'Mandala' from a Sizzix double sided adhesive sheet and, after sticking it down, covered it with gold metal flakes. You could get the same results by using metallic foil sheets on top of the die cut adhesive. This 'quilted' effect page is already detailed so it needed just a little decoration. The various flower and leaf shapes from the 'Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers' Die Set were ideal with the various shapes cut from more of the card that had been used in the background. The Folio Journal has a lovely deep section around the spine which enabled me to add a wrapped spoon (cut using Eileen's Teacup Die) alongside the neutral stencilled paper I created for the covers and pages - a big thank you to Cec Wintonyk for that idea! On the other side from the spoon is another of the die cut pockets which holds a 'Mandala' stencilled tag. Really helpfully Eileen has included a die to cut the pocket and another to create a coordinating decorative panel in the 'Folio Page, Pocket & Flowers' Die Set. A double gatefold page spread includes die cut 'Mandala' shapes on the outside and more of the Folio Flowers on the inside. The various flower shapes in the die set work really well together to enable you to create a range of flowers and leaves from different materials (in this case painted paper and vellum). I've included words on the second side of the gatefold spread and more of the flowers to make the design flow. The brighter colours stand out against the neutral stencilled paper background. On the last full page the stencilling again takes centre stage, this time with layers of paint over the top and the words cascading down it. With such a beautifully lacy feel it coordinates with the various lace trims. One of the real treats about using this new Folio Journal is the amount of depth and space (real estate!) available to decorate; this means you can add lots of layers to each page without fear of them making the covers 'bulge'.

Happy Friday everyone! I have something completely different and exciting for you today! It's titled Beautiful Memories and it's a brand new style of album that I've never used before. It's more like a folio! This would be perfect for photos of everyday moments, family and friends, a spring bridal shower or a wedding, a birthday, your beautiful garden, or a visit to a butterfly farm. It would also make an amazing gift. It's wonderful for Mother's Day or as a thank you present for someone special. To purchase the instructions for this project visit: Beautiful Memories Scrapbook Instructions I used the new Simple Stories, Life in Bloom Collection (links below) and it's gorgeous! It's filled with pretty shades of pink and aqua with a splash of black. There are lots of dreamy images of butterflies and flowers balanced with vintage pictures of 35mm cameras, film, and typewriter keys. The album/folio is by Graphic 45 and it measures approx. 6.125" x 9" x 1.625". It reminds me of book box. It ties closed on the side with a pretty gingham ribbon. The inside of the front cover and the first page both have magnets that also help keep it together. Isn't the cover beautiful? I love the tiny polka dots, flowers, and the butterflies that look like they're hovering over the paper. When you open the cover, this is the first page you see. This is where the 2nd magnet is hidden. This print is gorgeous. The typewriter text in the background looks like an old page out of a book and the camera and flowers resemble a beautiful painting. The album is a little like a tri-fold. The cover opens to the left and the first page above, opens to the right. This is the center space that's filled with lots of interactive elements. I'm holding one of the center pages. It's a pocket page and inside is a cream photo mat with a butterfly brad on the top. I love how the brad fits perfectly in the little cut out. Flip this page over and ... ... you'll see the back side of that pocket page. It has more space for photos and a pretty aqua butterfly. There are also additional smaller pocket pages with cards tucked inside for journaling or more pictures. To the right side of the photo above, you can see the very center part of the folio. It has 4 flaps that lift up, down, to the right and to the left. I'm telling you ... this is like peeling a super beautiful onion with layers of pages and pockets to discover! And ... this is what's under all those flaps. It's a flippin' (lol) WATERFALL element!! This folio just keeps on giving! I've added lots of feminine papers to each page so all it's gorgeousness is on display! And speaking of gorgeous ... that butterfly print is everything. Here's a close up just so you can appreciate the colors and images a little better. I added this smaller pocket to one of the pages on the right side. I feel like I'm "living my best life" playing with these brand new products! And I think you will too - this folio is so much fun to put together. This is such an interesting and interactive scrapbook to save your photos in. The style is really unique and would make a fabulous handmade gift for anyone! Thanks for stopping by the blog today & happy scrappin'! Update: This kit has sold out but I've added the links for the Instructions and the products used below.
