After I finished up some housework and chores today...I got some studio time in...I used my new Antique Brackette die cut to make a book for my hubby...I used Elvis fabric and with Heat n Bond and covered the outsides of the chipboard covers...
I lined the inside of each cover with black cardstock and cut the 4 pages from a coordinating color to match the fabric...I trimmed one edge so I could punch holes using my bind it all...I am going to put some photos of my hubby when he was growing up in the book, since he was born in the 50's...
My hubby has a birthday coming up next month and He is a big Elvis fan...Our den is dedicated to Elvis memorabilia...he even has me addicted to it now...I used 4 of the large envy die cuts in black cardstock and covered the outside of the box with the fabric using the Heat n Bond....
My Stampsmith Elvis stamp message came in perfectly handy to make the faux ribbon to attach at the top....I stamped the verse in black in on the cardstock strips...and attached all around the top flap edge...
I cut out one of the Elvis images and attached to the teal cardstock, then used one of my circle nesties to cut it out, then cut out a larger scalloped circle from black cardstock to layer the teal circle on...I raised it with pop dots...
Not sure if I will attach a handle, as I ordered him a couple of gifts today, so will see if one of them will fit in there for gift giving before I do anything else to it...Be sure and check out the next posting for a chance to win a similar kit for yourself...
