Blue Denim Note Book by Kat

Hi all,
Kat here, with my 3rd & final project of the month,

Apologies for the rubbish post names,
I never know what to call them,
so I usually just write what I see (lol)

with core'dinations card stock as our focus
it seemed only natural to make a note book.
so here it is,

I started of with 2 pieces of grey board cut to size

I then cut the core'dinations card stock in 2 different blues

slightly larger, so if it shrank when it was embossing

it wouldn't be to small.

I then embossed with the same design,

but by turning the card pieces over

you get an embossed & debossed pattern,

I then sanded it with Tim's sanding grip

here's the difference in the patterns.

I then glued them with

Claudine Hellmuth multi matte medium

I glued a silver strip over the join

& added another sanded strip of the darker blue core card

I trimmed it all back with a craft knife,

I glued the silver paper to the inside of the covers

& trimmed it back,

then cut the holes with the bind it all machine.

for the pages I cut them a couple of mm smaller than the covers,

I didn't count them (just made a small wedge)

then with a scrap of card slightly smaller than the page

for a mask & a

blending tool I blended faded jeans Distress Ink

then added the texture with Stipple background stamp

& faded jeans Distress Ink

I added the small flower chain off the flower blooms set

coloured with a copic marker.

punched the holes with the bind it all

& put it all together with half inch 0 ring.

I made the flower from the same stamp set

(flower blooms set) stamped in Jet Black archival ink

& blended with Weatherd wood & Faded Jeans Distress Inks

I glued a button in the center & added some leaves

cut from a sizzix die & the same core'dinations card stock

& glued it to the cover.

here's the stamps I used,

& there you have it,

Jobs a good-en

Hope you like it!

have a creative day,

Kat x.
