My newest addiction is Spellbinders Dies. I bought my first one a couple of weeks ago and love it! I'm now up to 3 sets and decided to make an album to store them in. I cut thick 12x12 chipboard into 12x6 strips for the covers, covered them with Tim Holtz luscious Shabby Papers, took different sheets from his Shabby Stash and folded each sheet in half length wise to create my pages. I then cut strips of magnetic sheeting with my xyron and adhered them to the pages. Inside the front cover I created a pocket to hold the labels for each die set until I know by heart which sets I have. I decorated the front cover with some Say it with Pearls bling by Prima, and finished it off with some of my favorite Tim Holtz metal embellishments. I used Tim Holtz Hitch Fasteners and a hinge cut from Grungeboard using Tim's Hardware findings Die for the Album closure.
and here's a view inside the front cover:

Hey, this is a really cool idea! I will be making one for myself too, because after a while keeping the dies in the original package gets cumbersome.. I also like you combination of colours here!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle. Your storage book is awesome! The cover really sets the tone for your entire project. I love the harlequin print and the embellishments you've added.
