Next, I ran a sheet of <a href="https://go.magik.ly/ml/1dp50/" target="_blank">Red Velvet Paper</a> through my Xyron <a href="https://shrsl.com/3be3x" target="_blank">Creative Station</a>. Then cut it down to 3-3/8" x 8-3/8".</p><p style="text-align: center;">Before continue I made sure to run all my materials for this card through my Xyron <a href="https://shrsl.com/3be3x" target="_blank">Creative Station</a>. This enables me to create quicker by adding adhesive directly behind all the materials so that once everything is cut all I need to do is peel and stick it all together.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Then I inserted the <a href="https://go.magik.ly/ml/1dp50/" target="_blank">Red Velvet Paper</a> strip into my Sizzix <a href="https://shrsl.com/3bfiu" target="_blank">Big Shot Foldaway</a> using the Eileen Hull <a href="https://shrsl.com/3be3j" target="_blank">3D Sweater Embossing Folder</a>. This folder is a standard A2 size. So after embossing one end I embossed it a second time on the other end, carefully lining the embossing up to look like a continuous pattern. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Keep in mind that this is also a 3D embossing folder so the sandwich for your machine will differ. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEily30H0wQEQBaS6M89AVMQPCdgmq1SzCBaEIqlTCxwBwec9dSFpHHcssBrSePC3nGwHuMmDr8UKkY7-FQvlehTgjUxggCUSip3-vXHDh7GiHF86x8laafh0TUNyp1LTcwEz3EOotG1tvFMwd0rDPnz3Yt2jbRvAHupXAnxNtcaItYr8NubFETYjfHQgQ=s2000" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="2000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEily30H0wQEQBaS6M89AVMQPCdgmq1SzCBaEIqlTCxwBwec9dSFpHHcssBrSePC3nGwHuMmDr8UKkY7-FQvlehTgjUxggCUSip3-vXHDh7GiHF86x8laafh0TUNyp1LTcwEz3EOotG1tvFMwd0rDPnz3Yt2jbRvAHupXAnxNtcaItYr8NubFETYjfHQgQ=w640-h213" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I die-cut The bird and stars from glitter cardstock.

I found some in my stash that looked like aged newsprint and taped it down with strip of Mint Tape. This tape is low tack and will not rip or damage the paper when removed. You can reuse several times (as you can tell in my pictures) so save those strips for later 😉. You can keep reusing them till they run out of tack- less waste.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once my paper was secured down, I took the TCW Skeletal Leaf Stencil and spread Gamboge then Marigold Stencil Butter over the design using a palette knife.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQROyh9NbtTd2izSvHawB9obZt5P5vb8KBhdI6iT-hegA2TkSrcglf85o_oLs7LG-EOG66AkD1mIjQUkr4dfMn09pCWjacGRwSXgtgCBsr9D-cpaFN5p7iHKoyVDS4c5N1CikkHPURXvY4HAwDoRuF9zQot4pRRuerXHoNMaxYbA-9j0OTvG6nB8zirw=s2000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQROyh9NbtTd2izSvHawB9obZt5P5vb8KBhdI6iT-hegA2TkSrcglf85o_oLs7LG-EOG66AkD1mIjQUkr4dfMn09pCWjacGRwSXgtgCBsr9D-cpaFN5p7iHKoyVDS4c5N1CikkHPURXvY4HAwDoRuF9zQot4pRRuerXHoNMaxYbA-9j0OTvG6nB8zirw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I used my heat tool to speed up drying time and to my surprise and delight it did not bubble whatsoever! It held up to heat very well!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then, I shaded in the Leaf with Mowed Lawn and Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink using a Blending brush. With the raised surface area created by the Stencil and Butters it was just more easier using a brush versus a sponge. The bristles of the brush move through the raised areas easier and can get in between all the little nooks- whereas a blending sponge or dauber could have issues of being torn from the ridges.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next.

This die was designed to create a box but I'm going to use it without the box feature and use it to create a slimline card instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Truck section of the die measure around 7"×3-1/2", this was not an exact measurement.

I'm back with my as-promised tutorial of last week's Mini Album made from the New Eileen Hull Folio die. I will be breaking this tutorial into segments this time around. The entire project was just way too long to cram into a single tutorial. In today's segment, we will be covering how I made the outside cover of my album using a plastic table mat.

text-align: center;">I started with a plastic table mat I bought at my local dollar store. It was highly detailed with a lace-like pattern. But it was 1) plastic and 2) gilded gold and blindingly ugly (to me- seriously not my taste but I'm not knocking it if it's yours-seriously. To each his own).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really loved the pattern and could easily envision it toned down and believed it would make a gorgeous cover.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started by laying my mat board onto my mat and using it as a guide to cut the table mat into long enough strips to cover the back and front of my cover. I used a permanent pen to trace a thin line and then hand-cut the strips with kitchen shears. This material is somewhat thick and would have been too difficult for my crafting scissors to go through without overworking my hands. The serrated edges of kitchen shears, on the other hand, cut through the mat like butter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4QXhyiKuSE/YHZ545gdqkI/AAAAAAACFUA/2kSnyGPPF0UIque4W9ZWPaJOqimBTujbQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4QXhyiKuSE/YHZ545gdqkI/AAAAAAACFUA/2kSnyGPPF0UIque4W9ZWPaJOqimBTujbQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/folio-tutorial-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made sure to get the flowers all along the top edge onto one strip and the latticework all on the other.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since both my mat and my mat board materials are on the thick side, I decided to die-cut them separately as to not overstress my machine. If the material you're cutting is too thick you could potentially break your machine if you force it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before die-cutting, I ran my mat board through my Xyron Creative Station. I covered both the back and front of 2 whole pieces of Sizzix mat board. I left the protective film on, then die cut my mat board piece with the Folio Album die. Then Die-cut the plastic mat strips, with the gold side down facing the die.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kmKqPiVrQvE/YHZ54stoQdI/AAAAAAACFT8/u_hQdtX4pDQC4-O3yV0DbK8PrK97bkujwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kmKqPiVrQvE/YHZ54stoQdI/AAAAAAACFT8/u_hQdtX4pDQC4-O3yV0DbK8PrK97bkujwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/folio-tutorial-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once die-cut, you'll see the lined impressions left by the crease blades. I used a pen and ruler to enhance all these lines so I could see them better. Then used my kitchen shears once again and snipped apart my mat.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOFc6aCWKiY/YHZ55by_KfI/AAAAAAACFUE/Yj-FZIrsdjYRGTec3e3dwuwZyMZaJbX1wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YOFc6aCWKiY/YHZ55by_KfI/AAAAAAACFUE/Yj-FZIrsdjYRGTec3e3dwuwZyMZaJbX1wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/folio-tutorial-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I only needed one spine of each side (pattern). I will be gluing the spines together so I needed full contact free of the mat in this section.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I removed the protective film off the mat board and individually added my mat pieces onto it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The top row pictures below show the inside of the folio cover. The next row is for the front cover. Take notice the gap of bare matboard in the last picture, that is where the spines overlap and connect. Remember, the entire matboard is cover in adhesive already so all I have to do is press the pieces together and adhere the spine.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTQdAEBgd4w/YHZ55nNo6nI/AAAAAAACFUI/B6qrduPIji0r2JuSySA0D6rPBtQasPiIACLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-4g.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wTQdAEBgd4w/YHZ55nNo6nI/AAAAAAACFUI/B6qrduPIji0r2JuSySA0D6rPBtQasPiIACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/folio-tutorial-4g.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once both the back and fronts were adhered to the mat board, I applied and completely covered it with black gesso.

The cover looks tons better already just covered in black!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I did want to accentuate that gorgeous detail. I used Sizzix's new Luster wax over the raised edges. I simply dipped my finger into the wax pot, dabbed or scraped off the excess, and rubbed the raised details of the table mat. I continued this until both the back and front were completely covered.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6lieQXaSX4g/YHZ56XB4wSI/AAAAAAACFUQ/XR4m2kw8QEgUlv3d7zx2iYCtKSTwmLUjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="2000" height="211" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6lieQXaSX4g/YHZ56XB4wSI/AAAAAAACFUQ/XR4m2kw8QEgUlv3d7zx2iYCtKSTwmLUjQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h211/folio-tutorial-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the outside of the front cover, I die-cut a mandala from heavyweight cardstock. Because this is a heavily detailed die I made sure to line my cardstock with adhesive first before die-cutting and also die-cut it using a Sizzix Chrome Precision Plate.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I adhered it to a piece of patterned paper that I had previously used on another part of this project (it will come into play in another follow-up segment). Then cut it out with my craft scissors. Cutting a background helps to ground the mandala. I'll be adding this to my from cover and I didn't want the intricate details of the mandala fighting with the lacey details of the mat. Matting the mandala focuses your attention on the mandala and brings it to the forefront.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Up till this point, the cover has been very monochromatic. I wanted to give it a pop of color. and added a splash of RED with peonies and rosebuds. Then surrounded it with daisy leaves and sprinkled in tiny white flowers. I attached the flowers using Quik Grab adhesive, a heavy-duty glue that grabs almost immediately.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then finished off my cover by adding a crinkle ribbon in a matching red color.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Om4GytXUBVY/YHZ561RvoqI/AAAAAAACFUY/ZpS0m-NYwQIwNZKje6r5iKA2-Bo6jFAOwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/folio-tutorial-8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="2000" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Om4GytXUBVY/YHZ561RvoqI/AAAAAAACFUY/ZpS0m-NYwQIwNZKje6r5iKA2-Bo6jFAOwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h320/folio-tutorial-8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my finished album cover...</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L19jYDyApxQ/YHcCPZVnFKI/AAAAAAACFWY/81jvKlB8yxEZhyXu8wVMbXZc9YAVCq-pQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/20210406_143314.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L19jYDyApxQ/YHcCPZVnFKI/AAAAAAACFWY/81jvKlB8yxEZhyXu8wVMbXZc9YAVCq-pQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/20210406_143314.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love how this turned out!

Then attached a 5 1/4" piece of Kingston Crafts' teal and white polka dot patterned paper using my Xyron Mega Runner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fp1emK8GP5k/YE8CcyxBikI/AAAAAAACC3A/YTJ4SNt1nmEtYmwFHRa6Hw64wWowcB65wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/YouAreLoved6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="2000" height="212" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fp1emK8GP5k/YE8CcyxBikI/AAAAAAACC3A/YTJ4SNt1nmEtYmwFHRa6Hw64wWowcB65wCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h212/YouAreLoved6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To create the intricate doily, I ran more white cardstock through my Creative Station machine and die-cut it using my Eileen Hull Mandala Die through a Big Shot Foldaway machine. Because this is a very intricate die, I substituted one cutting plate for a chrome precision plate to ensure that it would cut out each tiny detail. Then poked out all the tiny tidbits with ease with the help of my die brush tool.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ipdDzrt9SE/YE8Cex7ZUmI/AAAAAAACC3E/aL6HNpCpgB8oBculPB1KcgK5kee9ovYBgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/YouAreLoved7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ipdDzrt9SE/YE8Cex7ZUmI/AAAAAAACC3E/aL6HNpCpgB8oBculPB1KcgK5kee9ovYBgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/YouAreLoved7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I created a simple shadow for my doily by placing my mandala die flat onto a piece of pink paper, also from Kingston Crafts, and tracing out its silhouette.

I used these tiny heart-shaped rhinestones and attached them by sticking them onto my mega runner and peeling them up.

So much more play space than the average A2 sized greeting card and ships for the same price!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the base of my card, I used 110 lb white cardstock.
