Sizzix Paper Leather case for Eileen Hull

hello everyone!! I am beyond excited to share this month project with you all.

Passport wallet

Eileen challenged us,  her design team,  to showcase Sizzix Paper Leather Sheets and Inksheets which come in WhiteBlack, Red,  Silver, Gold and Green .  (To use the Inksheets you need an Inksheets Transfer Pad. There is also a starter kit available HERE.  )leather and inkstep one of my  project I started out with an 8×10 sheet of white to which I added three of Dina’s newest paint colours.  I just randomly applied them on the front and once dry on the back using a paint brush

step three I laid  the sheet of paper on the mini album die and being careful to stay just inside the cut line I ran it through my die cutting machine

step five was where I realized that I grabbed the WRONG platform and ended up diecutting my piece instead of embossing the letters on my piece!! as you can see the letters went through the leather paper

step six & seven were realizing how to fix this ‘opps’ (outstanding opportunity presenting suddenly .. right Dina!) and I quickly came to the conclusion that by using Tim’s frosted film on the inside and glue n seal on the outside it made for the perfect save!(you can really only tell it’s there because of the shimmer and i am okay with that !!

frosted film to the rescue

step 8 was die cutting & embossing/inking the ‘latch’. the pattern on the starburst embossing folder is absolutely PERFECT for this flower!!!! LOVE it!Eileen Hull flowers

then it was time for a bit of sewing. i sewed the flowered ‘latch’ as well as all around my wallet before sewing it all together

and here you have a perfectly usable wallet to take out and about for those quick trips!
