4 5 67 8 910 11 12To finish the project: To create the signatures I used 250gsm mixed media paper, craft paper and coloured card for the covers. I
stamped and embellished the covers using the same set of stamps to keep to the theme. I also stuck Stitched Slots on the inside
front cover and cover of the first signature. I made tags, additional beach huts, a mini envelope and also used some hearts left over
from an earlier project to embellish the inside. To complete and frame the project, I ran the Deep Lagoon ink around the edges of the
journal.4 Stamp a Beach Hut onto painted card
using VersaFine Vintage Sepia ink.
5 Pour Ivory embossing powder over
the image, tap off the excess and heat
set. Repeat until you have four huts,
two deckchairs and the life saver ring.6 Stamp the sentiments using Deep
Lagoon ink. Stamp the birds using
Hickory Smoke ink.7 Cut out the beach huts, deckchairs
and ring. Use more paint to create a
shadowed area.
8 Place the embellishments onto the
right side of the folder, then fix in
place using your preferred glue.9 Glue the ring onto spare card. Create
a hole through both the ring and the
journal, and fix in place with a brad.
This becomes the closure.10 Cut four pieces of coloured card for
signature covers, plus a further three
pages for each signature. Fold, and
lightly glue along each of the inner
pages.
11 Thread elastic through the holes
to create a holder for each of the
signatures. Attach another length
around the life ring, wrapping twice
around journal.12 Finally, use a soft pencil to edge
around each of the beach huts to give
them extra depth. Repeat on some of
the internal embellishments.Project: Beach Huts
