Cards done using my own gel printed papers.

Here are some cards that I did using my own gel printed papers and some @eileenhull stencils and dies.

I started by printing my own papers using my favorite plates from @gelpress . I used recycled paper from my printer. I added many layers of acrylic paint.

Using Eileen Hull’s Watercolour Flowers& Lattice Layered Stencils from @sizzix , I added some flower details.

With my gel printed papers I did some 3d flowers using Eileen Hull’s Thinlits Die - Painterly Blooms & Background.

For the cards background besides using my gel printed papers, I used Eileen’s Faux Postage Thinlits.

( All the cards will go inside the Treasured Box that I showed on a previous post ).

The Green Mixed Media Treasure Box

I am a huge fan of boxes ever since I was a little girl. I remember my mom arguing with me for always saving al kind of boxes. I felt like I had to adopt every single box that I touch ...lol.  

When I discovered that you can actually make your own box, It was like in a dream. 

That is what I love about Eileen Hull's Scoreboard Dies from Sizzix. You can make your own box out of so many materials. 

 

I started  this box by first designing my own paper. I used recycled paper from my printer. Using a @gelpress printing plate with acrylic paint I started printing my own paper. I added layers over layers of paint creating different patterns. 

When done with the background layers I added some gold flower details, using acrylic paint and Eileen Hull's  Watercolour Flowers & Lattice Stencil. 

Using the same paper  and Eileen Hull's Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die by Sizzix , I did some 3d flowers. It is amazing how they look. So much texture, color and patterns.  

With the remaining paper I did some cards to go with the Treasure Box. It is a great present for that special one. I really enjoyed making this project. 

Detail photos of the cards will be included in the next post.

Thanks for looking. 

I did this mini journal using @eileenhull Mini Book die from @sizzix .
It is all made from recycled materials. For the cover I used one of the @amazon shipping boxes. I exposed the corrugated layer of the box to give it some visual interest. I added some @primamarketinginc Waxes . For a gold metal look I added some Gold Rose @sizzix Luster Wax ( it is not showing that well in the photo). I did the front cover embellishment using my @cricut Maker.
For the inside I did 3 booklets which I book bound using waxed thread. The booklet pages are done from recycled paper. I painted them using my favorite @gelpress printing plate with acrylic paint. I am planning on using this mini book to write inspirational quotes.
