Artists Storage Book

 

Hello! Happy New Year!

Well another year and of course a new Chapter release! Welcome to the Chapter 1 release! Today, I will be showing you how I created this gorgeous Artists Storage Book. Quick, easy and of course very useful! Any fellow artists out there? This year I am planning on creating more Art! 

Here we go….

Step 1: I cut out the book covers from matboard…

Step 2: I cut out the attachments for the book…

Step 3: Before joining the covers of the book, I embossed and backed the insides of my storage book with textured cardstock. I am in love with Eileen Hull’s new embossing folder, how gorgeous is this lace table cloth? Beautiful!

Step 4: For this next step, I created 2 storage boxes, one for the front cover and one for the back. I covered with print texture cardstock to keep the colour theme flowing through the book. 

Step 5: I started to decorate the inside of the storage book and added text using Eileen’s new lettering die…

Step 6: I created this cute little watercolour paper pad from scratch! It turned out pretty well. All i did was cut about 5 sheets of paper the same size. I cut a spine and just hot glued the pages to the spine - it was that simple! Then I just added a few simple decorations to the cover!

Step 7: I created a few inspirational cards to slot into the holder (another of Eileen’s new dies). I stamped the quotes and then just decorated around the edges with acrylic pens. I wanted to create an Artist’s quote for the front cover of my storage book too…

Step 8: I added the Artist quote to the front cover, and added a bow to finish!

Inside the storage book. There is plenty of space for brushes and of course a small paint palette or small tubes of paint. Handy to take with you on painting trips!

To complete my Storage book, I added another quote and a couple of paint brushes to the front cover.
