Ring Binder - Edison themed

Hello Friends

My AALL & Create project this week uses one large stamp and one stencil to create a handmade ring binder to store design ideas.

This is a view of the full ring binder so you can get a view of the whole design.


I began by stamping the image (AALL & Create #142 - Edison Game by Olga Heldwein) in Archival ink onto a piece of heavy white cardstock and used Distress Inks in Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs and Blueprint Sketch to colour the cardstock.  I coloured the light bulbs in with Distress Markers in Scattered Straw and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks.


I cut two covers and a spine in chipboard, added a Tim Holtz ring binder mechanism.  I coloured the cardstock with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink and then dampened a stencil (AALL & Create #50 by Aurtour de Mwa), placed it on the covers, pressed them with a cloth, lifted them and left the covers to dry. This is the inside of the ring binder.


I used a stencil (AALL & Create #2 by Olga) and some Ranger Texture Paste on the front cover only, it adds some lovely texture.


I cut the stamped and coloured cardstock to fit the back, front and spine of my ring binder.  The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that I have the front and back the wrong way round in this photo! I inked around the edges of each piece and glued the three pieces together with strong wet glue.



I cut some plain cardstock to fit the binder and used a regular sized hole punch to create the holes.I created a pocket on the inside front of the binder and used a stencil (AALL & Create #50 by Autour de Mwa) along with Blueprint Sketch Distress ink.

Stamps and stencils can be purchased from AALL & Create at www.aallandcreate.com/boutique where you will also find a list of stockists worldwide.

Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon.

Hugs, Anne xx

  9. Ooh, you could just dive in to that blue - amazing! Love the colour combination with the glowing bulbs, and the full stamp makes for an incredibly cool binder cover. The stencil "lift" technique is really cool, and I love the extra detail of the texture paste layered over the intricate image. Brilliant as ever!

  13. Love this project Anne, enhanced, of course, by the AALL & Create stamping and stencil work. Just wondered if you could adapt EH's die into a ring binder like this. Will have to investigate - but thanks for the inspiration either way.
    Hugs, Neet xx

  14. Just popping by for my weekly visit...This is a fantastic cover Anne, such clever use of those stamps and stencils!!! And I love the vibrant colours, what would we do without Edison's great discovery... A wonderful honouring of one of the greatest inventions ever. Very clever also how you turned the die into a ring binder, but then you are the master with things like that....
    Happy Sunday! xxx
