Handmade Writers Notebook

I had some stamps which lent themselves nicely to make this book:


I took two pieces of sturdy cardboard for the covers and stamped the script stamp in brown ink onto cream card. I then wrapped these around the covers and finished off the inside cover with some cream card.

The inside has lined paper from a pad so I lined the ready punched holes up and punched matching holes into the covers. I fixed in some bronze brads and book rings hold it all together.

For the front decoration I heat embossed the typewriter image in pomegranate WOW embossing powder. This image was then mounted onto brown card.

The words were stamped onto mountboard with matching red ink and ultra thick embossing powder was applied three times to give it the raised, shiny finish.

A different script stamp was stamped 3 times and embossed with the same pomegranate embossing powder onto the cream card. This was cut out and mounted onto brown card as a border.

The small book was stamped with clear versamark ink onto brown card and embossed with WOW embossing powder in copper metallic.

This would make a perfect present for any writer and you won't find anything like it!
