More Small Cuttlebug Folder/Die Holders

I was quite pleased with the holder I made yesterday for the swap, and realized I needed a couple of folders myself. Better than having the small folders and dies loose in a box, and more attractive. (This is pretty much the same steps as posted for yesterdays folder).
I liked making the covers out of wallpaper samples. I have a few sheets that are kind of funky. I decided to play and see what I could come up with. I also had bought some badge holders that were vertical holders for badges, which means a horizontal orientation for a small booklet or holder. For the sheets of wallpaper seen below, I embossed with this folder and colored the raised areas with Brilliance ink and heat set.
On the upper sheet in the above picture, I adhered it to thin cardboard and then ran through a second Cuttlebug embossing folder and colored the raised areas with the green Brilliance ink pad. I took some of the wallpaper scraps, ran them through the same embossing folder used the first time, colored with the brown Brilliance ink pad and then cut a decorative element with a Cuttlebug die.

I like how the embossing and coloring really transformed these wallpaper samples. I used a black Sharpie to color the edges of the decorative elements. Front cover:

I added sticker letters and an image to the inside front cover.

Added an image and letter stickers on the inside back cover. (bad photo, stickers spell "explore").

Back cover:

For the second booklet, I choose some wallpaper samples that I didn't particularly like. I embossed the upper papers with the diamond folder and the lower papers with the floral folders. I decided I wanted the paper more blue than the original green color, so I was very liberal in applying blue Brilliance ink.

I took the floral embossed paper, adhered it to a thin sheet of cardboard and embossed with the diamond folder and colored with the platinum Brilliance ink.

I had some scraps of wallpaper left over from yesterday's project. cut it out with a Cuttlebug die and ran a platinum Brilliance ink pad over the surface to add to the outside covers.

I added a rub on and some stickers letters on the front cover.

I added an art quote on vellum to the inside front cover. This softened the geometric pattern.

And added another quote on vellum to the back inside cover.

Back cover:

I like the covers so much more than how the original sheet of wallpaper looked.
