Faux Hinges

I saw these faux hinges quite awhile back on Lynn McAuley's Confessions of a Left-Brained Stamper blog. She used a cereal box to create them, which just goes to show you can use so many different materials when scrapbooking. I used regular manila cardstock, but I did try this on some orange and yellow cardstock and it worked as well. So don't be afraid to try it on whatever scraps you have laying around.

Directions:
Cut two pieces of cardstock to 2" by 1-1/2" each.

Fold in half. Punch two holes in each folded piece, so you will have a total of 4 holes on each piece.

Stamp Versamark ink all over the inside of the hinges.

Cover with gold embossing powder.

Shake off excess and heat emboss until dry.

I used eyelets to connect my hinges, but Lynn had used brads. Use whatever works for you.
Optional: Go back and add Versamark and gold embossing powder and heat emboss your eyelets or brads.
