The Sizzix Handbound Journal ScoreBoards XL Die by Eileen Hull is a single ScoreBoards XL die that scores and cuts the panels for a full handbound journal structure, finishing at approximately 5" x 6" x 1-1/2" once assembled. Because the die produces every fold line and cut needed for the cover and spine in one pass, there's no need to measure or score the panels by hand before folding them into shape. Run it through a compatible die-cutting machine to cut the full structure from a single sheet of heavyweight cardstock or chipboard, then fold along the scored lines to build the journal shape. The die coordinates with the ScoreBoards Journal Hardware die (666814), which supplies the binding hardware to finish the book once the cover is assembled and folded correctly. Because this produces a complete 3D structure rather than a flat embellishment, it's better suited to someone building a full handmade journal than a quick card or page accent, and it rewards planning the interior pages before cutting the cover.
