Old School Tag

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits. Since my wrist has been bothering me this week I wasn’t sure if I would get one made but I powered through and created a quick and easy tag. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I cut two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits and glued those back to back since the patterned cardstock was only on one sided.

Second, I added an assortment of scraps of cardstock to the base of the tag and then I dug into my basket of chipboard embellishments and glued the “old school”, “wear and tag” gauge and “splats” to the tag.

Third, I picked this dapper gentleman from the Mini Paper Dolls and adhered him next to the “old school” sentiment and called this side of the tag finished.

Fourth, for this side of the tag I used a scraps of cardstock and a few printables that was leftover from pervious projects. I adhered those to the base of the tag along with a doily shaped acetate overlay from my stash. I also added the “memories” sentiment on top of the overlay.

Fifth, I added a mini paper doll woman to the tag along a couple of Liquid Gloss dots to the flowers to finish this side of the tag.

This tag came together very quickly and will be added to my ring of tags. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen Hull’s blog lately to see what her team has created you can find that post HERE.

Bird House and Feathers Tag

Hi everyone! I am back with a quick and easy tag I created using, you guessed it, scraps from my desk. I used the largest tag from Eileen Hull’s Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits as the base for my tag. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had cut two of the largest tags out from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits since the cardstock I used wasn’t double sided. I glued both tags back to back and lightly inked around both sides with a light green chalk ink.

Second, I gathered an assortment of scraps of cardstock and adhered to the tag. I used one “postage stamp” from the Snail Mail Thinlits and a button from the Card Case Diecut, these were already in my stash, and I added them to the tag as well.

Third, I fussy cut two feathers, bird house and the floral and feather arrangement from the Farm Sweet Farm Paper Collection.

I adhered the bird house to the tag but the two feathers I shaped with a Stylus and placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the floral arrangements before placing all to the tag.

Fourth, I applied Liquid Gloss to the floral arrangement and let dry.

Fifth, on the back side of the tag I kept it simple and flat. I gathered more scraps of cardstock, some were negatives of images that I had cut out and I thought that would be pretty cool to add to the tag. I adhered all to the tag.

Sixth, the “I call it enjoying my own company” sentiment I cut from a larger piece of cardstock. I matted with cardstock before gluing to the tag. I picked a woman from the Mini Paper Dolls and added her to the tag to finish.

Have you tried your hand at making tags yet? It’s a great way to use up those scraps or try a new technique on a small format. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comment box below.

Cotton Candy Mini Junk Journal

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with my project for Eileen Hull and this month’s theme is “Colors of Spring”. I choose soft pastel colors as the pallet for my journal using the Mini Book Diecut along with a few other dies by Eileen. Be forewarned, this is a long post so grab a snack and beverage and enjoy! Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of a piece of Mat Board. I placed cardstock from Prima Dulce 6″x6″ Paper Pad (retired) to the mat board, placed the Mini Book Diecut onto the mat board, sandwiched between the two cutting plates and run through the Diecut Machine.

Second, for the inside pages, I used the same paper pad along with an old book page with a total of four papers and a mini envelope to create a signature. I cut a file folder and envelope from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and one of the pages I cut with the Faux Postage Thinlits. I did cut it down to fit inside the journal.

Third, I used a Crop A Dile to punch holes in the spine and all the papers.

Fourth, I sewed them into the journal and tied off “inside” the envelope. I then glued together the envelope which hide where I tied everything into the spine.

Fifth, I cut a piece of ribbon as a closure and adhered to the center of the spine.

Sixth, I glued the label and the handle from the Mini Book Die to the spine, it covered the stitching and made it look neat. I added two buttons and Pearls to the spine.

Seventh, for the cover I cut an oval from the Journaling Card, Envelope and Windows Thinlits and glued to the cover. Side note, I made sure the ribbon was glued under the oval.

Eighth, I cut the box/oval from the Faux Postage Thinlits. I did remove the oval from the box before placing over the other oval.

Ninth, I selected a scrap of cardstock that had a tea cup and cupcake and adhered in the center of the box/oval. I finished by gluing two sequins and a leaf to the cover. Now for all the little details on the inside the journal!

Tenth, I added a belly band to the inside cover and cover that with a bit of trim. I cut the middle size tag from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits and placed under the belly band. The opposite page is actually the file folder and I didn’t add any embellishments since I didn’t want to cover the images on that page.

Eleventh, for this set of pages, the first page is the back side of the file folder and on the opposite page I used the oval that I had removed from the box that is on the cover and glued to the page along with a bit of cardstock and a butterfly that I had fussy cut from the paper pad. I added a sequin to finish the page.

Twelfth, since my clip wasn’t long enough to hold the Faux Postage page, you can see a part of the book page which I didn’t add embellishments to. But the opposite page from the Faux Postage page is another book page. I used a Mini Paper Clip to hold a cut a part to the page.

Thirteen, on this set of pages, I fussy cut images from the paper pad, added part of a postage die and sequins to that page. The envelope is from Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits.

I added the leftover bits of Faux Postage dies inside the envelope and used a mini paperclip to hold it closed. I also added lace to the paperclip.

Fourteen, for this set of pages, I cut a heart from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and adhered it to the back of the envelope. The opposite page I glued a bit of mini Pom Pom trim to the page.

Fifteen, on these set of pages I added no embellishments. A side note, the Faux Postage Thinlits was easy to stitch it into the journal since the holes were already there.

Sixteen, this set of pages, is the backside of the Faux Postage page.

The opposite page I fussy cut the Farris wheel out from the paper pad and adhered two of the corners to the page to create a pocket. I added a cut a part to the pocket.

Seventeen, this set of pages, I glued lace to the page and the opposite page is the other half of the file folder. I added the tiny “thoughts” sticker that I had found in my planner stuff to the tab.

Eighteen, this set of pages, I left plain and the back inside cover I added another belly band with trim and a tag to finish the journal.

Whew! That was a lot of photos and info to write about and I’m sure a lot for you to take in but I hope it inspired you to create your own. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen’s blog lately to see what her teams have been up to you can find the latest post HERE.

Family and Flowers Tag

Hi everyone! I’m back with another quick and easy tag this week. I used scraps I had laying on my desk and the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull and a few other dies by her as well to create this tag. So let’s get started!

First, since the cardstock I used was double sided I only cut one tag from Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits using the largest tag thinlit. I gathered a couple of patterned scraps of cardstock and glued to the front of the tag.

Second, I had cut the envelope, three flowers, center to the flower and the smallest leaf out from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I adhered the envelope together before gluing to the tag. I dug into a packet of Mini Paper Dolls and selected a family which I placed inside of the envelope.

Third, I shaped the three flowers, flower center and leaf with a Stylus. I adhered the three flowers on top of each other along with the center and the leaf to the back of the flower before gluing to the corner of the envelope.

Fourth, I dug into my stash of flowers and leaf sprigs that I had already cut out. These are from the Folio Page, Pocket and Flower Thinlits and the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and I always try and have some extra cut out and on hand to use in projects.

I shaped the flowers and leaf sprigs with a stylus before adding around the layered flower. I finished off this side of the tag by adding Pearls to the center of the flowers, shredded cheese cloth and a bow made out of thread.

Fifth, the back side of the tag I kept simple. I used leftover printables from a tag I shared earlier, you can find that post HERE, and more scraps of cardstock. I glued the layers to the tag and added a fussy cut vine on top of the layers.

Sixth, I had this leftover button diecut that didn’t make it onto a pervious project. I had cut that from the Card Case Diecut. I tied thread through the button holes and adhered to the tag along with sequins. I finished by adding some Liquid Gloss to the leaves on the vine.

I am really excited that I’m building a nice jump ring of tags and can’t wait to create one for next week!

Blooms and Bunny Tag

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and a new, quick and easy tag I would like to share with you! I didn’t do step by step photos since I was in the moment of creating. But I used the Waterfall Card and Tag Thinlits and a few other dies by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!

First, I cut out only one of the largest tags (since the cardstock is double sided) from the Waterfall Card and Tag Thinlits and went through my scrap bag and gathered cardstock and cut parts for the front and back of the tag.

Second, I had a label from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) in my stash so I adhered that along with the scraps of cardstock and a cut a part to the tag. I also had a bunny, that never made it into a project, that I had cut out from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I lightly inked it was a white chalk ink to give dimension.

Third, I cut two of the larger flowers and the smaller flower from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and the leaf sprig, which I used as the “veins” for the leaf from the Folio, Page, Pocket and Flowers Thinlits and the leaf from the Bookmark, Tag and Pocket Thinlits (retired). I shaped all the flowers and the leaf with a Stylus. I glued all the flowers on top of each and added the leaf sprig onto the leaf before placing all onto the tag.

I finished the front of the tag by adding a Pearl to the center of the flower and loops of thread.

Fourth, I adhered more scraps to the back of the tag. The square and circle was from a leftover project that I had cut from the Faux Postage Thinlits.

I turned the circle over since it is white and would make the rose stand out. The rose and “bloom” sentiment are from the Garden Party Collection by Maggie Holmes. As you can see this side of the tag came together quickly.

I have been challenging myself to make at least one tag a week and, so far, I’ve managed to do so for a whole month. YAY! Question…have you completed a challenge where you make something each week? If you haven’t I would like to challenge you to start creating a tag or some type of small project each week. Let me know in the comments below if you have or are planning to.

Happily Ever After Tag

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using scraps and bits of cardstock, leftover Mat Board and the Lace 3D Embossing Folder by Eileen Hull. If you remember earlier this month I shared another tag using the same embossing folder but had turned the tag a different way than this tag for a completely different look. If you are interested in that post you can find it HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had cut out a tag from a leftover scrap of Mat Board using the Tag and Bookplates Diecut (retired). As with the other tag I made earlier this month the mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut and the approximate size of the tag came to 3 1/4″x5 7/8″. I embossed the tag with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder and lightly went over the embossed areas with an aqua/teal chalk ink.

Second, I lightly applied Ivory Luster Wax over the embossed area.

Third, I lightly hit areas of the tag with brown chalk ink. It gave it a nice vintage look.

Fourth, I gathered up scraps of different patterned cardstocks, cut a parts, a “Happily Ever After” sentiment, a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls, chipboard “x” piece and a flower.

Fifth, I added layers of scraps and the sentiment to the tag. I also had this leftover bit of cardstock that I had embossed with the Crochet Mandala 3D Embossing Folder. I was happy that piece complemented what I had already added to the tag.

Sixth, I added flat back pearls to the sentiment, adhered a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls onto the tag. Next I placed a Foam Pop Dot to the back of a flower and an “x” chipboard piece to the center before placing onto the tag.

Seventh, I cut a medium and large heart and the smaller leaf from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I shaped the leaf with a Stylus and adhered under the flower. The hearts I placed on the tag and added a bow and loops made of thread to finish this side of the tag.

Eighth, I covered the back of the tag by cutting out another tag to cover the not so “pretty” side. I glued that to the back.

Ninth, I kept this side of the tag simple and put together an assortment of diecuts from various collections that I’ve “hoarded” through the years. I am trying hard to use what I have instead of going out and buying more supplies.

Eleventh, I layered and adhered all the diecuts, along with a piece of lace and another couple from the Minis Paper Dolls to the tag.

Twelfth, I added a bow made of thread and a gem to the center of the gauge to finish the tag.

What do you do with all your leftover scraps and diecut embellishments? Do you use them or collect (hoard) them? Let me know in the comments below.

Shades of Green Tag

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a quick and easy Saint Patrick’s Day tag I created. I know Saint Patty’s Day is over but I’ve been a little under the weather and I’m now getting around to sharing. My go to thinlit for this project is the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I cut out two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits since the backs of both cardstocks were white and glued them back to back. I fussy cut all the images out from the free printable that I had downloaded from the Graphic Fairy. It was a free printable that was offered on their instagram page so I’m not sure if it’s still available or not? But you can find other images on their site for free or they have a paid membership option also.

Second, I used two different size circle punches to punch out two of the images but the other images were fussy cut. Before adding all the images to the tag I lightly inked the edges of the tag with a light green chalk ink.

The butterfly I applied adhesive to the center part and bent the wings upwards before placing onto the tag. I used Gold Stickles on the wings of the butterfly and I added Liquid Gloss to the berries of the leaves and branch to finish this side of the tag.

Third, I lightly inked this side of the tag with the light green chalk ink along with a few of the fussy cut images. I layered, distressed and adhered the images to the tag. The image of the woman I added Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing onto the tag.

Fourth, I added gems to the hat and added Liquid Gloss to the center of each flower before calling it finished. I really enjoyed using the printable along with the scraps that I used for the tags. I have leftovers from the printable so I’m sure those images with end up in another project down the road.

If you have any questions or comments about this tag please leave them below.

Pink and White Storage Box

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another project using the Storage Box Diecut by Eileen Hull. I only used one diecut for this project. Which is hard to believe because I’m a firm believer in using an assortment of dies, thinlits and embossing folders…yikes! Where was my mind when I was making this!?!?! Also I took no step out photos. I was in the moment and I had it made before I realized it…sorry about that! Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of Mat Board, then a light pink cardstock, placed onto the Storage Box Diecut, placed in-between two cutting plates and run through a Diecut Machine. Side note, I cut out the parts of the box twice.

Second, I used Prima Dulce Paper Collection (retired) to cover and embellish the lid and the box. Since this paper pad is a 6″x6″ paper pad I thought it was the perfect size to use. I picked sheets from the pad that had multi prints/advertisements and cut slightly smaller than the box and the lid and adhered to each side of the box and lid. I dressed up the top and bottom of the box with pink trim from my stash. I also added a pink trim around the top of the lid.

Third, I dug into my stash of paper flowers and glued to the lid. I added cut a parts, bits of lace, ric rac, strands of pearls, pom poms and loops of thread to finish the lid.

There’s so many uses for this box, such as adding a present and giving as a gift or using it as decorative storagebin your home. Do you have any other suggestion on how you would use this box? If you do leave your comment below.

Lace, Hearts and a Fairy Tag

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and I would love to share a tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Lace 3D Embossing Folder and the Faux Postage Thinlits, along with a few other dies, from her newest collection. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder! It’s 6″x8 1/2″ so you can embossing those journal covers or even extra large cards. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had a scrap of Mat Board that was leftover from another project. I cut that from the Tag and Book Plates Diecut (retired) and embossed with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. The mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut, so the measurements wound up being approximately 3 1/4″x5 7/8″.

Second, I lightly inked the raised edges with a combo of two different shades of pink chalk ink. I then rubbed Ivory Luster Wax over the entire tag and once I was happy with the way it looked a lightly hit the raised areas with a tan chalk ink.

Third, I only needed the oval section of the Faux Postage Thinlits and I wanted to highlight the fairy. I cut cardstock larger than the oval area, placed onto the thinlits and run through the Diecut Machine. I know some people like to tear these dies but I used the Scissors to carefully cut out the oval and the excess.

Fourth, I cut two wreaths and leaf sprig from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I layered the wreaths on top of each other and glued to the tag. I lightly inked the edges of both the oval and negative part of the postage stamp die and adhered to the bottom edge of the wreaths. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the oval before lining up and placing inside of the negative part.

Fifth, I cut two flowers from the Bookmark, Tag and Pocket Thinlits (retired), shaped with a Stylus, glued on top of each other and added a gem to the center. I cut two leaves from the leaf sprig, shaped and placed on the back of the flower. I made a bow with thread and adhered to the edge of the oval along with the flower.

Sixth, I cut the small and medium size hearts from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, inked with chalk ink and glued both onto the upper corner of the wreath and added a few sequins to finish the tag.

Have you had a chance to look at Eileen Hull’s newest dies, thinlits and embossing folder? If you have which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

March Release Party with Eileen Hull!

Hi everyone! It’s that time again for another wonderful release from Eileen Hull! I’m so excited to introduce this brand new collection by Eileen from Sizzix! As always, these designs may be used together but also stand alone. There are four pieces in this set. Also I will be sharing a sneak peek of each project I created and will do a complete blog post of each later.

The Storage Box is an XL ScoreBoard die measuring 4” square, the largest square box yet!

This box is constructed with a removable top and may be used in many ways, such as organizing desk and office supplies, as a gift box, storing craft supplies and packaging for baked treats.

The Mini Book is a great way to create a book in just one an evening, and using up all those scraps you have lying around in the process.

This book measures 3 3/4” x 2 1/4” and comes with a strap/handle and tiny label for the book cover. It also makes a great bag topper if you fold it in the middle and also will hold a business card. Die cut it from felt and stitch up a tiny wallet!

There is a new Thinlits called Faux Postage– the full panel is designed to fit on a 5” x 7” card and creates a fun postage stamp effect. You can also cut (or tear) each stamp apart and use the individual pieces as a miniature work of art! These dies coordinate with similar dies: Snail Mail (A-2 card size) and Mini Slimline (6” x 3”).

The Lace 3D Embossing Folder is so amazing! It’s a new LARGE size measuring 8 1/2” x 5 3/4”. It works great on bigger journal covers, card backgrounds and on home decor pieces. This is created from vintage lace that Eileen has collected. I used the embossing folder and faux postage thinlit together to create this!

Check out this collection and see lots of ideas from Eileen’s fantastic team! The Release Party will be held on Friday, March 1 at noon Eastern on Eileen’s YouTube, Facebook and Instagram channels.

There’s a giveaway too- join us on the live and hear how you can win…

You can find these dies in your local scrapbook stores- if they don’t carry them, ask them to order. Eileen also carry them in her Etsy Shop and would love your support!
