Hi everyone! I’m excited to share the brand new Turn the Page Collection by Esther Glas for Spellbinders Paper Arts. It has a little of everything in this collection: stamping, embossing, journaling, rolodex cards and my favorite tags.
I cut out the tag and the hole enforcer (hole enforcer didn’t make it into the photo below) and I was ready to start creating.
I know I’ve said this before but if you have leftover scraps of cardstock, embellishments, etc. this is a great way to use up those scraps and create something fun. Most of the time after I am finished with a project all the scraps go into a zip lock bag which I work from when I start another project.
Anyways, back to the tag I used one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies as a decorative element. There’s so many possibilities with this set of dies.
For the base of the tag, I inked up the edges of the tag and scraps of cardstock. I applied an Adhesive Sheet to a scrap piece of cardstock and cut out one of the borders from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies. I also placed Foam Squares to the back of a bird cage image.
I removed the Adhesive Sheet backing from the border die and placed onto the tag.
Also before placing the bird cage image onto the tag base, I inked scraps of cardstock and glued to the back side of the image and added the hole enforcer.
The next thing I did was fussy cut several roses, leaves and a bird images from a piece of cardstock. I adhered the flowers to the bird cage image and added a Gold Gem to two of the roses.
I placed Foam Squares to the back of the bird before placing onto the corner of the bird cage image and added loops of thread to finish.
This was a fun and relaxing project to work on and I can’t wait to create more so stay tuned! If you have any questions or comments about this project please leave them below.

Hi everyone! I’m ready to share my first project of the month for Eileen Hull. This month’s theme is Old Project/New Twist. Though this is an old project I created last year. The new twist, for me, is I never shared it. Last year in August I was going to write the blog post but my back went out (which was very painful). I spent a month between going to the chiropractor and trying to rest and not aggravate the process of the doctor’s work on my back. Anyways, I’m better and sure don’t want to go through that again!
I applied Adhesive Sheets on both sides of three cut down pieces of Mat Board. This is for the front and back covers and the spine. I placed patterned cardstock on both sides of the covers. For the spine I placed a solid colored cardstock on the outside of the spine and a patterned on the inside. I ran all pieces through the Diecut Machine.
I “peeled” both sides of the spine back and left the center spine to create one signature. This lets the spine lay flat against the outside covers. I adhered both covers to either side of the spine. I cut to fit cardstock to cover the areas that I “peeled” from the spine and glued in place. I added elastic cording to the top and bottom holes on the spine and tied off.
I cut down a booklet with blank pages inside to fit the inside of the journal.
I adhered cardstock to the front and back of the booklet. I glued two strips of cardstock to the center of the booklet. I placed the smallest circle diecut from the RainBow Wheels Thinlits over the strips of cardstock and I glued another strip of cardstock over the circle diecut. I dug into my stash of embellishments and placed a floral arrangement with butterfly and a leaf sprig over the circle diecut. I opened the booklet to the center and slid under the elastic cording in the journal.
In this photo you can barely see the inside front cover where I accidentally had the cardstock turned upside down. So, I had to come up with a solution to somehow cover up my mistake. I cut a cover from the Handbound Journal Diecut and cut down and scored at 1/2″ in on the straight end of the cover. I applied a line of glue to the scored end and placed onto the inside cover.
I cut two of the bookbindings from the Book Binding and Label Thinlits (retired). I folded and cut to size and added glue to each “flap” end. I placed each flap on the top and bottom of the inside cover and attached to the cut down cover to create a pocket. I cut out one of the labels from the Hardware Diecut and the smallest spinner/arrow. I punched a hole in the center of the label and added a brad to the spinner/arrow and attached to the label. I adhered the label to the inside cover. This will keep everything in place and the pocket closed.
For the back inside cover I cut a strip of patterned cardstock applied glue to three sides and placed on the cover. This is a great way to keep up with notes, receipts, etc.
The front cover I cut the largest circle from the RainBow Wheels Thinlits and glued to the cover along with a floral embellishment and a leaf sprig from my stash. I finished by adding gray trim to cover the seam between the plain and patterned cardstock.
Though this project is a year late in posting I hope it gives you some inspiration in creating one for yourself or as a gift for someone special. If you have any questions, want to share an idea or comments please leave them below.

Hi everyone! I am back with the third and final post in this series of tags I created using Eileen Hull’s newest collection and a lot of past dies. If you haven’t been following along you can find the first post HERE and the second post HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!
For the first tag I cut the largest tag from the Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits. I glued a fussy cut image of a house with tree, a tiny strip of cardstock and three Pearls.
The back of the tag I added a scalloped circle die from my stash to one side of the tag. I glued a color swatch printable and a strip of patterned cardstock over part of the scalloped circle die. I cut out the number 6 from the Nora Numbers Thinlits and adhered near the bottom of the tag. I added a tiny flower that I had cut from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and a Gem to the center of the flower. I placed it onto the number 6.
I cut out the smaller tag and glued a fussy cut house and a strip of cardstock to it. I used another tiny flower from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and added a Gem to the center of the flower. The tiny leaf I’m not sure which collection that comes from but I adhered that to the back of the flower and added to the strip of cardstock.
I found this scrap of cardstock that had the word “things” on it. So I glued it to the tag along with the number 7 from the Nora Numbers Thinlits.
I cut a largest tag and glued the “love you more” sentiment to one side of the tag. I added the married couple from the Mini Paper Doll and a small heart from the Stitched Hearts Thinlits to the tag.
The other side I glued three strips of cardstock to the tag and added fussy cut boots with flowers to the tag.
I cut out the smaller tag. I adhered a piece of lace to one side of the tag. I cut two of large and one small flowers from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits. I layered and glued together and added a Pearl to the center of the flower. I dug into my stash and used a leaf sprig which I adhered it and the flower to the tag.
I cut out the larger tag. I used the negative space from a die I had cut out and glued to one side of the tag. I added a circle die over what was there. I adhered a strip of cardstock and Ric Rac onto the circle die. I layered two flowers from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and added a Gem to the center of the flower. I dug into my stash and found a leaf sprig die that I glued to the tag along with the flower. To finish I glued a little girl from the Mini Paper Doll to the tag.
The back side of the tag I embossed a circle die with Watercolour Bouquet Embossing Folder and lightly inked with an Aqua Chalk Ink and glued onto the tag along with a postage stamp from the Faux Postage Thinlits. I applied Adhesive Sheet to a piece of green cardstock and cut a portion of a wreath from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I placed the wreath onto the tag. I cut the letter “T” from the Nora Alphabet Thinlits and I glued onto the circle and postage stamp portion of the tag to finish.
I cut out the larger tag and embossed with the Watercolour Bouquet Embossing Folder. I lightly inked over the edges with Aqua Chalk Ink. I adhered Pom Pom trim to the bottom of the tag.
The back I cut out a portion of my business card with the tag die and polk a dot cardstock from the bottom half. I glued both to the back of the tag I had embossed. I added a Ric Rac to finish.
I had so much fun decorating all the tags and I can’t wait to create more. I love the fact that I am using up scraps of cardstock, embellishments that didn’t make it into a project and it gives me a chance to create a little when I don’t have much time.
If you have any questions about this project or comments please leave them below. Also If you haven’t been by Eileen blog to see what the team has been up to you can find that post HERE.

Hi everyone! I’m back with part two of a three part series of tags I created using Eileen Hull’s newest collection along several other dies from past collections. If you missed part one you can find that post HERE. Anyways let’s get started!
The first tag was cut from the largest tag from the Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits. I added scraps of cardstock, circle die with the word flower on it and a fussy cut sprig of flowers and butterfly to the tag.
The back side of the tag I adhered an assortment of cardstock, a fussy cut advertisement circle and flower to the tag.
The second tag is cut from the smallest tag and I cut two of those out and glued back to back since the cardstock was single sided. I added two scraps of cardstock off center of the tag. I glued a leaf sprig from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits and a fussy cut bird to the tag. I also added a “fly away” sticker from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers.
The back side of the tag I adhered a circle die off the side of the tag. I cut off the excess. I added a couple strips of cardstock and a number 4 die from the  Nora Numbers Thinlits to the tag.
I cut out two of the largest tags and glued back to back since it’s single sided cardstock. I applied an Adhesive Sheet to a piece of cardstock and cut a wreath from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlit. I placed off side and wrapped around the tag. I added a fussy cut butterfly with Black Gems down the center of the butterfly. I added the “life is full of beauty” sticker from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers underneath the butterfly.
The back side of the tag I added two flowers, one in the center of the larger flower, from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits. I placed a Gem in the center of the flower and glued a fussy cut sprig of leaves and a bit of cheese cloth to the tag.
I cut out the smallest tag and adhered a strip of cardstock to the center. I dug into my stash of embellishments and added this 3D flower. I have a stash of cut out dies that I like to keep on hand. I found this yellow flower which is from one of Eileen’s collections but I don’t remember which collection it came from?!? Anyways, I added it to the center of the 3D flower and placed a button sticker from my stash in the center of it.
The back side of the tag I adhered a scrap of accounting paper, a scalloped circle die and an image of a butterfly to the tag. I place two Pearls to the center of the butterfly.
I cut out the largest tag and on the front I adhered a fussy cut color strip, an advertisement strip and a leaf sprig.
The back side I glued a couple of pieces of cardstock to the tag. I added a piece of Ric Rac off center and let it hang off both ends of the tag. I adhered a fussy cut lamb with flower to the tag and placed a Gold Gem in the center of the flower. I cut out the number 5 die from the Nora Numbers Thinlits and glued to the bottom edge of the tag.
I cut out the smallest tag. I added a scrap of a lace die to the edge of the tag. I placed the negative of a circle that was cut from a previous project onto the lace. I glued two flowers together from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and placed a Pearl in the center of the flower. I added a couple loops of thread and the flower to the circle.
The back of the tag I adhered a strip of cardstock to the edge of the tag. I fussy cut the smaller postage stamp from cardstock and the larger postage stamp was from stash of embellishments. I glued both to the tag to finish.
I am going to wrap up this post and will share the final post later this week. If you haven’t been by Eileen’s blog lately to see what her team has been up to you can find the latest post HERE. Also if you have any questions or comments please leave them below.

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is surviving the heat and having a wonderful summer. I’ve spent most of my time with family, cooling off in the swimming pool and working on a few home projects that I could no longer put off.
The first thing I did was cut out an assortment of small and large tags from the Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits. Before cutting out several hole reinforcers I applied an Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock. It makes it so much easier if everything is cut out and ready to create.
For the first tag I used the smallest tag. I inked the edges of both sides with a Brown Chalk Ink and added a hole reinforcer on both sides. The house is a fussy cut image that I glued to the tag along with a tiny strip of green cardstock to mimic grass.
The second tag I used the larger tag. I did adhered two tags together since they were both single sided cardstock. I added a decorative piece of cardstock, a circle die and trim to the tag. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of a Mini Paper Doll before adding to the tag. I selected the “Alice” sticker from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers and placed onto the tag.
The back side of the tag I glued a strip of cardstock and a scrap of lace to one side of the tag. I cut a large and small flower from the Windowsill Vase and Flowers Thinlits and a leaf sprig from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits. I inked the edges of all the dies I cut out with Brown Chalk Ink. I added a drop of glue to the back of the smallest flower and placed in the center of the larger flower. I adhered the flower, leaf sprig and a tiny piece of cheese cloth to the tag. I added a Gold Gem to the center of the flower.
I used the smallest tag and backed two tags together since both were single sided cardstock. I cut one of the labels from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits and inked the edges before gluing to the tag. I cut two butterflies in different types of cardstock from the same set of dies. I cut the antennas off of one of the butterflies and added a bead of glue to body/center. I placed on top of the other butterfly. The top butterfly I bent the wings slightly upwards. I added four Pearls to the center of the butterfly.
The back side of the tag was easy since I framed the butterflies on the cardstock before cutting out the tag. I cut a tiny butterfly from the Home Sweet Home Thinlits and added the “my beautiful butterfly” sentiment from the Clippings Cardstock Stickers to finish.
I used the larger tag and backed two tags together since one of the cardstocks was a single sided design. I adhered a patterned piece of cardstock to the center of the tag. I added two scraps of cardstock off center and glued a Mini Paper Doll to the tag. I glued a tiny flower and two tiny leaves, (I’m not sure which die sets these belong to) to the woman and added a Gem to the center of the flower.
Since the back of the tag had a butterfly pattern I kept the embellishments to a minimum. I dug into my stash and added a circle and label die to the tag. I cut out a number 2 from the Nora Alphabet Thinlits. I added a pink sequin, gem and tiny leaf to the 2.
I used the larger tag and backed two tags together. I added a banner to one side of the tag with the edge hanging off. I used a circle punch and punched out the woman with a hat. I added a couple button stickers, the “from the heart” sentiment from Clippings Cardstock Stickers and a small heart die from the Stitched Hearts Thinlits to the tag.
The back side of the tag I adhered an assortment of cardstock to the tag. The stamped label is from one of Eileen’s earlier stamp sets but I don’t remember the name. I glued the label to the tag, added a Mini Paper Doll and three button stickers to finish.
I used the smallest tag and I backed two single sided piece of cardstock together. I fussy cut a leaf sprig from a printable in my stash and adhered to the tag.
I had so much fun digging through my scraps of cardstock and embellishments and creating these tags. This is a great way to use up what you have lying around. I will be sharing more tags from the same project over the next week or two so be sure to stop back by.

Hi everyone! I’m back with my first project of the month for Eileen Hull. The theme for this month is Alphabet Soup. I didn’t use the Nora Alphabet Thinlits on my project but I did use the number four from the Nora Numbers Thinlits. I wanted to create a Fourth of July project that I could display. So I’m going to pass this project off as this month’s theme…wink wink ;-). I also used the Stitched Hearts Thinlits, Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits and the Bookbinding and Label Thinlits(retired) to create this project. Anyways, let’s get started!
First, I applied an Adhesive Sheet to one side of a piece of White Cardstock. I removed the backing from the adhesive sheet and placed a blue and white star patterned cardstock onto the upper half of the card. I did the same steps and placed a red and white striped cardstock onto the bottom half. I used the largest heart (without holes) from the Stitched Hearts Thinlits and cut two hearts out.
Next I placed a small piece of white cardstock onto the Bookbinding and Label Thinlits(retired), placed between cutting plates and ran through the Diecut Machine.
I cut two of the of the bookbinding pieces into three inches lengths. I folded the smaller flap on either side of the two larger folds to create the sides for the pocket. I use a Crop A Dile and punched a hole at the top of each side of pocket.
I adhered both pocket sides to the first heart. I cut the flaps at the bottom at an angle and added a drop on glue. I applied glue to the flaps and placed the other heart on top. I covered the sides of the pocket with a patterned cardstock to cover the fold indentions.
I placed each end of the pipe cleaner through the holes and twisted to secure and create a handle. I adhered a piece of trim in-between the pieces of blue stars and stripe on both sides of the pocket.
I cut the smallest tag from the Ephemera Pocket and Tags Thinlits. I also cut out a number four from the Nora Alphabet Thinlits. I added a patterned piece of cardstock to the center of the tag. I inked the tag and the edges of the heart with a brown chalk ink along with the number four. I glued the four to the tag. I cut several pieces of fiber, Ric Rac and tulle and tied to the handle along with the tag. I made a bow out of thread and adhered to the corner of the pocket and added a star from my stash to finish.
You can change the theme of this pocket to any occasion. Example birthdays, weddings, all the holidays, etc. So many possibilities!

Hi everyone! I’m back with part two of my journal and today I will share how I added the pocket to the inside spine using thePocket and Tags Thinlits. I also used the largest tags from the same dies along with a few others. If you missed part one of this project you can find that post HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!
The first thing I did was string thread through the holes of the spine and tie off. Next I glued the first pocket together except for the bottom flap. I cut the ends of the flap, as shown in the photo below, and placed under the thread.
I added adhesive to the flap and glued over the thread.
I put the other pocket completely together. Next I applied adhesive to both sides and the bottom and placed on the back side of the first pocket to create a tuck spot.
I inked the flowers with brown chalk ink and shaped with a Stylus before putting together and gluing to the top of each tag. I found the seal and small circle dies in my stash so I adhered those over the small hole that’s on the top of each tag.
I embossed two small circles from my stash with the Watercolor Bouquet Embossing Folder. I lightly inked each one before gluing one on each side of the middle pocket. I added a flower and leaves to the center of each circle.
I cut two tabs from the Library Pocket, ATC Cards and Tabs Thinlits and two pieces of patterned cardstock to fit the pockets. I adhered the tabs to the top of each piece of cardstock and added to the pocket. Also I cut a piece of cardstock to fit the middle pocket. Apparently I forgot to take a photo of that step.
I cut three of the circles from the Bookmark, Pocket and Toppers Thinlits. I folded the bookmarks in half and added adhesive to half of each circle and placed on each bookmark to create a tab.
I added flowers and leaves to each bookmark before placing in the pocket to finish.

Hi everyone! Did you catch Eileen Hull‘s release party Monday? She showed off her newest collection and the team’s projects from the show floor at Creativation. If you missed the live and would like to see what you missed you can find that video HERE.
This was one of the projects that Eileen shared Monday. I created the journal cover featuring the Garden Gate Journal Diecut, along with a couple other diecuts from the same collection. Anyways, let’s get started!
I cut a front and a back of the journal from Matboard using the Garden Gate Journal Diecut. I embossing the covers with the with a retired embossing folder by Tim Holtz. Side note, I did adhere a brown cardstock to the back outside of the cover before embossing. The embossing folder has a wood texture like the inside of a tree. The packaging didn’t have the name but had the item number 666049 if you are interested.
I inked over the embossed areas with an assortment of different shades of brown and black chalk inks. That is my preference of inks to use. I’m a firm believer in using what you have on hand and if you have something different use it.
I also cut cardstock for the back inside cover of the journal. I inked the edges with a brown chalk ink and glued to the journal. For the front I cut cardstock slightly shorter than the tallest picket of the garden gate. I inked the edges of the cardstock. Then I added adhesive and placed onto the gate.
The spine I “peeled” off some of the Matboard to make it thinner. I applied glue and adhered together. The “peeling” of some of the Matboard flattens out the spine.
I had received cuts of the Page Edges Thinlits on white cardstock so I painted it with some of my favorite paint colors and let dry.
I cut two pieces of patterned cardstock an inch high (I think…I forgot to measure) and 5 inches wide. I applied glue to both sides and the bottom of each piece of cardstock and placed on the inside of the front and back cover to create pockets. I selected two of the page edge dies and adhered to the top of each pocket. I added light blue gems to the center of each flower on the page edge die.
For the outside of the cover I dug into my stash and found this bouquet of flowers that I had fussy cut from some patterned cardstock. I added that to the garden gate and glued two gold gems to the center of the flowers to finish the cover.
If you have any questions or comments please leave them below. If you haven’t been by Eileen’s blog lately you can find the latest post HERE. Also be sure to come back Friday for part two of how I add the pocket to the inside of the spine and create tags.

Hi everyone! I’m back with my first project of the month for Eileen Hull. I created two quick tags using the largest tag die from the Waterfall and Tags Thinlits. Tags are a great way to use up scraps of cardstock and those random bits of lace or embellishments that cover your desk. Anyways, let’s get started!
First I gathered up scrap of cardstock that coordinated with the color of the tag. I inked the edges of the scraps with a combo of blue and brown chalk inks and adhered to the tag.
The “W is for Wings” is a printable, the butterfly is a chipboard piece and the “do not crush” sentiment is from one of Tim Holtz’s collections. I glued all to the tag to finish.
The second tag I used an assortment of cardstock and a little piece of ledger paper which I inked with blue chalk ink. I adhered all to the tag.
I added a Mini Paper Dolls, a clock face and floral chipboard pieces, oval scalloped frame and the “five-O’clock” sentiment to the tag. I used thread to create a bow and adhered underneath the sentiment to finish. Oh how I love creating tags and have already started more! I’ll be sharing those soon.
