Create a Quick and Easy Rolodex with Torn Edges Dies

Hi everyone! I meant to get this posted before going on vacation but it didn’t happen. Then when I got back home we were having record break temps close to a 100 degrees…hotter than Florida…and one of the two floor unit air conditioners decided to die. I spent time helping my husband install a window unit, cleaning and catching up on laundry. Anyways, I want to share a quick and easy rolodex I created.

A decorative piece featuring floral designs, vintage elements, and the phrase 'Living for Today.' The background includes various printed texts and patterns.

I used the Torn Edges CardLab Etched Dies for the rolodex from the Esther Glas Turn the Page Collection for Spellbinders. If you didn’t see an earlier post on a tag I created using the same collection you can find it HERE.

A collection of decorative tags and labels featuring months of the year and the word 'SPLENDID', with a mix of pastel colors and playful designs.

I cut out a rolodex and a torn element from cardstock and inked all edges with brown chalk ink.

Three decorative die-cut templates in various colors and designs, placed on a light background. The templates include an orange frame, a pastel colored sheet with lists, and a black patterned cutout featuring letters and symbols.

I selected the border with all the square “holes” from the Keepsake Capsule Borders Etched Dies.

Graphic design of a layout featuring brown sections with various cut-out shapes and embossed text that reads 'SEEN - NOTED - COLLECTED - DOCUMENTED'.

I fussy cut a section of florals from a piece of cardstock and glued to the rolodex along with the torn element . I applied a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of cardstock and cut the border out. I removed the backing from the diecut and placed off center of the rolodex.

A decorative paper project featuring floral designs and printed text, including a list of names and numbers, alongside a copper die cutting tool.

I inked the edges of the “living for today” sentiment and adhered to the center of the rolodex. I added more fussy cut florals to the sentiment.

A decorative journal cover featuring the phrase 'Living for Today' surrounded by colorful floral designs and film strip elements, with a textured background and vintage typography.

I fussy cut a butterfly from cardstock. I bent the wings of butterfly and added a drop of glue to the center placed onto the sentiment to finish.

This was definitely a quick and easy project and I’m already planning my next rolodex. If you have any comments or questions about this project please leave them below.
