Easy Snowflake Card Tutorial Using Notebook Diecut

December 10, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back today with another quick and easy card. I used a few leftover pieces from past projects and the Notebook Diecut to create this. Anyways, let’s get started!

I cut the card out of the Notebook Diecut. I folded in half to create the card base.

These are the pieces I had leftovers. The seal is from the Seal Switchlits Embossing Folder and Thinlits. The snowflake is from the Snowflake Impresslits (retired). And the circle is from the Bookmark, Pocket and Toppers Thinlits. I lightly inked the seal with a chalk ink and adhered each piece on top of each other.

I glued the seal to the base of the card and added a pearl to the center of the snowflake. I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of white cardstock.

I placed “warm” and “wishes” thinlits, from the Starlit Village Thinlits (retired) on top of the cardstock. I ran through the Diecut Machine. I removed the backing from the Adhesive Sheet and placed the sentiment onto the card to finish. This card came together so quickly!

Christmas Matchbox Tutorial with Stacking Drawer Diecut

September 17, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a Christmas themed project using the Stacking Drawer Diecut by Eileen Hull. I am also playing along with Sizzix’s #12DaysofSizzix on Instagram. Each day on Instagram there’s a different theme and today’s theme is “Last Minute Gifts”. There is lots of inspiration being shared each day and the best part there will be prizes. Anyways, let’s get started!

I covered Chipboard with Adhesive Sheets and plain and patterned cardstock on both sides. I cut two “sleeves” out from the Stacking Drawer Diecut.

I glued the “sleeves” together.

I butted the “sleeves” openings against each other. Then, I glued a strip around the center to create an “extra long sleeve”.

I cut two strips of patterned cardstock and wrapped/glued around the “sleeve”.

I cut the circle from the Ornament Box Diecut (retired). I lightly inked it with brown chalk ink. Then, I adhered it to the top of the “sleeve”.

As the same steps as with the “sleeve” I cut two drawers and put those together. A side note, I “peel” the cardstock/chipboard from the tabs. This helps the tabs lay flatter when gluing the bottom into the drawer. I cut two bottoms from cardstock and glue one inside of each box.

I glued the drawers back to back. I measured and cut a piece of cardstock to cover the bottom of the drawers.

I cut out a Santa and all the coordinating pieces from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I used an adhesive sheet for the small pieces. It made putting the Santa together so much easier. I also lightly inked areas of the Santa to add a little dimension. I glued the Santa to the top of the “sleeve”.

I cut a few snowflakes from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. I added them to the “sleeve” along with a gem and enamel dot to the center of each. I finished by adding some clear sequins around the Santa.

I added chocolate to the drawers but it would be great for jewelry and trinkets too. It’s the perfect last minute gift!

If you made one of these matchboxes, what would you put inside of it? Let me know in the comments below.

Reminder, check out and play along on Instagram with Sizzix. Be sure to use the hashtag #12DaysofSizzix if sharing a project on your Instagram page. And don’t forget about a chance that you could win some great prizes.

Flower Baby Layout

September 13, 2019
Hi everyone! I’m back today after being gone on vacation! My husband and I spent an extra long weekend at the beach. It was fun but I have to admit that it was as hot if not hotter there in Panama City than at home. All we wanted to do was stay either in the ocean or pool the whole time we were outside…not that was a bad thing to do.😎
I want to share a layout I created from a photo of “Little Miss” when she was around a year old. 

I started by inking my glass tray with Melon and Sunshine Blends Inks , adding water to each ink and placing a 8″x8″ piece of Watercolor Paper ( that I cut down to size) into the ink mixture. Once I had the paper covered I removed and let dry.
I adhered a paper doily with adhesive to the watercolor paper. 
I then placed the Swirl Dot Art Screen onto the watercolor paper and applied Matte Extra Heavy Gel with a Spatula . I removed the art screen and let dry. I inked three scraps of leftover watercolor paper with a mix of water and Sunshine Blends Ink (2 scraps of paper) and Leaf Blends Ink (1 scrap of paper). Once all were dry I adhered two of the watercolor papers horizontally to layout.
 Next I inked the glass tray with Wildberry Blends Ink, added water to the ink, loaded a paint brush with the ink mixture and splattered the watercolor paper. Also I added a piece of ric rac to the watercolor paper.
I inked the Botanical Mini Molding Mat with Leaf Blends Ink and stamped onto the inked Sunshine Blends scrap of watercolor paper. 

Once dry I adhered to the back corner of photo and glued both slightly off center of watercolor paper. 
I placed Crinoline Fabric on the flowers and leaves diecuts from the Book Mark, Tag and Pocket, Journaling Card, Flowers and Leaves Diecuts and Bookplate, Hinges and Label Diecuts and cut out one set of flowers and a leaf. I inked the glass tray with Wildberry, Frog and Sunshine Blends Inks, added water and placed the flowers in Wildberry and the leaf in Frog and one small flower into the Sunshine ink mixtures. Once completely covered I removed and let dry.

I add a brad to center of the flowers, adhered the leaf to back of the flower and to the lower corner of photo. Next I added several loops of green metallic thread to flower. I also added another flower to the top corner of the photo and adhered sequin to center of the flower. 
I inked a chipboard letter “B” with Sunshine Blends Ink an let dry. Next I inked the letter completely with Top Boss Embossing Stamp Pad Clear, applied Opalescent Embossing Powder to letter and set with a Heat Tool. I added a Foam Dots to back of letter and placed on the corner of the photo.
Even though the quality wasn’t the greatest when I printed out this photo ( I just couldn’t throw it away) I still think the layout turned out pretty cute! As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Lucky Shamrock Tag

March 1, 2019
Hi everyone and Happy March the 1st! I wanted to start off the month by sharing a shamrock tag I created!

I started by cutting Good Luck on Ivory Cardstock 6.25″x3.125″ and punching a hole at the top center of the tag.

I inked a glass tray with ColorBox Blends Leaf Ink, added water to the ink, loaded paint brush and splatter tag with mixture. I repeated Step 2 but with ColorBox Blends: Frog Ink and I let the tag dry.

I inked the Shamrock Rubber Stamp with Wicked Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of textured green cardstock. I fussy cut the shamrock image out and adhered an acrylic heart gem to the center of the shamrock image.

I inked the “lucky” sentiment from the Dress Up Stamp and Cut Set and stamp onto white cardstock, cut out and ink edges with Ice Jade Chalk Ink and cut a banner from the  piece of green cardstock, emboss with the Waffle Embossing Folder (retired). Next I inked the edges and over the embossed area with Ice Jade Chalk Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the banner and the banner to the tag. I glued the shamrock image underneath the sentiment with a small portion hanging off the tag.

I finished off the tag by cutting three 6″ pieces of lace and threaded through the hole at the top of the tag, tied off with thread and adhere a button to the lace. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Friday is awesome and enjoy creating!
