Birthday Slimline Card with Journal Diecut and Faux Postage Thinlits

May 30, 2024

Hi there! I’m back this week with a birthday slimline card I made. I used the Journal Diecut by Eileen Hull to create the base of the card. I also used the Faux Postage Thinlits, by Eileen, and the bear from Doodle Christmas Thinlits by Olivia Rose. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of White Cardstock in half, placed slightly inside the cut line of the Journal Diecut and secured with washi tape before placing in between the cutting plates and running through the Diecut Machine. This will create the base for the slimline card.

Second, I cut one of the Faux Postage Thinlits.

Third, I cut two cardstocks, one plain slightly larger than the patterned piece of cardstock and adhered both the card base.

Next I cut the Faux Postage Thinlits a part. Since the postage stamp pieces aren’t the same height of the card I “pieced” those together and I will cover the gap with a sentiment.

Fifth, I placed the label stamp from the Simple Sayings Stamps Set onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of cardstock. I followed the same steps for the “Just Celebrate” stamp and stamped inside the label image.

Sixth, I fussy cut the sentiment out and matted with two different colors of cardstock and glued to the card. I also added a few sequins to the sentiment.

Seventh, I cut out the bear, snoot, nose, cheeks, hat, present and bow from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits. Who says you have to use a Christmas set of dies for Christmas? I changed up the colors for something cheery and fun.

Eighth, I lightly inked over the bear with chalk ink and put together. Side note, I did use an adhesive sheet on the tiny pieces so it would make it easier to put together.

Also I did cut the hat down to make it look more like a “party hat” and added a pom pom to the top. I folded the arms of the bear so it’s holding the present. I glued the bear to a double matted cardstock and glued to the card. I finished by adding a couple of sequins.

This card was easy to put together and it will fit into a number 10 (business size) envelope. If you have any questions about this card please leave a comment below.

Pink and White Storage Box

March 14, 2024

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.

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.

Chapter 4 Release Party Blog Hop: Lets Party Album!

October 1, 2020

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be a part of Eileen Hull’s Chapter 4 Release Party! There are two new ScoreBoards releases from Eileen Hull and Sizzix! Are you ready for a new 3D Bigz L Tea Cup die? It can be filled with teabags and other assorted goodies or use the Tea Cup cutout on the front of a card there are so many possibilities. Also new is the XL Post Box, a fun little box that goes together in 10 seconds and has a slit in the top to tuck a gift card. You will have fun embellishing in your style to create holiday treats for everyone on your list!

I used the Teacup and Spoon Diecut to create a fun little Birthday Party Album along with several of Eileen’s older diecuts (several that are retired): Banners and Pennants, Bookplate, Hinges and Label, Credit Card Sleeve and Tags and Sweet Treats for You Diecuts.

I cut out six tea cups, backed two with Chipboard to make the front and back covers sturdy, from the Let’s Celebrate Collection. Also most of the collection is double sided.

I also cut out two of the “walls” (lack of a better word) and cut “flaps” off and adhered together to create little pockets for some of the inside pages.

The tea bag diecuts I cut out several and added thread bows and I cut banners out from the Banners and Pennants Diecuts and placed on top of the tea bag diecut and stapled together.

I decorated the cover and inside with a mix of diecuts. I also fussy cut a ton of images from the paper pad and added sequins and pearls to the pages.

I cut several pieces of lace, Ric Rac and fiber and tied all of the teacup together to finish the album. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

To hop along with the Chapter 4 Release you can find the rest of the Inspiration Team and Educators projects HERE.

Cheers! Box

November 2, 2019
Hi everyone! I’m back today with my project for Momenta! Since I have several upcoming birthdays I decided I would created a gift box.


I started by taking a part a small box that I had on hand. I folded in one section and place in the embossing folder from the Happy Birthday Stamp and Emboss Set and run through the Freestyle Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. I completed the same steps for the other side of the box. 



I glued the box back together and inked over the embossed areas with an assortment of chalk inks.


I cut and adhered a piece of patterned cardstock from the Watercolor Metallic Paper Pad to fit the lid of the box.


I stamped the sentiment “Cheers!” from the Happy Birthday Stamp and Emboss Set and placed one of the Nested Oval Borders Metal Diecuts over the sentiment and cut out with the diecut machine.


I cut another oval diecut out from another piece of patterned cardstock from the same paper pad and glued to the back of the sentiment. I also stamped a party hat onto a piece of White Cardstock and fussy cut out. 


I added Foam Pop Dots to the back of the diecut and placed on top of the lid. 


I added to the party hat and a flower and leaf punch (from my stash) sequins and a gems before gluing to the sentiment. If you have any questions about this project please let me know. Also if you aren’t following Momenta you can find them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube.

Oakland is One Birthday Banner

October 17, 2019
Hi everyone! I’m back this week with a banner I created for my grandson’s first birthday using Momenta stickers and cardstock! My grandson actually turned one on the 3rd but with my son and daughter in law moving into a new house they postponed his party until the end of the month so they could have everyone see their house and celebrate Oakland’s birthday.


I started by cutting a banner pattern from white paper. The larger banner is 8″x 5 1/8″ and the smaller banner is 6″x 4 1/4″. I cut a “v” in the bottom of each banner patten. 

I picked and off white and olive color cardstock from the 8″x8″ Gemstones Paper Pad and cut a total of six banners, three of each size, and adhered the smaller on top of the larger banner.
I selected from the Wood Print Sans Serif 4 Inch Stickers and added the letters “O”, “N”, and “E” to each banner.
I used the rest of the off white and yellow cardstock to create the elephant, giraffe and lion diecut. Before cutting I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock. Then I cut each of the diecuts with the Freestyle Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and put together before gluing to the banner.
I punched holes on each side of each banner and then strung cording through each hole and cut and tied several ribbons to each end of the banners. And there you have it! I can’t wait to celebrate with my little nugget his first birthday! As always if you have questions about this project please let me know. 
Also if you aren’t following Momenta on their social medias you can find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Lets Celebrate! Card

November 14, 2018

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a card I created for Eileen’s birthday that was a couple of weeks ago! 

I started by cutting a Ornate, Flip-its #2 Card Diecut (retired) from double sided patterned card. 

On the back of the card I adhered to strips of patterned cardstock and printed from my computer the sentiments “It’s Your Birthday!” and “Lets Celebrate”. I cut out the “It’s Your Birthday!” sentiment and glued to the strip.

From a piece of vellum I cut the Spellbinders Beaded Circles Diecut (retired but found a few on Amazon) and adhered to the flip part of the card along with two strips of patterned cardstock.

The digital image of the vintage women I purchased from Lisa’s Altered Art which you can find HERE. I printed and fussy cut the image of the women with one of the party hat out and adhered to the card. 

I added Stickles to the collars and sleeves of each of the women’s outfits and let dry.

I cut from various patterned cardstock a flower and leaf sprig from the Flower and Leaves Journaling Cards Diecuts, inked the edges of the flower with gold ink and covered the leaf sprig completely with Stickles (let dry first) and adhere both to the corner of the card.

I added the sequin, Glossy Dot and thread to the flower and finished by gluing the sentiment to the bottom of the card. My card got to Eileen a “little late” but that was ok because she got to celebrate her birthday just a little bit longer. 😉 As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Wednesday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Dog Gone Birthday Card

August 6, 2018

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick card I created with y’all today! I had actually started the base of this card a couple of years ago (I only had the pink patterned cardstock on the base of the card) and wound up putting it a side and then completely misplacing it. 😳 I came across it while looking for something else and decided to finally finish it. I started by inking the edges of the card with a chalk ink and then I added the scalloped diecut, banners and I printed the sentiment from the computer.

The girl and dog images are from Lisa’s Altered Art on etsy. I printed and fussy cut the image out and adhered to the card. I cut from patterned cardstock the little party hats which I added to each dog.

I dug into my flower stash and added store bought paper flowers and I also adhered two flowers that I had leftover from a pervious project. These I had cut from Crinoline fabric using the Journaling Cards, Flowers and Leaves Diecuts,inked with ClearSnap ink and added two Glossy Dots. There you have it! A quick and simple card that should have been finished a couple of years ago!😂 As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Also I would like to submit this card for the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge: #346-#347
Crafter’s Castle: Challenge #8

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is great and enjoy creating!
