Thinking of You Peacock Card

May 1, 2024

Hi everyone and Happy 1st of May! As the weather starts warming up and my time indoors is less, you know gardening and time in the pool, I wanted to share a quick and easy card I created. I used Eileen Hull‘s Faux Postage Thinlits and the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) to create this card in under 15 minutes. So let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of Blue Cardstock in half and placed the “fold line” slightly inside of the of the rectangle thinlit from the Faux Postage Thinlits before running through the Diecut Machine. Side note, I did use wash tape to hold the thinlit in place while running through the diecut machine. This keeps the thinlit from shifting.

Second, I selected the peacock cardstock from the Flourish 6″x6″ Paper Pad (retired). I had already cut off a portion of the cardstock to create a journaling spot and the cardstock didn’t completely cover all of the Faux Postage Thinlit so I centered the image onto the thinlit and ran through the diecut machine.

Third, I cut a mat from White Cardstock and adhered to the back of the peacock image.

Fourth, I glued the peacock image to the card base.

Fifth, I used a scrap of Watercolor Paper, placed onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, placed the journaling box stamp from Simple Sayings Stamps Set, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto the watercolor paper.

I removed the journaling box and placed the “Thinking of You” stamp sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped inside of the journaling box image.

Sixth, I fussy cut the image with Scissors and adhered to the bottom corner of the card. I cut three flowers and two leaf sprigs from the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com), shaped the flowers with a Stylus and glued two together and adhered one leaf sprig to the back before placing it to the lower corner of the sentiment. The other flower I cut one of the leaves off from the leaf sprig and glued to the back of the flower before adding to upper corner of the sentiment. I glued two gems to the center of each flower to finish.

The Faux Postage Thinlits can take any large graphic image on a piece of cardstock, you know the ones that you really aren’t sure what to do with it, and and turn it into a simple card. Or you can remove a few of the “postage stamps” and replace them for a completely different look. So many possibilities!

Love You Shaker Card

February 13, 2024

Hi everyone! Since Valentine’s Day is only a day away I want to share a shaker card I created using Eileen Hull’s Embroidery Hoop Diecut and a few of her other thinlits. So let’s get started!

First, I placed the Embroidery Hoop Diecut onto a piece of cardstock from the Rouge 6″x8″ Paper Collection and did the same steps for a piece of Matboard. I cut the top part off each hoop.

Second, I cut two of the hoops from Foam Adhesive Sheets and cut the top off both hoops.

Third, I cut a 6″x12″ piece of cardstock from the Foundation 1 Rouge Cardstock and folded in half to create a 6″x6″ card base. I removed the backing from the adhesive foam and placed on top of each other and placed onto the card.

Fourth, I adhered the inner circle of the hoop inside of the outer hoop.

Fifth, I placed an assortment of sequins, gems and Micro Beads within the foam hoop. Next, trace the outer circle of the hoop onto a piece of Acetate and cut out. Remove the backing from the foam hoop and place the circle acetate onto the hoop.

Sixth, apply adhesive and place the circle from the hoop, that’s cut from patterned cardstock over the foam hoop.

Seventh, I cut to fit a fancy pom pom trim to fit around the hoop and adhered.

Eighth, I cut an envelope and smaller leaf (Rouge Paper Collection) and the small, medium and large size hearts (felt) from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I lightly inked the edges of the envelope and glued together and adhered to the corner of the hoop.

Ninth, I cut another piece of cardstock slightly smaller than the envelope, used a Corner Rounder on the top since it will be seen and lightly inked the edges. I cut the “love” sentiment from the Journaling Words Thinlits (retired) and the letters “Y”, “O” and “U” from the Tiled Alphanumeric Thinlits and placed onto the card and then placed in the envelope.

Tenth, I glued the medium and large size hearts to the upper side of the hoop and the small heart to the corner of the envelope. I added sequins, loops of thread, pearl top pins and a crocheted flower with the leaf from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits to finish the card.

This shaker card the theme can easily be changed to suit any occasion, birthday, get well, thinking of you, just because, etc. Question, do you make cards to give? If you do or don’t why? Leave your comment below.

Love You Heart Card

January 30, 2024

Hi everyone! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I would like to share a quick card I created using scraps I had laying on my craft table and the small and medium hearts from Eileen Hull’s Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. So, let’s get started!

First, I gathered up an assortment of scraps of cardstocks. I also had this scalloped card base that I found in my stash. I had cut it from a diecut by Sizzix but can’t remember the actually name of the die and I can’t find it on Sizzix’s website so I am assuming it is a retired diecut.

Second, I cut the pink piece of cardstock down to fit the base of the card. I placed in it in the Doily 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Diecut Machine. Next, I lightly inked over the raised areas of the embossed cardstock with a hot pink chalk ink and applied Ivory Luster Wax over the inked areas to tone down the hot pink.

Third, I glued the embossed image to the card base. I lightly inked the edges of the scallops with a dark brown chalk ink.

Fourth, I cut two strips of cardstock, one slightly smaller than the other, the width of the embossed image and adhered both into the card base. I cut the smallest and medium size hearts from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I lightly inked around the edges of the hearts with the hot pink ink and glued both onto the strips of cardstock.

Fifth, I cut the “love you” sentiment from a cut a part, inked the edges and adhered to the hearts along with a sequin to finish the card.

Now how easy was that? Will you be making Valentine’s Day cards to give or not? Let me know in the comments below. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen Hull’s blog lately to see what her teams has been up to you can find the latest post HERE.

Happy Holidays Snowflake Mini Slimline Card

December 5, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a very quick card I created. I was in the “moment” of making this card that I completely forgot to take any step out photos of the process. This card centers on a leftover “Happy Holidays” sentiment from my Holiday Snowman Mini Slimline Card I posted about a few days ago. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of 6″x6″ snowflake patterned cardstock in half to create the base of the card. I cut the “Happy Holidays” sentiment down and inked the edges with a chalk ink. Also the sentiment is from my Sparkle Snowman Stamp Set which can be found at Blank Page Muse.

Second, I cut two labels and two snowflakes from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits. I embossed the smaller label with the Tablecloth Embossing Folder, lightly inked with a chalk ink before gluing with the sentiment on top of the larger labels.

Third, I glued the first snowflake die to the corner of the label. The second snowflake I added a Foam Pop Dot to the back before placing on top of the other snowflake. I finished by adding a flat back pearl to the center of the snowflake and a couple of sequins to the card base.

If you have any questions or comments about this card please leave it in the comment section below. Also if you aren’t following Blank Page Muse on their social media site you can find them: Facebook. Instagram, Pinterest, Blank Page Muse Website and Blank Page Muse Blog.

Holiday Snowman Mini Slimline Card

December 2, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a mini slimline card I created using my very own Sparkles Snowman Stamp Set which can be found over at Blank Page Muse. A mini slimline card measures 3 1/4″x6 1/4″ but I have always used a 6″x6″ piece of folded cardstock to create a 3″x6″ card base. This is a lot easier and you can get four cards out of one sheet of 12″x12″ cardstock or you can use a 6″x6″ pack of cardstock like I did. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I placed the snowman image onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with water proof Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of Watercolor Paper.

Second, I used an assortment of watercolors, inks, pastels and colored pencils to fill in the face of the snowman and once dry I cut out. I added a white diamond dot to each eye.

Third, I folded a piece of cardstock in half from the Cyan Consortium Paper Pack and cut another piece down as a mat for the snowman.

Fourth, I placed the “Happy Holiday” sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of watercolor paper.

I also cut a piece of the blue cardstock that I matted the snowman image to mat the sentiment and placed Foam Pop Dots on the back before placing slightly off the upper edge of the card.

I added snowflake dies, with a sequin and a gem to each, to the sentiment and face of the snowman. I finished by placing clear sequins in random spots on the card.

I’ll be creating more projects with this stamp set so be sure to come back.

As always if you have any questions about this project leave a comment below. Or if you have used this stamp set please share your projects over on Blank Page Muse’s Facebook Group. I would love to see them. Also if you aren’t following Blank Page Muse on their other social medias you can find them on:

Warm Wishes Slimline Card

October 17, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with my project for Eileen Hull and this month’s theme is anything Halloween or Fall. I choose to do something Fall because I had a card base already cut out and it was screaming at me to make a card. I used the Journal Diecut and the Floral Silhouette Thinlits (only on Scrapbook.com) to create this card. So let’s get started!

I know I’ve shared the dimensions of a slimline card before but I will share again a traditional slimline card measures 3 5/8″x8 5/8″ which is about the size of the Journal Diecut.

I folded a piece of Kraft Cardstock in half and place slightly below the cutline. I also used wash tape to hold the cardstock in place as I run it through the diecut machine.

I’m a firm believer in using up what you have and since I had a pile of cardstock scraps I dug through those and came up with some that had the “look” of fall. I arranged and adhered layers of patterned cardstocks to the base of the card.

I had a 12″x12″ sheet of floral cut a parts with an assortment of sentiments and I picked the “Warm Wishes” sentiment because it had the look of Fall. I cut a piece of cardstock slightly larger than the sentiment and glued both together before adding Foam Pop Dots to the back and placing onto the card base.

From the Floral Silhouette Thinlits I cut out three of the larger, two middle and four small flowers along with five centers and three of the leaf sprigs. I shaped the larger flowers with a Stylus and added adhesive to the back and layered on top of each other. I shaped three of the smallest and one of the middle flowers, gluing one of the smallest flowers on the middle flower before adding all around the larger flower. I finished by adding the centers to each flower, leaf sprigs and a bow made from cording.

I had a leftover middle and small sized flowers which I glued together, added a center and leaf sprig to complete the card.

I plan on making more slimline cards and using up the cut a parts so I will have a stash of cards on hand for different occasions.

Blue Delft Box with Greeting Cards

September 19, 2023

Hi everyone! This month it’s a big box bonanza over on Eileen Hull’s blog! I had two 8.5″x11″ sheets of this blue and white floral cardstock that I wanted to make something with and I thought the Card Caddy Diecut and an assortment of thinlits by Eileen would make the perfect gift box of cards. I limited the color pallet of the embellishments on the cards to shades of light green and different shades of blue since the base of each card is white. Anyways, this is my take for this month’s challenge. So let’s get started!

I cut a piece of Mat Board down since my cardstock was smaller than the mat board, applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides and placed the patterned cardstock on what will be the front and a solid cardstock on what will be the inside of the box. I placed the larger piece of mat board between the plates and run through the Diecut Machine. I did the same steps for the two smaller pieces which are the sides of the box.

The flaps/tabs on the sides and bottom I “peeled” some of the cardstock and mat board off before adhering both to either side of the box. Side note, this makes the flaps/tabs lay flatter when gluing to the box.

I cut out labels and flowers from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits. I layered the labels and adhered to the center of the box. I shaped the flowers and leaves with a Stylus before adhering all to the center of the label.

I folded White Cardstock in half and placed slightly below the cutline of the panel thinlit, this die can be found in the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits, and cut out a total of four cards.

I used the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and embossed strips of cardstock for each of the cards. For the first card I used the tag, labels, leaves and flowers from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits and cut out the word “hello” from the Alphanumeric Thinlit. I also used the oval die from the Journaling Card, Envelope and Windows Thinlits to decorate the card base.

For the second card I used the same supplies with a slightly different layout but used a “hi” sentiment instead.

The third card I changed it up a bit and used the negative parts of the letters to spell “hi” and the floral and circle tags. I also shaped the small flowers and leaves and adhered to the sentiment.

The fourth and final card I used the same supplies as the third card but I used the negative letters that spell “hey” and glued to the base of the card.

The cards fit perfectly inside the box laying down.

Or standing up.

You are the Sweetest Slimline Card

July 24, 2023

Hi everyone! I want to share a quick and cheery slimline card I created using Eileen Hull’s Journal Diecut, Mini Slimline and Tickets Thinlits, Ornament Box Diecut and Tablecloth Embossing Folder. So let’s get started!

First, I placed a folded piece of cardstock slightly below the cut line of the Journal Diecut, sandwiched between the plates and run through the Diecut Machine. A side note the slimline card size is 3 1/2″x8 1/2″ and the Journal Diecut is the perfect size to create this size card.

I cut a piece of patterned cardstock slightly smaller than the card base, rounded the corner with a Corner Punch before adhering to the base. I cut a polk-a-dot strip of cardstock the length of the base and glued onto the front.

I placed the Mini Slimline and Tickets Thinlits onto a piece of patterned cardstock and run through the Diecut Machine. I glued off center of the base. From another project I had leftover tickets that I added. I cut a circle from the Ornament Box Diecut and embossed with the Tablecloth Embossing Folder I placed slightly off center of the tickets, added a lemon image I had fussy cut from cardstock and a “You are the Sweetest” sentiment from Simple Stories: Lemon Twist to finish the card.

Happy Day Swan Card

April 13, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a mini slimline card that I created using Eileen Hull’s new Mini Slimline and Tickets Thinlits and a few other of her other products. So let’s get started!

First, I folded a piece of 6″x6″ White Cardstock in half to create a card base. Next I cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the base of the card, placed into the Tablecloth 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Diecut Machine. I lightly inked the raised embossed areas, placed Foam Pop Dots to the back before placing onto the card base.

I cut one strip of tickets and one background from the Mini Slimline and Tickets Thinlits and adhered the tickets on top of the background.

Next, I glued the tickets onto the card base.

I had received this swan medallion in a swap I had participated a couple of years ago and instead of hoarding it I decided I would use it on the card. I did change the sentiment that was on it by placing a “happy day” sticker over the other sentiment. I glued the medallion off center of the card.

I dug into my stash of flowers and leaves, I had cut these from the Folio Page Pocket and Flowers Thinlits, I shaped and glued two of the flowers on top of each other along with a sequin and a gem and added leaf sprigs before adhering to the corner of the medallion. Side note…why does it seem like when you photograph something you never see if there is a piece of fussy or in this case a hair attached until after all photos are taken and you are editing and you can’t do anything about it? Why?

But anyways, there you have it! A finished card! 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.

Let’s Make a Snowman Card with the Skinny Mini Book Box Diecut

December 7, 2022

Hi everyone! I’m back today with card I created using my very own Sparkles Snowman Happy Holidays Stamp Set. You can find it over at Blank Page Muse HERE. It’s still a pinch me moment that I actually have a stamp set! I also used the Skinny Mini Book Box and a few other thinlits, embossing folder and etc. which I’ll share as I get more into making this card. Let’s get started!

First off, I folded a piece of cardstock in half and placed slightly below the cut line on the Skinny Mini Book Box and run through the Diecut Machine.

I used several scraps of plain and patterned cardstock and adhered to the front of the card base. I cut a strip of cardstock and placed into the 3D Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and run through the diecut machine. I lightly inked over the raised edges before gluing to the card base.

I placed the snowman face and sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto a piece Watercolor Paper and cut out both.

I watercolored the snowman and once dry added Stickles to the image.

Next I matted the snowman image before adding to the card base and placed a White Diamond Dotz on each eye.

I cut out several snowflakes from the following thinlits and diecut: Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits, Doodle Christmas Thinlits and 3D Impresslits Snowflake Diecut (retired). I added one snowflake to the base before gluing the matted snowman on top of that.

I layered two of the snowflakes, added Foam Pop Dots to the backs of two and placed onto the base. I glued the smaller snowflake directly to the base, added gems to the center of each one.

I finished by matting the sentiment and adhering underneath the snowman image and adding loops of metallic to the snowflakes.
