Eileen Hull: Love and Prayers Card

June 28, 2018

Hi everyone! I’m back with a quick card I created using some of Eileen Hull’s newest diecuts from her Book Club Chapter 2 Collection. I started by folding a 6″x12″ piece of patterned cardstock in half to create a 6″x6″ card base.

I cut flowers on white cardstock from the Journaling Cards, Flowers and Leaves Diecut. I inked a glass tray with Tutu ColorBox Blends, watered down and painted three of the flowers. Once dry I shaped, adhered together and added a flatback pearl to the center of the flower. I cleaned the tray off and inked with Frog ColorBox Blends, watered down and painted a leaf and once dry shaped and adhered to the back of the flower.

I cut from a piece of gold vellum a scalloped journaling card from the Journaling Cards, Flowers and Leaves Diecut. I also cut from white cardstock the words “love” and “prayers” from the Journaling Words Diecuts.

I cut a part a paper doily and adhered to the back of 3″x 5 1/2″ piece of patterned cardstock and adhered to the card base. Next I added the vellum journaling card, words and the & shape to the card.

I finished off by adding loops of thread and cording to the back of the flower before adhering to the card.

Eileen Hull: Love Notes Card

June 19, 2018

Hi everyone! I’m back with another project I created this past January for Eileen Hull’s newest diecut collection called Book Club Chapter 2 to display at Creativation. At the time I made this card Valentine’s Day was around the corner but this could be used as an anniversary or just because I love you card too. To get started I folded a piece of 6″x12″ patterned cardstock in half to create a 6″x6″ base for the card.

First I layered different pieces of cardstock to the card base before adhering to the card along with a gold paper heart doily.

I cut two strips of cardstock 2″x6″ and 3″x6″ and with a decorative punch I punched a border along the length of each piece of  cardstock. I found the center of each piece of cardstock and cut down the center leaving about an inch from the bottom not cut.

The 3″x6″ piece of cardstock I adhered the sides and bottom to the card base. I did leave an inch on each side not glued to the card because this will need to be “rolled”. Complete the same steps on the 2″x6″ piece of cardstock as the 3″x6″ piece.

Before “stuffing” the pocket I cut one of the Heart Journaling Card Dies from white cardstock, lightly inked the edges  and adhered to the card base along with a piece of vellum.

I used the Graphic 45 Mon Amour Tags and Pockets and Mon Amour Decorative Chipboard embellishments also on the card. The G45 envelope I added one of the mini hearts from the Heart Journaling Card Dies as a closure to hold the envelope flap down.

To finish I added tulle, gold thread and pearl sprays to fill the inside of the pocket. Be sure to stop by Eileen Hull’s blog to see the latest Book Club Chapter 2 projects from the Inspiration Team!

Happy Dad Day Card

May 17, 2018

Hi everyone! I thought I would share a quick Father’s Day card I created for ClearSnap. I started with a 5″x7″ Kraft Card as the base. I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit inside the  Houndstooth Embossing Folder and embossed. I then spritzed with ClearSnap Platinum Smooch Spritz and once dry I inked the edges with ColorBox Pigment Metallic Black Ink. I wrapped cording three times around the embossed image, tied off on the front and center of the of the card and adhered two buttons to the center of the cording. I glued a patterned cardstock to the back of the embossed image before adhering the whole to piece to the card base.

I inked the Happy Dad Day rubber stamp with ClearSnap ColorBox Archival Dye Wicked Black Ink and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. I cut a Black Cardstock slightly larger than the Happy Dad Day image and adhere both piece together and glue to the card base. There you have it an easy peasy card that you can whip out in no time at all! 
As always if there are questions about this card please let me know.

Love You Valentine Card

February 5, 2018

Hi everyone! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner I am here to share a 6″x6″ card I created using Eileen Hull’s newest diecut Book and Pages, Trinket Box and Frame  and some of her older diecuts Romance Flower, Stitchy Flowers and Leaf and Spring Leaves dies.
I started by cutting and folding a piece of Coral and Ivory Big Rev Cardstock to create a 6″x6″ base for my card. 


I cut the frame from the Book and Pages, Trinket Box and Frame which is cut from Mat Board and embossed with the Sweet Blooms Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I spritzed with Rosey Simply Sheer Mist, let dry and lightly inked over the edges and embossing with an aloe chalk ink. I cut a floral patterned cardstock slightly larger than the oval on the frame and adhered to the base of the card before adding the frame close to the edge of the card. I also added three banners before adhering the frame down.

I cut out several flowers from the Stitchy Flowers and Leaf and Spring Leaves dies on white cardstock. On a glass tray I spritzed an assortment of Simply Sheer and Glimmer Mists: Soft Peach, Rosey, Classy Green, Silk and Moss (retired),added a little water and laid the flowers and leaves down to absorb the colors. Once I was happy with the results I removed and placed them on a tray to dry.

I shaped all the flowers and leaves and adhered to the corner of the card. I added a brad to the larger flower, a Dew Drop to the medium size one and the small flowers I added sequins and then I applied Stickles over each floral center.
I bunched up gold thread and gold ribbon and adhered under the flowers along with felt hearts from my stash and to pearlized needles.

I used the Love Notes stamp set from Crate Paper to stamp  the “love you valentine” sentiment on a piece of cardstock and added off center of the banner to finish off the card.

Autumn Blessings

October 18, 2017

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a project I created for Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team! The theme this month we had to do something with a holiday/season theme and I decided I would create a card with an Autumn theme.

I started with a folded 6″x6″ piece of cardstock, 4 1/2″x5 1/2″ of patterned paper, two Embroidery Hoops and a Needle Book Diecuts as the base for the beginning of my card.

I inked the edges of the patterned paper and adhered off center of the card base.

Next I staggered the embroidery hoops dies over the needle book die and adhered to the back side of the needle book diecut.

This is what the front should look like and I didn’t glue the hoops down on the front since I wanted to be able to add embellishments underneath.

I cut down three straws, splattered with paint and once dry tied thread around all three and adhered to the card.

I cut two of the larger leaves and one for the leaf sprigs from the Spring Leaves from white cardstock. I painted those with water colors and when almost dry I shaped and then splattered with brown water colors. Next I cut four of the Romance Flowers from white cardstock and did the same as I did with the leaves. Lastly I cut four of the Heart and Soul Flowers from cardstock, shaped and put together and added an extra large brad to the center. I adhered that along with the larger leaves and two of the smaller romance flowers to the lower half of the card.

I printed the sentiment from the computer, inked the edges and glued along with the other two flowers and the leaf sprig to the upper corner of the card.

I added a few fake berries, copper metallic thread and a mini pine cone to finish off my card.

Thinking of You Roses Card

September 7, 2017

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick card I created with some leftover cardstock scraps, diecuts, etc. that I had laying on my desk. I started by folding a 6″x6″ piece of patterned cardstock in half to create a base for my card. Next I had scraps of cardstock that had roses on them so I fussy cut those out and along with half of a doily I adhered all to the front of the card.

I added Stickles to the larger rose and mini lime green gems to the smaller roses. I watercolored four of the smallest Romance Flower Diecuts, crinkled and glued two each together. Added a dot of Stickles to the center of each, added a leaf sprig, tulle and twine to finish off the flowers. I printed the “thinking of you” verbiage from the computer and matted with a patterned cardstock before adhering to the card.

If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Mini Bird Junk Journal

April 26, 2017

Hi everyone! Has the weather started warming up where you live? Here for the most part we have had days in the 70’s to upper 80’s with everything in full bloom. I think we have skipped Spring and jump right on into Summer. 😎
I wanted to share my finished junk journal with you all. Do you remember I did a how to on how to stitch this journal? If not you can find that post HERE. Well, here is the finished project!


I used a variety of scraps of cardstock, stickers and bits and pieces I had laying around to create this little journal.


I even used a paperbag that held silverware in it from Chili’s to add tags to.



The blurbs I cut from packaging and added Stickles for some interest and of course I have to always add a paper doily to any journal I create. 😊


I forgot to add that I sewed in a total of six papers and that is including the paperbag. 


I love how chunky this little journal turned out! 


I also did a short flip through video of the inside of the journal which I hope you enjoy! As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Remember I Love You!

February 14, 2017

Hi everyone and Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m here to share a quick card I created for my honey using the Elephant diecut. I folded the Grey and Ivory Mini Dot Reverse cardstock in half and place on the diecut slightly below the cut line to create this card.

The Pink and Ivory Mini Dot Reverse and Gold and Kraft Diamond cardstocks where used along with other scraps of cardstock from my stash to create the ear, seat cover, banner and pole which was then adhered to the front of the card.

I added a felt heart from my stash, pink Ric Rac trim around the feet, sequins and Dew Drops for the eye and pole. I stamped the “Love You” sentiment on the banner and Happy Valentine’s Day inside the card. As always if you have any questions about this card please let me know.
