Bountiful Harvest Tag

November 22, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a quick tag I created. I had found this cardstock in my stash and since November is almost over I figured I ought to knock out a tag with the two 8″x8″ pieces of Graphic 45 cardstock I had. I enjoyed the crafting process so there’s no step out photos.

I used the largest tag from the Tag Collection Thinlits and cut a tag from the Graphic 45 cardstock. The other sheet of cardstock was cut a parts. I used an assortment of those and layered and glued to the tag base. The illustration of the children I added Foam Pop Dots to the back and placed onto the tag.

I cut leaves and pine needle sprig from the Funky Festive Thinlits. I know this set of diecuts are Christmas themed but I figured I could pull off an autumn vibe. I added a bow and loops of cording, sequins and a button to the leaves to finish the front of the tag.

The back side of the tag I kept it simple. I layered several of the cut a parts other than the “ohhhh Autumn” sentiment which I added foam pop dots to the back before placing onto the tag base. I finished this side off with sequins and a bow make from cording.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving (if you celebrate this holiday) and if you have any questions or comments please leave those below.

Coffee and a Latta Love Tag

November 18, 2023

Hi everyone! Today on my blog I want to share that I was asked to be a guest designer for Emerald Creek. I’m super excited that I was able to use and showcase some stamps from my good friend Pam Bray who designs for Emerald Creek. I used Pam’s Coffee Sign Board Stamp, Coffee Sentiments Stamps, The Blend Stamps and Unwind Stamps to create an extra large tag. Anyways, let’s get started!

I measured and cut a piece of patterned cardstock 5″x10″ for the tag base. For the second tag I used the largest Tag Diecut and cut a tag from the same patterned cardstock but used the back side of it. I embossed a piece of Cream Cardstock with the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and lightly inked with a grayish chalk ink. I placed the Coffee Sign Board Stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with a waterproof Black Ink, stamped onto White Cardstock and added a wash of brown watercolors to the image.

I stamped the coffee beans jar and a few coffee rings from The Blend Stamps, coffee beans and mug from the Unwind Stamps and the “Sending You a Whole Latta of Love!” sentiment from the Coffee Sentiments Stamps. I used an assortment of watercolors to fill in the images and once dry I fussy cut and distressed .

I roughed up the edges of the embossed image and glued to the base of the larger tag. I cut up the Coffee Sign Board Stamp and distressed. I adhered a piece of that stamped image along with a coffee ring from The Blend Stamps onto the base of the tag. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the smaller tag before placing slightly off one side of the larger tag.

Next I glued the coffee bean jar, mug, the cut a part pieces from the coffee broad sign, coffee rings and coffee beans in various spots on the tag.

I placed a mat around the sentiment, added foam pop dots before placing in the upper corner of the smaller tag.

I cut out several flowers and leaves from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and the Floral Silhouettes Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com), shaped with a Stylus and put together before adding to the tag.

I made bows from cording and added to the flowers to finish off the tag.

If you haven’t been by Emerald Creek’s website to look around you ought to. Besides stamps, they have embossing powder, foils, heat set watercolors and paints just to name a few of the products they have on their site. You can find the web link HERE.

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

Chrysanthemum Slotted Box

November 13, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another project featuring Eileen Hull’s Slotted Treat Box Diecut, Sunflower Diecut, the smaller flowers are from Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) and the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits.

A little side story about me and the slotted treat box die. My first project, which I haven’t shared yet, because it’s Christmas related. Anyways, I had bought what I thought was mat board at Hobby Lobby. I had found it in the art supply section and was the perfect size where it could be cut down unlike the huge pieces of mat board which takes a little more effort. Fast forward I bought it got it home and covered with some of my favorite Christmas cardstock, that I had been hoarding, and on the back side I covered with Cork Cardstock when I went to run it through the Diecut Machine with the Slotted Treat Box Diecut it WOULD. NOT. CUT! It made an indention but that was it. At first I thought the diecut was defective ( insert me having a big panic attack) but I finally used a scrap of regular mat board I had and it cut. So needless to say I had to toss it.

Now back to the project at hand, the theme this month over on Eileen Hull’s blog is all about recipes. It’s not food related but technique related. So let’s get started!

Step One

I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of the Mat Board, then the patterned cardstock, placed onto the slotted treat box diecut and run through the diecut machine. I had to cut two sides, two of the front and back, four sides for the lid and a top and a bottom for the box.

The flaps I peeled the excess of mat board and one side of the cardstock off so once adhered together the flaps will lay “flatter” and there won’t be as much bulk.

Step Two

Next I glued all the sides to the lid and bottom of the box.

Step Three

I had hinges, brads and a handle but they were mauve and gold. Definitely not the colors I wanted to use with the box. I sprayed painted them all a brushed nickel finish. Here’s another little side note, if you have the wrong color of brads you can punch holes into a piece of chipboard, place each brad in the hole and open the pongs to secure in place while spray painting. It’s a quick and easy fix.

Step Four

I also applied Charcoal Luster Wax over the edges of the handle, brads and hinges for depth.

Step Five

I used washi tape to hold the hinges and the handle in place while marking the holes. Then I used a Crop A Dile for the holes and then installed the hinges and handle. I also added a trim on the inside of the box to cover the pongs of the brads.

Step Six

I cut out six each of the large and small size flowers and two of the centers and one leaf from the Sunflower Diecut. I shaped the large and small flowers with a Stylus.

I also cut out three small and four middle size flowers from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits and shaped. The small size flowers I stacked and adhered together with the large and small flowers from the sunflower die. I also shaped the leaf with a stylus, my hand and inked before adhering to the corner of the flower. The center of the flower at first I shaped with a stylus but didn’t like so I scrunched and inked.

The four middle flowers I shaped and stacked two each together. I also cut out six of the tiny flowers from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and shaped all of those. I added two of those to the center of the middle size flowers. I adhered all flowers to the lid of the box and added beads, gems and buttons to the center of each flower. I also glued cording bows, lace and twigs from my yard to finish.

This box is perfect for storing things or making to give as a gift. I hope you trying to create one for your self soon.

Comfort and Joy Mini Holiday House

November 9, 2023

Hi everyone! This is the fourth year for Comfort and Joy Event hosted by Eileen Hull. You can find lots of fun projects by the Inspiration and Educator Teams over in Eileen’s Fan Club which can be found HERE. If you aren’t a member, fill out the questionnaire to join. Also there is a twist to this month’s theme and it’s all about recipes…not food related but technique recipes.

I created a mini house using the Shadow Box Frames Set 2 Thinlits, Sunflower Diecut, Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. You can add twine or ribbon to the top to tie to a present or hang on a tree but I chose to leave that off and so I could use it as a home decor piece on one of my shelf. Anyways, let’s get started!

Step One

The first thing I did was cut out two of the houses from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and two pieces of cardstock that I adhered to the back side to cover the windows and door in both houses. Also I cut the roofs off of both houses. Side note, this house is the only one that perfectly fits the Shadow Box Frame without any adjustments.

Step Two

I measured and cut a piece of patterned cardstock using the roof line as a guide for the “walls” of the house. I placed the cut piece of cardstock onto the Shadow Box Frames Set 2 Thinlits and run through the Diecut Machine. I folded and glued together.

Step Three

I adhered the houses onto the “walls” and glued two strips of cardstock at the roof line. I cut a piece of brown cardstock slightly larger than the width of the house, folded and glued the roof onto the two strips at the roof line.

Step Four

I cut out a center from the Sunflower Diecut to use as a base for the house to sit on. I also cut and shaped with a Stylus two flowers from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and a sprig of berries from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I added sequins to the sprig and flowers along with a few loops of thread to finish this miniature house.

This is so easy to make and is a great way to use up scraps of cardstock. If you have any questions please let me know.

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.

Slimline Winter Wishes Snowflake Card

August 18, 2023

Hi everyone! I know it is still over four months until Christmas but I wanted to share a quick card I created for the holiday season using the Journal Diecut , Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits and Ornament Box Diecut. Also I used the new thinlits sets, Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits and Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits that can only be found at Scrapbook.com. All these dies and thinlits are by Eileen Hull and I love how versatile they all are. Who would have thought to use a journal diecut to create the base of the card?!? Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I placed a piece of folded cardstock slightly below the cut line of the Journal Diecut, sandwiched in-between plates and run through the Diecut Machine. The size of the slimline card is 3.5″x8.5″ for reference. I cut another piece of cardstock slightly smaller than the card base and placed the star thinlit from the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits onto the cardstock and proceeded run through the diecut machine several times until it looked like a night full of stars. I adhered the star panel onto the card base.

I cut both the larger circle from the Ornament Box Diecut and the smaller circle tag from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits.

I cut one large snowflake from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits and four small snowflakes from the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits.

I glued both the larger and smaller circles to one side of the card base. Next I added the larger snowflake to the larger circle and two of the smaller snowflakes I glued together. I made sure that between both size of snowflakes that it covered the small hole that’s in the circle tag.

The other two snowflakes I glued together and placed in the upper corner on the other side of the card base. I placed a piece of an Adhesive Sheet onto the piece of cardstock and cut out the “Warm Wishes” sentiment. I also cut a piece of white cardstock slightly larger than the sentiment and placed both sentiment and cardstock beneath the snowflake.

I randomly added clear sequins onto the card to finish. This card takes no time to create and you could cut out all diecuts first and mass product all your cards at once to make the creative process go quicker.

How to Make a Gift Bag Using the Field Notes and Specimen Diecut

August 16, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with my first project of the month for Eileen Hull. I created a gift bag using the Field Notes and Specimen Diecut, Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and Floral Silhouette Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) along with a few other dies and thinlits by Eileen. So let’s get started!

First, I covered Chipboard with Adhesive Sheets on both sides, cut and placed the oranges…or maybe they are peaches…cardstock onto the front and a lime green cardstock onto what will be the inside of the gift bag. Also the orange cardstock is from the Sunny Days Collection. I placed the covered chipboard onto the Field Notes and Specimen Diecut, sandwiched between the cutting plates and run through the Diecut Machine. I cut two of these out and punched a total of four holes in the top of the “bag”.

I used the “pocket” from the Ornament Box Diecut to create the sides for the gift bag. I cut chipboard a little larger than the size of the pocket, applied adhesive sheets to inside of where the flaps a total of will be exposed. I cut strips of cardstock and placed over the adhesive areas and cut out three pockets. I cut one of the pockets in half and this will make up the sides.

Next, I “peeled” two of the “folds” from the bottom of the bag.

I adhered the flaps to each side of the bag.

The area I peeled the cardstock and some of the chipboard from I glued both sides together. I measured the inside of the wall and cut cardstock to fit. Next, I adhered the Cardstock to the inside. the excess I folded over and glued to the outside of the bag. I cut cardstock to fit the outside and adhered in place.

For the large flower I cut out four flowers, for the smaller flowers I cut out two flowers per flower, one large and two small flower centers and one large and two small leaves from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I used a Stylus to shape all.

For the larger flower I layered and glued four of the flowers and a large flower center together. The two smaller flowers I glued two together and added a center to each. I love the fact that you can make these dimensional or leave them flat if you so choose to.

I cut the oval from the Journaling Card, Envelope and Windows Thinlits and adhered to the top of the bag. I cut two flowers, shaped and glued together from the Floral Silhouette Thinlits. From my stash I pulled shaped flowers and vines from the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits. I placed all flowers, leaves and vines onto the oval area of the bag.

I tied ribbon to both sides of the gift bag to finish. Even though this die was intended to create a journal it’s perfect to create a gift bag too. What do you think?

New Diecut Collection & a Mini Snowflake Frame

July 28, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to introducing a new die collection designed just for scrapbook.com by Eileen Hull! You will find lots of ways to use these dies whether you like making cards, journals or home decor. Each die coordinates with the set but also stands alone, giving you good value!

The Card Caddy is a ScoreBoards die, specially designed to cut and score thick material like matboard, chipboard, leather, felt and fabric, creating a sturdy base for other coordinating dies in the collection. The Caddy assembles in minutes. Use the die to create a card box, container for food gifts, holiday packaging or stationery, art journal, planners and cards- all this from one die!

Each of the three coordinating Thinlits sets fit perfectly on the box- cover with paper or fabric and create a special box of cards for yourself, friends or family!

Everyday Tags & Labels includes 13 dies: labels, tags, snowflake, flowers, and stars- everything you need throughout the year to add to gifts, cards, tags and journals!

The Floral Silhouettes die has 12 elements: floral borders and swag, individual layering flowers and centers and delicate foliage. Make the flowers in layers, or cut from watercolor paper and paint each flower by hand! Flowers work on everything and these are the cutest shapes!

The Starlit Village & Card Panel die set comes with ten dies: two rows of small houses, individual houses, moon, star cluster and Warm Wishes sentiment. These dies make a gorgeous Christmas village- or paint a pastel row to make beach cottages- it’s all up to you!

These dies are only available at scrapbook.com so buy while they still have some!
Schedule for featured dies:
Week 1 Card Caddy
Week 2 Starlit Village & Card Panel
Week 3 Floral Silhouettes
Week 4 Everyday Tags & Labels

Also I would like to share a mini snowflake frame I created using the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits Item # 666533 and the Shadow Box Frames Set 1 Thinlits. So let’s get started!

I cut four of the frames out, folded and glued together.

I applied adhesive to the flap and inside sides of the “pointed” area of each die and placed the “flat” side into the area that has glue applied. Hold together until adhesive has dried.

I cut a piece of patterned cardstock the size of the frame, applied adhesive to the frame and place over opening.

I cut out several of snowflakes from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits Item # 666533 (the larger snowflake is from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits, but didn’t use).

I glued two of the snowflakes together, glued a gem to the center of the snowflake and added a Foam Pop Dot to the back before placing in the center of the frame.

An extra idea you could make several of these, add loops of ribbon to each and hang them from a Christmas tree!

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.
