Mini December Tags

December 8, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with another project and this time I create a couple of mini tags from some old Graphic 45 and Authentique cardstocks that I had in my stash (both are now retired). I love to create tags, to me, they are easier than cards to make. Once made I place them on a jump ring so I can go back and look at them. Anyways, I didn’t do step out photos but enjoyed the creating process and wanted to share the finished results.

First, I cut the largest tag from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits from the Graphic 45 cardstock. The other Graphic 45 cut-a-part I used an assortment of those and a Santa cut-a-part from the Authentique cardstock along with bits and pieces of cardstock, diecuts and a bow. I used chalk ink lightly over the edges of the tag to age it. I also placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the Santa image before placing onto the tag.

Second, the back side of the tag I used more scraps of patterned cardstock, a Christmas tree cut-a-part from the Authentique and a fussy cut holly from Graphic 45 which I shaped with a Stylus before adding to the tag.

Third, the next tag is actually from the Graphic 45 cut-a-part. I added a game ticket to the side of the tag. I punched a hole at the top. I cut and embossed a label from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits(only at Scrapbook.com) and glued three of the edges to the tag before adhering the “Happy Holidays” sentiment and postage stamp to the pocket.

Fourth, I placed two tags from the Graphic 45 cut-a-part inside the pocket.

Fifth, the other side of the tag since it already have a Santa image I only added a “ho ho ho” image and a fussy cut poinsettia, that I added foam pop dots to the back before placing onto the tag. I finished off by adding a bow made from thread.

Here’s another idea on how to use tags if you don’t want to keep them on a ring like I do. They can be added to journals or attached to a gift.

Throw Back Thursday: Trees and Snowmen Home Decor Piece

December 7, 2023

Hi everyone! Today I would like to “revisit” an old blog post that I created in 2021 using an empty wax can. A little back story first, I had used the whole can of wax to finish a curio cabinet that I had repainted. I love the “squatty” shape of the can and knew I wanted to use it in some way in a future project and this is what I eventually came up with.

Even though you might not have the exact products I used to create this home decor piece you could use a container that’s stored nut or candy. The snowmen images are from a sheet of stickers. I added a little body powder to the back and that takes away the sticky. Or you can use a printable image such as a snowman or Santa. The choices are endless and just use your imagination.

For the step by step directions on how you can recreate a project like this you can find the link 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.

Snow Village

December 4, 2023

Hi everyone! If you have been following me for any length of time you know I love to alter or up-cycle anything that you would be thrown in the trash. I used an empty cheese container as the base to create this home decor piece. I used the village thinlit from the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits, Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits (both only at Scrapbook.com), Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and the Shadow Box frames Set 2 Thinlits all by Eileen Hull to pull together a fun little snow village. So let’s get started!

First, I painted a Laughing Cow cheese container with two coats of aqua paint and let dry.

Second, I applied Ivory Luster Wax around the exposed edges of the container.

Third, I cut two villages from the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits and a frame from the Shadow Box frames Set 2 Thinlits. I cut the frame to the length of the village die, put together according to the direction, cut patterned cardstock to “fit” each end of the frame with excess to fold around the frame and glued.

Fourth, before gluing the village onto either side of the frame I had to cut a piece of light blue cardstock. I adhered the cardstock to the inside of the largest house to cover the windows and door. Here is where it gets a little tricky. I had to cut strips of patterned cardstock for each house to create “walls”. I adhered each piece into place.

Fifth, before adhering the house onto the container. I placed the container onto the container and drew a circle and cut out. I then embossed with the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and glued to the top of the container.

Sixth, I cut and folded four white pieces of cardstock each to fit each roof line of each houses. I adhered each into place and applied Glitter Glue onto each of the roofs to create the look of snow.

Seventh, I cut a label and two snowflakes from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits. I cut the bottom off the label and glued to the front of the container. I adhered both the snowflakes together before adding to the label. I also added a sequin and dew drop to the center of the snowflake.

Eighth, I added gems to the house to create the look of strung lights.Side note…if you don’t have the Starlit Village and Card Panel Thinlits you can also use the Shadow Box Elements Thinlits and create your own village.

How to Create a Stocking from Diecuts

December 3, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a Christmas stocking I created! This is one of those project that I had actually made last year but never got around to sharing. Christmas time is always a crazy time for me and by the time it had slowed down Christmas was already over. So, I held onto it to share this year. I used the Stocking Gift Card Holder Diecut by Brenda Walton (retired) and the Make it 3D Diecut by Eileen Hull (retired) to create this little treat box. You could use one of Eileen’s other dies that has a “pocket” to create the same 3D effect also. So let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both side of a piece of Chipboard, add patterned cardstock to both sides before placing onto the Stocking Gift Card Holder Diecut (retired) and running through the Diecut Machine. I cut two stockings out and three of the “sides” from the Make it 3D Diecut (retired) and those were cut from plain cardstock.

Second, I cut more “notches” into the tabs so they I could manipulate the Make It 3D die “sides” around the edge of the stocking.

Third, after getting the Make It 3D sides adhered around the stocking I started gluing the second stocking onto the other tabs.

Fourth, before the second stocking is completely glued down I cut a strip on cardstock for inside the stocking to cover the different sections of the sides and adhered in place.

Fifth, I cut a strip of patterned cardstock for the outside edge of the stocking and glued around the Make It 3D die sides for a finished look.

Sixth, I cut and glued a piece of lace around the top of the stocking to create a cuff. I also added bits of thread, ribbon, seam binding, cording, pearl spray and a poinsettia and gold leaf to the corner of the stocking.

Seventh, I glued pom pom trim to the edge of both sides of the stocking. I punched a hole in the cuff and tied a piece of ribbon so it can be hung up.

Do you think these are adorable? I do and I can’t wait to make more! You can add candy or little gifts such as chap sticks, jewelry, ink pens, etc to this for a fun gift.

Santa Treat Box

December 1, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m kicking off the first day of December with a project that can be used as a treat or trinket box or as a way to hold a small gift for Christmas. I used the Slotted Treat Box Diecut, Mandala Thinlit and the mini snowflake from the Everyday Labels and Tags Thinlits (only at Scrapbook.com) to create this treat box. These dies are all by Eileen Hull.So let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to each side of Mat Board and placed a Christmas patterned cardstock (I think this is very old collection My Mind’s Eye cardstock) onto each side of the mat board. Side note, if you don’t have mat board you can use chip board in its place.

Second, I sandwiched the covered mat board and Slotted Treat Box Diecut between two plates and ran through the Diecut Machine. I cut two of each of each die out and put together.

Third, I adhered flat back pearls around the edges of the box, marked the holes for the closure and Hinges, punched holes into the box with a Crop A Dile and added brads to hold the clasp and hinges in place.

Fourth, I glued trim around the inside lid and box. This “helps”secure the brads in place when opening and closing the box.

Fifth, I applied adhesive sheets to cardstock and cut three of the mini snowflakes from the Everyday Labels and Tags Thinlits. I applied a snowflake to cover the “slot” on either side of the box. I added a flat back pearl to the center of each snowflake.

Sixth, I applied adhesive sheet to another piece of patterned cardstock and cut the Mandala Thinlit. I applied the mandala die onto the lid along with the extra snowflake and added a flat back pearl. I fussy cut a Santa image from a piece of cardstock and glued to the corner of the lid to call it finished.

I think anyone would love to receive this as a gift and the theme could be changed for any holiday or special event. What do you think? If you have any questions about this project please let me know.

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.

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.

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!

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Gift Card Post Box

December 8, 2022

Hi everyone! How is your holiday season going? Are you finished shopping, got presents wrapped, tree up and decorated? Me? Nope, only a few presents are wrapped and I still need to put ribbon and bows on the packages. YIKES! This will probably be my last post this week so I can catch up on everything that I need to do around the house and be ready for Christmas…I feel the walls closing in on me…also I have projects that needs to be worked on for Eileen Hull’s Chapter 1 2023 Release…can you believe that 2023 is right around the corner? I can’t!

Anyways, I found this project in my stash of unfinished projects. I had painted and put it together but that is as far as I got with it. I used Eileen Hull’s Post Box Diecut, the lid used from the Book and Pages, Trinket Box and Frame Diecut (retired), Ornament Box Diecut, Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits along with a couple other dies. So let’s get started and finish this project!

I had painted this Post Box Diecut on both sides and once dry I adhered together. I had also painted the frame/lid from the Book and Pages, Trinket Box and Frame Diecut (retired)and glued that to the back of the box. I used a Mod Podge to seal the whole box and then I lightly inked over it to give it an aged look.

I cut a piece of patterned cardstock to fit around the box which I folded and glued the ends together to create a belly band.

I cut a circle out of patterned cardstock from the Ornament Box Diecut and three wreath from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I adhered all three wreaths to the circle before gluing all to the belly band.

I applied a piece of an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece Surfaces Cork Roll and placed a deer thinlit from the Darling Deer Thinlits onto the cork paper and run through the Diecut Machine. I inked the deer with a couple of chalk inks.

I applied the deer to the center of the belly band and a tiny gem to its nose. I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from a piece of cardstock and added to the circle.

I finished by adding a seal punch to the top of box and two holly thinlits from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits and three gems to finish this project.
