The inside was wrapped with tissue paper and a sticker.
I carefully removed the sticker which will be added to my December Daily later. The kits is packed full of everything you will need to make cards. But you could definitely use some of the embellishments for other projects besides cards. The kit contains the following items:
13 A2 Cards & Matching Envelopes
12 5 x 7 in. Cards & Matching Envelopes
14 Sheets of 8.5 x 11 in. Cardstock
Four Sheets of 8.5 x 11 in. Foil Paper
One 6 x 6 in. Paper Pad (40 sheets)
Die Cut Shapes
Chipboard Embellishments
Sticker Sheets
Clear Stamp Set
Wax Seal Embellishments
Sequins
Foam Stickers
Foam Squares
Adhesive Tape
Instruction Sheet
I love how everything is included in the kit! The only thing you will need is a Paper Cutter, Scissors and possibly extra Adhesive. I sat down and knocked out these cards quickly.
I challenged myself to use every piece of cardstock that was cut so nothing went to waste.
The last two cards I created are 5″ x 7″.
This card I added a hidden flap to the front to leave a special note.
I still have over half the cards left in the kit. I will be sharing them in the next couple of months.
I love how everything is included in the kit and it keeps all your supplies contained in this beautiful box!

The second card I cut stripes of cardstock, one slightly smaller than the other. I glued one on top of the other before adhering to the card.
I added three of the snowflakes from the Merry Moments Dimensional Snowflakes and called it finished! These two cards have been by far the easiest to make!

Hi everyone! The theme this month is”anything goes” with Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team. I’ve a stack of unfinished projects lying around collecting dust and thought I really need to finish this prayer journal. I’m ashamed to say this journal is promised to someone. Family and life got in the way and I could never find enough time to finish. But I can now say it’s done!
I didn’t take step out photos of the process but will give a little back ground of what I created. I also have attached a flip through video of the journal.
I used the Skinny Mini Book Box Diecut to create the cover of the journal. I cut out two covers for the Skinny Mini Book Box Diecut. This is with applying Double Sided Adhesive to both sides of Mat Board and cardstock too. I extended the spine out to the maximum width by gluing the end tabs of each spine together. I wrapped the outside of the spine with a patterned cardstock. I punched a total of six holes, three on the top and three on the bottom of the spine. I cut and adhered a piece of cardstock to fit the inside of the spine. I poked holes through the cardstock I glued inside the spine. I used the Crop-A-Dile to attach Eyelets in the spine. I strung elastic cording through the holes and tied off inside the journal.
I glued strips of patterned cardstock vertically to the cover of the journal. I added a bit of lace to the cover, a scrap piece of embossed cardstock from the Faux Postage Thinlits. I also glued a postage stamp that I had cut from the Faux Postage Thinlits. I dug into my chipboard pieces and adhered a frame off center the cover. I fussy cut the lamb from the Farm Sweet Farm Collection and glued onto the frame. I added three vintage buttons to the cover to finish.
The inside pages has four signatures with three pages per signature.
I used a lot of inspirational/religious embellishments through the journal.
I used paint chips as pages.
There’s plenty of tuck spots for journaling and adding photos.
I was finally able to find a home for the collection of stickers from my stash.
The video is attached and be sure to click the link below to view the flip through.

Hi. everyone! I want to share a few photos of a quick and easy extra large tag I created.
I used a lot of embellishments from my stash that I’ve had for years. Like this “Merry” banner and the poinsettias. I dressed up the poinsettias with chalk ink, gold gems and I shaped them with a Stylus before gluing together.
I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the December image before placing onto the tag. I used the holly from the Deck the Halls Thinlits and adhered those behind the poinsettias.
On the other side of the tag, I added strips of cardstock and two images. I placed Foam Pop Dotsto the back of one image before placing it onto the tag. I cut a bow, pinecones, and pine needles from Deck the Halls Thinlits. I placed them onto the corner of the sentiment. I also added a poinsettia, holly and a bow made from cording to finish.
If you have any comments or questions about this tag please leave them below.

Hi everyone! I’m back with part two of my junk journal that I created using an Amazon Mailer as the cover. Today I will share the inside pages and as I stated yesterday there will be no process photos. Only the finished pages. Anyways, let’s get started!
The first is actual a paper doily that I added fussy cut Christmas images to.
The height of most of the pages is almost 12″, depending on how the scrapbook paper was made. Some I didn’t need to cut down.
I added a cut a part to the first page with a tiny paper clip. The opposite page I placed a sticker sentiment and felt bird sticker.
The next set of pages I adhered “counting the days” acetate sentiment at the bottom to create a tuck spot. The other page since it has a lot visually going on I left it plain.
I added a journaling card to the tuck spot.
On the next two pages, I glued a fussy cut image of a girl. The image features her holding a present and is placed at the bottom of the pages. On the opposite side I applied a rub on Santa image and a “here comes Santa Claus” sentiment.
The next set of pages I kept plain in case of needing extra journaling or adding photos.
This set of pages is where I stitched in all the pages. I used a Crop A Dile to punch holes in the spine. I tied off on the outside. I then covered the knot with the lace. I glued the lace to the spine and both covers.
The next set of pages includes a cut a part with a tiny paper clip. I left the opposite page blank for journaling.
This set of pages starts with a blank first page. I added a fussy cut girl to the top of the next page.
This set of pages includes three pages in total. I didn’t embellish them, other than adding mini scalloped edgers to one of the pages.
This set of pages includes three total too. I decorated the page with poinsettias with a cut a part and scraps of cardstock. The back page I added Pom Pom trim to finish.
I really loved creating this journal out of an Amazon Mailer and I can’t wait to make another. It’s a great way to recycle and turn into something useful. If you don’t have a mailer you can use envelopes and small paper bags and turn those into journals. You are only limited by your own imagination. Also If you have any questions or comments please leave those below.

Hi everyone! Even though we are now in September. I want to share a file folder that I had altered and turned into a summery journal. I actually had this finished and ready to share a couple of months ago. My dad passed away, and it’s been hard to get back into the swing of things. But I’m getting there. I didn’t do any step out photos of the process…sorry. Anyways let’s get started!
The file folder I measured and folded. I folded the top of both sides into the inside of the cover. This created tuck spots. I glued the bottom edge of both tuck spots to the inside cover.
I tucked some notebook paper to the back cover. I had cut it down and added a rub on from the 49 and Market: Rouge Collection.
The front inside tuck spot. I added glue to either end of a cut a part. This was done after I had decorated the cover…details of the cover will come later.
I added a couple journaling cards to the belly band. I also added another piece of notebook paper with rub ons to the tuck spot.
The cover of journal measures 6″x11 1/2″ after folding the tuck spots to the inside of the journal. I gathered up an assortment of cardstock, grid paper, large doily and watercolor paper. I cut to fit and folded in half before punching holes, in the fold of all pages and the cover. I threaded a needle with cording and stitched all together. I tied off on the outside of the cover.
I tied seam binding and fiber to cover where I had tied off on the spine. I also adhered trim to the back and front cover.
The cover I adhered a rectangle doily that I glued to the cover. The extra bit of the doily I wrapped and glued to the tuck spot of the inside. I dug into my stash of paper diecuts. I added a bingo card, frame and a floral image to the cover.
For the inside pages, I used an assortment of paper diecuts and embellishments.
I used one of the journaling cards as a tuck spot.
The two pages in one I thought was pretty cool.
I loved adding the bright green doily as a page to the journal. I also used a parking garage ticket as a tab on a page.
I used a sheet of watercolor paper in the journal. On the back side of the page, I fussy cut out a floral image from a scrap piece of cardstock. I adhered two of the sides to the page to create a pocket. I added scraps of cardstock as journaling spots to the pocket.
User comments
I used a journaling card that had a perforated edge. Instead of tearing it from the booklet it was in I carefully removed it with the perforated edge intact. I adhered to the top of the page. I added a strip of cardstock to cover where I tore it from the booklet.
I glued a journaling card along the bottom and added to the middle of the page. I created a tuck spot. I added a scrap of cardstock. I also included a journaling card and a paint chip. I had picked up the paint chip in the paint department at Walmart. These items were added to the tuck spot.
I added glue to the bottom of the “Good Times” cut a part. I placed it on the bottom of the page to create a tuck spot. I added a scrap of cardstock to the pocket.
I added a small Polk a dot paper bag to the side of the page. I secured it by adding washi tape to the page and bag. I glued a sentiment to the bag along with a butterfly embellishment. I placed a decorative journaling card inside of the bag.
I created another tuck spot with a decorative card from my stash.
I filled the tuck spot with journaling cards and scraps of cardstock.
More tuck spots and a flip up card for journaling or adding photos.
I dug into my stash and found this little felt flower and paper leaves I had not used. I thought it was a perfect addition to the page. On the opposite page, I glued another journaling card to the corner. I also added a scrap of cardstock with a sentiment.
The last page in the journal I adhered a butterfly diecut to the top of the page to finish.
This journal was so much fun to put together! If you don’t have file folders laying around your home, you can find them at places like Walmart and Target. You can also check your local office supply stores. For the rest, use what craft supplies you have on hand! You will be surprised how quick one of these journals comes together.

Hi everyone! Wow! It’s hard to believe that this month is almost over and this is my first project of the month. I’m back from a much needed vacation, renewed, focused and ready to craft.
This month’s theme over on Eileen Hull’s blog is, “What’s in the box?”-The Treasure Box that is! This Scoreboard Treasure Box Diecut is extremely versatile. The team is showing so many different ways to use the treasure box. Anyways, let’s get started!
First, I applied an Adhesive Sheet to both sides of Chipboard. I removed the backing from the adhesive sheets and placed patterned cardstock to both sides of the chipboard. I then placed it onto the Treasure Box Diecut. I placed the diecut between two cutting plates. I ran it through the Diecut Machine.
Side note, I cut out two top/bottom, larger sides of the box and lid. Since I would be using metal hardware, I didn’t cut out the hinges the handle.
I glued all the cut pieces together. I did leave the top piece off the lid since I needed to punch holes into it. It’s almost impossible if you are using a Crop-A-Dile to punch the hole. Once I placed and marked with a pencil the holes for the closures and hinges I punched holes.
Instead of placing the hinges on the “long side” of the box I chose to do the short side. I adhered the top piece to the outside of the lid. I didn’t like seeing the tabs exposed on the inside. So, I cut two more top/bottom pieces. Then, I glued them to the inside. Next, I secured the closure and hinges with Long Fasteners. I adhered trim to the inside to cover the prongs of the brads and the feet to the box.
The bird and berries images was what was leftover from the cardstock I had used to cover the box. I fussy cut the bird and berries a part. I shaped some of the berries and leaves with a Stylus. I also shaped the wings of the bird. Then, I glued them to the lid. I dug into my stash and added a few flowers and loops of thread to the lid. I also placed a tiny gem in the center of a fussy cut flower.
I guess you noticed in the title of my blog post this is a part one? I’m creating something to go inside of this treasure box using the diecut but not the way it’s intended. Be sure to come back later on in the week for the second part where I’ll reveal what I’ve made.

Hi everyone! I am back this week with another tag. I didn’t have a lot of time so it’s an uber quick and easy project using the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!
First, I cut two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits since these cardstocks had no design on the back. I glued those together.
I gathered a pink and orange strip of cardstock and adhered to the tag. I dug into my basket of chipboard embellishments and found a bird image, corner protector and a small flower circle.
Second, I matted the bird image with a piece of patterned cardstock, along with a polkadot scrap of cardstock and a scrap of Crochet diecut from the Crochet 2 Thinlits and glued all to the tag.
Third, I finished by adding a circle mat to the flower circle, a small yellow rose I had cut from a piece of cardstock and a “learning to fly” sticker sentiment to the tag.
Fourth, for the back of the tag, I adhered two patterned strips of cardstock to the tag. I pulled the mason jar image from my basket and glued to the tag.
Fifth, I picked out the little sitting boy and the little girl from the pack of Mini Paper Dolls and adhered the boy on top of the jar and the little girl next to the jar to finish the tag.

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits. Since my wrist has been bothering me this week I wasn’t sure if I would get one made but I powered through and created a quick and easy tag. Anyways, let’s get started!
First, I cut two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits and glued those back to back since the patterned cardstock was only on one sided.
Second, I added an assortment of scraps of cardstock to the base of the tag and then I dug into my basket of chipboard embellishments and glued the “old school”, “wear and tag” gauge and “splats” to the tag.
Third, I picked this dapper gentleman from the Mini Paper Dolls and adhered him next to the “old school” sentiment and called this side of the tag finished.
Fourth, for this side of the tag I used a scraps of cardstock and a few printables that was leftover from pervious projects. I adhered those to the base of the tag along with a doily shaped acetate overlay from my stash. I also added the “memories” sentiment on top of the overlay.
Fifth, I added a mini paper doll woman to the tag along a couple of Liquid Gloss dots to the flowers to finish this side of the tag.
This tag came together very quickly and will be added to my ring of tags. Also if you haven’t been by Eileen Hull’s blog lately to see what her team has created you can find that post HERE.

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another tag I created using scraps and bits of cardstock, leftover Mat Board and the Lace 3D Embossing Folder by Eileen Hull. If you remember earlier this month I shared another tag using the same embossing folder but had turned the tag a different way than this tag for a completely different look. If you are interested in that post you can find it HERE. Anyways, let’s get started!
First, I had cut out a tag from a leftover scrap of Mat Board using the Tag and Bookplates Diecut (retired). As with the other tag I made earlier this month the mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut and the approximate size of the tag came to 3 1/4″x5 7/8″. I embossed the tag with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder and lightly went over the embossed areas with an aqua/teal chalk ink.
Second, I lightly applied Ivory Luster Wax over the embossed area.
Third, I lightly hit areas of the tag with brown chalk ink. It gave it a nice vintage look.
Fourth, I gathered up scraps of different patterned cardstocks, cut a parts, a “Happily Ever After” sentiment, a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls, chipboard “x” piece and a flower.
Fifth, I added layers of scraps and the sentiment to the tag. I also had this leftover bit of cardstock that I had embossed with the Crochet Mandala 3D Embossing Folder. I was happy that piece complemented what I had already added to the tag.
Sixth, I added flat back pearls to the sentiment, adhered a couple from the Minis Paper Dolls onto the tag. Next I placed a Foam Pop Dot to the back of a flower and an “x” chipboard piece to the center before placing onto the tag.
Seventh, I cut a medium and large heart and the smaller leaf from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits. I shaped the leaf with a Stylus and adhered under the flower. The hearts I placed on the tag and added a bow and loops made of thread to finish this side of the tag.
Eighth, I covered the back of the tag by cutting out another tag to cover the not so “pretty” side. I glued that to the back.
Ninth, I kept this side of the tag simple and put together an assortment of diecuts from various collections that I’ve “hoarded” through the years. I am trying hard to use what I have instead of going out and buying more supplies.
Eleventh, I layered and adhered all the diecuts, along with a piece of lace and another couple from the Minis Paper Dolls to the tag.
Twelfth, I added a bow made of thread and a gem to the center of the gauge to finish the tag.
What do you do with all your leftover scraps and diecut embellishments? Do you use them or collect (hoard) them? Let me know in the comments below.
