Pink and White Storage Box

March 14, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another project using the Storage Box Diecut by Eileen Hull. I only used one diecut for this project. Which is hard to believe because I’m a firm believer in using an assortment of dies, thinlits and embossing folders…yikes! Where was my mind when I was making this!?!?! Also I took no step out photos. I was in the moment and I had it made before I realized it…sorry about that! Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of Mat Board, then a light pink cardstock, placed onto the Storage Box Diecut, placed in-between two cutting plates and run through a Diecut Machine. Side note, I cut out the parts of the box twice.

Second, I used Prima Dulce Paper Collection (retired) to cover and embellish the lid and the box. Since this paper pad is a 6″x6″ paper pad I thought it was the perfect size to use. I picked sheets from the pad that had multi prints/advertisements and cut slightly smaller than the box and the lid and adhered to each side of the box and lid. I dressed up the top and bottom of the box with pink trim from my stash. I also added a pink trim around the top of the lid.

Third, I dug into my stash of paper flowers and glued to the lid. I added cut a parts, bits of lace, ric rac, strands of pearls, pom poms and loops of thread to finish the lid.

There’s so many uses for this box, such as adding a present and giving as a gift or using it as decorative storagebin your home. Do you have any other suggestion on how you would use this box? If you do leave your comment below.

Lace, Hearts and a Fairy Tag

March 5, 2024

Hi everyone! It’s a new month and I would love to share a tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Lace 3D Embossing Folder and the Faux Postage Thinlits, along with a few other dies, from her newest collection. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder! It’s 6″x8 1/2″ so you can embossing those journal covers or even extra large cards. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I had a scrap of Mat Board that was leftover from another project. I cut that from the Tag and Book Plates Diecut (retired) and embossed with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder. The mat board was shorter than the actual tag on the diecut, so the measurements wound up being approximately 3 1/4″x5 7/8″.

Second, I lightly inked the raised edges with a combo of two different shades of pink chalk ink. I then rubbed Ivory Luster Wax over the entire tag and once I was happy with the way it looked a lightly hit the raised areas with a tan chalk ink.

Third, I only needed the oval section of the Faux Postage Thinlits and I wanted to highlight the fairy. I cut cardstock larger than the oval area, placed onto the thinlits and run through the Diecut Machine. I know some people like to tear these dies but I used the Scissors to carefully cut out the oval and the excess.

Fourth, I cut two wreaths and leaf sprig from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I layered the wreaths on top of each other and glued to the tag. I lightly inked the edges of both the oval and negative part of the postage stamp die and adhered to the bottom edge of the wreaths. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the oval before lining up and placing inside of the negative part.

Fifth, I cut two flowers from the Bookmark, Tag and Pocket Thinlits (retired), shaped with a Stylus, glued on top of each other and added a gem to the center. I cut two leaves from the leaf sprig, shaped and placed on the back of the flower. I made a bow with thread and adhered to the edge of the oval along with the flower.

Sixth, I cut the small and medium size hearts from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, inked with chalk ink and glued both onto the upper corner of the wreath and added a few sequins to finish the tag.

Have you had a chance to look at Eileen Hull’s newest dies, thinlits and embossing folder? If you have which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

Rouge Floral Sewing Box

January 16, 2024

Hi everyone! Earlier this month I shared sneak peeks of the latest “It’s all about the Stitching Classic Dies” re-release by Eileen Hull. If you missed that post that I shared you can find that HERE. But today I’m sharing the complete project using the Cantilever Sewing Box Diecut along with a few other dies by Eileen. So let’s get started!

First, I gathered all the scraps of Mat Board I had been saving because the hinges, feet, lids and boxes are small and this is a great way to use up scraps. Side note, there will be a lot of cuts for this project.

Next, I covered mat board for the feet, hinges and lids with Adhesive Sh e ets and placed patterned cardstock from the 6″x8″ Rouge Paper Collection onto the mat board. These are the cuts you will need to make for each of the following parts for the sewing box:

Two Hole Hinges: Eight Cuts

Triple Hole Hinges: Four Cuts

Feet: Two Cuts

Lids: Two Cuts

Boxes: Six Cuts

Second, I didn’t cover the mat board for the boxes since I planned on cutting cardstock from the 12″x12″ Rouge Paper Collection to fit the boxes, this was for the inside and outside of each box. I know that’s a lot of work but is so worth the extra effort for a clean and neat look.

I covered the outside of four of the boxes and two of the boxes I adhered together before covering.

Third, I punched out the holes on the outside before adding the hinges and Brads to each of the boxes. I then cut to fit cardstock for the inside of each box. I also glued the lids to the top boxes.

Fourth, I cut out two leaves, four centers and eight of the smaller flowers from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits, three leaf sprigs from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits and two flowers from the Folio Page, Pockets and Flowers Thinlits.

I took all of the flowers that are from the Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and inked the edges with a red chalk ink before shaping each with a Stylus. I layered and glued four of those flowers on top of each other along with a shaped center and a leaf. I did the same for the other of flower, center and leaves but set those aside.

Next I shaped with a stylus the other two flowers from the Folio Page, Pockets and Flowers Thinlits, another center and the all the leaf sprigs. I adhered one layered flower, sprigs and the other two flowers to the corner of the lid. I did added a flat back pearl to the smallest flower and loops of thread to finish that side of the lid.

Fifth, for the other lid I fussy cut two flowers from one of the sheets of 12″x12″ Rouge Paper Collection, shaped with a stylus and glued on top of each other. I added a leaf and center to the flower before gluing to the lid. I also added more leaf sprigs, the other layered flower, a fussy cut ticket, pearl top pins, lace and loops of thread.

Sixth, I used two sewing bobbins as knobs to open the lids. I adhered to each lid and punched a small circle from cardstock and glue to each spool. I also glued the feet to the bottom of the sewing box.

This sewing box is perfect to store sewing supplies in but would be great to hold craft supplies, candy or add trinkets and give as a gift. What would you do if you created one? Let me know in the comments below.

Sweet Lemons Card Case

May 12, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back today with a cheery project I created using the Card Case Diecut by Eileen Hull. There’s an endless sort of creative possibilities with this diecut…which I love. But I just stuck to the basic design (nothing elaborate unlike some projects…wink wink) and created a case to hold tags so let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of the Mat Board, cut to fit patterned cardstock and placed onto both sides of the mat board. Placed the mat board onto the Card Case Diecut and sandwiched in-between cutting plates before running through the Diecut Machine.

Here’s a little tip when using mat board or even chip board incase you need to glue pockets or the spine together using Eileen’s dies. You can “peel” the mat board/chip board to get a thinner flap or spine which in turn will lay flush when all is put together.

I adhered the pockets to either side of the case before gluing the spine together.

I had a sheet of cut a parts that I punched a hole in the top of each tag, lightly decorated with embellishments and tying together with cording.

I decorated each pocket with a bit of lace and an embellishment and placed the tags in each pocket.

I embossed a piece of black mat board with the Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder. I double a piece of cording and glued the embossed mat board over the piece of cording. I cut a couple of the perforated tickets with the Mini Slimline Tickets Thinlits, embossed with Crochet Mandala Embossing Folder and lightly inked with chalk ink before adhering to the cover along with lace and a scrap piece of patterned cardstock. I finished the cover off by adding a few sequins and chipboard pieces from the Lemon Twist Chipboard Stickers. I also added mini gems to the center of each flower of one of the chipboard pieces.

The cording I measured about three inches from the end of the cording and strung three beads. I tied a knot in the end to keep them in place. I wrapped the cording around the case and looped the end with the beads under the cording to keep it closed.

Evening Dress Journal

March 15, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a project I created for Eileen Hull. I used the Frame Pocket Journal Diecut to create this journal. So let’s get started!

A little back story on this project, I had only enough patterned cardstock to create the cover…front/back and insides of both halves of the covers. I kept on telling myself be sure to place both the right side up so your covers aren’t opposite each other. Guess what I did? I placed and cut them wrong so I had the inside cover on the outside and the outside cover inside for the journal.

I didn’t want to waste the Mat Board, Adhesive Sheets and patterned cardstock. I had just enough leftover patterned cardstock to recover one of the covers. So I cut the spine down to one signature, adhered one flap on top of the other flap and once dry I punched holes at both ends of the spine. I ran elastic cording through the holes and tied off inside of the journal.

I dug into my stash of chipboard pieces, buttons, trim, fussy cut the evening gown from cardstock and glued everything to the cover.

The notebook for the inside of the journal I took one personal size travelers notebook and cut off the bottom half of the notebook to make it fit. I embossed a piece of cardstock, from the Essentials Cardstock Collection, with the 3D Tablecloth Embossing Folder. I cut the embossed piece to fit the cover of the notebook and adhered to the front.

I used the leftover scrap of patterned cardstock from covering the cover of the journal, another fussy cut evening gown and frame chipboard piece to decorate the cover of the notebook.

I placed the notebook inside the journal and called it finished!

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.

It’s a perfect to hold a gift card and some candy or a tiny trinket. What would you put inside it?

A Beary Merry Christmas Cork Journal

December 5, 2022

Hi everyone! I’m super excited to share this project with y’all. Eileen Hull’s teams were sent a package of Surfaces Cork Roll from Sizzix to create something using Eileen’s dies, thinlits and embossing folders. I used the Notepad Diecut, Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits, the label from the Card Caddy Diecut and the hinge from the Treasure Box Diecut (retired) along with some other thinlits and embossing folders from Olivia Rose and Tim Holtz. Let’s get started!

First, I gathered up all my supplies before starting.

I applied Adhesive Sheets to both side of a piece of Mat Board, cut the cork and a piece of cardstock to fit the mat board. Next I placed the diecut onto the mat board and run through the Diecut Machine. I cut the cover twice.

I placed the journal cover into the 3D Tree Rings Embossing Folder but could not get it to run through the diecut machine, which sent me into a mini panic. But after much tinkering I used two sets of cutting plates and a crease pad to emboss both covers.

I peeled the cork and mat board away from one of the tabs on the spine.

This will make the spine have a “flat” look once it is glued together.

I used a combination of chalk inks on the cover and I also applied with my finger Rose Gold Luster Wax in random spots.

I picked three different shades of green from the Surfacez Eclectic Color Collection and cut three wreaths from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits. I cut two “open” and wove them through the wreath that I didn’t cut and adhered to the cover.

From the same paper collection I cut out all the parts for the bear from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits and used a combo of adhesive sheets and adhesive to piece together.

I lightly inked over parts of the bear and adhered to the cover.

I punched two holes in the top and bottom of the spine with a Crop-A-Dile and set eyelets into each hole before stringing elastic cording through the holes and tying off.

I covered with cardstock a label from the Card Caddy Diecut and the hinge from the Treasure Box Diecut and adhered on top of each other before gluing to the spine.

For the booklets inside the journal I had an A6 plain planner notebook but it was too tall. No problem!

I measured and cut the notebook in half (2 7/8″) and I also added a bit of glue to the stitches on each end of each book to keep it from coming undone.

I covered each book with a festive Christmas cardstock and added a present and a tree from the Doodle Christmas Thinlits and seals from the Prize Ribbons Diecut (retired) onto each book.

I’m not sure if I’ll make a December Daily out of this or use as glue book? What would you use it as?

December 25th Caddy Box

December 3, 2022

Hi everyone! I’m back today with a box I created as a companion piece for the Jolly Old St. Nicholas Notepad I shared yesterday. You can find that post HERE. I used Eileen Hull’s Card Caddy Diecut along with a couple of other dies/thinlits. So let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to both sides of a piece of Mat Board and placed patterned cardstock to both sides before cutting out one box and two sides.

To make the sides lay flush on the inside of the box I “peeled” the mat board from the tabs.

I adhered the bottom tab on the side panels to each side of the box.

Next I added adhesive to each of the longer tabs and glued each side of the box into place.

Now for the fun part…adding embellishments! I cut and intertwined two wreaths from the Wreath and Snowflake Thinlits along with raiding my stash of Christmas ephemera and embellishments and decorated one side of the caddy.

I also added a Santa that I had fussy cut from scrapbook paper (I did the same for the notepad) and glued the word “Christmas” to the label that’s included with the Caddy Card Diecut and a poinsettia to finish.

The notepad fits perfectly inside the box! Also as a side note you can create a journal from the Caddy Card Box. Maybe one day I will get around to making one?

Mum Gift Box

November 18, 2022

Hi everyone! I can’t believe next week will be Thanksgiving?! Then we hop right into all things Christmas! Yikes! Have you started decorated your homes for Christmas? I want to but haven’t dug out all my Christmas decorations…even though I really want to. Anyways, I want to share a Fall project I created for Eileen Hull (before I jump all in on Christmas) using the Geometric Box Diecut and the Sunflower Diecut. Let’s get started!

First, I cut three of each of the medium and small flowers from the Sunflower Diecut. I crinkled the flowers with my hand and then shaped the petals with tweezers and a Stylus. I adhered each one on top of each other, starting with all the medium flowers followed by the smaller flowers.

I applied Adhesive Sheets on both sides of the Mat Board along with patterned cardstock ( you will need to cut out two geometric panels and one bottom piece). I adhered the panels together and placed and glued the bottom in place.

I adhered lace around the top of the box and placed the flower with added gem to the center, leaves, cording and glittered berry sprigs to finish this project.

This project came together quickly and if you didn’t want to use it as a gift box you could place a battery operated candle inside and it would make a beautiful home decor piece.

Also if you need ideas for the upcoming holidays be sure to stop by Eileen Hull’s blog to be blown away by the creativity of her teams! You can find those posts HERE and HERE.

How to Create a Decorative Geometric Pumpkin

November 10, 2022

Hi everyone! I’m back with a project I created to be used as a home decor piece using the Geometric Diecut and the center die from the Sunflower Diecut as a flower. Let’s get started!

First, I applied Adhesive Sheets to one side of the Mat Board, removed the protective sheet from the adhesive sheet and carefully placed the patterned cardstock into the mat board. I placed onto the Geometric Diecut, ran through the Diecut Machine and cut two sides and two tops.

I slowly glued the edges of the geometric die to the top and bottom dies.

The second geometric die I adhered to the flap of the other die and slowly glued to the top and bottom of the dies to create the “pumpkin”.

I went to the woods and searched for the perfect “stem” for the pumpkin. I found a small branch and had my husband use a handsaw to cut it down for me.

I adhered the stem to the top of the “pumpkin” before cutting out two centers from the Sunflower Diecut. I crushed both dies before shaping and gluing on top of each other. I added a gem to the center, before adding to the top of the pumpkin along with lace, fall berries picks, mini pinecones, moss and cording bows.
