Create a Retro Christmas Card with Eileen Hull Dies

December 2, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back with a card I created using the Notebook Diecut as the base for this Christmas card. I also used an assortment of thinlits, stamps and stencils all by Eileen Hull. Anyways let’s get started!

First, I cut a card base from the Notebook Diecut and folded in half.

Second, I thought I had did a step out process photos. I did not.

  • Secure it with painter’s tape.
  • Remove the stencil and let the area dry.
  • Once dry cut the stenciled piece down to fit onto the base of the card.
  • Ink the edges of the cut piece with hot pink and pink chalk ink.
  • Cut two mats, one slightly larger than the other and adhered to the stenciled image.

Third, I adhered pink sequins and two different sizes of red flat black pearls to the stenciled image. I glued to the card base.

Fourth, I placed the “sending warm wishes” from the Fan Favorite Clear Stamps onto the MISTI Stamping Tool. I inked the stamp with Black Ink and stamped onto a scrap piece of Watercolor Paper.

Fifth, I matted the sentiment with a piece of red cardstock. I added Foam Pop Dots to the back. Then, I placed it onto the card.

Sixth, I cut a circle from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits. I also cut a snowflake from the Everyday Tags and Labels Thinlits. I glued the snowflake onto the circle, placed Foam Pop Dots to the back before adding to the card.

Seventh and last step, I adhered a sequin and a red flat back pearl to the center of the snowflake. I think the card has cool retro Christmas vibe to it. What do you think?

If you have questions about this card please let me know in the comment section below.

Holiday Snowman Mini Slimline Card

December 2, 2023

Hi everyone! I’m back with a mini slimline card I created using my very own Sparkles Snowman Stamp Set which can be found over at Blank Page Muse. A mini slimline card measures 3 1/4″x6 1/4″ but I have always used a 6″x6″ piece of folded cardstock to create a 3″x6″ card base. This is a lot easier and you can get four cards out of one sheet of 12″x12″ cardstock or you can use a 6″x6″ pack of cardstock like I did. Anyways, let’s get started!

First, I placed the snowman image onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with water proof Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of Watercolor Paper.

Second, I used an assortment of watercolors, inks, pastels and colored pencils to fill in the face of the snowman and once dry I cut out. I added a white diamond dot to each eye.

Third, I folded a piece of cardstock in half from the Cyan Consortium Paper Pack and cut another piece down as a mat for the snowman.

Fourth, I placed the “Happy Holiday” sentiment onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of watercolor paper.

I also cut a piece of the blue cardstock that I matted the snowman image to mat the sentiment and placed Foam Pop Dots on the back before placing slightly off the upper edge of the card.

I added snowflake dies, with a sequin and a gem to each, to the sentiment and face of the snowman. I finished by placing clear sequins in random spots on the card.

I’ll be creating more projects with this stamp set so be sure to come back.

Doilies and Flowers Drawer

May 29, 2019
Hi everyone! I back with another project in the same week for Eileen Hull!  I used the Stacking Drawer Diecut, Flowers and Leaves Journaling Cards Diecuts and Eileen’s new Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets which are perfect for this type of project!

I started by applying the Adhesive Sheet to the Chipboard and adding the patterned cardstock (both sides) from the Best of Jillibean Soup Paper Pad (I think the paper pad is retired) before placing it on top of the Stacking Drawer Diecut and running it through the Diecut Machine. I put it together according to the directions on the packaging.

I cut flowers and leaves from the same paper pad using the Flowers and Leaves Journaling Cards Diecuts and shaped with a Stylus. I fussy cut two doilies from one of the cardstocks and two strips of patterned cardstock.

 Before adhering the strips of patterned cardstock around the cover I added cording, long enough to tie into a bow, around one side of the cover. I glued the doilies on top of along with the flowers, leaves and bows I made out of sewing thread. To finish off the flowers I added glossy dots and sequins to the center of each flower.

I dressed up the inside of the drawer with pink trim…I made a couple of mistakes which I won’t point out…that covered those and no one is the wiser. 😬

I packed all sorts of goodies inside since this is for a swap I am in…I should have taken a photo of all the things before packing it I know. But if I had unpacked it I would have never got it all fit back in the drawer. 😳  Be sure to hop on over to Eileen’s blog and see what the rest of the Inspiration Team has been up to. You can find this month’s blog posts HERE and HERE.

Eileen Hull: Journal Envelope Pocket

March 15, 2017
Hi there! I am back for the third day in a row with another project I created for Eileen Hull’s booth at CHA/Creativation. This journal pocket I created for my foam-dori using the House/Pocket Stitchlits Diecuts. 

I cut four house/pocket diecuts from felt and “stacked” each diecuts end up on end (line up the holes) before stitching together because if you don’t it will make it hard to stitch all four pieces of felt together. I stitched the sides together to create pockets and the flaps I stitched individually.  I used cross stitch thread and did a back stitch on all edges. You can Google or Bing back stitching if you are unsure how to do this stitch.

The bottom flaps I used Fabri-Tac to adhere it to the pocket and the top flaps I added a velcro dot to keep each pocket closed.

I also cut a couple of felt flowers diecuts from the Stitchy Flowers and Leaf Collection and adhered to the flaps of the pocket journal. Now there is a place to hold stickers and washi tape samples in the foam-dori journal. Be sure to stop by Eileen Hull’s BLOG for the latest from her Inspiration Team and as always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Wednesday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Noel Card

September 24, 2016

Hi everyone! I am back with another quick Christmas card I created using the Lost and Found Christmas Collection from My Mind’s Eye. The card base is 3″x6″ and I cut a Scalloped Rectangle (from Spellbinders) out of gold glittered cardstock .

I adhered a strip of patterned cardstock, along with a banner and a Noel sentiment I cut out from the collection.

The miniature snowflake is actually an ornament that I cut the hanger off of it before adding to the banner. I finished it off with a sequin and a mini flatback pearl.
If you have any questions about this card or products I used please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is awesome and enjoy creating!

Beacon Adhesives: Stay Classy Beautiful Card

July 18, 2016

Hi everyone! It’s me Tonya and I am super to excited to be part of the Pop Up with Beacon Adhesive. DCWV, DecoArt and Favor Crafts!

I started with the Classy Copper Premium Pad from DCWV for this card that I created. I cut and folded a piece of patterned cardstock to a 6″x6″ base for the card. I then cut a different  6″x5″ piece of patterned cardstock, distressed the edges, inked and adhered to the base of the card. The pink verbiage cardstock I punched with a decorative punch and added to the base.

The woman image I found on The Land of Nod blog which is no longer there or I would include the link to the blog. I printed the image, fussy cut out but before adhering the image to the base. I cut a scalloped diecut from Beaded Circles from Spellbinders which I glued to the back of a doily and then added off center of the card.

I cut a banner from the copper embossed cardstock (so in love with the copper) and one of the cut a parts and I cut from the pink verbiage cardstock beautiful and used my favorite go to Zip Dry adhesive to glue everything together.

The lace, trim and button I used 3 in 1 adhesive since it is a quick drying glue. No holding everything in place while I waited for it to dry.

I finished off the card with sequins and a dew drop and now it is ready to give to one of my sweet and beautiful friends. If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is awesome and enjoy creating!

Friendship Tag and a Winner!

October 26, 2015

Hi there! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was great since I celebrated my birthday. It was a day spent with my husband which we went out to eat and a little shopping at Michael’s. I was looking for some type of storage containers for my craft room. I bought some snap together kraft paper covered boxes to store my massive amount of cardstock in. Well, after putting both boxes together I am not so sure about them. :-/ A couple of snaps would not snap together for anything…I guess that was why they were on clearance. Oh well, I will make them do since I demolished the packaging. 
Also I want to share the winner from my blog of this past Saturday’s post for the Crafty Card Gallery Blog Hop. 

Drum roll……and the winner is: Sarah Biswabic!!! Congratulations Sarah! Please message me at Mscraftyt@aol.com with your mailing info. Also in the subject line put Blog Hop Winner (I get a ton of emails and might miss it). 

Also I would like to share a tag I created. I had added cardstock to the base but laid it aside and never got back to it. I found it under a pile of cardstock and decided to finish it.

I used some leftover scraps of cardstock, mini pom pom trim, flatback pearls,dew drop and a sequin to the tag and I topped off the tag with a sentiment that I had received in a swap. Lastly I added seam binding and ribbon to the top of the tag. 
If you have any questions about this tag please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is awesome and enjoy creating!
