Easy Snowflake Card Tutorial Using Notebook Diecut

December 10, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back today with another quick and easy card. I used a few leftover pieces from past projects and the Notebook Diecut to create this. Anyways, let’s get started!

I cut the card out of the Notebook Diecut. I folded in half to create the card base.

These are the pieces I had leftovers. The seal is from the Seal Switchlits Embossing Folder and Thinlits. The snowflake is from the Snowflake Impresslits (retired). And the circle is from the Bookmark, Pocket and Toppers Thinlits. I lightly inked the seal with a chalk ink and adhered each piece on top of each other.

I glued the seal to the base of the card and added a pearl to the center of the snowflake. I added an Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of white cardstock.

I placed “warm” and “wishes” thinlits, from the Starlit Village Thinlits (retired) on top of the cardstock. I ran through the Diecut Machine. I removed the backing from the Adhesive Sheet and placed the sentiment onto the card to finish. This card came together so quickly!

Quick Guide to Making Festive Tags

December 9, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back with a quick and easy mini tag that I created. I used the largest tag from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits and the Plate and Pattern Layered Stencils. Both by Eileen Hull. Anyways let’s get started!

I cut two of the largest tags from the Waterfall Card and Tags Thinlits. One the tags was cut from a stenciled scrap from the Plate and Pattern Layered Stencils. I glued the tags back to back.

The first side I adhered a cut a part Christmas tree to the tag. The Christmas tree definition I matted with scraps of cardstock and glued to the tag. I cut a tiny star from the Charms Thinlits and added to the top of the tree. I finished that side of the tag with red pearls on either side of the definition.

I inked over the stenciled area of the tag with red and pink chalk inks. I glued a scalloped circle, holly and a tiny banner to the top of the tag.

I added a Paper Dolls couple and the “meet me” sentiment to the tag. I finished by adding mini green pearls to the stenciled area on the tag. I added red gems to the berries on the holly to finish. If you have any comments or questions about this project please let me know in the comments below.

Quick DIY Extra Large Christmas Tag Ideas

December 8, 2024

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 Dots to 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.

Transform a Snack Box into a Journal with Notebook Diecut

December 7, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m back today with another recycled project. This time I used an empty Little Debbie snack box to create a journal using Eileen Hull’s Notebook Diecut. A side note, Little Debbie cakes are actually made in Tennessee. The company is located a city over from where I live. Anyways, let’s get started!

For this project I carefully took a part the box. I cut the front panel out, applied an Adhesive Sheets to the back of the panel. I removed the backing from the adhesive sheet and place onto a piece of Mat Board. I placed an adhesive sheet to the back of the mat board. I removed the backing from the adhesive sheet and placed plain cardstock onto it. I then placed it onto the Notebook Diecut, sandwiched between two plates and run through the Diecut Machine.

I used the Crop A Dile to punch holes in the spine of the journal.

I strung elastic through the holes and tied off.

I adhered pockets/tuck spots to the inside covers. I also added a grid notebook to the elastic.

I glued a label that I found in my stash to the spine. I decorated it with a button. I also added color dots, gems and sequins.

I found more labels in my stash that I stacked on top of each other. I added a journal sticker to the label and a gem to finish.

If you don’t have access to this type of product, don’t worry. You can always use another type of box. To create a journal with the Notebook Diecut. Also this notebook can be used to keep up with Christmas lists such as shopping, mailing cards, recipes, etc. You can actually make a journal for any occasion. My plan is to give it to my grandson so he can write and draw.

My Favorite Eileen Hull Projects for 2024

December 3, 2024

Hi everyone! It’s that time of year where Eileen Hull’s Inspiration Team shares their favorite projects for the 2024 year. I found it hard to decide which were my favorite but these are the three projects I choose.

The first project was the extra long matchbox I created for the #12daysofsizzix challenge. I created it by “butting” two Stacking Drawers Diecuts together and covering with cardstock. You can find the blog post with all the details HERE.

My second favorite project I created is a junk journal from the Notebook Diecut. I had fun adding all the bits and pieces to the pages of this journal. You can find the complete blog post HERE.

My third and final favorite project is the decorative box I created using the Storage Box Diecut. I loved using lots of lace and flowers on the lid. You can find the complete blog post HERE.

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.

Create Stunning Christmas Slimline Cards

December 1, 2024

Hi everyone! December is finally here! And whether you like it or not Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. Today I want to share a Christmas slimline card I created. You ask “what is a slimline card”? It’s a long skinny card and the measures are, 3.5″x8.5″. For the base of the card I created, I used the Journal Diecut (retired) which is by Eileen Hull. Let’s get started!

I folded a piece of cardstock in half and I placed it onto the Journal Diecut. The placement was slightly below the cut line of the spine. Then, I ran it through the Diecut Machine.

I added a dollop of Cloud Whip to a paper plate. Then, I slowly added Olive Pops of Color. I mixed it with a Mix Media Spatula until I got the right shade of green.

I used painters tape to hold the Plate and Pattern Layered Stencils (stencil 2) onto a piece of White Cardstock. I applied Cloud Whip with the Mix Media Spatula over the stencil.

I removed the stencil and let the raised image set.

Next, I cut a mat from green cardstock. I lightly inked the edges before adhering to the base of the card.

Since the stenciled image wasn’t as long as the card base. I cut to fit, lightly inked the edges with a green chalk ink before gluing to the card.

I cut two strips of cardstock to cover where I pieced together the stencil image.

I added green gems to the stenciled image. I also cut a circle from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits and adhered to the card.

I placed the “I believe in you” sentiment from Fan Favorites Clear Stamps onto the MISTI Stamping Tool .

I placed painters tape over the “I” and the “in you” of the stamp. I inked the stamp, removed the painters tape and stamped onto a piece of cardstock.

I cut and added a mat to the believe sentiment and glued to the card. I cut a star charm from the Charms Thinlits. Then, I added a piece of gold ribbon to the top of the star. Finally, I adhered it to the circle on the card.

Question, do you make cards or do you give store bought cards at Christmas time? Let me know in the comment section below. Also If you have any questions about this card leave a comment.

Create Stunning Mini Albums: Tips and Techniques You Need

November 18, 2024

Hi everyone! I am back this week. I have the complete reveal of my mini album. I shared a sneak peek of it last month. I created it using the Mini Album Diecut by Eileen Hull. I do not have any step out photos of how I put this together. I’m sharing the finished pages. Anyways, let’s take a look at the completed album!

I created a belly band using the bookmark and tab from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits.

I created a hand stitch notebook. I used the 3D Floral Damask Embossing Folder to emboss the cover of the notebook. I used Rose Gold Luster Wax to bring out the details in the embossed image. The label and the note sentiment I cut from the Floral Pocket and Paperclips Thinlits and added to the cover.

The opposite page I created a tuck spot to hold journaling cards.

These pages I added more tuck spots. The smaller pocket, smallest flower and shaped square comes from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits.

I added a few tag from the Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits.

The next set of pages has a hidden tuck spot and the opposite page has Pom Pom trim.

I added several tags and cards for journaling.

The last page I created a side pocket and added a couple of cards to the pocket.

I forgot to add that I used the Bookbinding and Label Thinlits to adhere the pages to the mini album. So much easier than stitching the pages into the album.

This album was so easy to put together! If you have the Mini Album Diecut what are you going to create with it? Let me know in the comments below.

DIY Autumn Stacking Drawer Project

November 11, 2024

Hi everyone! I’ve been very busy behind the scenes doing things with family and working on upcoming projects for the Christmas season. I wanted to share a quick Autumn/Thanksgiving project. I created it using the Stacking Drawer Diecut and a few other dies by Eileen Hull. So let’s get started!

I covered a piece of Mat Board with some Adhesive. Then, I placed cardstock onto both sides of the mat board. I placed on top of the Stacking Drawers Diecut, sandwiched between the cutting plates and run through the Diecut Machine. I put it together with Zip Dry Adhesive and added Pom Pom trim to the sleeve of the drawer.

I used an assortment of flowers and foliage from the following thinlits: Painterly Blooms and Background Thinlits. I also used Folio Page, Pocket and Flowers Thinlits and Bookmark, Pockets and Toppers Thinlits. Additionally, I used Envelope, Folder and Flowers Thinlits and shaped them with a Stylus.

I glued the flowers and leaves together. I added a pronged diecut from the Geometric Box Diecut. Then, I adhered all flowers, leaves, lace, and thread to the top of the sleeves. I added gems and pearls to the center of each flower and a paper banner and ticket.

I added a tiny pumpkin from my stash to finish the sleeve.

It is the perfect size to add candy or other little goodies. It will look great as a place setting at a get together too.

This drawer is versatile and you can make these for any holiday or special occasion. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below.
