B is for Bird ATC

Hi everyone! I’m back today with an ATC I created for a swap that Eileen Hull had hosted in her Facebook group. The people that signed up for the swap were paired with a swap partner and all we had to do was create an ATC and use a product by Eileen Hull on the project. I used the Library Pocket ATC Card and Tabs, Alphanumeric and the flowers and leaf sprig from the Folio Page Pocket and Flowers Thinlits.

If you don’t know what an ATC is it stands for Artist Trading Card and they measure 2 1/2″x3 1/2″, the size of a football trading card.

I cut a card and tab from the Library Pocket ATC Card and Tabs Thinlits. I adhered a piece of patterned cardstock off center of the card. Next I fussy cut two birds and the birdhouse from the Let it Snow Art Dolls Printables, glued the birdhouse printable, bits of laces and bird onto the card. Since the top of the birdhouse “hung” off the card I added the tab. Also the birdhouse printable had a small line in it when it printed and since I hated to discard the image I added Rose Gold Luster Wax to the roof to hide the line…it worked. I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of cardstock, placed over the letter B of the Alphanumeric Thinlit and run through the Diecut Machine. I placed the letter B onto the tab along with a flower and finished the front by adhering a flower and leaf sprigs to the bottom of the bird.

For the back of the card I placed the library card stamp, from the Buttons, Cards and More Stamp Set onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked and stamped onto a piece of White Cardstock. Next I cut and glued onto the card along with a flower, leaves, the negative image of the letter B and a bird. I finished by signing, dating and numbering my card. I cut out a library pocket in Vellum, put together and placed the card inside. I kept it very simple.

Now for Jen’s ATCs!!! I absolutely LOVE what she created and all the extras she sent!

She created two ATCS, altered a little holder so I can display the cards.

Look at all the different textures!

Doesn’t the brick on the ATC look real?!? The little holder is perfect and she decorate it with the Mandala Thinlit too. Did I say I love everything?!!

Tea Time with Alice and the Queen of Hearts Tag

Hi everyone! I’m back this month with a whimsical tag I created for Blank Page Muse using the Tea Time Alice and Peek into Wonderland Stamp Set, Bedazzled Diamonds Stencil and Cyan Consortium Paper Pack. Let’s get started!

First, I placed both stamps from the Tea Time Alice and Peek into Wonderland Stamp Set onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Waterproof Black Ink and stamped onto a piece of Watercolor Paper. I used an assortment of watercolors and inks to paint Alice, the Queen of Hearts and rabbit and once dry I fussy cut the image out.

I cut a 8″x3 3/4″ tag from watercolor paper. I added a combination of black and light blue ink to the tag and once dry I used a Mini Polka Dot Embossing Folder to emboss. I lightly inked over the raised areas with a blue chalk ink.

I used the largest tag thinlit from the Tag Collection Thinlits and cut a tag from one of the cardstocks from the Cyan Consortium Paper Pack. I placed the Bedazzled Diamonds Stencil over the tag and applied Crackle Distressed Texture Paste, removed the stencil and once dry I applied a black ink over the stenciled area.

Next I placed and adhered the smaller tag slightly off the larger tag. From my stash I glued an ornate frame diecut onto the tag and placed patterned strips of cardstock on top of that. I placed Foam Pop Dots to the back of the stamped image before placing onto the tag.

I placed playing cards under one side of the stamped image. I used an assortment of flowers and leaves from the following thinlits: Folio Page Pocket and Flowers and Shadow Box Elements Thinlits. I shaped the flowers and leaves with a Stylus, glued together, added either sequin and gems to the center of each before placing onto the tag.

I added loops of thread, pearl sprays and Stickles to the stamped image to finish.

Listen Up Bird Mini Album

Hi everyone! I’m back this week with another project for Eileen Hull. If you didn’t know the theme this month on her blog is Birds, Nests and Eggs and I actually was able to finish a mini album in a bird theme using the Shadow Box Frames Set 1 Thinlits. Last week I shared a Butterfly Boy Tag as a substitute project since this has been a crazy month and wasn’t sure I would be able to crank out a bird project. But I did so let’s get started.

I cut out four of the “frames” in patterned cardstock.

I folded the smallest “tab” on all the “frames” and adhered those together along with the larger tabs to the inside of the larger tab. The larger tab will become the spine of the album.

I glued the fronts and the backs of the frames together to create the front and back covers of the album.

I cut a piece of patterned cardstock the width of the spine and then “butted” the larger tabs together and adhered the strip of patterned cardstock over the tabs. Next I cut to fit and put together the Bookbinding Thinlit and glued onto the inside of the spine. I cut out a total of eight frames, cut the larger tab off of each frames, folded the smaller tab and adhered each frame together to create four pages. Those were then glued to each “hinge” on the inside of the spine.

Now for the fun! I dug into my stash of embellishments along with using the flowers, leaves and sprigs from the Folio Page Pocket and Flower, Shadow Box Elements and Wreath and Snowflakes Thinlits and decorated each page.

I used label diecuts from the Full Size Journal Diecut, Bookplate, Hinges and Label Thinlits (retired) and flowers from theShadow Box Elements Thinlits. Also I stamped the “listen up” sentiment and a label from the Making Plans Stamp Set and used an assortment of embellishments to decorate the cover.

Pull Yourself Together Card

Hi everyone! I am back with another quick and easy card I created! As I had mentioned in a previous blog post ColorBox closed their doors July 31st and I still have a few projects that I created using their product…I know I am slow getting them posted…sorry there is only so much of me to go around in a day but I am getting there. 😕

I started by inking a glass tray with the following Dyestress Blendable Dye Inks: Salmon and Bumble Bee inks, added water, loaded a paint brush and randomly added the ink mixture to the Tiny Dots Creative Card front and then I let dry. I placed the Swirl Dot Art Screen on top of card, inked an Art Dauber with Tomato Dyestress Blendable Dye Ink and rubbed over the art screen. Once I achieved the desired effect I was after I removed the art screen.


I placed the Scallop Square Cutting Template on top of a piece of Watercolor Paper, placed between cutting plates and run through the Diecut Machine.I inked the glass tray with Bumble Bee Dyestress Blendable Dye Ink, added water and placed the scallop square diecut in the ink mixture and once the diecut was completely covered I removed and let dry. I placed the Pull Yourself Together sentiment from the Buttercup Clear Stamps onto the MISTI Stamping Tool, inked with Wicked Black Archival Dye Ink and stamped onto the scallop square diecut. Next I inked an art dauber with Princess Dyestress Blendable Dye Ink and inked the edges of scallop square diecut and adhered to the card base. 

I placed a piece of watercolor paper on top of the Intricate Flowers Border Diecut, placed between cutting plates and run through the diecut machine. I inked art daubers with the following Dyestress Blendable Dye Inks: Fruit Punch, Princess and Inchworm and inked the intricate flowers border diecut and glued to the lower half of the card base. I inked the Mandala Heart Wood Stamp with Wicked Black Archival Dye Ink and stamped onto a piece of watercolor paper.Then inked a glass tray with Princess Dyestress Blendable Dye Ink, added water and painted the stamped Mandala Heart image and let dry. I fussy cut the heart image out with scissors, added Foam Pop Dots to the back and placed on the card. I then inked two art daubers with Tomato  and Posy Dyestress Blendable Dye Inks and inked the lower half of the heart image.

Next I placed the heart stamp from the Thankful Clear Stamps onto the MISTI Stamping Tool and inked with Posy Dyestress Blendable Dye Ink and stamped onto a piece of watercolor paper. I fussy cut the heart image out with scissors and adhered to the larger heart.I finished by adding tulle and thread behind the larger heart. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Gears and Sprockets Dad Tag

Hi everyone! With Father’s Day quickly approaching I want to share a manly tag I created using ColorBox and Eileen Hull’s newest Blends 2 Inks! 

I inked a glass tray with Nutmeg and Golden Blends 2 Inks and added a small amount of water to each ink. I placed the tag in both ink mixtures and once completely covered I removed and let dry. I placed the tag in the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and place between cutting plates and run through the Diecut MachineI inked two Art Daubers with Nutmeg and Flagstone Blends 2 Inks and lightly ink over embossed area and edges of tag.

I inked the glass tray with Stop Blends 2 Ink, added water to the ink, loaded a paint brush with ink mixture and splatter tag. Next I inked the glass tray with Nutmeg Blends 2 Ink, added water to ink and added half of the Handwritten Creative Card to ink mixture. Once completely covered I removed and let dry. I placed the inked card on top of the Rectangle diecut and place between cutting plates and run through diecut machine. I adhered the diecut off center of tag.

Next I placed a piece of watercolor paper on top of three gear diecuts from the Sprightly Sprockets Diecuts and placed between cutting plates and run through diecut machine. I inked the glass tray with Nutmeg Blends 2 Ink, added water to ink and place gear diecuts in ink mixture. Once completely covered I removed and let dry. Next clean the glass tray and ink with Copper and Rose Gold Blends 2 Inks  I loaded two Art Daubers with inks and randomly ink all three gear diecuts and circle diecut from the center of one of the gear diecuts. I applied Opalescent Embossing Powder to all diecuts and set with a Heat ToolI inked all diecuts randomly with Top Boss Clear Embossing Stamp Pad and applied more Opalescent Embossing Powder to diecuts and set with heat tool.

I adhered the gear diecuts to tag and added four gold gems to sprocket gear diecut.

Next ink the letters “dad” with Wicked Black Archival Dye Ink and stamp onto the circle diecut. I cut three nine inch pieces of cording and tie off at the top of tag.

I punched a hole in the circle diecut and with wire snips I cut a small amount of 24GA Brown Bend Wire and thread through cording. I added circle diecut and twist to secure diecut. I curled the wire around pencil. I finished by adding three sequins and a gem to the corner of circle diecut. As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Daydream Paper Clip

Hi everyone! I want to share another project, a paper clip I altered, that was shown in ClearSnap’s booth this past January at Creativation .

I placed the cloud stamp from the Butterfly Clear Stamps onto an Acrylic Block/Precision Press(retired) and inked with Leather Premium Dye Ink and I stamped randomly on one side of the folded piece of cardstock. I inked an Art Dauber with Bahama Premium Dye Ink and lightly ink edges of banner and the cloud images.


I cut the stamped clouds cardstock 8″x3 1/2″ and fold in half, 4″x3 1/2″. I cut a “v” in the end of cardstock to create a banner.

I placed the Daydream stamp from the Butterfly Clear Stamps onto an acrylic block/Precision Press(retired) and inked with Leather Premium Dye Ink and stamped onto a piece of cardstock. Next I cut and folded, inked the edges with Sandstone Premium Dye Ink using an art dauber. I cut two smaller banners from patterned cardstock and slide all stamped and patterned cardstocks around the jumbo paper clip and adhered together.

I punched out a mini butterfly from cardstock and inked an art dauber with Rose Premium Dye Ink and inked the mini butterfly, adhered to the “Daydream” banner and add a Black Gem to the body.

I placed the outline of the Butterfly stamp from the Butterfly Clear Stamps onto an Acrylic Block/Precision Press(retired) and inked the stamp with Leather Premium Dye Ink and stamped onto a piece of White CardstockNext I placed the “filled in” image of Butterfly stamp onto an acrylic block or Precision Press…be sure to line up the stamp with the stamped Butterfly cardstock image…ink the stamp with Sandstone Premium Dye Ink and stamp on top of the stamped butterfly image.

I inked three art daubers with the following Premium Dye Inks: RoseRaspberry and Dandelion and inked the majority of the wings with Rose Premium Dye Ink, ink a small portion of the wings, next to the brown, with Raspberry Premium Dye Ink and the inner and the outer portions of the wings with Dandelion Premium Dye Ink. I fussy cut the butterfly image out.

I adhered the butterfly to paper clip banner, added three Black Gems to the body and clear glitter glue to the dots on the butterfly. I looped several gold metallic and yellow threads and glue underneath the butterfly.
