Lucky Tag

March 17, 2016

Hi everyone and Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I want to share a quick tag I created. I started with the Tag and Bookplates die and cut a tag from a piece of Good Luck on Ivory cardstock.

The heart diecut is a retired diecut from Stampin’ Up! and I use a scrap of cardstock for the heart. I inked around the edges of the tag and the heart in green ink. I adhered the heart and a strip of green foil wrapping paper to the tag.

I printed from the computer the lucky sentiment, cut it into the shape of a banner and glued it along with a shamrock I had received in a swap and some gold metallic thread to the corner of the tag. I finished off with an assortment of ribbon, Ric Rac, seam binding and bakers twine. There you have it!  Easy Peasy tag! If you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Saint Patrick’s Day is awesome and enjoy creating!

A Little Bit Planner Crazy

March 16, 2016

Hi everyone! I am back to share a quick post on these cuties I created for my planner. If you are planner nerd like me you are always searching for cute things to dress up your planner and if you are like me you don’t have lots of money to buy everything you see so you have to get creative.

So after I received a planner clip in a monthly kit that I was subscribed to I looked it over and decided I could create my own. All I used was leftover bits and pieces of cardstock, Matboard, paperclips, Mini Freshed Brewed and Vintage Telephone and Typewriter Movers and Shapers Diecuts and this is what I came up with.

After cutting out all the images on Matboard I adhered a paperclip to the back of each one of them and let dry. Next,  I cut two of each image out from cardstock. I like to cover up the back so you don’t see a big glob of glue. Plus it makes it look neater. 🙂 
I cut out more diecuts from cardstock which I fussy cut the indented images from the diecuts like the lids, bans, etc. which I ink and then glued to the diecuts.  Also I added a bit of lace to the dailer of the phone, mini flat back pearls for the keyboard of the typewriter and a mint green jewel to the coffee band. 🙂
I so loved how these turned out and I have more ideas for planner paper clips that I will be creating and sharing in the near future. If you have any questions about these please let me know.
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Wednesday is awesome and enjoy creating!

Ghost Passport Mini Journal

October 20, 2015

Hi everyone! I am here to share my mini passport journal for this month’s s Hauntings and Holidays for Eileen Hull’s inspiration team project.
This is the first time using the Passport Book diecut and I can honestly say I LOVE IT!!! And I can see me using this one over and over again since I love creating junk journals so much.

I used a variety of leftover stickers, embellishments, printables from previous projects and swaps to create this little journal. The pumpkin diecut is from Tim Holtz and the Frame diecut is from Brenda Walton.

The covers and spine are cut from Mat Board and I stitched the pages in with black thread and then tied fiber, lace and ribbon on to the thread to add more color.

I used the following Halloween collections from Canvas Corp, 7 Gypsies and The Robin’s Nest for the pages inside the journal.

Also I included a little video to let you have a look inside. 

If you have any questions about this project please let me know. Be sure to check out the rest of the teams projects because I am sure they will knock your socks off. Also each month there is an Art with Heart Challenge that you can link your own project up to the blog and there is a chance to win one of Eileen’s diecuts too. Now who doesn’t love winning??? 🙂

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

"Hope" Chest

October 6, 2015

Hi everyone! I am here to share another project I created for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I used Eileen Hull’s  Train Case Diecut for this hope chest. I cut the case from mat board and the following Canvas Corp cardstocks: Pink and Ivory Ribbon Stripe, Pink and Ivory Toile and Pink Lemonade Thickstock and put together according to the directions. The Pink Lemonade Thickstock was used for the top lid which I embossed with Brenda Walton’s Floral Tapestry Embossing Folder (retired).

Instead of using the diecut closure (hinges included too) that comes with the Train Case I added this closure that I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

The hinges I have had for several years and I am just now getting around to using them. I also adhered pom pom trim around the lid and base of the case. 

I glued trim and flat back pearls to the inside.

The top of the lid I decorated with two diecuts (Tim Holtz: Spring Greenery, Brenda Walton:Medallions…retired),store bought paper flowers, tulle and twine. I did punch out flowers from the Yellow and Ivory Mini Dot Reverse and 80 lb. Ivory cardstocks which I shaped added sequins and a  Dew Drop to the center of each one. The ivy and twigs are from the Spring Greenery Diecut which I cut from the Gypsy Moments: Take Our Breath Away Cardstock. I did ink the ivy with chalk ink for a deep green color around the edges of the leaves. The twigs I added sequins and Crystal Stickles to the center of each sequins. I foresee me creating several more of these little train case in the future. 
If you have any questions about this project please let me know.

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

Tick Tock a Fairy is in the Clock

September 19, 2015

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a project I created Tim’s Holtz’s Tick Tock Clock diecut and part of Eileen Hull’s  Cookie Box diecut. I had got my inspiration from Lisa’s blog and you can find her post here..I had got the clock diecut on clearance but had never used it and after seeing Lisa’s take on the clock I just knew I had to create one for myself.

I cut two of the clock images from mat board but cut the top part(the bells and handle) off of one of the dies and then embossed with the Cracked embossing folder. 

From the cookie box diecut I cut out the “walls” one and a half times and embossed with the Dot Matrix embossing folder.
I sprayed one side of all the diecut pieces with Tattered Angels Verdigris spray and let dry. I absolutely LOVE the end result! The finish gives the clock an old and weathered look. Next I lined the inside of the clock with cardstock from the Conservatory 6″x6″ Paper Collection and then adhered all the pieces together.

I added bits and pieces of dried moss to the inside. Then printed and fussy cut the fairy image which I found from the Land of Nod blog and adhered it to moss. I made sure there was a good amount of moss behind the image so it would stand up straight.

I used several different flower punches to create from the following Canvas Corp cardstock: Pink and Ivory Zebra and Yellow and Ivory Mini Dot Reverse cardstocks flowers which I shaped and added sequins and Dew Drops to the centers. The leaves I cut from the Gypsy Moments: 12×12 Take Our Breath Away cardstock using the Spring Greenery Diecut which I shaped also.

I adhered the flowers, leaves and pearl sprays around the fairy and to the top of the clock. I can honestly say this is my most favorite project…at the moment! 😉 Thanks to Lisa’s blog post I would have never thought to use this clock the way she did. 🙂
If you have any questions about this project please let me know.

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

Moments

February 15, 2015

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this card I created using the Sizzix Card, Retro Camera diecut that I bought at Hobby Lobby on clearance for only $7.49. LOVE deals like this! I ran a piece of Brown on Brown Glitter Cardstock through my diecut machine. I also embossed at the fold of the card using the Tim Holtz Texture Fades Dot-Matrix embossing folder. I had decided I was going to go steampunk with this camera. So next I cut the “zipper teeth” off of a piece of zipper which I adhered to card. I cut a small piece of vellum which I inked and then glued to the inside of the card to created the view window and added two 7 Gypsies Dome Studs for the button.

I started with Sprightly Sprockets gear diecuts and before I adhered them to the top of the card I spritzed some with Tattered Angels Verdigris Glimmer Mist and let dry. I also added some Tim Holtz gears, a gold sequin and a brown dew drop.

I also used a bottle cap as part of the lens too.

I added the “moments” coin to the flash and finished off with a dew drop. Later I think I will try to create a mini album with this camera diecut. 🙂 If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

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

Enter at Your Own Risk

October 30, 2014

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a  project I created for Eileen Hull’s Trick or Treats Art with Heart Challenge and Sizzix Halloween Challenge.
I used the Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Box Square and the Sizzix Bigz XL Die Country Cottage 3D to create this spooky cute haunted house. 

I decorated an empty spool which had lace wound on it with cardstock, chipboard alphabets, a ghost and moss.

I added a spiderweb sticker from Pink Paislee and scream verbiage that I cut from some scrapbook paper. I also cut from cardstock On The Edge Die Iron Gate which I glued around the top edge of the ATC block along with some moss.

The roof is cut from glitter chipboard and I adhered vellum inside the little house for the windows. The oval Halloween saying is a free image that I got last year from Ephemera Vintage Garden.

The witch is a cut a part which is from the Echo Park’s Chillingsworth Collection. Love this collection!!! 

You can open the little house up and add a little tea light too. I apologize for the photos not being the best but I had no sunlight and it was late in the day when I was able to do my photo shoot but I hope you liked what I shared 🙂

There is still a little bit of time to submit your projects to both the Eileen Hull’s Trick or Treats Art with Heart Challenge and Sizzix Halloween Challenge. I know I cut it very close this month but I’ve been busy with magazine calls, repainting the dining room which should have been easy but wasn’t…the “popcorn” from the ceiling was coming off as my dad was rolling the paint on. Needless to say we had to scrape the “popcorn” off the ceiling and now there is a fine coat of dust all over everything…can we say yuk?!?!? Tomorrow my parents are coming back to the house and hopefully I will not have any more mishaps…fingers crossed.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Supplies Used:
Sizzix: Eileen Hull’s: Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Box Square, Brenda Walton’s: Sizzix Bigz XL Die Country Cottage 3D, Tim Holtz: Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die Cobblestones and On The Edge Die Iron Gate
Robin’s Nest: Little Friends Ghost
Chipboard Letters, Cardstock, Scrapbook Paper, Moss, Stickers, Vellum, Black Bead

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

Fall Back Junk Journal Rolodex Holder

September 22, 2014

Hi everyone! I am here to share my project that I created for the Eileen Hull’s September Art with Heart  Fall Back Challenge. I decided I wanted to try my hand at creating a rolodex holder with the Scoreboards XL Die Box Square and this is what I came up with. As seen below I cut out three of the box shapes from mattboard. 

Next I measured and cutdown the boxes to form my rolodex holder.

I adhered all edges together.

Cloths pin come in handy and keep everything from coming a part while it dries.

I glued the chevron cardstock in the bottom of the holder and then cut two pieces of mattboard and punched holes which I used a rolodex as a template to center the holes. Next I cut two rounded  dowels to fit and then painted with a soft yellow acrylic paint.

I covered the box with cardstock, placed the dowels in the holes, added legs and finished off with a “imagine” sticker from my stash.

I do have a rolodex diecut but it is smaller than the holder so I dug out my rolodex punch (you can get this at an office supply place). 

I went through my massive stash of scraps of scrapbook paper, cardstock, graph paper and book pages and punched out twenty cards for my holder.

The plan is to “try” to either decorate or journal something everyday on each of the cards. Also I plan on create more cards as I go along…fingers crossed. 😉 

Be sure to stop Eileen Hull Art with Heart Challenge and check out the rest of the entries for more inspiration!

I hope this inspires you to create one for yourself. If you have any questions about this project please let me know.

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