In My Heart - Sizzix

Hello Creative Friends:

I wanted to share another Mini Junk Journal I put together.

"In My Heart"

This is designed using the Eileen Hull Designs Handbound Journal (666882) for Sizzix. I used the Sizzix Mat board in White for the base after covering the front and back cover for the base. I used white elastic thread to bind the spine and pages.

The beautiful paper is the "Urban Blue Denim" - Lu-Mania by Ciao Bella Paper. Its vintage, floral design was perfect for this great little mini.

I added some layers of paper to the cover and fussy cut one of the butterflies from the collection. I love how this turned out, and cannot wait to share images of the inside pages soon.

I hope i have inspired you to create a Handbound Journal using Eileen Hull Designs Journal Dies. They cut through matboard like butter!

Follow Your Heart

Hello Creative Friends:

I recently got my hands on Lu Mania Time Capsule - Junk Journal Paper designed by Ciao Bella Paper. I love this collection! It's perfect for all your paper crafting projects. Especially any Junk Journal project.

I put this Junk Tag Book together using the new Sizzix Snap and Swap Large Tag Dies ( 666826) by 49 and Market.

I created a hinge to tie all the tag pages together. I also put my laminator to work and laminated some of the elements i fussy cut from the Ephemera Pages in the collection.

I purchased these from R&R Scrapbooking! Great Customer Service! and Quick Shipping too, thanks Rhea

I hope i have inspired you to use those Snap and Swap Dies,

they are a great size for a mini tag book.

Art Therapy in Progress - Sizzix

Good morning Creative Friends and welcome back to my blog.

Today I am sharing with you a totally unique project designed using the new release from Eileen Hull for Sizzix.

I have to admit, i often look at a color wheel and see Windmills. So i though why not do that. My background was inspired by Team Member Chris Collins, who shared a tag where the background was embossed on Mat board.

What an awesome technique ( Thank you for the inspiration Chris) and she mentioned it was Eileen who inspired her, so Eileen back at you for this awesome technique.

I cut a tag using the Mat board, then embossed a couple areas using the die from 666880 Rainbow Wheels

I used the Stamp Set 666881 - Swatch Cards and heat embossed and stamped the large color wheel and the smaller wheel stamp.

I layered 6 die cuts to create the windmill, and set this on vellum. The Windmill stand was cut from cardstock and i used rust paste to age it and resemble metal.

thank you for dropping by today.

Thinking of You - Sizzix

Hello Creative Friends and welcome back to my blog. I am sharing another card created with the new release from Catherine Pooler for Sizzix.

What a sweet card to let someone know you are thinking of them.

I began by using the #666835 In The Clouds Layering Stencil and just one ink color. I just applied a lighter or heavier pressure for each layer using Speckled Egg Distress Ink. I really love how that turned out.

I then die cut the sweet air balloons using #666830 Up and Away#2

The small flowers are part of the Stamp Set #666829 Up and Away as is the sentiment. The pattern paper is from my scraps, and I believe it is 49 and Market -

Sending Hugs - Handmade Florals

Good afternoon creative friends, welcome back to my blog.

We had a two day ice storm here in northern Ontario this past weekend which allowed me to hibernate to my craft room.

I have been wanting to dig into my floral dies and designed this card. The background is a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders. I inked the paper with Black ink then ran it through with the Embossing folder. I splattered it with gold metallic ink.

The florals are from Elizabeth Craft Designs by Angelica Turner. Florals 26 and I created a Gerbera Daisy . Inks are from Catherine Pooler.

My pulled out my Glimmer machine and used a Pinkfresh Sentiment set. It has been a while since i have used that too :)

I hope you like my card and thank you for dropping by today.

Materials Used:

Pinkfresh: Blanket Stitched Octagon along with

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Seasonal Classics Collection - Dies - Florals 26
