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.


Products Used:

656492 - Mat Board

666881 - Sizzix A5 Clear Stamps Set 24PK - Swatch Cards by Eileen Hull

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 - 

*******************

Thank you for dropping by today, I hope i have inspired you with this card from the new Catherine Pooler Release. 

Products Used: 

#666835 In The Clouds Layering Stencil
