I ordered this awesome die set from CraftStash a while ago and it finally arrived! I had to dive in and make a mini album straightaway. This set is one of many die sets in Tonic Studio’s Memory Book series. There are actually three different Keepsake Insert sets. I only have the Book of Special Memories but I love it so much, I may just have to get the other two now!… Read the rest
I have five nieces and four of them have birthdays the next couple months, so for presents this year I’m making them mini albums! My hope is they’ll enjoy filling the album with photos and every birthday I’ll give them a new album to commemorate that age.
I have two videos to share – one is a showcase walkthrough of one of the albums.… Read the rest
Mother’s day is coming and this year I even got a head start! Good thing too because I had a few “oopsies” and had to make 2 cards multiple times to get the look I wanted.
Here’s my FLIP tutorial video showing how I made all my cards. It’s super sped up so is a short video even though it shows the entire process for all 5 cards.… Read the rest
If you saw my Rose Quartz Swatchbook showcase video and you were curious how to make one for yourself, check out this video. I’m swatching a new designer paper pad I recently got on Amazon. I’ve never heard of the brand, but the quality and design are pretty nice. The only odd thing is the consistency of the paper weight.… Read the rest
I was going through all my paper collections trying to get organized and maybe use up paper packs. But I felt oddly precious about all of my papers — I wanted to save a sheet from each pack just so I could see the unique designs. In particular, I got a lot of mileage (a.k.a… Read the rest

I started making mini albums with the ultimate goal in mind of creating my own wedding album. I’ve discovered a lot of dies (e.g. Tonic Studio’s Memory Books) that you can use to make gorgeous and elaborate memory books. I’ve ordered several, but they haven’t arrived yet, so in the meantime, I’m going back to basics and made a few albums from scratch – all hand-cut.… Read the rest
I love using foam adhesive tape to add dimension to my cards. If you don’t add too many layers of foam, they can go through USPS without extra postage. Before creating my own, I used it rather sparingly because the brand name tape can be expensive — at least compared to other adhesives.… Read the rest
This is one of several separate videos covering different ways you can add custom lettering to your cards or other papercrafting projects.
This video highlights the We R Memory Keeper’s Word Punch Board. I love this tool because you can easily create sentiment strips with a custom message. What’s even better is there’s zero waste because you can use the positive and the negative pieces from the punch!… Read the rest
In my research on what monthly subscription card kit to invest in (post 1 and post 2), I made my own card kit using a 12 x 12 pattern paper pad I already have. The exercise was mainly to learn whether I would enjoy using pattern paper since I haven’t really used it much in my card making.… Read the rest
