What an exciting month! Let’s start with the BIG news — fresh off of hitting 500 YouTube subscribers, I decided to apply to a handful of design teams (again). It’s a bit scary putting yourself out there. Rejection is real. However, you lose more by never trying, right? Well, I’m so proud and excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Paper Sweeties Design Team and the Kat Scrappiness Influencer Team!… Read the rest
Looking back on my August makes, I see a lot of albums, journals, etc. At the moment, I am a little obsessed with book making (albums, journals, etc.). This time of year is a nice break from card making because I don’t have too many birthday cards to make. So I’ve been dabbling in bookbinding and learning how to create my own journals (more on that to come in September).… Read the rest
I’m so glad I got an early start on my Christmas / Holiday crafting! I know it will a good chunk of time to make all the crafty presents I’m thinking of creating. I am making both holiday-themed projects as well as Christmas gifts I’ll be giving out this year.
Here’s my current “to-do” list for the holiday crafts I want to make this year.… Read the rest
I ended up doing quite a bit of crafting recently, so here’s a quick recap of my crafty makes from this past month! I had quite a few craft kits I was working from – Tonic Studios, Pink & Main, Sizzix Craft Box, and The Stamps of Life Die Hard.… Read the rest
In my Rose Quartz Swatchbook Share video, you saw the little mini swatchbook I created using the Tonic Studios Legacy Keepsake Wallet die set.
In these two videos, I’ll be showing you how to put these cute little albums together. There are two binding methods I use — one for my designer paper (which is more of a keepsake) and one for my solid cardstocks (which is more functional for coordinating papers).
I’ve started to swatch all the papers in my stash — yep, ALL of them!!
I recently picked up the Tonic Studios Legacy Keeper Wallet Die set. It’s an older die set, so I don’t know where you can purchase it nowadays. I bought mine on Amazon.com not too long ago, but it looks like it’s unavailable now.… Read the rest
This is the second style of advent calendar folios I created. The main difference from the first style is in the box construction. I’ll be honest though, this method needs tweaking. After I put the candies in, I found the lid isn’t secure enough to hold the candy in. I had to make more advent calendars in a hurry and didn’t have time to redesign this one, so I ended up making the rest of my advent calendars in the first style.
This was the Tonic Craft Kit that sold me on the subscription. I love the color theme for the kit — which turned out to be the White Wonderland color trend (*). The dies are fantastic also because not only are they great for cards, but when I saw them, I knew I wanted to make a mini album.… Read the rest
Love how this advent calendar folio turned it. It was my first time making one and it came together so much more quickly than I thought it would. I’m not as worried about making the next 5 advent calendars I’m planning on. LOL 🙂
In this version, I’ve made boxes that have separate lids.… Read the rest
I fell in love with making mini albums using the Spellbinders card kits after the mini-album I made using the “Love the Moment” kit. I kept thinking of different page layouts I could create using the card bases provided in the kit and I just had to make another album.
