Mini Autumn Breezes Journal

Hi everyone! I'm here today to share this mini journal I created for my Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team project. I had actually started this project this past summer but had laid it aside. I wanted to make a mini pocket journal with the "sleeve" from the Stacking Drawer Diecut. I had seen something similar on instagram and thought the "sleeve" diecut to the drawer was the perfect option. 

Before cutting the "sleeve" out I applied an Adhesive Sheet to both sides of a piece of Chip Board and added patterned cardstock before run through the Diecut Machine.

Fast forward to now, the patterned cardstock isn't all that "Autumn like" so I added patterned cardstock from Auburn Lane Collection over the other cardstock on both sides. 

I cut about and inch off one end of the sleeves, measured, marked and punched holes so I could add the Closure Handles (I purchased these at Hobby Lobby).

Next I cut an assortment of patterned cardstock and vellum for the inside pages. That was a total of eight pages per signature with there being three signatures in the journal. 

Here is the list of assorted diecuts I used of Eileen's for the inside pages: Bookmark, Tag and Pocket, Bookplate, Hinges and Label, Floral Arch and Words and the Credit Card Sleeve and Tags (retired) Diecuts. The little pocket diecut I sewed into the center of each signature and then glued close to create the pocket.

Before stitching the pages into the journal I cut a piece of cardstock 1 3/8"x2" and punched holes about 1/4" a part, sewed the pages onto the cardstock and adhered to the inside spine.  

Some of the diecuts I folded cardstock in half and slightly moved into the diecut before running through the diecut machine to create a larger diecut page.

I also cut tags and flowers for the inside pockets. I added a brad to the center of each flower.

The outside of the album I added an assortment of diecuts from Eileen along with store bought diecuts. I created these two frozen Charlotte dolls from a mold and paper clay and I also use the little house diecut from the Christmas House Ornament Diecut. 

I added thread, sequins and gems as filler to complete the front of the journal.

Be sure to check Eileen Hull's blog for the latest projects from the rest of the Inspiration Team!  You can find those posts HERE, HERE and HERE.

As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Autumn Foliage Planner Clip

Hi everyone! I am back with a planner clip I created for Momenta! With Autumn only a couple of days away I decided I wanted to create a planner clip in a Fall theme for my planner.

I started with one of the binder clips from the The Explorer Journal Binder Clips.

I placed a piece of 5/8" stretch elastic around an ink pen and the edges of the binder clip before cutting. Since ink pens are different sizes I didn't include the measurement. You do want the elastic to be a little snuggle so your ink pen won't fall out of the clip.

I adhered each side of the elastic to either side of the clip.

I cut two piece of cardstock from the Metallic Ink Paper Pad slightly larger...height wise and adhered the bottom of each piece to either side of the clip. I cut on either side of the elastic the cardstock and folded the middle piece under.

I adhered the "tabs" of the leftover cardstock that was cut over the backside of each side of the clip.

I cut a couple of leaves from crinoline fabric using the Leaves, Acorn and Wood Grain Cut and Emboss Templates. Also if you didn't know Momenta has a new Diecut Machine too. 😊

I watercolored the leaves with an assortment of orange, yellow and brown inks.

I adhered a piece of ric rac and gems to one side of the clip. I added one leaf to the corner of the clip, a couple of sequins, thread and cording to the center of the leaf.

I clipped the planner clip to one of my notebooks and then added an ink pen. 

It's a perfect and stylish way to keep my ink pen handy.

Thankful Gift Box

Hi everyone! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away?!?! Where has the time went to??? I thought I would share a little gift box I created for ClearSnap.

I carefully took a part and emboss each section of the box with the Wood Grain Embossing Folder. Next, I loaded three Art Daubers with the following inks: Candies Yam, Red Barn and Pumpkin Spice Inks and lightly rub in random spots to give a wood grain texture on the box. Once I got the desired wood grain effect that I wanted I put the box back together.

I inked a glass tray with Flagstone and Coconut Inks and add water to each color. I loaded a paint brush with Flagstone Ink mix and splatter each side of the box. Clean brush and load Coconut Ink mix and splatter each side. I fussy cut a doily from the DIY Shop Paper Collection and adhere to the top of the box.

I cut from the Crinoline fabric flowers using the Journaling Cards, Flowers and Leaves Diecuts and lightly ink the center of each flower with Canary Ink.

I added a drop of adhesive to the center of each flower. Next I laid each flower diecut on top of each other and pinched the center of all the flowers and shape.

I inked the feather stamp from the Thankful Stamp Set with Wicked Back Ink and stamp onto a piece of patterned cardstock. I did this twice and fussy cut each feather.
Next, I inked and stamped in Leather Ink the "Thankful" sentiment and two leaf sprigs. I also inked the edges of the sentiment with Butter Chalk Ink and fussy cut the leaf sprigs out and inked another leaf sprig with Clear Top Boss Embossing Pad. I added Copper Embossing Powder, set with a heat tool and fussy cut image out.

I glued the feathers, leaf sprigs and several loops of cording and thread to the upper corner of the box. I added the "Thankful" sentiment to the lid and finish off with flowers and sequins. 

I would like to also submit this project for the following challenge:
