~ now for the tutorial you have been waiting for ~ 


Start by die cutting 20-30 sheets using the notepad die.  Use copy paper and die cut 3 or 4 at a time to speed things up.  On some of these I stamped grids and lines to the sheets.



Die cut the notepad die again 4-6 times using thick card stock and/or patterned paper  (These will be the dividers)

How many dividers and copy paper will be dependent on the size of jump ring or binder rings you use.

COVER
From card stock cut the largest stitched rectangle die, cut in half. 
Using the notepad die mark with pencil on the inside of each side where the holes are and hole punch. 

Glue and add on patterned paper to the front of the scallop die cut and hole punch again.


With the card stock/patterned paper notepad die cuts glue on tabs.  Some tabs I doubled up for extra interest.

Stack covers, dividers and lined paper together.
Using large jump rings/ or small journal rings feed through holes and close with jewelry pliers.
Attach chain and beads to top jump ring.  Make chain long enough to use as a page marker.
Finish the cover by wrapping 2 thin strips of ribbon leaving enough length to tie a bow.  Glue ribbon in place on back and layer die cuts with more glue to secure ribbon.
For the front add a flag and rounded rectangle die cut, glue in place.  Place ribbon over top and glue down.  Add the stitched label over top with liquid glue.  
Finish with another rounded rectangle, a sentiment and hot glue on a button. 
You can also add the months using the Everyday Calendar and cute images.

Playing along with the “Seasons”challenge using the newly released Sloffee Stamp Set from Your Next Stamp. We are in the middle of winter and it’s been super cold here. So when the theme came up for seasons I thought this sloth hanging out in a cup of flowers was the season I would like to time travel to right now. I hope you enjoy my take on a season other then winter.

To make this card.

I inked up a white card stock panel with oxide ink in the colours kitsch flamingo and squeezed lemonade. I added on top the flower panel die and tea cup die. I added some polka dots with a white gel pen to the cup as well as a heart background stencilled to the back.

I did some quick colouring on lots of pretty die cut flowers which I glued on top and behind the cup. I finished the card with the sloth glued on top of the cup and a sentiment attached to the middle.

Thanks for stopping by,

I kept my card simple by layering the mini slimline Deckle edge dies and tying some twine off to the side. I coloured and cut the lilies and attached them with dimensional tape to create a little more dimension.

There’s some sweet and exciting products that just showed up in the Your Next Stamp store just in time for Valentine’s Day!

You can shop all of the new release here.

Your Next Stamp

Today I’m sharing two cards using the adorable Sprinkled With Love Stamp Set.

This release is filled with so much sweetness. From cocoa to cotton candy and with a pair of adorable sloths thrown in there is way to much cuteness for everyone.

I thought these images would look great with yummy rainbow colours.

I kept the donut card super simple with a coloured background panel layered under the mini slimline star die with a inked up blue background. I added a bit of foam tape under the donuts and sentiment to prop them up off the card and add a bit more dimension.

For the sweet cotton candies I gave them a fun shaker card to hang out on. I filled it with lots of yummy shaker bits over a rainbow heart background. I added a die cut to the top of my shaker using the Honey drip die and finished the card with a sentiment and those cute cotton candies attached with dimensional tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting. I hope you enjoyed my cards today!

Herd it’s your birthday

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! I’ve had so much fun and am so excited to have had the opportunity to guest design this month with all these insanely talented artists. For my last card guesting I used the beyond adorable “moo” stamp set. My plan was to use one of the cows for this card but couldn’t decide which one was cuter so in the end 3 of them made there way on to it and I’m so glad they did. I love how this card turned out.

Here’s how I created this card.

Start with a white slimline card base.

On top layer a white scallop slimline die cut slightly smaller.

Next make a slightly smaller slimline frame and ink up with oxide ink in the colour tattered rose.

Ink up a piece of white card stock with a cobblestone stencil using oxide inks in the colours antique linen, gathered twigs and brushed corduroy. Die cut a cloud border die strip (enough to cover the bottom of your slimline) and some additional clouds from your inked panel.

Position and glue the cows heads, clouds and larger cloud to the back of the frame. Glue some grass strips behind the bottom of the large cloud at bottom.

Add foam tape to the frame and attach to top of card.

Add a cow to the bottom and a sentiment stamped on a white cloud with dimensional tape.

Finish the card with a few nuvo drops.

Crafty hugs,

Allie

Technique Tuesday Winter Pines

Published on by allie030Leave a comment

Thanks for stopping by!, Today I’m playing with the new winter pines stamp and die from Technique Tuesday

With Christmas right around the corner I created some cute Christmas cards that were so quick and easy to make. You could also skip the card step and add some extra string to create some pretty tags.

I was so happy with how these turned out and how easy they were to make.

I put the stamp aside and used just the Winter Pines Crafting Die to create these happy cards.

I first made the card bases by hanging a circle die cut slightly over a scored and folded card base and ran through the die cutting machine.

I inked up white card stock with oxide inks in rainbow colours. I used the winter pine die to cut from the inked up sheet.

I added white flicks of oxide ink and finished with shimmer spray. I used my heat total to set it faster because I am impatient.

I die cut 2 circles from white card stock. 2 per card. For each card I used the winter pine die to die cut a tree out of the center and stamped around the tree with the pretty snowflakes included in the stamp set.

I then added foam tape to the back of the stamped circle die cut and attached to a solid white die cut circle. I glued the tree die cut into the opening.

I finished the card with some peppermint embellishments and a string bow at the top with a mini pom pom center.

Crafty hugs,

Autumn mice

Published on by allie030Leave a comment

Hello Newton’s Nook fans!, I’m back again this week with another card using the adorable autumn mice. These cuties with their fall settings cover both my love of mice and fall.

To make this card.

Start by scoring your card stock in half and placing a larger circle die on top with the top of the circle hanging slightly over the score line. Run through die machine.

Next glue a larger scalloped circle die cut on top of your card base. Die cut a slightly smaller circle and with wild honey oxide ink ink the second part of the argyle stencil and glue on top of your scalloped circle.

Next layer yellow card stock, a white cross stitch die cut and an inverted scallop in the shape of a circle to the center with dimensional tape.

Attach mouse and sentiment with dimensional tape.

Finish the card by gluing in some leaves behind the mouse and adding nuvo drops and a twine bow.

Crafty hugs,

Allie

Hammie Sweetness

Published on by allie030Leave a comment

So excited to be able to share a cute project using some Your Next Stamp goodness. For this card I made a fun circle card using the super cute Hammie Sweetness Overload Stamp Set

To create the card base use a circle die on a folded card base. Leave the top of the circle slightly overhanging above the score line. Run through die cutting machine.

I started by ink blending a panel using distress oxide inks and splattering with picket fence oxide ink.

I used both the Star Circle Frame Die and Circles With Stitching And Piercing Marks Die Set to cut from the ink blended panel.

Next I used a scallop circle die cut in white card stock and glued the large inked circle panel directly on top.

Using a smaller white scalloped circle frame I attached the small Star Circle Frame Die cut directly on top with glue and added to my card base with foam tape to create more dimension.

I coloured and cut hammie and attached him to the card with an action wobbler and glued down popcorn pieces (when he wobbles it’s like he is spilling them)

I finished the card with a sentiment and added the card base to the back of my rainbow stack.

I hope you enjoyed my take on a fun mini circle card.

Crafty hugs,

Allie
