Journaling Card Layout Ideas

The lovely and oh so talented Jenn Stevens sent me this photo of a layout she did using some journaling cards from my etsy shop. I just love her style! Look at those cute little tags layered at the bottom: simple and brilliant! Thanks so much Jenn for sharing! You should definitely go on over to her shop and check her out. Amazing!



These are the journaling spots she used from the shop.


I'd love to see/share your creations too, send me a pic and I'll share your ideas here!

For the Birds....

I've been having fun making bird embellishments! So I thought I'd share a few with you. I made a cute set of journaling cards with vintage bird clip art images and some flourish stamps.


I also made a trio of sweet little felt birds. There wings are made from some vintage inspired fabric.

Birds are so popular and trendy right now, which I love because I love bird images. They remind me of my Gram, she just adored birds. I'll probably be making some of these for the shop soon, in case anyone is interested. :) Have a great morning everyone!

Holiday Place Cards from Journaling Cards

I wanted to show you a fun and different way to use your journaling cards. I used the Fabulous flora Glittered Journaling cards from the shop to make some fun Thanksgiving place cards. They were super easy to make.

All I did was stamp a bracket image on the card and then wrote the person's name in it. Then I added some golden tan tulle and tied it around some berries I cut from a fake fall vine.

I added a piece of chocolate brown felt, stamped a flourish onto white cardstock, and layered it onto the felt. (I think I need to go back and add some glitter to the flourish :)) Then, to make the card stand up, I glued it to a large button. I think they will look cute on my Thanksgiving table, and I can reuse them for my family every year. I hope you'll try to make some too! They could be made for any occasion or holiday. I have some cute new cupcake cards coming to the shop that would be adorable birthday place cards. Hmmmm...who do I know that's having a birthday soon....

Scalloped Fall Felt Mini Album

Here are some more photos of the new fall album. I adore making mini albums, especially out of felt! This one is packed with all kinds of goodies like glitter, more felt, stamps, doilies, buttons, lace and more.

One page for your photos and one page to journal (or layer in another photo).

A detail shot.

All the buttons are covered in glitter!

Another detail shot.

To see the rest of the album visit my shop. I've still got lots of journaling cards to list, so keep your eye out for more! Be sure to check back tomorrow because I have some really fun projects to show you for fall!

I wasn't kidding....

So here is a shot of some of the journaling cards I have been determined to finally get listed. I told you I have become obsessed with creating them. (I mean I get to use all that glitter... how can a girl resist!) I am ashamed to admit this is just the tip of the iceberg too. So, be on the lookout I'm on mission to get them all in the shop as soon as possible.





Also coming soon a fall themed felt mini album, some chipboard minis, cards, and I have a stack of Sparkled Felt Blossoms waiting to be glittered too! Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Journaling Cards Galore and World Card Making Day Celebration!

I have been designing journaling cards a lot lately. I have dozens created that I need to finish and list in the shop. I am kinda obsessed with making them. I sit down to the computer and ooops, time has flown by while I've created 5 new styles to add to the dozen I have yet to list. So, be expecting to see a lot of them popping up in my etsy shop, because I have made it a goal to get them glittered (of course:) and listed! I have a handful of different styles: holiday themes, vintage images, general, baby, retro,... and some cute ones to add to my "Sweet Shoppe" line. Oh, and most of them are glittered, though I have left a few styles without for those of you who like a little less sparkle.

Here is a sample of some Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving themed cards.


Today is also World Card Making Day! So here is a fun little sketch you can use and join in the celebration! And...if you send me a photo of a card you make today, you don't have to use this sketch, I will send you some of my new Glittered Journaling Cards as a little treat! So get scrapping everyone! Enjoy the day!
