My First Flipbook

I recently made my first envelope flip book for a dear friend of mine in shades of purple, which is her favorite. I think it turned out really well!

I love the golden flower I glued to the front, and I chose to fasten it with twine.

I handmade the envelopes with my We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board so that I could use my own patterned paper for the envelope bases. I stuffed them all with ephemera and journal cards made using my Cricut and digital paper I found on Etsy, so that she could use them in her own scrapbooking projects (she especially likes journaling on her pages). I think it turned out pretty well, and I’m excited to make another one soon! I hope this inspires your own projects 🙂

Happy crafting, y’all!

Catch Up Crafting

Hello again, crafting world! I have neglected my blog for a number of weeks, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t busy working on new projects.  I wanted to share a couple of things I made in the interim:

Several friends & family members moved into new houses recently, so of course they got cards from me!

Cake & ice cream pocket letter! First time making a full-size, 9-pocket PL.

Lots of Memorydex cards and some bookmarks.

Printed out a bunch of journaling cards to keep in my stash.

I find paper flowers so relaxing to make.

My favorite memorydex so far! I am in love with vintage style of all kinds.

Thanks Pinterest!

Made a bunch of ink-dragged card bases for my stash.

Love this quote – it’s the first time I used a font on my Mac in my art.

Birthday card for one of my managers who’s very into gaming.

Let me know if you have any questions about specific projects, I’m happy to share how I made them.

Happy crafting!

Welcome to the family!

My new mint machines! I’m so in love…

Just this past week, I welcomed a new machine into my craft life–the Cricut Explore Air 2, in mint green of course. It matches my cuttlebug so well!  As far as I’m concerned, crafting is so much easier when everything is matchy-matchy.
