Fall Photos

Today's layout was inspired by a scrapbook page and sketch created by Allison Davis (@allisondavis4svg) and features the Simple Stories Fall Farmhouse and Autumn Splendor collections.


I designed the layout in Cricut Design Space.  I cut a large hexagon using yellow patterned paper from the Fall Farmhouse collection.  I also cut a thin white hexagonal border from white cardstock.  I adhered the white hexagonal border to the large hexagon and glued this to a white 12x12 piece of cardstock.  I also used my Cricut machine to cut the pumpkins from white cardstock and vines from dark green cardstock.  The leaves were cut from patterned paper from the Autumn Splendor collection. I backed the pumpkins with a piece of orange patterned paper from the same collection.  I fussy cut flowers from two of the patterned papers from the Fall Farmhouse collection.


I used the leaves, pumpkins, vines, and flowers to create two embellishment clusters on opposite sides of the hexagon.  A small cluster of flowers and vines was placed on the top left of the layout.


The title was created using a chipboard sticker from the Fall Farmhouse collection.  I die cut the word "Photos" and adhered it to a strip of white cardstock which was placed underneath the chipboard sticker.  I added a small amount of journaling on strips of white cardstock that were placed underneath the title.


To complete the layout, I added a few more chipboard stickers and ephemera pieces from the Fall Farmhouse collection and used a white gel pen to add stitching to the leaves.


I love the simplicity of the layout.  I hope this inspires you to try a hexagonal design on one of your scrapbook layouts.

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this emboss...

Hello Spring 2022

I love making spring cards.  I get so excited to mix and match the many die sets I have accumulated throughout the year.  Today's cards feature die cut shapes from a variety of die sets.  I created both a vertical and horizontal card layout, changing out the focal image on each of the cards. I started by cutting one of the Sizzix Creative Background dies from the side of a white card panel.  I trimmed a little off each edge and layered it onto a pink cardstock panel.  I cut some grass from light green cardstock using the the grass die from the Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die of the Month Set.  Using the same die set, I cut the sentiment "Hello Spring" from lavender cardstock. You can't have a spring card without lots of flowers, so I scavenged through my scraps of paper to find colors that would coordinate well together.  I used multiple Sizzix Thinlits die sets to cut flowers, foliage, and branches from the scraps of colored cardstock.  I also ...

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water.  I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel.  I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock.  I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock.  I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel.  I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the...
