I stamped my images from the Naughty List Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers, and then die cut them with the coordinating die set. I cut my Better Not Pout Patterned Paper Pack at an angle and then adhered it straight to my card front. I propped up my stamped image with 3D foam squares.

Have you seen the New Sweet-n-Spooky Bundle from Catherine Pooler?! The release is available now for purchase! Make sure to get your spooky bundle before they sell out!
To make this really fun pocketfold notebook, I trimmed down a piece of Letter size white cardstock to 11″ x 4″ and then folded it into a trifold. Then, I added the too cute Sweet-n-Spooky Patterned Paper to each flap on the inside and the outside.
Then, I created a pocket by trimming down a rectangle piece of patterned paper. I scored at .5″ on 3 sides and then folded at the score lines. Using scissors, I trimmed off the corners of the side and bottom flaps. Next, I can add double sided tape to each flap and then adhere it to my pocketfold.
For the mini notebook, I simply trimmed down a piece of the patterned paper to form a book cover. I folded some regular computer paper to form the pages and then stapled them together. I used red SuperTape to adhere my pages to the cover because this tape is super strong.
I trimmed down some twine to wrap around my pocketfold, leaving enough to tie into a bow.
Here are more photos of the finished mini pocketfold notebook!

Hey friends! Did you see that Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson kicked off an Instagram Hop together today!? You DO NOT want to miss out! They’re BOTH giving prizes away to 3 lucky winners! Woot!! Head to the IG Hop here.
I’m sharing TWO cards I made using this amazing Float Your Boat stamp set that Catherine Pooler’s team made exclusively for Ellen Hutson. Read on to see how I created these cards!
For my first card, I trimmed down my Parqs and Rec Cover Plate Die to change the sizes of the rectangles. (I love when dies can be used in different ways, don’t you?!).
Next, I glued my frame down to my background and then stamped my sentiments using Midnight Ink. I used the White Premium Cardstock to stamp my images from the new Float Your Boat stamp set. I colored my images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating dies. I used 3D foam squares to attach my stamped and cut images to the card front. I added some St. Cloud sequins at the end for a finishing touch!
For my second card, I used Heffy Memo Tape to mask off the bottom of the card front. I used Drive-In and Serenade for my background. Then, I used Black Jack on the bottom of the card for my “road”. I cut the background down using the Notecard Postage Dies. For this card, I stamped images from the Float Your Boat stamp set as well as the Special Delivery stamp set. I added some Sofia sequins to this card!
Those are my cards to share with you today for this really fun IG Hop. I hope you enjoy the Hop and GOOD LUCK!!! Remember, there will be 3 winners! Make sure to check the IG Hop for all the details.

I blended Limoncello and Glitz for my background and then spritzed some water and white paint onto it to create some texture.
To create my paw print pattern on the bottom, I’ve used the little paw included in the More Peeking Pets Stamp Set and some clear glue ink. I’ve added a little sparkle to each paw print for a subtle shimmery pattern.

Did you see my last post where I created that beautiful rainbow background with the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate?? Today, I’m going to share the card I made using it!
To make this card, I die cut the Scattered Hearts Cover Plate on a piece of white cardstock. Once cut, I grabbed another piece of white cardstock and placed it underneath my die cut piece. Then, I blended a rainbow with Maker Forte Flamingo, Yellowstone, and Neon Lights inks. This gives me TWO backgrounds at once!
For my sweet pup, I used Enjoy the Little Things stamp set. I colored him with Copic markers and then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I propped him up with 3D foam squares and put him on a piece of round vellum.
For my sentiment, I grabbed my Brighter Days Sentiment Cards and trimmed out the “just so ridiculously proud of you” sentiment.
For the finishing touch, I added some rainbow colored gems!
The next step was to attach my heart background to a black card base with liquid glue.

Oh my gosh! I love the new Lovebirds Stamp Set, don’t you?! The whole Ex Libris Collection is finally available for purchase now! Woot woot!
Although I ADORE the new ink colors, I am a Party Collection girl myself! So, I wanted to showcase this stamp set using a Party rainbow blended background. I blended Party Dress, Limoncello, and Fiesta Blue to create a gorgeous rainbow background. I also spritzed the background with water to create some texture!
Once I had my background blended, I stamped my birdcages and sentiment straight onto my background. Then, I used a ruler and black Copic pen to draw lines from my birdcages to the top of the card.

I have step-by-step instructions on creating this mini journal.. so read on!
I’m starting out with my uber-professional looking template! 😉 1. Cut a piece of white cardstock down to 4.75″ x 7.25″. 2. Score it at 3.5″ and 3.75″. 3. Round off your corners with a corner punch, if desired.
Grab your patterned paper – I’m using the new Twilight Reading Paper Pack. 4. Cut down smaller pieces of cardstock that are approximately .25″ less for each layer. I’m using the Scallops and Dots Dies and a paper trimmer. 5. If you rounded your edges on your white cardstock base, you’ll probably want to round these off as well. I’m only rounding the right corners.
6. Use a small hole punch or poker tool to create a small hole for a brad. 7. Place a brad in the hole, giving yourself room to wrap twine around a few times.
8. On the inner flap, tape a piece of twine that’s long enough to wrap around your mini journal 2-4 times, depending on what you want it to look like.
9. Glue a piece of patterned cardstock on the front flap to cover the tape and brad. My piece of paper is 3.25″ x 4.5″. I’m also using the same size and paper for the other flap.
I’m going to add a little more interest on the front of mine by stamping some birdcages from the Lovebirds stamp set with the new Apricot ink. Im going to trim that down and glue it to the front.
Now we’re ready to work on the inside! 10. Grab a piece of patterned paper and trim it down to 3.75″ x 2.5″. 11. Score at .5″ and 3.5″. Turn 90 degrees and score at .5″.
12. Use some scissors to cut triangles out of the flaps.
13. Use red tape to secure the pocket to your mini journal.
14. Grab some computer paper. Trim strips that are 8″ x 2.75″. Fold them in half and secure them together with a stapler. Stamp an image in the corner on one or all of the pages. 15. Use red tape to secure it to the inside of your journal.
16. Create some tags out of coordinating patterned paper and stick them in your pocket!
That’s it!
I hope you enjoyed this post and try to make your own mini journal!

To make this card, I used the Stitch Your Diamonds Die on white cardstock. Then, I ink blended it with Apricot, Ginger, and Terracotta inks.

The first card I get to share with you showcase the new Twilight ReadingPaper Pack, the new Apricot Ink, and the new Lovebirds Stamp Set!
I used the Circle Dies to cut out a circle in the bottom right portion of my patterned paper. I blended my circle cutout with the new Apricot ink. I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock and used my circle die to remove that section of my white strip. I stamped my sentiment from the Lovebirds stamp set in the open space on the left side.
I stamped my birdcage with black ink and then used a Copic marker to lightly color it in. I propped my patterned paper up with 3D foam tape to create more dimension. I added some London Mix sequins to finish the card off!

While waiting for that to dry, I cut a panel of white cardstock for the ground. I used the Tiled Wall Stencil and Twilight ink to create little pavestones.
Next, I stamped my images from the Enjoy the Little Things and Cafe Critters stamp sets, colored them with Copic markers, and then cut them out using the coordinating dies.
Finally, I assembled my card using liquid glue and 3D foam squares.

Well hey there, crafty friends! I sure hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Did you get any crafty goodies?! I hope so!!
Today, I’m sharing a Baby Shower card! I love interactive cards and the Slider Pop-up Dies make it so easy to make one quickly!
To create this card, I have blended some gorgeous Catherine Pooler blues on my cutouts from the Slider Pop-up Dies . Next, I’m spritzing the ink with water.
I’ve stamped my images from the Beary Big Heart and Chimply the Best stamp sets. Now, I’m ready to start coloring the images with Copic markers!
To create my leaves, I am using both the Amazonian Leaves and Forest Leaves Dies. To color the leaves, I used Limoncello and Tiara inks. I am gluing my leaves, sequins, and monkey on using Glubert Glue.
Using the Classic Sentiments stamp set and the Chimply the Best stamp set, I’ve created my sentiment on a piece of white cardstock.
Voila! So easy and fun! Plus, it will make a great Baby Shower card that is sure to be gushed over!

Have you picked out pumpkins for carving yet?? We have the cutest little local farm here that has a huge pumpkin patch that we love to go to every year! They have hay rides, corn mazes, and lots of treats! The kids just love going there!
This sweet girl on this card reminds me of my 6 year old daughter! I just HAD to make a card with her. She’s a digital stamp from Kinda Cute called “Girl with Wheelbarrow“.
I printed the image on 80# Neenah cardstock and then colored her in with Copic markers.
I finished the card off by adding some black cardstock and then patterned paper behind it! I hope you were inspired by my post and I hope you’re having a great week so far! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! It really means a lot to me! Xoxo, Amanda
