DIY Pocketfold Mini Journal Tag Trifold

Hey friends! I’m so glad you’re here! I have a super fun (and much easier than it looks!) project to share with you today! I created this Masculine Trifold a while ago and received many requests for a tutorial! So, that’s what I’m sharing today!

I have step-by-step images for you to follow! Let’s get ready to craft!!

I’ve decorated my pocketfold with Time for Tea’s New Release, but you could use anything to decorate these!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this blog post and learned how to make this project! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments by commenting on this post, or messaging me on Instagram!

I prefer using Catherine Pooler Inks and Maker Forte Inks for my projects.
My GO-TO ink for coloring with Copic/alcohol markers is the reMARKable Eclipse Black Ink. (Trust me, it’s the best I’ve used so far.)
If you’d like to shop using my affiliate links, I’d appreciate that! (It doesn’t cost you anything, it just gives me a small portion back to help me fund my passion!)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!! Xx, Amanda

Hope Your Day is a Real Treat!

I am SOOOO freakin’ excited to be part of the Time for Tea Designs design team!!

Are these Enjoy the Little Things and Cafe Critters stamp sets just the CUTEST!?  Eek!  They look so good mix and matched, too!

For this card, I blended a background using Catherine Pooler’s Minted, In the Park, and Deck the Halls inks.  I spritzed it with water and also flicked a bit of white paint on it.

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Please feel free to use any of the affiliate links below to purchase these cuties! It won’t cost you anything, but it WILL help fund my crafting addiction! :). Xx, Amanda

Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Time for Tea Collaboration Blog Hop!
Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies!

I’m so excited to share this card I made with you! I absolutely adore both of these companies’ products! They work SO WELL together! Can you guess which products are from which company? Read on to see!

To create my super vibrant background, I am blending Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust and Grape Crush through the Time for Tea Tiled Wall Stencil. Once that’s done, I am going to very gently go over the entire background with a blending brush that has leftover Sixteen Candles ink on it.

To create the forefront of my scene, I am using the leaves from the Heffy Doodle Tree-mendous Peekaboo Tree Die and blending Melon Ice and Lime Rickey onto my cutout. For the dirt hill, I am using the Heffy Doodle Slimline Scenery Dies and blending Sand Castle and Over Coffee ink onto it. I am then splattering some white acrylic paint mixed with water using a small paintbrush. I’ve also used the Silver Linings Border Dies to create some clouds for the top portion of my scene and have left them white.

Now I’m ready to stamp my little cuties! I am grabbing the Heffy Doodle Hello Squeakheart Stamp Set and the Time for Tea Cafe Critters Stamp Set. I’m coloring them with my Copic markers using purples, greens, and yellows.

I’ve cut out the word “ENJOY” using the Heffy Doodle Stitched Alphabetters Dies and used Melon Ice and Lime Rickey to color them. Once I’ve cut my stamped images out using the coordinating dies, I’m ready to start assembling my card! I’m using Heffy Doodle’s Deep Foam Tape and Glubert Glue. I’m also creating one last sentiment by stamping the word “SQUEAKHEART” from the Hello Squeakheart stamp set on black cardstock with Versamark watermark ink. Then, I’m applying white embossing powder to it and cutting the sentiment into a ribbon using my scissors.

And, voila! Don’t those little cuties look so cute?! 🙂

That’s it for me on this Hop! I hope you enjoyed my card and all the love I put into it!
