Witch Hat and Spell Book Decor Set

Hey everyone,  Michelle here today with a new project using the  Witches and Wizards collection.  This collection has a definite Halloween feel to it so I decided to make some decorations.

 

 

I went looking into the Silhouette store and found this cute little spell book box.  The dark red paper was the perfect look for an old spell book!  I haven't decided what I'm going to put inside yet.  Maybe I'll hide some treats and I won't tell the kids!  hehehe

 

 

I then found this witch hat and I knew I had to make it too!  It was the perfect addition to create this cute set!  

 

 

I embellished both pieces with some element stickers from the collection.  They turned out really cute!  Can't wait to display them at Halloween!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

School Uniform Pencil Box

Sharpen your pencils. It's back to school time! This is the time of year when students prepare for learning with new haircuts, shiny shoes, and of course...school clothes! My Uniform Pencil Box was inspired by the School Rules "Student Plaid" Patterned Paper. It's a fun plaid that is reminiscent of the standard school uniforms that are worn by schoolchildren throughout the country. The box is fully functional and is large enough to hold pencils as well as other small things, but small enough to fit in a locker. And it's cute enough to make the tweens squeal!

 

 

The lid of the Uniform Pencil Box features a group of pleats "skirting" the sides. The pleats were made with my scoreboard and a bone folder and although they took a bit of time, they were so fun to make! I topped my lid with a fun frame from the School Rules Frames & Tags Ephemera, and a word that I cut using the School Word Die Set. I love that font. It cut beautifully!

 

 

Pencils are a school item that often disappears. Personalize your pencils with cute pencil toppers made with the School Rules 6X6 Paper Pad. The sweet little owl was cut from a page in the 6X6 Pad. Don't worry. There are enough owls on a page to keep their pencils cute all semester!

 

 

This school year may look different, and it will certainly be remembered. Capture those memories and celebrate the learning with the School Rules Collection from Echo Park Paper.

School Days Mini Album

Hello friends, It’s Dorymar today with a fun School Days mini album with the new School Rules Collection from Echo Park.

I created this album from scratch and the measurements are 6x7x2.25” and have 6 pages.  On the cover, I decided to create a shaker with a piece of chipboard and a clear page. Inside the shaker, I adhered a beautiful girl sticker and a cute die cut from the collection.

Inside the album, you find a lot of space for photos and stories to be added later. As always, I love to create pockets, tags, flaps, and fun backgrounds to add photos and journaling.

The collection has many colorful patterns and I love to use all, in all my pages I incorporated many patterned papers for my layers and also fill the pages with the fantastic stickers and die cuts.

One of the things I love about the collections are the journaling cards, they are perfect to create flap and pocket but also inserts to add photos and journaling. They give me a lot of space and a beautiful color on my pages.

The School Rules Collection is perfect for saving some of your favorite school memories.  The colors are perfect, the patterns are fantastic, and the theme is especially important for every mom!

I hope this colorful project inspires you to create a fun school project to document your child’s school memories.

"School Rules" Academic Planner

Hello there again amazing crafty friends!  It’s Lydia Cost today, and today I’m sharing a little tutorial of how I created this great little academic planner for the upcoming school year.  This will be the first year that I need to do some massive planning for my kiddo; scheduling lunches, pick-up times, and homework.  I know I’ll need to keep a little planner in my bag to track all his activities.

The School Rules collection was perfect for putting together a fun disc bound system perfect for my planning goals.  I decided on a half letter size, because it will fit in any purse or bag that I plan to throw it in.  I planned to include the 10 month academic schedule, and then add in a weekly spread for each month section.  This meant I needed 2 covers, 10 monthly tabs, and 5 internal pages per section.

I set out picking out the perfect patterned papers for each of my planner dividers and covers.  The 12x12 papers are perfect for this because they accommodate the 8.5 x 5.5 size very well.  I cut out an 8.5 x 11 size sheet of paper, and then split it in half for my front and back cover.  I’ve provided some great templates for you to use to get your covers and tabbed inserts perfect.  You can download them here.

Next I picked 5 different papers (10 designs total) to create my tabbed inserts.  These papers were so fun, and both sides of the patterned papers were perfect for creating monthly tabs inside my planner.  After choosing my papers, I set out to get them cut out, so they would fit perfectly in my planner.  I chose to hand-cut mine from paper; however, I’ve provided the PNG files that I traced from, so you can easily import those into your Studio or Cricut software for easing cutting!

After getting all my inserts cut out and my front and back cover, I decided I wanted to run them through my laminator.  These will fit perfectly inside an 8 ½ x 11 sized laminate pocket, 2 per sheet.  After I got them laminated, I simply went in with my scissors and cut out around all the edges.

Next I mixed in some great planning templates, that suit my needs perfectly.  You can mix these in however it works best for your family or student.  I like to mix in weekly planner pages and a monthly overview.  You could even include teacher lesson plan sheets, extra-curricular planners, or student itineraries too for extra personalization!

All that was left was to bind it all together.  I chose some mini black disc rings that suited my color scheme perfectly.  I love the simplicity of binding this way, because it’s so easy to punch in new and fun things anytime.  I really love the way the School Rules collection perfectly suited this little planner, and I can’t wait to put it to use.  I just know the sticker book from the Carta Bella School Days collection is going to be perfect for dressing up all of my planning pages, and I can’t wait to punch in some tags and ephemera from the collection too!

Berry Sweet Farmhouse Kitchen Set

Today I would like to share a "Berry Sweet" Farmhouse Kitchen Set made with the Farmhouse Kitchen Collection from Echo Park Paper. My kitchen ensemble consists of an old-fashioned coffee pot, a cup and saucer, a tiered tray and a sweet card to mail to a friend or loved one.

 

 

To make my card, I began with a base made from Carta Bella Ultra White Linen Cardstock. The lightly textured surface is elegant and makes a wonderful card base. I utilized the 6X6 Paper Pad for the card's patterns. The 6X6 pad has the same farmhouse patterns found in the Farmhouse Kitchen Collection Kit, but since they're scaled down for smaller projects, they're perfect for cardmakers!

 

 

The card's yummy dimensions came primarily from the Frames and Tags Ephemera package. I love layering the frames! The "You Are" words were cut from the Farmhouse Kitchen Solids Kit using my manual cutting machine are the [http://You%20Are%20Amazing%20Designer%20Dies%20Set]You Are Amazing Designer Die Set. Because it's so versatile, that die set has been a treasured addition to my stash of dies!

 

 

My sweet little cup and saucer were made with the "B" side of the "Multi Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper. The tiny print is charming and was the inspiration for my entire "Berry Sweet" set! A petite flower from the Farmhouse Kitchen Element Sticker Sheet was added to the front of the cup. It reminds me of my grandmother's retro kitchenware. 

 

 

Another retro inspired piece is the tiered tray. The tray features the beautiful wood grain found on the "B" side of the "3X4 Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper as well as the "Farmhouse Floral" Patterned Paper. The pretty floral is both timeless and trendy and is a 'must-have"!

 

 

The focal piece of the "Berry Sweet" ensemble is the vintage coffee pot. The pot is an impressive 10 inches tall and has a removable lid. It has the same blue print as the cup and is embellished with a large floral cluster from the Farmhouse Kitchen Element Sticker Sheet. 

 

 

I loved making my Farmhouse Kitchen project and hope that it has inspired you to create too! For instructions on how to make your own "Berry Sweet" card, visit the project downloads section of the Echo Park Paper website.

Farmhouse Kitchen Mason Jar Mini Album

Hello everyone, its dorymar here on the blog, today I am sharing with you a fun mini album using the fabulous Farmhouse Kitchen Collection. I think one of the things I do the most after scrapbooking is cooking, and this collection is perfect to create a fun project for people that love the kitchen and cooking. Check it out!!

To create this project, I used my Silhouette Cameo and Echo Park Mason Jar digital cut file to create the pattern. Mason jars are very fashionable these days, they are used for everything and why not create one into a scrapbook album?

On the cover I wanted to recreate a real mason jar, for that, I used the beautiful floral paper and one of the red squares patterned papers included in the collection to simulate the fabric used to decorate the real ones. Then, I added some beautiful wooden spoons that I found in a craft store and decorated them with some icons from the collection.

The album has 5 pages plus the front and back cover, I used the traditional binding and pasted it onto a 2.25 "x 4" chipboard piece. The base of each page was cut from Carta Bella Natural White Felt Designer Cardstock because they are extraordinarily strong. This makes the project firm and can hold all the photos and decorations.

The interior of the album is full of beautiful and colorful elements that stand out in the black touch that the collection includes. Below you can see up close the beauty of the project.

I adjusted the size of the original design to incorporate the pockets and flaps that I like so much.

I incorporated buttons and bows with baker's twine, to continue with this country style from the collection. I love it!

I love to play with the patterns and icons from the collection it is so fun to look through the pieces and the results are FANTASTIC!

Look at the cutest farmhouse icons from the collection, they are fantastic!

I hope this collection inspires you to create a fantastic project with the Farmhouse Kitchen Collection. Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

“Just Roll With It” Farmhouse Kitchen Recipe Box

Hello there again, lovely friends; It’s Lydia Cost today.  Today I’m sharing something extra fun that I created with the Farmhouse Kitchen collection.  The collections illustrations stole my heart instantly, and I couldn’t wait to put it to use.

I have been meaning to find a system to keep my recipe cards in order on my kitchen island, and I decided I was just going to make something to suit my needs perfectly.  First I started with an extra cosmetic drawer that I had on hand, because it was the perfect size for 3x5 cards.  It started with a dark purple color and stripes, so I knew I’d have to pull out my spray paint and change its color to suit the gorgeous collection!

After spray painting my box a lovey shade of mint, I began trimming out this pretty pink paper from the collection to line the outside of my box.  I cut my pieces to the exact dimensions, so that that patterned paper could do all the talking on the outside.  I then added a fun piece of ephemera and one of the element stickers to the front for a little recipe box title.  At this point I was so excited at how it was turning out.

Next I set out to create separator cards inside my box; this way I would be able to sort my recipes by type.  I created seven cards at the 3x5 size, using the gorgeous patterned papers in the 6x6 paper pad.  After choosing my 7 cards, I decided to add in some great tabs for easy separation.  To create the tabs I simply picked some of my favorite coordinating stickers from the element sticker sheet.

After layering on the element stickers for section tabs, I decided I wanted to honor the farmhouse kitchen collection by adding in some gorgeous vintage buttons to my cards.  I chose some gorgeous mustard colored thread and strung each one up on my cards by hand.  I love the whimsical look it lends to this collection!

All that was left was to add in my titles for each section: Hearty, Light, Desserts, Veggies, Smoothies/Drinks, Sides, and Snacks.  It might not seem like your typical list for recipe categories, but these suit my particular cooking habits perfectly!  I simply typed the titles out and then adhered the little strips to each of my cards.  All that was left now was to add in my favorite recipes and heirloom cards passed down through beloved friends and family.
