Victorian Floral Cards and Mini Journals

Hi everyone!

It's the middle of February and where I live that means lots of snow and lots of cold temperatures!!! Brrr!! Because of that, I'm thinking ahead to Spring and what better way to do so than with Deena's Victorian Floral Note Card and Envelope with Hang Tags!

This downloadable features a note card and three hang tags with a gorgeous floral image done in lovely spring colors. An envelope template is also included.

I printed out two sheets since I decided to make two cards. After printing and cutting out the note cards, I backed them with pastel pink panel and adhered them to an ivory card.

I adorned each card with a blue and white satin ribbon and a variety of  spring-themed embellishments.

For the mini-journals, I cut out two of the hang tags. I covered two small composition books with polka-dotted paper and then glued the floral images to each.

I decorated the edge of each journal with white felt rick-rack trim along with burlap and canvas strips. For a finishing touch I attached a paper flower adorned with a white brad in the center. 

This downloadable is so versatile and I like how I was able to use the images in different ways! This was such an enjoyable project and makes me really look forward to Spring!

Whimsical Mini Journals with Victorian Cats

Hi all and happy Monday!

Today I thought I'd bring a bit of whimsy and feature several mini journals I created using Deena's adorable Hang Tags - Victorian Cats. These images were irresistible -- the kitty faces are so sweet!

There are four different images and you will get two of each on an 8.5" x 11" sheet. 

The colors on the images are soft so I decided to cover each of the mini journals with pastel cardstock. 

I adorned each journal with lace or a decorative trimming and a vintage style embellishment!

But, my favorite part was adding the printed words to give a whimsical touch. It was so much fun to match up the words with these adorable kitties!

Stocking Stuffer Notebooks - Primitive Labels

Hello everyone!

Are you filled with the holiday spirit yet? Where I live (northern Ohio) we're usually facing snow, cold and blustery weather at this time of year. But right now we're having a heat wave and it's been in the 60s!! Kind of hard to get into that Christmas mood, but that didn't stop me from making a couple of delightful stocking stuffers.

Today I'm featuring Deena's Primitive Label Sheet - Dash Away Reindeer Grains.

I simply adore this vintage image -- it just captures that old-fashioned Christmas feeling. You will get this image in two different sizes and you'll get three of each size -- for a total of six images on a sheet.

For my project today, I used two of the small size images to create two little journals.

These little notebooks measure 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 and make great stocking stuffers. I used a light turquoise cardstock from my paper scraps and adhered that to the front and back covers of the journals. I then glued the printed image to the cover of each notebook. My post from last week featured cards I created using similar labels -- and I also used a blue background. I just love the way it sets off these vintage images!!

I decorated the edge of each notebook with a piece of white felt rick-rack that I purchased on clearance earlier this year. It has come in handy for so many projects!!! For the finishing touch, I adorned each notebook with some sparkly snowflake embellishments!

Super easy -- and so festive!

Fun with Pigs

Hi everyone! Back to Monday!

When I first saw these tags from Ewe-N-Me Printables, I knew I just had to create something with them.

These are Hang Tags - Pigs and are just so much fun! You will get three images of the two different designs on one sheet.

After printing them out on white stock, I cut out two of the images and decided to use them for mini journals.

I covered each journal with kraft paper on the front and back covers and stamped a decorative image in the top corner in black ink. I then added a strip of ribbon along the edge of the journal, allowing a bit of the black seam to show.

After punching a hole at the top of the tag, I attached a decorative brad. As a final touch I inked the edges of the tags to make them pop against the kraft paper.

These pig images are so fun! What a delightful little book to pull out of your purse or tote bag -- they'd also make a light-hearted, charming gift.

Thanks for stoppping by today!

Mini Journals with Typewriter Keys

Happy Monday all!

Winter has been especially tough this year -- at least where I live -- up here in northern Ohio. Spring is officially less than one month away, but it's difficult to imagine with all this cold and snow! So, I'm thinking inspiration. I could use some and maybe you could, too!

I used Deena's Bottlecap Image Inserts - Typewriter Keys to create a couple of inspirational mini-journals! This downloadable is just great because you will get a full alphabet along with duplicates of common letters as well as punctuation marks.

I printed the sheet on white cardstock and then used my 1-1/4" circle punch for the letters I used for my mini journals.

I wanted to make the typewriter key letters really stand out, so I used a neutral background. It's a kraft paper with mini dots and it showcases the letters so well. I added a piece of burlap ribbon and decorative paper butterfly. Simple, yet striking!

I love embellishments, so at the last minute I added this navy blue mini clothespin. It looks cute but can also serve as a page marker!

For my second mini journal, I used the same background and changed it up a bit with the letters and color. I just love how the the red embellishments pop and make the letters stand out!!

Fly like butterflies, hearts of joy ... aren't these just the inspiration we need right now!!

Please be sure to visit Ewe-N-Me Printables for more wonderful bottlecap images!

So glad you stopped by today!
