Today I am creating a 3D gift box that holds several cards and everything is made entirely out of paper. I am so happy to be joining Alexandra Renke’s Christmas For You Blog Hop in which everyone will be showing off projects. The idea of this hop was to create something to give to someone important. Heute poste ich zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch. Wenn ich einen Fehler mache, entschuldige ich mich im Voraus. Heute erstelle ich eine 3D-Geschenkbox, die mehrere Karten enthält und die komplett aus Papier besteht. Ich…

Today’s DIY Advent Calendar for adults is a little different than your standard Advent calendar with treats inside. Don’t get me wrong, there are treats involved but I thought I would try something a bit different and maybe save our waistlines before the holiday season begins. I build this Advent calendar for my partner and I’m really happy with the way it turned out – it’s a beautiful home decor piece. Video Tutorial – includes how to create the box! I have a step-by-step video tutorial on how I created…
5 Card Waffle Flower Inspiration
written by Justine Hovey
It is my very first time working with Waffle Flower and I’m very excited to be a part of their release! I’m working with the stunning Sunflower Love and Simply Said 1 Stamp Sets today and I made 5 cards for some inspiration on how to use the set. In today’s video I go through so many techniques – coloured pencils, embossing, masking, and creating dimension. This video is probably one of my favourites ever. I just love the results. I really wanted to create five cards that incorporated various…

Welcome back to the 3rd day of the 12 Days of Christmas Card Tutorials 2019. Today I am working with Crafter’s Companion Cut and Emboss Folders to create some great 2 for 1 cards.

Bullet Journal: November Cover
written by Justine Hovey
I’ve decided to expand my horizons a little and jump into Bullet Journaling. Don’t worry, I will still be making cards but once per week I will be doing some bullet journaling. I’m new(er) to the craft and I’m looking forward to using my cardmaking supplies in a whole new way. I love this new endeavour because all it cost me was a Leuchtturm A5 Bullet Journal Dotted Pages Notebook ( AMZUS ) – the rest of the supplies I already have in my stash. Getting Started To make things…
DIY Sympathy Card Idea
written by Justine Hovey
Today I created a DIY video tutorial on how to create a sympathy card using Beloved Daisy Stamp & Die & Mask Stencil Bundle ( ALTN ) and new inks from The Stamp Market Full Ink Collection ( THS ). I love this card because it truly pulls together the focal point of the card using the golden frames from the Altenew Fine Frames Cover Dies ( SBC | ALTN | ELH | SSS ). In the video tutorial I cover many techniques but I think the best one is…
Cover Plate Dies + 13 Card Ideas
written by Justine Hovey
Cover plate dies are popping up more and more in my Instagram Stories. I love using them because they create an amazing focal point with little effort. I was so inspired by some cards that Erica made, I had to buy and try out the Falling Circles die by Neat and Tangled. Unfortunately, it has been retired but no worries, I featured many different cover plate dies and I even have some alternatives to the Falling Circles die. Layering & Faux Layering Technique I showed off the layering and faux…
