Hello crafters! It is Luciana here, with a weekly planner spread that could be a sort of inspiration for those wishing to combine the planning system with that of journaling.
Here all the steps to recreate this weekly page:
Create the background on a paper using the distress ink pad broken china and shabby shutters. Use the stamp with the letters from the set Planner Essential – Patterns 2 and the one with the flowers from the set Planner Essential – Patterns 1. Create some layers of scrap paper using the following stamps:
the montly view from the set Planner Essential – Calendar
the box for records from the set Planner Essential – Months
the receipt stamp from the set Planner Essential – Important memo
Cut out the dies related to music and the circles pattern from the set Planner Essential 10.
Glue all the pieces on the page, like the picture below.
Cut the page in half, and use the left side for planning, adding the days of the week with the stamps from the set Planner Essential – Schedule. Die cut 2 sets of box with the tab, from the set of dies Planner Filmstrip. Adhere inside of them two pictures of the important events of the week.
Adhere the first picture on the page, using a strip of tape. Then glue on it the second picture, in order to have a browsable insert.
Complete the page with a floral element, die cut 5 sets of the 2 flowers from the Die set – Large Flower Set.

Once you’re done cutting, ink the edges of all papers.

Hello again! It’s Riikka here today guesting with some party projects! As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, most of my step by step tutorials can be used for cards even if I’ve done the steps in a layout. This time I thought to do it the other way around and made a couple of easy but fun cards and then used the same idea in a layout as well. Continue Reading
Hi there! It’s me Riikka from the Paperiliitin blog here guesting again! This time I created two pages for the post using the same idea. The first page is about my younger daughter and the second one about a workshop trip. Continue Reading
Hello everyone, Sanna here again with my second blog post for January.
I love to use color on my layouts and I hardly ever use more than one photo per scrapbooking page. However, the Stitched Square die set inspired me to create an A4 size multiple-photo layout. Using the square dies to create such a page is lots of fun and very easy to do!
Here is how I created this layout:
1. Cut two strips of White Soft Finish Cardstock in appr. 8.5 x 2.75″ inch size. Run through a die cutting machine, three times each piece. Save the leftover strips for another project, as they look a little like photo negative strips and will be a fun starting point for another project!
Hi there! It’s Marsha here today and I’ve been having fun using the brand new Fitted Frames dies!
I’m still in the Summer-crafting-mode, so I decided to take a bunch of the die-cut frames to my garden table and add doodles. Once I had doodled them all, I took them inside and created a scrapbook page:
Here are the steps to create the page:
1. Die-cut the frames out of white paper. I used 75 lb. mixed media paper.
2. Doodle on the Fitted Frames. I used a 0.3 point waterproof pigment liner to doodle with. I didn’t apply any particular method. I just doodled away, looking at the shape of each frame and then coming up with a suitable doodle.
3. Print a couple of wallet sized photos. Trim them to fit behind the frames.
4. Choose a background paper. I have a box of mono-printed scrapbook paper and I chose one of those for the base of my page.
5. Adhere a couple of empty Fitted Frames to the paper and then arrange the framed photos on top.
6. Die-cut the title from another (gelli printed) paper with the new Alphabet 2 Lower Case die. I used the Numbers & More 2 die to cut the week number.
7. Add any details, journaling and paint splatter.
I hope you love the new Fitted Frames as much as I do!

Hi, this is Angela Beavers and today I would like to share two fun and fabulous scrapbook pages made with Elizabeth Craft Designs Dies. My friend, Nicole, created the pages which were inspired by her three little boys. Let me share with you how she created them.
1. Nicole used 12 x 12 design paper as a base for displaying the six pockets. She die cut six Tags & More 8 – Lattice from different design papers. After folding each one down about 3/4 of an inch, she accented the holes with different cardstock colors and shapes. She then used Transparent Double-Sided Tape on three sides to attach them to the 12 x 12 paper.
2. Her next step was to die cut tags from 6 different cardstock colors and embellish each one with hole accents and twine. She then decorated each tag with photos. On one tag, she used the alpha letters to spell “bubble fun” and die cut circles from Shimmer Sheetz to create the bubbles.
3. The second page is a collage of seven different tag styles. Nicole used an assortment of tag dies and design papers to create the tags hanging from the clothes line.
4. She attached the jute with brads and hardware hinges at the top of the page.
5. After decorating each tag with hole accents, stickers & photos, she attached them to the jute with pear pins. The tags are held in place with foam dots.
This is a fun and easy projects which can be used for many occasions and page styles. I hope you give this project a try!
Hi! It’s Marsha here again! Today I’ve got a scrapbook page to share with you.
Last week I met up with one of my friends for a long overdue catch-up. It was one of the first spring-like days of the year and we were able to have coffee and lunch at a terrace in the sun.
We were chatting the day away, feeling very lucky for meeting on such a beautiful day and, of course, we had to record the moment with a selfie!
Here are the steps to create the page:
1. Create pattern paper by spraying ink onto sheets of watercolour paper. Leave the papers to dry.
2. Spray water onto the inside of an embossing folder and use this as a stamp. Remove the water from the paper with a paper towel.
I’ve created a video to show you how I did this exactly:
3. Cut the watercolour papers into strips. Adhere the strips onto a sheet of white cardstock. You can mix in a couple of embossed strips for added texture.
4. Machine stitch the outline of the strips.
5. Attach black thread behind the photo and adhere the photo to the page with foam tape.
6. Adhere a sheet of Transparent Double-Sided Tape to a sheet of craft foam. Die cut letters and numbers from the sheet with the Alphabet 1 – Caps and Numbers & More 1 dies. You now have your own self adhesive foam alphabet!
7. Add title to page.
8. Die cut the Sea Glass die on white cardstock and adhere a couple of the pieces to the page.
9. Add a couple of black peel-off stickers.
10. Add journaling.
I hope you try stamping with your embossing folders. It’s a fun little technique that you can use not only on scrapbook pages, but also on cards and other projects!
