Tropical Tags With Wax Seals Embellishments and My First Digital Kit

Hello everybody!

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. Can you believe that it is the last Sunday of August 2022?!

I have a new video up on my channel, where I show how to create tropical themed tags using Craspire wax seals alongside my very first digital kit! 

I have been working with digital papers for a while now and from time to time I am creating ephemera of my own to use in junk journals. My new (well.... revived) Etsy store is in the very beginnig of its new journey. At this point I am clueless as per how it will work out. Maybe it will be a total disaster and I will have to stop creating digitals, or keep on making them but stop suggesting them to others. I really can't predict the future of it, but I hope some of you might be interested in the kits that I have created so far. I plan to add more in the very near future.

The store is called "My Paper Envelope" and only two kits are available there at the moment. 

I hope for your support and hope you like the kits and will enjoy using them in your makes.

Let's have a closer look at the tags!

Bird themed ephemera with the supplies from 'Your Creative Studio'

Hello everybody!

Time is running so fast!! The summer is almost over, the kids are back to school and I cannot believe how many things I planned to finish and didn't get to some of them, even though I tried.

During the morning hours, after I send the kids off to school,  I can sneak an hour or two to craft, before I get down to other daily errands, which makes me super happy. 

Today I would like to craft along together with you, and create journal ephemera with the supplies from the "Your Creative Studio" bird themed box.

You can either get a monthly subscription or purchase the boxes whenever you want. The details may be found on the "Your Creative Studio" site.

Let me show you what I made:

I expalin what I used to make the tags and some other elements, as well as show you in the video (https://youtu.be/gmEJh-aUNvg) how to make the clusters. 

I hope you enjoy watching!

Thanks for stopping by and talk to you soon!

Ticket Shaped Bookmarks with Wax Seals

Hello!

Our summer is incredibly hot this year! If I don't HAVE to leave the house, I prefer to stay in, be cool and craft :) Thankfully to this kind of weather I had some time to film a short "craft along" video and share with you a process of making the below ticket shaped bookmarks, embellished with wax seals.

I have enjoyed using wax seal in my recent projects! Hopefully, my today's post will inspire you to use wax seals more, too.

I used the wax seals from Craspire. Let me leave the links to the stamps for you here, in case you want to check them out:

Bluebell Shaped Wood Handle Wax Seal Stamp
Hydrangea Shaped Wax Seal Stamp

Flower Wax Seal Stamps

15mm 2 Sides Mini Brass Sealing Stamp (olive leaf + rosemary)

I have created a digital freebie for those of you who want to have fun with this easy and fun project. Please, do not share the image of a digi itself; if you want to pin it on Pinterest (or share with your friends on other social media), PLEASE provide the link to this blog post. Thank you!

The freebie comes in two versions and I explain more about it in my video tutorial (the link will appear below).

"Steampunk World" Tutorial - A Journal and An ATC Box

Hello!

Vectoria Designs has released a new steampunk themed collection, called "Steampunk World". It is beautiful!! You can check out and purchase the paper collection here.

In the meanwhile, let me share with you the pictures of a project that I created using this collection.

There is a journal and a box with a couple of ATC cards in it. 

The journal has a shaker on the spine, which I really wanted to fill with cogs. I hope you like the idea!

Side by side the journal and the box look perfect!

Here are some more pictures of the whole set:

There was a really fun element in the cut apart sheets, which gave me an idea to create this faux wrist watch which serves now as a book mark in a journal.

The journal has 3 signatures and I have a flip through available in the beginning of the tutorial. 

I will link it for you at the end of the post.

If you like what you see and want to know how it was made, join me in the tutorial!
