Happy Halloween Friends! The spooky season is upon us and I'm all in with the Halloween crafting. Today I've got a Halloween Junk Journal (you could also call it a mini album) that I created using some of the new dies and embossing folders designed by Eileen Hull for Sizzix. Most of her dies are wonderful staples for your die cutting collection and are especially useful if you enjoy creating handmade mini albums or journals.
Over on my YouTube channel I have a flip through of this junk journal. As I flip through I'm sharing what dies and other products I used. I'm also sharing tips and tricks for how I assembled each page as well as how I put the entire junk journal together.
You can either watch the video below or head over to my YouTube Channel HERE to check it out.

Hello there! I have a little secret to share with you and it's one of my best kept cardmaking secrets! Sometimes I reuse previous card designs as the inspiration to create a new card and you can too. You really don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time when it comes to your card designs. You can always take a layout design that you really like and do it again with different stamps and colors to create something fresh and new. And that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you in this video.

HO! HO! HO! Have you heard the news? Tim Holtz and Simon Says Stamp just released a new stamp set to celebrate STAMPtember! This limited edition stamp set is available as a bundle that includes the stamp set and coordinating dies or you can get just the stamp set. These are available NOW, exclusively and while supplies last at Simon Says Stamp. You might want to run not walk and grab yours before they sell out!
SPECIAL DELIVERY CHRISTMAS CARD
Here’s a look at the card I created using this new set. I repeatedly stamped the snowflake image onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Pebble Beach Archival Ink. I then ink smooshed the paper into Old Paper Distress Ink and dried it with my heat. I then apply Distress Texture Paste through the Merry Christmas Layering Stencil from Mini Set 32.
Once dry, I inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then added some splatters using Distress Spritz in Walnut Stain.
Next, I stamped the images using Pebble Beach Archival Ink onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock and colored them using Distress Watercolor Pencils in Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, and Kitsch Flamingo. Once dry, I die cut them using the coordinating die set.
For the postage die, I die cut the base shape from white cardstock and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then cut 3 pieces of Distress Watercolor Cardstock slightly smaller than the postage die and ink blended each one with a different color of Distress Ink. The colors I used are Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, and Kitsch Flamingo. I then spritzed each one with water, dabbed it dry and then inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then assemble each of the stamps and adhered them to the card with double sided foam adhesive for a little dimension.
The sentiment is from the stamp set and stamped in Pebble Beach Archival Ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I trimmed this into a strip and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then adhered it to the card. The final touch was the addition of some matte gold pearls. I then layered the completed card panel onto a piece of white cardstock that I inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I hope you enjoyed this bit of inspiration using the adorable Tim Holtz STAMPtember 2024 stamp set and coordinating die set.

CREATIVE KINDNESS | CARDS FOR KINDNESS
But before I get into that I want to share a little bit about Cards for Kindness. If you aren’t familiar with Cards for Kindness, it’s a global initiative that centers around uplifting others and providing a handmade card for anyone who needs it. This program has grown so much that they recently formed the Creative Kindness Foundation to help expand their mission and reach.
Card makers like you and I can send in handmade cards and they distribute those cards to organizations that support people in need. Some of the people they currently provide cards for are veterans, frontline workers, first responders, children's hospitals, cancer patients, senior citizens, deployed troops, people experiencing homelessness and more.
