I used the entire collection in the past couple days, and it made me so happy in my heart.
I’ve never seen a paper collection with ephemera and die-cuts like these – books, pen and ink, and 3D notebook die-cuts!
I made lots of collage-style pages using the die-cuts in the collection, along with the Cobalt and Sky Wildflowers.
Fun, right?! For the layout above, I cut around the boarder of one page and popped it up with cardboard to create a kind of shadowbox effect. The paper underneath is from Tim Holtz.
What do you think? Which page is your favorite? I sell all my premade pages in my Etsy and eBay shops too, if you’d like to add any of these layouts to your own album or shadowbox.
Thanks for taking this tour with me today! Keep in touch, and happy crafting! xoxo
I fell in love with these darling bee printables from Dots Inspiration Shop and couldn’t wait to put them together into a one-of-a-kind card collection!
With purchase, you’ll receive all the materials needed to create these lovely works of art. I have pre-cut everything and tied all the bows for your convenience as well.
The only thing more fun than making bee-themed scrapbook pages, is being able to use about a billion bee puns. You’ve been warned.
I was buzzin’this week, making cards and layouts using these adorable printables I purchased from Dots Inspiration Shop on Etsy.
I couldn’t BEE-lieve how adorable they were when I printed everything out (seriously, you should have seen my craft table. It was like a field of honeybees in the first warm day of summer, far as the eye could see).
I love the grungy look to the paper and honey, it just worked perfectly. 🙂
I really couldn’t BEEany happier with the way they all turned out.
With a little hand-dyed ribbon and flowers, these pages are happy as springtime bees in a field of dandelions.
I have a tutorial all about how to make these flowers and seam binding here:
You can find the paint and ink spray used on Amazon in the links below:
I love this color combo so much too! I can’t BEE-lieve how well it translated from spring to fall with just a change of flowers and background paper.
This last one is probably one of my favorites. I feel like I say that a lot, but honestly I just love working with paper and flowers so much!
I list all my newest scrapbook layouts and greeting cards on eBay and Etsy each Sunday too, so please stop by my shop and check out what’s available. I’m always so happy to give my creations a good home. 🙂
Hope you’ve enjoyed this quick look at my week in paper. Thanks for buzzin’over. I’m going to flutterback to work on some new goodies for next week!
Please keep in touch – I’d love to know what you think about these pages.

I’ve recently found joy creating junk journals and I love the endless variety of ways they can be created and constructed. This special 22 page journal was created using the Vintage Flower Sellers’ printable kit by Kelly’s Crafts by Kelly on Etsy. I also used lots of recycled materials and odds and ends to bring it to life.
You can view the entire tutorial on my YouTube channel.
I’ll show you how I created and bound this special book. 🙂
It’s also available for sale in my Etsy shop here (only one available).

Welcome! What a “lucky” day to be here! I have a fun YouTube video detailing the step-by-step process for making this fancy vintage-inspired St. Patrick’s Day card and folio.
I love vintage style everything, but these colors really are some of my favorites to work with.
This special greeting card is also fully embellished inside with pockets, banners, tags, and more!
Here’s a printable collage I made for you, if you’d like to make this card as well (or just play with some fun St. Patrick’s Day ephemera):
For some of the other products used, please check out the following photo links:
Hope you have just as much fun with this card and tutorial as I did making it.
Please keep in touch, and thanks for crafting with me today! xoxo

I made this 8×8 album as a special order for a steampunk album. It was my first time making anything in this style and it was fun using lots of new materials- from Swellegant paints to Prima Marketing metallic waxes.
I used Etsy printables for the paper backgrounds and many of the printed embellishments .
I made this pressure gauge out of cardboard that I painted with the copper Swellegant paint. I added liquid diamonds to the printed gear face so it would look like glass and then finished it off with brads, a Tim Holtz year and a lightbulb embellishment (also by Tim Holtz).
Up, up, and away!
Gesso and metallic paints helped bring these pages to life!
Pockets!
This was a fun collage. I used buttons, keys, glass beads, and even screws to add layers and texture. Then I covered the whole thing with black gesso. Once that was dry, I lightly went over the pieces with Prima Marketing silver wax.
I love these clock die cuts from Tim Holtz. I cut out several for this album.
I used lots of lace and some burlap to give the pages dimension…
This last page has tags that tuck in behind the lightbulb print.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope these pages inspire you – feel free to comment or send me photos of your work as well. I would love to see what you make!
