Sizzix Frame Pocket Journal Die by Eileen Hull

Mae's Sweet Little Frame Stand

How to make “Mae’s Sweet Little Photo Frame Stand”…

Last Fall, we had family pictures taken.

I especially love this sweet picture of my granddaughter Mae.

I wanted to make a photo stand for her picture to put on my desk.

Mae's Sweet Little Frame Stand

For Mae’s Frame…

I used the frame from the New Sizzix Frame Pocket Journal Die by Eileen Hull*

and the Phone Stand Die by Eileen Hull* for a quick and easy project.

I “Crafted my Stash” using an old Authentique Scrapbook Paper Collection.

How to make the Photo Frame Stand:

Die-cut the Phone Stand using White Matboard*, a Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine*, and the Phone Stand Die*. Adhere a piece of scrapbook paper on the top section of the phone stand.
For the frame die, cut the Matboard* slightly larger than the area that you will be die-cutting. Cut a piece of scrapbook paper the same size as the matboard. I like to run the paper through a Xyron Create a Sticker Machine* to add a complete layer of adhesive to the back of the paper. Adhere the paper onto the matboard. Place the covered matboard design down on the die and die cut using the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine*.

Mae's Sweet Little Frame Stand

Carefully fold the phone stand on the scored lines and adhere the phone stand with a strong adhesive.
My favorite is Rapid Fuse Adhesive*. It dries quickly and holds strong.
I glued a piece of clear acetate onto the inside of the frame to protect the photo before adhering it to the front of the phone stand.
I added green trim on the bottom to give it a little “vintage granny chic vibe”.

Mae's Sweet Little Frame Stand

I used the Sizzix Thinlets Tile Alphanumeric Die by Eileen Hull* to create the name on the bottom of the frame.
The letters hang over the bottom of the frame.
To match the thickness of the frame, I added two thin strips of mat board under the letter tiles.

For added detail, I painted a brass heart with White Birch DecoArt Multi-Media Paint.
I rubbed a little of the paint off to show the details in the brass charm.

Mae's Sweet Little Frame Stand

Tie the brass charm onto the top of the frame with a simple cream-colored satin ribbon.

I’m so in love with this sweet baby girl. She’s been such a great addition to our family.

Would you believe she got my blue eyes? (None of my kids has them.)

Winter Memories Album

Now that the Holidays are over, I’m embracing the quiet of the Winter Season

by creating a few things with Eileen Hull’s and Sizzix’s New Release Chapt. One Dies

and the Simple Winter Woods Scrapbook Collection Kit from Simple Stories*.

Look at this beautiful New Scrapbook Paper Collection from Simple Stories.

I fell in love with the soft, muted colors of the Simple Winter Woods Collection*

and knew I had to have it. (It was perfect for these projects.)

Winter Memories Album

First, I must show you the new toy I got for Christmas this year.

After many years of use and abuse, I finally upgraded my old Big Shot Machine with a Newer, Bigger model.

Behold the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine*.

I needed it to die-cut the larger dies like the NEW Sizzix Frame Pocket Journal Die by Eileen Hull*.

The Journal measures 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1 1/4” with an adjustable spine.

What makes this die special are the additional pieces on the die, a pocket to hold ephemera, a frame and flap!

Winter Memories Album

There are several ways to make the inside of your album.

Winter Memories Album

I created a pocket on the inside of the album using the die and covered matboard.

The pocket is great for adding a small skinny notebook or several little notecards.

I used the 3″ x 4″ journal cards from the Winter Woods Paper Collection for the front of the cards.

Winter Memories Album

I used twine and the holes on the spine to hold a small notebook in place.

I covered the Small Kraft Notebook* using a paper and stickers from the collection.

Hello Winter 2023 Framed Picture

Continuing with the Winter Theme…

I created a framed picture using the NEW Sizzix Thinlets Tile Alphanumeric Die by Eileen Hull*.

The Tile Alphanumeric is very versatile because you can use both the positive and negative shapes.

Each letter is perforated which makes it easy to create and line up words.

Hello Winter 2023 Frame Picture

It’s so easy to create a little dimensional piece of art using the supplies you have around you.

Simple Vintage Winter Woods Card

And last but not least, I created a 5″ x 7″ card using Eileen’s NEW Sizzix 3D Tablecloth Embossing Folder

as the background for my card.
