Chou & Flowers Stenciled Cards with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on Chou & Flowers. (Plus there is a sale for the Christmas/Winter category that is still running through the end of the month!) I created a card set using the Flowers stencil from them. I used both regular and crackle texture paste through the stencil, then sprinkled the wet paste with WOW! embossing powder from the Sara Naumann Twinkly Fizz set. When the paste was dry, I heat embossed it. I love the sparkle!

Eileen Hull Embossed Card Set

Hello Eileen Hull fans! This month Eileen Hull's Creative Team is focusing on creating projects using her embossing folders plus her other great products. I have a whole pile of backgrounds I made using Eileen's embossing folders and I wanted to think of a way I could use a bunch of them. This card set is what I came up with…


Lisa Hoel for Eileen Hull - 2025 May Sizzix Collection Release  #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #EileenHull  #eileenhulldesigns  #sizzix #mymakingstory #TeamEileen #mysizzixstory

I mixed and matched strips cut from the embossed backgrounds and arranged them onto the card bases. The sentiment pieces were cut using the Handbound Journal Die and the sentiments came from Eileen's Fan Favorites Stamp Set. This is a great way to use up those little bits and pieces we can't bear to get rid of. (I'm not the only one right?)

Emboss It! with Eileen Hull

Welcome to July! This month Eileen Hull's Creative Team is focusing on creating projects using her embossing folders plus her other great products. I created a "snippet roll" album. It's a cross between a typical snippet roll and a journal. It was a lot of fun to make! Of course I included many "snippets" of embossed papers, along with lace, fabric, buttons and embroidery.



The Handbound Journal cover holds an accordion fold snippet roll.

Color Wheel Junk Journal – Taking a Closer Look…

Eileen Hull's May 2025 Collection is fabulous and the Creative Team has really been having fun creating with it.  This post is to share a closer look at all the pages of my Color Wheel Junk Journal project.

Eileen's collection:


Here is what Eileen has to say about it:

The Handbound Journal is a ScoreBoards XL die designed to cut and score thick materials like matboard, leather, and felt. It includes built-in score lines, holes, a spine piece, and large labels—no measuring needed! At 6" x 5", you can customize the book’s thickness and choose hand or quick binding, all with a pretty scalloped edge. One of the most versatile designs yet.
The Bigz Journal Hardware Die offers latches, hinges, and pen loops, perfectly sized to coordinate with the journal, and cuts a variety of materials.
The Colour Wheel Stencil is a three-layer stencil that creates a continuous color wheel—use traditional ROYGBIV or customize your palette. Pair it with the Rainbow Wheels Die, which cuts the framework, segmented circle, and arrows for a functional color wheel.
The Swatch Card Stamp Set includes a round palette, rectangular and pie-shaped swatch cards, plus color-themed phrases perfect for cards or journals.
