Jill Cameron Creations Blog Hop


Today on this blog hop we are featuring Jill Cameron Creations digital cut files. We hope we inspire you to use the different Cut files from the shop to create beautiful projects. 


You should have arrived from Marie’s Vermont Creations if not,
Jill Cameron Creations is the beginning of this hop! 

Today I'm using my Cricut Maker to help me with my project. I'm using the Foil Quill pen from We R Memory Keepers. I've had this pen which I bought a while back and had yet to use it. I thought this was the perfect time to use it. Let me tell you that I loved it. I decide to make a card to send to a friend. I though making card to mail with the #stayathome going on right now that this would be nice to send a little bit of happy mail to a friend.


I used the Fancy Floral Drawing and the Stitched Circle, Square and Oval Frames cut files from the shop, she had many cut files to choose from. I used the Square that I made into a rectangle in Design Space. I also used the Hello Draw design from Design Space. I uploaded the images to Design space then converted the File to a Draw line at the Linetype function. You highlight the image then change to draw in the dropdown menu. I did that with all three images.


With the Fancy floral image I attached a white circle behind it so that the Cricut could cut it in the shape of the solid circle.


I put the cardstock on my mat and added the foil on top of it and placed it down with the washi tape that came with the Foil Quill pens then let the Cricut do its job.






Look at the magic that happens! 



I'm in love with this technique. It almost reminds me of letter pressing which I think is really nice. I added a wobbles to the back of the circle piece to make it interactive. I hope you enjoyed and learned from this tutorial. I enjoy teaching and I hope I inspired you to try the cut files. If you have a Cricut and don't use it my mission is to help you start to use it. I invite you to join my Craft Squad Facebook group I'm in the process of teaching Cricut tutorial in there along with other DIY projects. I also have a Facebook page where I create DIY kits and Live online workshops.


Don't forget to take a look at all the cut file that Jill Cameron Creations has over at her shop and Everyone can download the package of zip files from Jill’s website.

Happy Crafting from my craft table to yours, 
Liz Mullen

Hi Everyone, I so thrilled that I am one of the sponsors for this hop. I'm new with this new company and I wanted to share the products with you. I hope you hop along and comment for a chance to win.
For my project today I making tags with Paperclay. Have you ever used it. I really enjoyed playing with it. It was fun and easy to use. I made treat holders 


I think they are so cute and a little different.


 you have to knead the clay a bit to soften it. I rolled it out using the acrylic roller. I rolled it about about 3/8" thick. 


I found these mini cookie cutter last year at Hobby Lobby. I used those but you can use a die cut or paper punch shape like I did below.


I just cut around the shape with a knife.



I poked a hole with the stylus then I turned it around and made sure that the hole was nice and round.


Then I used an alphabet stamp set to add the to and from but you can just add the name to your tag with the stamps. 


After I poked the hole you let it air dry then 
I tied a thing string to hang the tag to my treat bag.



I hope you liked my mini tutorial. Do you make your own gift for Christmas? I  would love to know what has been your  favorite handmade gift you have made to give as a gift. Please share in the comments.

I hope you are enjoying the hop. My project today is this home decor piece. It's fun and easy to make. I used products from A Maker's Studio I feel in love with these products. I became an affiliate with the company.  Let's get started...


 I picked up the wooden pumpkin sign up at Hobby Lobby I lightly sanded it just to make sure it's smooth.


Then I applied the Gel Stain from A Maker's Studio.You can see all the colors that are offered here. I love using this Gel Stain because it doesn't have an VOC's (Bad Chemicals) I DON'T need to go outside to use it. It actually has essential oils in it so it smells like a dream. It's easy to use


 You Brush it on with a chip brush which I prefer but you may use a foam brush or even a baby wipe. Once you cover with the stain I wipe it off and let dry.


After it dries I like to use the mesh stencils. Here I'm using The Pumpkin Patch mesh stencil on this project.  What's so nice of these mesh stencils is that they are reusable and you can use them on all kinds of surfaces: Paper, chalkboards, glass, wood, mirrors and so much more. I'm using ChalkArt which is a Chalk paste that is washable. It dries and stay's put and when you are ready to change your decor just  wet it and it wipes away.



 You apply the ChalkArt by using a squeegee to and you push the the Chalkart through the screen and then you pull the mesh stencil and just like that you have a masterpiece!


Thank you for stopping by today. If you have any questions I would love to hear from you. Enjoy the rest of the hop.

I made this layout using Chasing Adventure line.


 Last year my mom, sister and I went on a mother daughter trip to the Baltic Sea. I was a wonderful trip we took a cruise and stopped at  Copenhagen, Sweden, Russia, and Germany we had a great time. 
When I saw this line of paper and ephemera I thought it was perfect. I splattered black paint on the pink paper to add a little something to this layout. Then I add the string to the back of the ship die cut. Added a bit of hot glue then dropped the string then layered the die cut on top.
