Tiny in the Spring

March 7, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 3 Comments

So excited to finally have my first Design Team project done for Boss Kut.  I have to say, I have had a bit of crafter’s block lately.  Perfect timing, right?  LOL  Anyway, I decided on an easel card for my first project.  I was thinking something for Spring and what is better than flowers?  A tiny little baby holding a flower!

I always like to push my Gazelle to the limits and see how she does.  The entire card is only 4.5 x 4.5, so you know the little baby and flower are pretty small and my Gazelle cut it out perfectly!  It cut the scallops and swirls as smooth as butter too.

For the fancy frame, I used Presleys Curls.  Available along with file 0339tinyinspring at the Boss Kut store.  Isn’t she so cute?!?

Here is a side view.  This was also my first easel card.  I wasn’t really sure how I wanted to design the bottom half.  I kept it simple so it would lay flat and not ruin the top.  I also love the fact you can just stick pretty much any size pen or marker in the Gazelle.  I typed out my sentiment in the font I thought would look best, put a rectangle around it, slipped a purple gel pen in where the blade holder normally goes and let her write away.  Then I wanted to cut the rectangle, out goes the pen and in the blade holder.  Love, love, love this feature!

I know, I know.  I stink at making faces.  My youngest son said she didn’t look very baby-like.  Well, the more I draw the faces on the better I will get.  Forgive the lack of detail in her features.  ^__^

Hope you enjoyed today’s card and come back to check out the new Spring releases over at the Boss Kut store!

    I think everything about your card is just adorable 🙂 The first thing to catch my eye was the matching paper on card and dress … so cute!

    Thanks, Judy. Tiny is a cute chubby little baby, isn’t she?

    So funny, I had some free time this morning, reading blogs and catching up. I see you made an easel card also! Very cute, and I love the baby.

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
Field research, planner style. Since the Coach no Field research, planner style.

Since the Coach notebooks are sold out, I grabbed this leather cover on Amazon to test the fit.
Good news: it fits beautifully (and it’s roomy enough for tabs).

Bad news?
I got excited and didn’t read the whole listing.

No snap.
No elastic.
Just vibes.

Luckily I’ve got elastic on hand… but consider this your reminder from someone who learned the hard way:

Read the full listing, friends.

Sometimes the best combinations aren’t planned… they just happen.

The Aquarelle Sky cover paired with Candy Rush tabs turned out to be one of those moments. The colors line up so perfectly, it looks like they were made for each other.

Just a little unexpected color magic.
Every tab is placed by hand. Nothing here is auto Every tab is placed by hand.

Nothing here is automated. We print, cut, laminate, punch, and assemble every order ourselves.

When you shop with us, two real humans have touched every single piece.
