Hiya sweets! This is Elaine Davis & I’m SO excited to be visiting from the Illustrated Faith blog today! I’m sure you all have been as excited as I have about all the new releases that Bella Blvd & Illustrated Faith have revealed in the past couple of weeks! I think it’s safe to say this is my favorite time of year. It’s like Paper Crafting Christmas! As you might already know, I was given the SUPER AWESOME opportunity to design a collection for Illustrated Faith for the Spring line, Delight in His Day, & holy wow has it been fun to play with!
I thought I’d show you guys one of my favorite product pieces from the Illustrated Faith collections. It’s one that you might not expect: the Tip-In pads! I think a lot of people get a little stumped on how to use these cute bookmark-looking pieces & I want you all to know how versatile they are! Here are a few ways you can implement this product into your projects.
On the page above I used one of the Tip-Ins from the new Delight in His Day collection to create a journaling flap! Sometimes I want to make my page colorful & cute but still have room to write. So I tore one of the sheets off the Tip-In Pad & attached one edge of it with washi so I could write underneath it.
On this page, I cut one of the Tip-Ins in half, rounded the corners, & just used it as a little decorative paper piece. The other discarded piece of the Tip-In, I used to mat my photo!
This one of seriously one of my favorite ways to use them!! I trimmed a little bit off the bottom of the piece, added one of the Illustrated Faith Tabbies to the top of it, leaving room to punch a hole. Then I added to a binder ring as an adorable tag for a mini book!! Seriously how CUTE is that!?
Here’s another idea on how to use one cut in half: tape the pieces at the top with washi tape staggered to create a little waterfall flip!
Here are some other fun ways to incorporate your Tip-In Pad into your faith journaling:
*Use them as a bookmark.
*Throw the pad in your Bible case to have them on hand for sermon notes at church.
*Make a list of favorite scriptures & share it with a friend. (you get 2 of each style in every pad!)
*Tape one on your bathroom mirror with an encouraging note so you’ll see it each day.
*Hole punch one of them & put it in your planner.
What’s your favorite way to use these!? Tell me in the comments below! Let’s geek out about adorable paper products together while we glorify God!
<3 Elaine

I love Bella Blvd., and the Illustrated Faith collections are by far my favorite! These products have revolutionized my scrapbooking, bringing my faith and love for Jesus to a fresh, creative expression. I have recently purchased a journaling Bible and I am having a blast using my stash of previous Illustrated Faith collections. I love that they are so versatile and interchangeable!! So...I can't WAIT to get my hands on the new collections. IN HIS DAY is a dream! I love how meaningful and specific each word and phrase is for a Christ follower! My creative juices are already flowing!

I haven't used the tip ins before because I wasn't quite sure besides bookmarks how to
Incorporate them. You've given me some great ideas Elaine. Thank you. So far, my favorite products have been the paper pieces. With all the new embellishments coming out, I'm excited to try new things and see what my new favorites will be!!
