All You Need Is Love & Chocolate

Hey everybody, it’s Friday the 13th – are you superstitious?! Naw, I’m not either. Just another day… hopefully a fun day crafting! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This mini bendi card is another favorite of mine that’s an easy one to make. There are some really fun and playful prints in this month’s kit that made this card so fun to put together!

I cut the card base and bendi layers from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from an assortment of prints in this month’s kit. I trimmed down a journaling card in the collection to use for the focal panel. I fussy cut the boxes of chocolate (which were at the bottom of the journaling card) and glued them to the bottom panel to carry the focal image downward. I hand-cut thin strips of white cardstock to break up the black and white heart print, which also gave a whimsical feel to the card. To finish off the front, I adhered a few Keep It Simple Sprinkles Pearl Hearts Sequins to the focal panel.

I cut the back panels from 80# Solar White and embellished them with paper strips and a few stickers from the sticker sheet. I’ve included an overhead view of this card so you can see the fun construction. It does fold flat for mailing. :)

Howdy peeps, happy Thursday! We’re headed right on into another weekend… and they sure are flying by! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore inspiration project to share with you today that I created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. It has been a minute since I made a pop-up block card and knew that the papers, stickers, and upgrades in this month’s kit would be perfect for this design.

I cut the card base and pop-up blocks from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from an assortment of papers in the kit. I used several stickers from the sticker sheet as well as several pieces of ephemera from the upgrades. The circle stickers that spell ‘LOVE’ were just a tad too big for the pop-up blocks so I decreased the size by punching them with a Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch. Voila… perfect fit!

I cut the sentiment panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and embellished it with a paper strip, a sentiment sticker and a piece of ephemera.

Hi friends! Hope you’re having a great week so far and it’s not too chilly where you are. It’s pretty dang chilly here (still) and as much as we love cooler weather, we’ve had enough. Bring on the Spring! Bahahaha! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m loving all the florals and Valentine color mixes in this month’s kit! I made a simple pillar card which has quickly risen to the top of my list of favorites, as it’s so versatile and easy to make.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from papers in the kit and Cougar 80# Smooth White for the sentiment panel. I chose a piece of ephemera and a couple stickers from the sticker sheet to embellish it. I used a Love From Lizi Pinstripe Gold Peel-Off Sticker on the sentiment panel to tie in the little gold dots on the envelope.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction. I’ve made quite a few of these with a square pillar but I think I like the rectangular one just a tad better. Like most of the fun folds I make, it folds flat for mailing and I love that!

Hey everybody! I hope your Valentine week has started off nicely! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the February 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This month’s kit features a custom paper assortment from Echo Park and Carta Bella, with a Carta Bella sticker sheet, and Prima ephemera in the upgrades. So, so pretty! If you love a mix of pinks and reds, this kit is for you!

I cut the card base and faux panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the kit. I used several pieces of ephemera from the upgrades, and finished off the front with a few clear gemstones.

I cut the back panel from white cardstock and embellished it with a strip of paper used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet in the collection which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy weekend – I hope you’re doing something fun! It’s still chilly enough here to hang out inside crafting! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new My Little Greenhouse collection. I’m so in love with this collection and see lots of fun projects on the horizon. My inspiration for this back bend card came from Connie Stewart and it is a fun one that really packs a punch!

I cut the card base and front panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Ivory cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the My Little Greenhouse 12×12 Collection Pack. I chose the focal image and sentiment on the front from the My Little Greenhouse Die Cut Pieces. I added several Back To Basics Kraft Enamel Dots which completed the front.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo Ivory cardstock and added an additional sentiment and image from the My Little Greenhouse Die Cut Pieces. I layered the panel on an additional paper from the My Little Greenhouse 12×12 Collection Pack. I’ve included one final shot of the card so you can see the fun construction. Love how this turned out!

Dude!

Hey everybody, happy first Wednesday in February! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a simple pillar card. You know fun folds are my jam and this design is a really easy one that can be tailored for any occasion or holiday! I used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (in both 110# and 80# weights) and Lessebo Sunset Orange, along with some adorable stamps and dies to bring this card to life. I have to admit that I’ve had these stamps and dies for quite a while and have used them once. Not sure why because they are so stinkin’ cute and make THE best cards!

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want to learn how to make this fun and simple card! I used both 110# and 80# weights of Solar White cardstock along with Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. I also used a dotted paper from the Keep It Simple Barnyard Bliss collection as well as the older but wonderful Whimsy Stamps Hey Ostrich stamps and dies. This guy is a hoot, isn’t he?! AND I employed the Scrapbook Adhesives ‘Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside’ technique for the orange foil embellishments! Lots of fun on this card!

One last look… what do you think of this card? I’d love to know if you make one!

Ooh-La-La

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I have another pretty Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stamps and dies from our beautiful new La Vie En Rose collection, along with a couple other oval die sets in the store. This fold out panel card is such a joy to make and really shows off the products in this collection.

I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and Natural cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the La Vie En Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I also used Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Dies and our new KIS Cuts Stitched Scallop Ovals for the focal panel on the front. The sentiment is from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink.

I stamped the large single rose from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps on CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I then die cut it with the coordinating Outline Stamp and added it to the inside of the card.

I cut the back sentiment panel from Basis Natural and stamped a large sentiment from the same stamp set in the red ink, which completed the card.

Warm Holiday Wishes

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re all doing well and staying warm in this cold snap! Our temps have been in negative numbers here and with all this humidity (that we didn’t have in Colorado), we sure are feeling it! I decided to create a card for the January ‘Use Your Stash’ challenge over at Danni Bindel’s This & That With Danni’s Dreams Facebook Group. The prompts are Bears, Snowmen, Doilies, Hot Cocoa and Penguins. This adorable Echo Park paper has bears and penguins on it, and I added a doily to capture three of the five stash prompts. Danni always has several different challenges going on in her group, so come on over and play! Y’all know I create Christmas cards all year long, and although I’ve made several Winter-themed cards this year, this is the first actual Christmas card of the new year!

I grabbed a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Pre-Folded card base and cut a couple layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and a fun print from the Echo Park Winter Magic Collection Kit. I added the doily and embellished it with a 1-1/2″ punch from the paper underneath a Keep It Simple Back To Basics Epoxy Circle. I heat embossed a sentiment from the adorable Santa and Friends from Prickley Pear Stamps (no longer available) using Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink and Alabaster Embossing Powder. I added a few Keep It Simple Back To Basics White Enamel Dots which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped another sentiment from the Santa and Friends stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I layered the panel on CutCardStock Black Licorice cardstock and added a coordinating sticker from the Echo Park Collection Kit to tie in the paper used on the front.

Scrappy hugs,

have a TEA-rrific day!

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L DT inspiration project with you today, created with a few of my essential ‘go-to’ adhesives. This faux narrow panel step card is such an easy and fun card to put together, and really packs a punch. I feel like this chilly January weather calls for a warm cuppa, so that’s the direction I went! I have several of the Altenew Mini Delights stamp and die bundles in my stash and thought this one was perfect for this TEA-riffic friendship card.

I used Spellbinders Standard Circles (Small and Large) and Classic Scalloped Circles (Large) dies to create the focal element background, using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble it. Then I added the stamped flowers and tea cup die cuts from the Altenew Afternoon Delights (Mini Delight) Stamps and Dies, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for assembly.

I cut the card base and faux narrow panel from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock and coordinating prints in the We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard 6×6 paper pad. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put these pieces together. I adhered the focal element to the card base with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and then added a stamped sentiment (using the 3D Foam Squares) and some clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment and that completed the inside. I’ve included a side angle shot so you can see the fun construction. This is a great card that can be tailored to literally any occasion!

Best Day Ever mini album

Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have a super fun Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today that I think is one of my all-time favs! This tag-shaped mini album features our new KIS Cuts Stitched Tags dies along with our KIS Kits We’re All Ears; lots of fun papers, die cut pieces and page titles from the Best Day Ever collection; and a few die sets and several other products in the store (all listed below). I can assure you this was an amazing project to make!

I built the tag-shaped album base with tags cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock using a die in the new KIS Cuts Stitched Tags die set and a hand-cut hidden binding strip. Then I cut layering panels for each of the pages from assorted prints in the Best Day Ever 6×9 Collection Pack.

I added a shaker tag created from our We’re All Ears KIS Kit to the front, and used our Back To Basics Stitched Ovals and Squares Nested Die sets to cut various panels for the pages. I used Best Day Ever Die Cut Pieces and Page Titles to decorate the pages. I added a few pull-ups and pull-outs (used our KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die for one of them) along with the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Hearts Dies to cut a heart-shaped aperture into one of them. I also created a cute embellishment using our Back To Basics Epoxy Circles.

Here are shots of all the pages – and I even decorated the back! This was so stinkin’ fun!
