Love To Scrap 2

Princess In Training

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday – can you believe it’s the middle of July already?! Dang, time just doesn’t stand still for anybody! I’m delighted to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This extended z-fold (inspiration from Connie Stewart–see her blog for a tutorial) features papers and die cut pieces from our new Once Upon A Time: Rapunzel collection! If you are a princess fan and haven’t seen this collection yet, you are in for a real treat! And this fun fold really shows off these products!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Amethyst cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Rapunzel 12×12 Collection Pack and Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I embellished the front with Rapunzel Die Cut Pieces, popping some of them up on Back To Basics Adhesive Squares. I used Back To Basics Pastel Gingham Ribbon for the closure.

I used more of the Rapunzel Die Cut Pieces to embellish the inside panels. This was a surprisingly easy card that worked up pretty quickly. Be sure to check out Connie’s video – she’s such a hoot!

Celebrating America

Howdy, peeps – I hope your week has started off nicely! I have one last Independence day project for ScrapbookingStore to share that I created with items in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! Our nation’s 250^th birthday celebration just wouldn’t be complete without a shaker card with red, white and blue star sequins, right?! I created a full-face shaker using leftover cellophane packaging which is so much easier to work with and lays flatter than traditional acetate. This shaker card features a trimmed journaling card, a paper strip, and stickers from this month’s kit, all adhered to a 4″ x 6″ flat card base.

I cut a 4” x 6” postcard size flat card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I formed a shaker pocket with leftover packaging cellophane adhered to the back-side edges of a trimmed journaling card from the kit. I added the red, white and blue star sequins (from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Sprinkles line), sealed the pocket, and adhered the shaker to the postcard base. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the shaker front.

For the back, I added a paper strip to the bottom along with a few more stickers (banner, stars and a sentiment) from the sticker sheet. What a delightful shaker card… the grand finale of projects made with this amazing kit! ;)

Hi friends – happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I have another fun fold for ScrapbookingStore to share with you today that I created with paper and stickers from the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! I have definitely been in a patriotic state of mind and have had THE best time playing with this collection! My inspiration for this book fold with pocket came from Connie Stewart. Be sure to see her blog for a video called Book Binding Pocket Cards. The classic book fold has been around forever and this version has a little pocket on the inside with a pull-out card. I reversed the orientation so it opens left to right and the pull-out card is nested on the left-hand side, which you’ll see below.

I cut the card base from the cherries/diagonal striped patterned paper in the kit. I cut the focal panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry and Wedding Cake cardstock and layered the pieces together. I then adhered the focal panel to the right-hand flap and embellished it with image, sentiment and star stickers from the sticker sheet.

Moving to the left side of the card, I punched a thumb notch into the edge of the pocket with a Stampin’ Up! 1-3/4″ Circle Punch, adhered the edges, and added a small gingham bow. I cut the pull-out card from the Wedding Cake cardstock and embellished it with a few more stickers from the sticker sheet. Such an easy card design without a heavy cardstock base! The focal panel just needs to be cut from lighter weight cardstock that corresponds to the weight of the patterned paper.

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have another fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with papers and stickers in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve had a great time playing with this collection – our 250th birthday is such a milestone for the USA! This classic tri-fold with a view card design is such a fun one and I thought it would be perfect to showcase our flag.

I cut the card base from medium blue cardstock, along with a layering panel for the card front. I cut a round aperture into the front flap using a Keep It Simple Back to Basics Nested Stitched Circles Die. I added two frames (cut with the same die set) and a sentiment sticker, which completed the front of the card.

I cut the inside flap from white cardstock and put the fold on the right, which created the simple tri-fold design. I added the flag sticker from the sticker sheet along with a hand-cut flag pole that I inked with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink (DTP technique). To finish this flap, I added another sentiment sticker and a few light blue gemstones.

All that was left to do was add a border, one more sentiment and a few stars to the inside, all from the sticker sheet in the collection.

Hey everybody, happy Saturday! I hope you are not sweltering in this Summer heat! It’s pretty warm and humid here, so I’m doing the easy thing… staying indoors crafting! I have another fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with papers and stickers in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! I’ve had THE best time with the patriotic red, white and blue patterns in this collection! And this swing easel card design is one of my favorites because it puts a little different spin on the classic easel card. I’ve made a few of these over the years – my inspiration originally came (quite a while back) from the Splitcoast Stampers tutorial HERE.

I cut the easel card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds paper and two coordinating prints in the collection. I embellished the swing easel with sentiment and image stickers from the sticker sheet, and added another sentiment to a long narrow strip across the bottom (popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape) which serves as the easel stopper.

And here’s an additional side view to see the fun construction of this card. There is plenty of room to write a handwritten message on the white space inside, and it folds flat for mailing. I typically place the stopper about an inch closer to the fold line to make the focal panel stand up a little more. Not sure why I didn’t do that this time, but I still love how it turned out!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I’m back with my second post of the morning which I hope you’ll love! I created this fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with papers, journaling card trimmings, and stickers in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! Even though July 4th is behind us, this kit is chock full of Independence Day red, white and blue, and I made five projects with it! After all, our nation only has one 250th birthday, right?!

I was inspired to try this burst fun fold after seeing Peri’s recent tutorial HERE over at the Papercrafting Threads blog. I kept thinking this fold looked very familiar, and sure enough, Connie Stewart showcased it nearly a year ago HERE and I just hadn’t gotten around to making it. There’s only one difference between these two versions (the direction of the fold lines) and I made Connie’s version this time. It’s definitely a fun one, and I’ve since made another one (using Peri’s version) for a friend recovering in the hospital which I’ll be sharing soon, so stay tuned!

The card base is really quite simple with just a few cuts and scores that I created with Classic Crest Patriot Blue cardstock from CutCardStock. I cut layering panels from several prints in the collection, and used my Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to enhance the fireworks on the outer patterned paper panels. I added elements cut from journaling cards to embellish the front panels, popping one of the firecrackers up on Scrapbook Adhesives Thin 3D Foam Squares. The finishing touch was adding a few blue Stampendous Dot Sparklers.

I cut the back panels from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished them with stickers from the sticker sheet. I do love that “Proud American” sentiment!

A Day At The Beach

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re ready to have some fun this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #360 – Make Your Own Background. I used the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, and of course the background looks like a watermelon! It’s a box that can hold all sorts of things from treats to jewelry to money or a gift card! And who doesn’t love eating watermelon at a party… especially a beach party?! This has to be one of the easiest challenge themes of all time because there are so many ways to make your own background. I hope you can join in the fun with us!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Kale Green, Granny Smith, Pink Tutu, Pop Tone Black Licorice, and Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock. The assembly was a breeze, and the final step was adding a sentiment sticker from the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit. You can opt to close the top with a clothespin, small paper clip or some other type of closure, but I chose to glue it like a real milk carton.

And here’s one final shot of the lid off the box. How stinkin’ cute is this?!

Make A Creative Mess

06/30/26 Rising Star honor at A Place To Start!

Hi friends – I hope you’re preparing for a nice long weekend if you’re in the States. We are officially half-way through the year and our nation’s 250th birthday is tomorrow! Woot-Woot… how cool is that?! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today. I used a KIS Kits: 6×6 Blank Trifold Album – White to create this very cool mini album which features papers, die cuts and enamel dots from our Craft Mode collection! You know mini albums (along with fun folds) are my jam, and this one was a blast to make! If you’re a fellow mini album maniac, these kits are for you – and they come in white and black! ;)

The kit contains six trifold pages that you can glue together and decorate any way you want. I made mine with pockets and tags, pull-downs, pull-outs, and pull-ups, and added a scored spine. The sky is literally the limit with these! I used lots of items from the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack, Die Cut Pieces, and Enamel Dots. Also used lots of our Ribbon Packs and foam squares (from our Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Foam Squares & Strips).

Here are shots of all the pages, open and closed. This was so stinkin’ fun and I had THE best time putting it together! It won’t be too long before I make one in black (I already have the papers lined up), so stay tuned!

07/04/26 Weekly Favorite (by two crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, a big ol’ happy Friday to you! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a pretty congratulations card with a geometric vibe. Super simple design that could easily be mass-produced to make multiples for your stash. I used Surf, Caribbean Blue and Hummingbird cardstock for the diamond embellishment, along with a pre-folded 110# Solar White card base, Glama Natural Translucent vellum for the front sentiment, and 80# Solar White cardstock for the inside sentiment panel. This card showcases that wonderful Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique made famous by Scrapbook Adhesives – one of my new favorites!

I used a pre-folded 110# Solar White card base – they are such a time-saver. I dry embossed the front panel with the Darice Stripe embossing folder. Seems embossing folders are making a come-back and I’ve decided I’m going to start using more of them (and I have a bunch). I randomly placed Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Strips that I covered in Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I cut them in various lengths and placed them in the recessed grooves.

I punched squares from Surf, Caribbean Blue and Hummingbird cardstock using 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ square punches to create an embellishment which I added to the bottom right corner. I stamped a sentiment from the Ranger Letter It Wedding stamp set on Glama Natural Translucent Clear vellum in Catherine Pooler Cummerbund and Sea Glass inks using the rock-and-roll technique. I fussy cut it and affixed it with tiny pieces of the 3D Foam Strips. I added a Keep It Simple Teal enamel dot to the embellishment along with several tiny ScraPerfect iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a piece of the patterned paper used on the front embellishment. I stamped a sentiment from the Ranger Letter It Hello Sunshine stamp set in Sea Glass ink and outlined the letters with a Copic Ciao G000 alcohol marker. I added a couple punched squares (diamonds) to the bottom corner which finished the card.

06/30/26 Rising Star honor at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a chocolate bar card. You’ve seen this fun card several times previously on my blog because it’s one of my favorites! This is Part 1 of a ‘special project’ we were assigned – a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth. I thought this birthday card would be great to open with… I mean, after all, who doesn’t love a chocolate bar?! On their birthday or anytime, lol?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I absolutely love! Needless to say, I had a good time!

This is a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline size with the base and chocolate pieces cut from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock. I used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock for the inner wrapper layer and Keep It Simple Happy Birthday papers for the outer wrapper. Also used Keep It Simple die cuts from the same Happy Birthday collection. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner using green purple and blue Making Memories glitter in my stash.

I assembled the card with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, Adhesive Lines, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow. Embellished the panel with narrow strips of the dotted paper used on the front and another (sentiment) die cut. The final touch was adding a Love From Lizi green pinstripe peel-off for a little interest. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how I made this adorable card!
