Love To Scrap 2

Have a Purr-Fect Halloween

Howdy peeps, happy Thursday – it’s almost the weekend and I hope you have something fun planned! I’ve popped in this morning with one more fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the October 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. As I mentioned several days ago, this month’s collection does not disappoint and I’ve had THE best time creating with it! The envelope tuck card is another one that has made it to my list of favorite fun folds because it’s such a fun (and easy) design that really packs a punch.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels and the tuck flap from coordinating prints in the collection. I trimmed a journaling card and embellished it with an additional image and strips which I used as the focal panel (and tuck point) on the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a border sticker from the sticker sheet, as well as ephemera and a bat sticker from the upgrades.

Hi friends! The weeks just seem to be clicking along so fast… it’s already mid-October and that means Halloween is right around the corner! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the October 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving every single item in this month’s collection – from the papers and stickers to all the upgrades. I love perusing Connie Stewart’s blog (and her YouTube Channel) and was inspired to make this center pop fun fold (post HERE) as soon as I saw it. It’s so unique and was a lot of fun to make!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the collection. I die cut a stitched circle using a Keep It Simple Back To Basics Nested Stitched Circles die to which I affixed a large sticker from the sticker sheet. I used this as an embellishment for the card front (along with a sentiment sticker) as well as a bat sticker from the upgrades.

I embellished both halves of the inside with patterned paper from the collection and a panel of Solar White layered onto a piece of CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock. I added some ephemera and a bat sticker from the upgrades. The smaller center pop element was also cut from Solar White and embellished with patterned paper from the collection and a sticker from the sticker sheet.

Trick or Treat

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a fabulous week! The weather here is just marvelous and I think Fall is actually finally here! I’m back this morning with a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the October 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving all the papers and the sticker sheet in this month’s kit, along with the super cute upgrades just ready to jump onto your Halloween creations! The faux side step card is another one of my all-time favorite fun folds that I seem to reach for more often these days because they are so darn cute and easy to make!

I cut the card base and faux panel from Neenah AstroDesigns gray cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the collection. I embellished the card with stickers from the sticker sheet, as well as the acrylic word and a bat sticker from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of paper used on the front and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. I’ve included an angled shot so you can see the fun construction.

Hey everybody, here’s wishing you a marvelous Monday! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the October Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Bella Blvd certainly didn’t disappoint with this month’s paper and sticker collection, along with the uber adorable spooky-cute upgrades! I created a spanner card which is pretty far up there on my list of fun fold favorites. It’s one I originally saw showcased quite a few years ago in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter (tutorial HERE) and I’ve made it in both landscape and portrait orientation. It’s a very impactful design!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Orange Zest cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock and coordinating prints in this month’s collection. I embellished the front and middle layer with stickers from the sticker sheet, as well as ephemera and a bat sticker from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock which I embellished with a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet, and this completed the card.

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’ve popped in with a super cute inspiration project for Keep It Simple featuring papers, stamps and dies from the Autumn Harvest collection. I’ve made several of these tri-fold hidden door fun folds over the past year or so and each one is just as fun as the previous one. There are extra panels for images and sentiments which make this design really fun to embellish! And this collection is beyond adorable!

I cut the card base and panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange along with layering panels from an assortment of prints in the Harvest Autumn 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped a variety of sentiments and images from the Harvest Autumn Collection Stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored the images with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I did use a sentiment on the front from the cut-apart sheet in the paper pack, and added several enamel hearts and enamel dots from our Back To Basics line.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock and added more stamped and die cut sentiments and images. As with all fun folds, the most fun is assembling them. Love how this one turned out!

Hey everybody – happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned in this gorgeous Fall weather! I’m SO happy the weather has cooled off – it’s been pretty warm and humid here. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a tag shaped slimline card. Since I’m a retro kind of gal, I brought out some amazing retro colors of cardstock (brown and aqua) along with some natural white cardstock (which is off-white) and floral paper to bring this card to life. I have unearthed some more stamps that have never seen the light of day, and used one of the super cute doll stamps from Julie Nutting for this card. They are such a nice size and perfect for slimline cards.

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want to know more. Using the paper piecing technique, I stamped and fussy cut all the elements for the Jayla doll, glued them together and set her aside. I cut the 3-1/2″ x 9-3/4″ card base from the Natural White cardstock and chopped off the top corners to make a tag shape. I used the Sizzix-Tim Holtz Retro Repeat Thinlits to cut the design into the Lessebo Coffee Bean panel, then adhered a piece of Pop Tone Sno Cone behind it and then to the card base.

All that was left to do on the front was stamp the sentiment from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and then adhere the Jayla doll and a bow die cut (which I cut from Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock with a Scrapbook.com Bow Toppers Shape Die). I did add a few Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Pearls to the flower centers on Jayla’s shirt.

I cut the inside panel from the Natural White cardstock, stamped another sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink, and layered the panel on Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock. I added a layered border across the bottom of the panel for a little interest.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week and thankfully the weather has cooled off some! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for #367 – Pretty In Pink! I really had fun with this one – I used lots of pretty pink patterned paper and gold foil cardstock along with the Stacked Tea Cups Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick to create this get well card.

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the My Scrap Chick Stacked Teacups SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Pop Tone Bubble Gum Pink, Lessebo Coffee Bean, Ginger Snap, and Bright Gold Foil cardstock, along with several prints from the We R Memory Keepers Crush 6×6 paper pad. I used Lawn Fawn white hemp twine for the tea bag string which I attached to the tag with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions TEA-riffic stamp set on the bottom cup in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Also cut an envelope (in the same cut file) from the pink cardstock and embellished it with an additional print from the Crush paper pad. I used Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape on the flap with the liner left intact.

The inside panel was cut from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped with a sentiment (from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Get Well Sentiments stamp set) in Versafine Onyx Black ink. So stinkin’ cute! This is sure to make anybody feeling under the weather feel better!

A Flocked Hello

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a pretty friendship card with a flocked front panel. I’ve used a variety of our 3D Foam products (strips, circles, pennants and squares) and of course our E-Z Runner Grand to put it together. I’ve mentioned many times how much I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I did with flocking on this card. I hadn’t had flocking in my stash for quite some time and found a set several months back on Amazon with some really pretty colors, so I’ve had some fun playing with it!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you’d like to know more. I used a 110# Solar White pre-folded card base from CutCardStock (I sure do love them!) and then built the flocked panel on a piece of 80# Solar White. I used 3D Foam Strips Large White, 3D Foam Circles White Mix, 3D Foam Pennants, 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and 3D Foam Strips with the assorted colors of flock.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears stamp set to stamp the front sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink at an angle to match the flocked rows. Then I added a very narrow strip of black vinyl for a little interest. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put it all together.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set, and added two more narrow strips of black vinyl. I layered the panel on CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock, and the card was complete.

For my blog hop project, I used the Box Card Envelope Halloween Ghost SVG cut file along with papers from Echo Park Halloween Magic Collection Kit and the Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy to create this super adorable box card. Is this not the cutest card ever?!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori’s Box Card Envelope Halloween Ghost SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from Lessebo Pitch Black, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Grape Jelly, Pop Tone Jelly Bean Green, and Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock. I also used papers from the Echo Park Halloween Magic Collection Kit that Lori designed as well as her Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy.

Not part of the file, but I added a stitched rectangle to the back which is large enough to write a message and signature. I cut this from Cougar Smooth White cardstock using a die from the KIS Cuts: Nested Stitched Rectangles.

Hey everybody, I hope you have something fun planned this weekend and you’re enjoying some beautiful Fall weather! It certainly is gorgeous here! I’ve popped in for my second post this morning to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you. I created this adorable camera shaped card which features papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces from our new Boho Floral collection! I used our KIS Cuts: Camera dies and assorted enamel dots and hearts to bring this card to life. It was definitely a fun one!

Using the KIS Cuts: Camera dies, I cut the shaped card base from CutCardStock Glama Brown Kraft cardstock along with the camera elements and layering panels from assorted prints in the Boho Floral 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished the card front with Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces and Back To Basics Enamel Dots and Hearts.

I used the Boho Floral Collection Stamps for the sentiment. I stamped it in Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink on a piece of our acetate, heat embossed it in Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder, and then cut it with the coordinating Boho Floral Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a print in the Boho Floral Collection, then stamped a sentiment from the Boho Floral Collection Stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. The final step was adding another floral from the Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces.
