Love To Scrap 2

Thinking of You

Hi friends, here’s wishing you all a wonderful Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. The days sure do seem to be flying by at record speed… we’re almost to the middle of year already! I’m sharing another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I sure have enjoyed all the wonderful coordinating papers and stickers (and floral embellies in the upgrades) in this month’s kit! Pocket cards are one of the easiest kinds of fun folds to make, and this one features paper, stickers and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades.

Because of the nature of the folds on most pocket cards, I like to use double-sided papers. I chose a floral print with a multi colored stripe on the back to cut the pocket card base. I punched a thumb notch with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/4″ circle punch and added a sentiment cut from one of the papers in the collection which I embellished with a heart sticker and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades.

I cut the pull-out card base from CutCardStock Strawberry Cream cardstock and adhered a panel of 80# Solar White to it. I embellished this pull-out card with sentiment stickers, scalloped borders (punched with the Stampin’ Up Scallop Border Punch), and Love From Lizi pinstripe peel-off stickers. I added another border strip across the bottom which I cut from one of the papers along with several iridescent gemstones.

Hi friends, I hope your week is ending nicely and you’re enjoying some nice Spring weather. I’m back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I have to say there are papers and stickers and embellishments in the upgrades for just about any kind of card you would want to make. This little flower pot card is so stinkin’ cute and the jeweled floral embellishments from the upgrades were perfect for it! I also used a colorful plaid paper and sentiment stickers from the collection.

I cut the card base and pull-up card from CutCardStock Amaranth Pink cardstock along with a panel of plaid paper from the collection to decorate the pot. I used the Stampin’ Up Scallop Edge Punch to embellish the rim. I tied some green seam binding ribbon around the pot and added a sentiment sticker.

I adhered a panel of 80# Solar White to the pull-up card. Then I had fun layering quite a few jeweled floral embellishments in random fashion to fill up the top of the pull-up card, adding two circular pieces of acetate behind the flowers as a protective layer. I added another sentiment sticker to the pull-up card which completed the project.

You Me & Coffee

Howdy peeps, happy Thursday! I’m back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I am really digging the papers and stickers (and upgrades) in this kit and have been having the best time playing with it. This fun thank you card features paper, stickers and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades. This is my own shirt card template that I created a while back that can be dressed up or down. This particular one is a casual version that I thought was really cute with the coffee cups!

I cut the card base and sleeve panels from CutCardStock Light Teal 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from two prints in the collection. I used Keep It Simple Back To Basics Clear Enamel Dots for the buttons and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades.

I typically put just a lightweight sentiment panel on the inside so the shirt front can bow just a bit to tuck the bottom edge up underneath the collar to close. However, the sentiment panel on this one is layered (several times) which made the card front pretty stiff and unable to bow. So I made a horizontal score line on the back underneath the collar so it would bend backwards and allow the card to close. I honestly think I like this version better and will probably use this method from now on!

love grows here

Hi friends – wishing you a wonderful day today! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I love, love, love the papers and coordinating stickers in this month’s kit! Oh my goodness! The tri-fold hidden door fun fold is among my top ten favs and this card features papers and stickers from this month’s kit. So happy with how it turned out!

I cut the card base pieces from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in this month’s collection. I trimmed a journaling card to use for the focal image on the front flap, semi-notched the corners (with the Spellbinders 3-in-1 Notched Corner Punch), and added Love From Lizi Pinstripe Pink Holographic Peel-Off Stickers.

I used more patterned paper from the collection for the inside panels as well as 80# Solar White for the center one, and added a variety of stickers from the sticker sheet.

happy days

Hey everybody, I hope your week has started off on a nice note! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers and sticker sheet in this month’s collection are among some of the best for creating a variety of cards. And what better way to congratulate someone on their new home than with a super cute peek-a-boo slider card?! It’s been nine (yes, NINE) years since I made one of these (post is HERE) and when I saw it on Lisa Curcio’s blog a couple weeks ago, I was instantly inspired to make it again. I’ve seen my handwritten instructions a hundred times over the years when looking through my tutorial folders so I honestly don’t know why it has taken so long to re-visit this one, lol!

I cut the front and back card base pieces from CutCardStock Mantis Green, and the center piece from CutCardStock Green Curry cardstock. I cut layering panels from coordinating Doodlebug Design prints in the collection and used 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ circle punches for the apertures. I used a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die to cut the sentiments that are seen peeking through the apertures.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of paper used on the inside. I used the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set to stamp the sentiment on the back panel in Catherine Pooler Garden Party and Lime Rickey inks using the rock-and-roll stamping technique. I then used the Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen to add some shimmer to the letters. I’ve included an overhead shot so you can see the construction of this fun card!

Hey everybody! How in the world can it be May already?! Better start gearing up for those Father’s Day cards and projects because it’ll be here in a flash! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very cool empty-nester Dad’s Day card using some awesome cardstock and the third car die in the Spellbinders classic car series. I mentioned a while back that I got all the hot rods, several companion die sets, and some stamps from that new Spellbinders suite of products last year and am just now getting around to using the last car. I sure do love these!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you’re interested in seeing how I made this. I used a Lynx White A2 Folded Card Base – these are 120# and super smooth and sturdy! Background panel was cut from a hearts print in the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 12×12 Collection Pack using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die. I cut the starburst from Stardream Metallic Jupiter and again from Stardream Metallic Eris using the Stampin’ Up Sunburst Thinlit.

For the hot rod, I used Stardream Metallic Jupiter for the body; Stardream Metallic Eris for the top and headliner; Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White for the lights and tire centers; Pop Tone Black Licorice for the steering wheel, under-carriage and wheels; and Bright Silver Foil for the grill, bumper and other trim. I used a Copic Ciao C-1 alcohol marker to make the headliner just a tad darker. I stamped and heat-embossed a sentiment at the bottom of a vellum oval die, adhered the hot rod and a few punched tiny hearts along with a few clear gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the hearts print used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set and layered the panel on Jupiter cardstock. I have to say that this would have made an especially fun Valentine but since I didn’t get it made in time I aimed for the empty-nester Dad’s Day, which worked out perfectly! I’m sure you’ll agree that even when the kids are grown and out of the house, mom needs to spoil dad just a little! ;)

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re into May already?! Where did April go?! I have THE cutest Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share for National Scrapbooking Day! I created a tag shaped tri-fold card featuring our Stitched Tag dies, papers and die cut pieces from our Cheerful Cottage collection, and Back To Basics Lemon ribbon. To celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, the Keep It Simple design team is hosting a hop over on Instagram, so be sure to check out the fabulous projects we’ve created! Start on Allison’s page HERE to see some great inspiration!

Using a Stitched Tags die, I cut the tri-fold card base from Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock along with layering panels for each section from assorted prints in the Cheerful Cottage collection. I embellished each section with Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, popping some of them up on foam squares.

And here are the last two sections. I cut the sentiment panel from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the next smaller die, and then added more die cut pieces. Such a fun project that came together in no time!

hello friend

Hi friends – I hope you’ve had a great work week and you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to share that I’ve joined the Cut It Up Challenges design team! I was dubbed Top Cut a couple times in recent weeks, so instead of signing up to guest design, I offered to be their resident designer utilizing SVG cut files rather than wafer dies for challenge projects. The lovely Larelyn accepted my offer, so here I am! You know how much I LOVE playing with my Cricut and cut files! Our new challenge is live this morning and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for #355 – Something With Wings! I used the Dreaming Tree Flamingo Card SVG cut file, a variety of cardstock from CutCardStock, and stamps from the Spellbinders Diamond & Arch Motif stamp set to make this fun slimline size card.

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Dreaming Tree Flamingo Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice, Flamingo, Lessebo Artic Blue, Basis Pink, Lessebo Salt Water Blue and Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. I also used Wedding Cake 12×12 for the envelope but forgot to include that in the photos. It’s always so much fun assembling these kinds of projects and this one was pretty straight forward. It was super easy seeing where everything fit.

I used the Spellbinders Diamond & Arch Motif stamp set for both the front and inside sentiments, stamping them in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed some nice Spring weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a pretty fun fold for Mother’s Day. For this anchored swing flap, I used patterned paper, washi tape, dies and stamps that haven’t seen the light of day in a while, and that made my heart happy. Of course, I used some pretty amazing adhesives and other complimentary products from Scrapbook Adhesives to put it together!

I’ve made quite a few swing flap fun folds over the past several years and this one is an anchored swing flap which is kind of a fun twist. I won’t go into huge detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made this one. This card features pretty embellishments made using the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique – I used wrinkled gold and red foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors which compliments the CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock.

I also used CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock which compliments the gold foil in the Pinkfresh Studio Hydrangea & Rose Washi Tape cut with the coordinating die. Most of the construction was done with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips but also used Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix along with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I used the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the sentiments which I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. The overhead photo on the below right shows the extra score line with the flap folded backwards to anchor the swing flap. Neat, huh?!

Vacation mini album

Happy Saturday, y’all! I hope you’re enjoying some ‘real’ Spring weather where you are and Mother Nature isn’t trying to fool you like she’s been fooling us, lol! We’ve had several ‘fake’ bouts of Spring here that only last a day or two and then it turns cold again! We’ve even had more snow, dang it! I have to ask if you’ve seen any of the kits on the Keep It Simple website?! If you haven’t, you really need to go take a peek (pssst… HERE)!

I’m delighted to share this adorable camera shaker mini album featuring the KIS Kits: Wander Camera Mini Album. To say this was fun putting together would be an understatement! These kits are reasonably priced and contain everything needed to make the project with lots of stuff left over. They are definitely fun for beginner crafters – and I would even go as far as saying intermediate and advanced crafters as well. There are just so many things you can do with them… the possibilities are endless!

I pretty much went by the photos of each page for this one but did add a few custom things. I typically do my own thing but wanted to demonstrate how easy these are for beginners to follow. This one has an included shaker on the front which is a really fun addition.

I used extra papers and die cut pieces from the Wander Collection which obviously matched perfectly, and added alphabet beads from my stash to the book rings (spelling GOOD TIMES & MEMORIES). I used a variety of our Back To Basics enamel dots throughout, along with white ribbon and jute twine on the three tags inside. Here’s another shot of the front, all the inside pages, and the back.
