Snow Days Are The Best Days

Hey everybody, I hope your week is going along at a nice pace. Can’t believe it’s Friday already! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This hidden gate fold is really a fun one to make that packs a punch. I made one back in September for another design team and felt like it was time to make another one to show off the pretty papers and other elements in this month’s collection!

I cut the card base and top-folding smaller card from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from a couple coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I added a trimmed journaling card from the collection as well as a piece of ephemera from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags (in the upgrades) which I popped up on foam squares. And of course I just had to add a couple stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (also from the upgrades). They are so pretty! ;)

I cut the inside panel of the smaller card from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the green floral paper used, and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This is such an easy card that works up in about 30 minutes!

Let It Snow

Howdy peeps, happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This layered diamonds pop-up card is off the chain! My inspiration came from Connie Stewart and although it’s the second one I’ve made, it’s the first one to be showcased on my blog. You’ll see the other one in a few days, so stay tuned! It sure packs a punch with pretty papers and embellishments!

I cut the card base and diamond bases from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from two prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit and the focal diamond from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock. I added image and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet in the collection kit, along with a couple stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers in the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from the Recycled Natural White cardstock, embellished it with a leftover scrap of the floral paper used on the front, and added an additional sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet.

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! I hope you’re looking forward to a beautiful day filled with love, family and/or friends, and good food! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m hooked on the quilt block card, lol, and have made another one. I used papers and stickers from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with elements from the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers and Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera (both from the upgrades).

I cut the 5-1/2″ square card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with two stitched square die cuts which I cut from CutCardStock Basis Red and Bright Gold Foil cardstock using Love From Lizi Stitched Square Nested Cutting Dies. I cut eight smaller stitched squares (using the same die set) from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit and eight more from CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft. I cut several of them in half diagonally and then glued them down in a quilt block pattern on a piece of copy paper.

I fashioned the sentiment from elements in the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers and Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera (both from the upgrades), and added a snowflake puffy sticker to the center. I tied a small bow from Lawn Fawn white hemp twine, colored it with a G28 Copic Ciao alcohol marker, and added it to the center.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with leftover strips of one of the prints used on the front and the Basis Red cardstock. I added floral and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on red cardstock, which completed the card.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Hi friends – can you believe it’s Christmas Eve already?! OMGoodness, time is flying by! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I finally got around to making another starburst panel using papers and stickers in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera from the upgrades. It’s actually been a little over five years since I created a panel like this (post HERE if you want to see it). The next time I make one of these I’m going to put the points on the strips more toward the center (for a true starburst look) rather than off to one side.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss cardstock along with 16 strips from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit which I then cut in half diagonally. This is a super simple process of placing the first strip down on a lightweight panel of cardstock (or you can use copy paper), then placing each subsequent one down in a starburst formation leaving just a tiny bit of space between the previous one.

For the focal, I grabbed a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera and layered it on a stitched circle cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil because I thought it needed just a touch of bling. I then cut a slightly larger circle from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock which gave the focal a little more balance. I used the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies for the circles, and popped the focal up on Scrapbook Adhesive Thin 3D Foam Squares for a little dimension.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a patterned paper strip from the collection and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera. I layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock which completed the card.

Warm Wishes

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off on a nice note! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This card features three stacked gifts created from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit. I also used elements from the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers and Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera, both from the upgrades.

I grabbed a pre-scored 110# Solar White card base from CutCardStock and adhered a panel of green gingham paper from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit. I then fashioned three gift boxes from more prints in the collection and tied them together with a strip of CutCardStock Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. I added a die cut bow at the top which I cut from the same glitter cardstock using a Scrapbook.com Bow Toppers Shape Die. The finishing touch on the front was adding several stars from the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers along with a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the gingham paper used on the front and an additional sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera. I layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, which completed this easy card!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Hey everybody – happy Monday! Last week was a busy one for Ed and I. We had doctor appointments (which never seem to end) and we did quite a bit of volunteer work with our church that hosts several Christmas charities every year. It sure feels good to help the less fortunate and makes the Christmas season even brighter. Our pastor and his wife are two of the nicest people we’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. But today I have a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you that I created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This is another version of the book fold which features papers and stickers from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with Echo Park Happy Holidays Chipboard Phrases from the upgrades.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and the center flap panel from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock. I cut the side panels (and inside center flap panel) from a print in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit, and then trimmed a coordinating journaling card from the kit for the center flap. The finishing touch on the front was adding a chipboard element from the Echo Park Happy Holidays Chipboard Phrases (in the upgrades).

I cut the inside sentiment panel from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with border and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet. Super easy card that really packs a punch, I think! Love how it turned out!

Let’s Gather Together

Hey everybody – here’s wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I have a pretty Z-fold for ScrapbookingStore to share with you today created with items in the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I love this simple Z-fold (this particular one is my own design) because it showcases three patterned papers at once. I also used a chipboard accent on the front of this along with a double-loop bow. LOVE how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black and adhered panels cut from three different patterned papers in the kit. I adhered a Spellbinders lacy circle die cut behind the chipboard accent on the front, and added a bow fashioned from Really Reasonable Ribbon green seam binding ribbon. The finishing touch was adding a few green enamel dots from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts.

I embellished the inside with sentiment and floral stickers from the sticker sheet, which completed the card.  Another easy card that would be so pretty to mass produce just to have extras in your stash.

Our Happy Place

Hey y’all – happy Tuesday! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. No fun fold today… (LOL)… just an A2 card with a diagonal squares panel on the front! I periodically peruse Pinterest for inspiration and this one caught my eye a while back. It’s super simple and is made with ten squares in a diagonal design.

I used a 1″ square punch to punch the squares needed for the diagonal design. I mounted a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet on a scrap piece of white cardstock, trimmed it, and added it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several black enamel dots.

I kept the inside fairly simple as well, using a die cut piece from the upgrades. That’s it – easy peasy! This would be a great one to mass produce for different occasions just to have some extra cards in your stash!

Welcome To Our Home

Howdy, folks – a very happy Monday to you all! I’m delighted to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with papers, journaling cards and a border sticker from the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I made an interior stair step card which is a new one to me although very similar to the front step card which is one of my all-time favorites that I’ve been making for years. I saw Connie Stewart’s fast-paced reel on Facebook a couple weeks ago and decided to give it a go. So glad I did – and you’ll be seeing this one again!

I used several coordinating papers for the front and inside of the card base. I trimmed a journaling card with sentiment to use as the focal element on the card front, and added a border sticker from the sticker sheet. 

The interior stair step boasts an additional journaling card which I trimmed to fit, and then I added a die cut kitty from the upgrades. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Best Memories

Hey everybody, happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a beautiful ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with papers and stickers from the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! You know how I love me some fun folds – and I spied this very cool accordion gate fold a few weeks back on Lisa Curcio’s blog HERE and just HAD to make it! And yes, it’s as easy as it looks… so easy that I didn’t even need to watch the video, lol!

This card is a basic gate fold design with the addition of a five-section accordion element that opens out on each side. I used several coordinating patterned papers from the collection for the base and the accordion element.

I embellished three of the five sections of the accordion element with stickers from the sticker sheet, leaving room on the center section for a signature.
