ScrapbookingStore DT – Love To Scrap 2

Happy Valentine’s Day mini slimline

Howdy peeps! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a good week so far! I’m happy to be back to share the last ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project I created with the awesome February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! Now we wait for the March kit, lol! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with all the papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s collection and created a simple mini slimline Valentine. I saved the easiest for last!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with a layering panel for the focal image from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. Using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Quilted Backdrop Die, I die cut the front panel from a pretty red floral paper in the kit. I layered one of the larger journaling cards from the kit on the black panel and adhered the piece at an angle to the card front. The finishing touch was adding two Hobby Lobby red epoxy hearts.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the red floral paper from the kit and Basis Black used on the front. I added a smaller journaling card from the kit which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Dang, the weekend was gone in a flash! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I so love all the hearts and romantic papers and stickers in this month’s collection, along with the ribbon and gemstones in the upgrades! I went all-out ‘heartsy’ on this Valentine and created a corner tuck fun fold! This fold was showcased in a recent Splitcoast Stampers newsletter HERE and I just had to make one!

I cut the card base and front flap from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels and the corner pocket from coordinating patterned papers in the kit. I layered one of the small journaling cards on CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock, added a flower sticker, and adhered it to the front flap. I added a strip of ribbon and a large red gemstone from the upgrades which complete the card front.

I covered the inside with a patterned paper from the kit, and added a panel cut from Solar White cardstock and embellished with a strip of a coordinating patterned paper from the kit. The finishing touch was adding a sticker from the sticker sheet.

For You gate fold

Hello friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend and you’re doing something fun! We’ve been waking up to one-digit temps and we still have a couple feet of snow on the ground, so our fun is indoors where it’s warm and cozy! I’m excited to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I love the pages of journaling cards in this collection (with a variety of sizes) and created another fun fold featuring a larger one with some coordinating papers.

I cut the gate fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Amaranth cardstock and a patterned paper in the kit. I die cut the journaling card from the kit with a My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX die and layered it on a rectangle panel cut from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock and a slightly larger mini scallop rectangle die cut from the Amaranth cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper from the kit and Basis Green cardstock used on the front. I layered the panel on Basis Green and again on Amaranth cardstock, and added another sticker from the sticker sheet.

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I’m thrilled to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m loving all these double-sided papers and the best part about kits is that the stickers and upgrades coordinate so well with the papers. All the matchy-matchy work is done for you! I’ve created a triple cube Valentine with lots of romantic innuendos! I really love this fun fold!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock along with square panels from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil and page of small journal cards in the kit. I added stickers from the sticker sheet and clear stickers from the upgrades.

Here’s another angled shot and a look at the back with plenty of room for a custom message and signature. And it folds flat for mailing!

Hi everyone! Well, another week has passed us by and we’re on the down-slide to the end of February already! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the February 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! February is the month of love so I made another one of my favorite cards – a chocolate bar card! Who doesn’t love chocolate?! This card was featured in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter a while back HERE so I made one for my daughter-in-law’s birthday and thought it only fitting to make another one for Valentine’s Day!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating patterned papers in the kit and some torn CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I added a sentiment from the sticker sheet and a large red heart gemstone from the upgrades with some looped Coats & Clark Metallic Gold sewing thread behind it, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the floral patterned paper used on the front and CutCardStock Basis Red. The finishing touch was adding a sentiment from the sticker sheet.

Hi friends! Dang, this week has flown by! It’s Friday already which is a good thing for all the working folks! I’m delighted to be back to share one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you created with the amazing 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The upgrades in these monthly kits are always just as amazing as the papers and coordinating sticker sheets. In addition to the paper and stickers, I was excited to use the large snowflake element in this month’s kit upgrades to create a fun Winter-themed card.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a patterned paper in the kit and CutCardStock Twine cardstock. I adhered a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet in the upper left corner and then adhered the large snowflake from the upgrades to the card front. I cut two words from a tag on the sticker sheet, adhered them to trimmed scraps of twine cardstock, and adhered them to the card front. I added Eyelet Outlet 3mm blue pearls to the six shorter arms of the snowflake for a little interest.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scalloped strip from the sticker sheet and a strip of CutCardStock Twine cardstock. I adhered a sentiment sticker and a polar bear sticker from the sticker sheet, which completed the card.

‘Tis the Season fun fold

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – it’s almost the weekend and I hope you have something fun planned! I’m back this morning with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I love the versatility of the double-sided papers in this kit – so many wonderful patterns for so many projects! I’ve grown especially fond of the double gatefold lately, so that’s the direction I took for this project. And who doesn’t love an adorable snow angel?!

I cut the double gatefold card base from a double-sided paper in the kit. Using the Spellbinders Standard Circles Small and Classic Scalloped Circles Small dies, I cut the element for the card front from a patterned paper in the kit and CutCardStock Twine cardstock and adhered a snow angel sticker from the sticker sheet to it. I adhered patterned paper strips to the bottom of the card front and stamped the sentiment from the Taylored Expressions Winter Wishes stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a mitten sticker and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. I layered the panel on Basis Navy and an additional patterned paper from the kit. Lol, I didn’t notice until this very minute that the angle of this photo elongated the circular element on the front… sorry about that! :|

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day! I’m thrilled to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with the amazing 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The Winter-themed papers and stickers in this kit represent wonderful childhood memories for many. I used several patterned papers and stickers from this month’s kit for this super cute A2 card. This design is really simple and could easily be mass-produced to create multiple cards for a gift set!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a patterned paper in the kit, and rounded the bottom right corner of each. I cut smaller panels from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock and another patterned paper in the kit, adhered them together and then to the left side of the card front. Using the Cottage Cutz Double Stitched Ovals, I die cut an oval from an additional patterned paper in the kit and adhered it to the right side. I added an ice skates sticker and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap piece of the patterned paper used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker and a beanie sticker from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on Basis Navy.

Chandler Purse with Latch Card Notelets

2/3/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that January is almost over! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the amazing 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m in love with all the Winter-themed patterned papers and coordinating stickers in this month’s kit. You know how I love me some paper purses so I made a Chandler that contains a set of six latch card thank you notelets using a variety of patterned papers and stickers!

I cut the Chandler purse base, handle and strap closure from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock and layering panels from a snowflake pattern in this month’s kit. I adhered a large snowflake from the sticker sheet to a scrap piece of navy cardstock, fussy cut around it leaving a thin border, and then attached it to the end of the strap closure. I then adhered a small disc magnet with Ranger Distress Collage Medium to keep the purse closed.

I created a set of six latch cards from Solar White cardstock, Basis Navy cardstock and a variety of patterned papers in the kit. For each card, I stamped the ‘thanks’ sentiment from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on Solar White cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small die. Using the Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Ovals Large and Small dies, I cut two slightly larger scallops from Basis Navy and Solar White cardstock and adhered them together. This element created the ‘latch’ on each card.

I stamped the same sentiment (also from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on the inside of each card and embellished each one with a coordinating sticker from the sticker sheet.

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Whoosh – the weekend went by just like that! In fact, the entire month of January is gone in a flash! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with the amazing January 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! Winter is so majestic with snow and pretty snowflakes, and everything in this kit depicts just that! I created a mini slimline card featuring a pretty ombre snowflake patterned paper and the delightful felt and glitter element from the upgrades.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Linen 100# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pretty ombre snowflake paper in this month’s kit. I added the felt and glitter element from the upgrades.

I embellished the inside with a leftover strip of the snowflake paper used on the front, a leftover glitter snowflake, and a sticker from the sticker sheet.
