A Simple Life

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good day so far! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing April 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The coordinating papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s kit are pretty awesome. You know I love me some fun folds and I created a front flap card featuring paper, stickers and upgrades from this collection. I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a smaller panel with a scored flap from 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered them together. I covered the panels with two coordinating papers from the kit, and added a variety of die cuts from the upgrades and stickers from the sticker sheet in collage fashion to the front flap. I also added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet popped up on two Darice double-sided foam strips and two Eyelet Outlet black enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel (visible from beneath the flap) from 80# Solar White cardstock, and added a sentiment and coordinating scalloped edge element from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock.

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! How did we get through another weekend so quickly?! I’m delighted to be back this morning to share one last ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I really like the die cuts in the upgrades in this kit. There are so many options for so many different types of cards that work up quickly, and any crafter with a busy schedule can certainly appreciate that! I created a pretty uplifting friendship card featuring a circular aperture in the front flap showing off a gorgeous foiled die cut.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock and die cut a circle into the front flap using a Spellbinders Standard Circles Large die. I die cut a frame from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock to go around the aperture using the same circle die plus one slightly larger, and added several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

I adhered a die cut from the upgrades into the opening using Stampin’ Up Dimensionals which completed the card. Super simple design that really packs a punch!

Spring Bendi Card

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend! In my quest to finally blog a handful of projects created while our internet was down, I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The variety of the patterned papers and coordinating stickers in the March kit is amazing. As you know, I’m a fun fold fanatic so I created a Spring-themed bendi card from patterned papers and stickers from the collection!

Using the Hot Off The Press Bendi Card Cutting Dies, I die cut the bendi card base pieces from a pretty pink plaid paper in the kit and adhered the panels to each side.

I embellished the panels with stickers from the sticker sheet, Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine, an Eyelet Outlet mini butterfly brad and several small clear Darice gemstones. This project was so easy, it practically made itself, lol! ;)

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! Betcha thought it would never get here, lol! Honestly, the time is flying by! I’m back this morning with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades that I shared on social media but had to wait until our internet was restored to blog it. I really like the coordinating journaling cards, stickers and papers in the March collection because I can make a card in no time. There are journaling cards and stickers for just about every sheet of patterned paper in the kit! Who doesn’t love that?!

I cut a standard A2 sized side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from the matching patterned paper in the kit, and layering panels from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I trimmed the journaling card, layered the panels together, and adhered them to the card front. I added a couple star epoxy stickers from the upgrades and applied Glossy Accents to the raindrops for a little interest.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of the patterned paper and a narrow strip of the Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet, which completed the card. Easy peasy!

Happy Birthday Silhouette

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you’re planning to do something fun this weekend! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This is another one that I shared on social media but wasn’t able to blog it until our internet was restored. I tell you… you sure don’t realize how much you depend on internet (every single day) until you don’t have it! I was able to do simple tasks using my phone but writing blog posts on my phone was not in the stars, lol! I know people who do just about everything on their phone on a daily basis and I just can’t… I’m happy if I can charge it every other day. Bahahaha! Okay, on to my project… I really like the upgrades in the March kit and I used primarily die cuts from the upgrades to create this pretty silhouette birthday card. The fact that the die cuts can easily be used in a ‘stand-alone’ fashion for many projects is a definite plus!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Using a corner die in the JustRite Card Front Basics Dies, I die cut four ornamental corners for the card front from a pretty pink patterned paper in the kit. Using a Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Ovals die, I cut an oval for the card front from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil. I then created the focal element by adhering a die cut silhouette, butterfly and flagged sentiment from the upgrades. Using a ruler, I bent the butterfly in half, creating dimension on the wings, and then added brown twine to the sentiment flag.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with strips of CutCardStock Basis Soft Pink and Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink and layered the panel on Basis Soft Pink cardstock.

Spring Memory Album

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good Wednesday! I’m delighted to be back with another post today to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project which I’ve shared on social media but was unable to blog until our internet was restored. This Spring-themed memory album was created with items in the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades, and I had THE best time making it! You know how I love me some mini albums! And yes, spring makes me HAPPY! ;) The coordinating papers and stickers in the March kit are pretty amazing!

I cut the album base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered the front and back with a pretty floral paper from the kit. I then cut each page from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished them with coordinating papers. I used stickers from the sticker sheet and die cut ovals (using Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Oval dies) from CutCardStock Flamingo and Mantis Green cardstock.

I created pull-outs and pull-ups on several of the pages, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. I embellished the front with a sentiment from the sticker sheet, added a Velcro circle for the closure and embellished the closure strap with an enamel dot from the upgrades. The final touch was adding a tassel and charm (created with dies from the set) attached with a tiny ball chain and clasp from my stash.

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.

2/26/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

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.

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.
