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.

2/28/23 Best Technique Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

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.

2/28/23 Stand Out Creation at Scrapping4fun Challenges!

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! :|

Baby it’s cold outside

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.
