Hey everybody! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! Our weather is glorious here in southwestern Colorado and I hope to be outside at least a little bit to enjoy it! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the super pretty May 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Everybody seems to love the pop-out Z-fold cards I’ve made lately, so I decided to create another one featuring several of the gorgeous prints in this month’s kit.

The card base and diamond shaped layers were cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Layering panels were cut from CutCardStock Basis Soft Pink cardstock and 12×12 Cardstock Shop Brown Thai Banana Handmade Paper along with several coordinating papers in this month’s kit. The front sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the STAMPlorations Layered Citrus stamp set. I added one adhesive gem from the upgrades which finished the card front.

The inside sentiment was stamped in black ink using the Concord & 9th Painted Tulips stamp set.

Camera Mini Album

Hi everyone! Happy Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re looking forward to a weekend full of awesomeness! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the absolutley lovely May 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The paper pad in this month’s collection is divine, as are the upgrades, and I had such fun! I’ve had my Cricut out again and created an adorable camera mini album using a cut file in my arsenal. The fun thing about this particular mini album is the hidden binding. I have several more cut files for hidden binding mini albums, so stay tuned! I don’t know when I’ll get to making the rest of them but I sure plan on it!

I cut the album cover and inside pages from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock and all the album elements in the cut file from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice, Sweet Tooth, Jellybean Green and Lemon Drop. I then cut layering panels from a variety of pretty papers in this month’s kit and embellished the pages with chipboard stickers, adhesive gems and washi tape from the upgrades. I made pockets for several of the pages with my WRMK Pocket Punch Board along with pull-out inserts, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling.

Here are shots of the entire album. This was definitely a fun one!

Happy Easter Handbag

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great week! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you this morning created with the awesome April 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. You know how I love me some paper purses, and I just couldn’t resist making one with these gorgeous double-sided papers! I dug into my SVG cut file arsenal and once again used Luxury Handbags from SVG Cuts. There are several purses in this file and I chose the boho style handbag this time. I aim to make all of them at some point! ;)

Using my Cricut Exlore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Luxury Handbags cut file, I cut the purse, pocket, strap, and little tag embellishments for the boho syle handbag from a pretty floral and gingham double-sided paper in the kit. I used some ancient flock-covered brads in my stash (pretty sure I’ve had them since 2006, lol) to secure each side of the strap. I made a tassel with my We R Memory Keepers The Works All In One Tool and some white yarn in my stash which I attached to the strap with the tags utilizing a small ball chain.

I added a Pink Paislee 5th & Monaco Flower Embellishment (left over from last month’s kit) to the front pocket and a sentiment sticker which I layered onto paper in the kit, trimmed, and adhered over the pocket. I included an angled back shot of the handbag. So stinkin’ cute!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week has started off on a happy note! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome April 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This month’s kit has Easter vibes and all the Spring feels to it, and I totally love it! The twisted card was showcased in an old Splitcoast Stampers newsletter and the tutorial is HERE. So glad I finally got around to making one… not only is the shape super fun, but the design is awesome! What a great way to give a gift card or cash or any occasion!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft Paper along with layering panels from CutCardStock Aubergine cardstock and assorted patterned papers in the kit. I created a little scene using stickers from the sticker sheet.

I embellished the inside panels with additional papers and stickers from the kit. This card was really easy and worked up fast – it would be a great one to mass produce for gift card or cash giving!

Bunny Kisses fun fold

Hi friends! Wow, the weekend sure flew by, didn’t it?! I’m back with my second post this morning to share an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the awesome April 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This tented easel card features papers and stickers from the kit along with a chipboard accent from the upgrades. I love how it turned out, and of course it helps to have pretty papers with matching elements! This is a super easy fold – cardstock size is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2″, making the folded card 4-1/4″ square. Front layering panel is 4″ x 4″ and bottom layering panel is 2-1/4″ x 4″ with a white layering panel for the inside cut at 4″ x 4″. It’s small but it’s mighty! ;)

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and an assortment of papers in this month’s kit. The focal image/sentiment was cut with a Spellbinders Classic Oval Die, layered on a scalloped oval cut with a Classic Scalloped Oval Die, and popped up on 1″ double-sided foam strips. I added a tiny bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Ribbon with a small wooden bowmaker that my awesome friend, Maureen, gifted me this past Christmas. I created the easel ‘stop’ using a sticker from the sticker sheet adhered to a cardstock scrap, trimmed, and popped up on thick foam squares. the finishing touch was adding a chipboard banner and tulip from the upgrades.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip cut from an additional patterned paper in the kit, a narrow black cardstock strip, and a square-cut journaling card from the collection. I included an additional angled shot so you can better see the construction. Love!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day! We’re still waiting for some semblence of Spring here in southwestern Colorado… how about you?! I think we can safely say that ol’ Punxsutawney Phil was a little confused, lol! I have another awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the March 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This side accordion panel card is a great fun fold that really packs a punch. My inspiration for this one came from Pinterest, and I’ve watched videos on Lisa Curcio’s blog and Sharon Armstrong’s blog.

Here are the mini instructions: Cut the 5-1/2″ x 11″ card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink cardstock, score at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″, and fold on all the score lines. Cut a smaller folded piece from Bubble Gum Pink at 3″ x 6″ and score at 3″. From coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit, cut three 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panels for the left side, a 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the right side, and two 2-3/4″ square panels for the smaller folded piece. Cut one additional 2-3/4″ square panel for a sentiment. Embellish as desired.

I embellished the front with elements from the Paige Evans Garden Shoppe Embellishments in the upgrades and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which I popped up on dimensional foam squares. The inside sentiment is a trimmed journaling card from the collection.

Here’s a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. I totally love how this one turned out!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you are having a great week! I’m delighted to be back today with another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m totally smitten with all the patterned papers, stickers and floral-themed upgrades in this month’s kit AND I have quite a few purse SVG cut files in my arsenal, so it didn’t take me long to decide what one of my projects was going to be, lol! This is the first time I’ve used this particular cut file and I love how it turned out. This fun shaped card was easy to assemble, and I definitely see a few more of these in my future. ;)

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Luxury Handbags SVG cut file (specifically the Purse Card file), I cut the card base and front flap layer from two coordinating papers in the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. I cut the handles, front flap and envelope from American Crafts Blush cardstock. I assembled the card and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet as well as a flower from the Pink Paislee 5th & Monaco Embellishments in the upgrades.

The inside panel was cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock which I embellished with sentiment and floral stickers from the sticker sheet. I cut the envelope from the Blush cardstock.

Hi friends! Happy Monday to everybody! I have another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the gorgeous March 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m totally in love with all the florals in this month’s kit and have created a motivational side pop-up card using a set of Hot Off The Press dies in my stash. It never hurts to have a few cards handy to give to someone who needs a little lift, and florals are always the ticket!

Using the Hot Off The Press Side Pop-Up Card Dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock along with layering panels from a floral print in the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. I cut a coordinating journaling card from the kit using a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die to use as the focal image. I adhered an assortment of floral stickers from the sticker sheet to Solar White cardstock scraps, fussy cut them and adhered them to the tiers on the card base. The finishing touch was adding iridescent gemstones for a little bit of bling.

I added a Solar White panel to the back which I embellished with a leftover strip of the floral paper used on the front and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This was an easy one!

Hey everybody, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you wearing green or do you want to be pinched?! Bahahaha! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the awesome March 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I created a pocket front card and my inspiration came from THIS Splitcoast Stampers tutorial. I’ve had these instructions in my arsenal for a few years and had never made one, so I figured it was about time. Dina made hers with a gnome theme and it kind of grabbed my attention since I was looking for a fun design for a St. Patrick’s Day card!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock 100# Cougar Smooth White along with layering panels from a clover print in the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit as well as CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green. I embellished the front with elements from the Simple Stories St. Patrick’s Day Page Pieces in the upgrades as well as a stamped gnome from the Stampingbella Gnomes Have Feelings Too stamp set which I colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut. I created a separate round card that I tucked into the pocket – it’s not a very big one but it does have room on the inside for a short message and signature. ;)

I added a large shamrock (also from the Simple Stories St. Patrick’s Day Page Pieces) to the inside of the card. This fun fold can be used for any occasion and I’m sure I’ll be making it again. Next time I think it would be fun to add a sentiment to the inside and tuck some fun tags and ephemera into the pocket on the front. The sky is the limit, as they say! ;)

Howdy friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend and it’s not too cold where you are! It has been snowing for a few days here and we still have lots of snow on the ground from the last time it snowed, but it’s all good! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today, created with the awesome February 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I created an all-time favorite hidden message slider card featuring papers and stickers from the kit along with tags and frames and stickers from the upgrades. I’ve had handwritten instructions for this fold in my arsenal for many years and then late last year I found a ‘slider surprise’ die set at My Favorite Things… what a game-changer! But if you’re interested in making one of these without the die set, you can find my instructions HERE.

Using the My Favorite Things Slider Surprise Die-namics, I die cut the base and pull element from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels for the base and pull element (using the dies a second time) from coordinating papers in the kit. I used an element from the frames and tags in the upgrades for the focal on the front and fashioned the loop for the pull element from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

To create the surprise message, I adhered a sticker from the sticker sheet to a scrap of Cougar White cardstock, trimmed it and rounded the corners. I trimmed an additional patterned paper from the kit and adhered it to the inside bottom of the card base along with the surprise message and two red holographic hearts from the upgrades. Such a fun project!
