oh what a beautiful day

Hi everybody, Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the awesome January 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’ve been having the time of my life playing with all the goodies in this month’s collection. You know how much I love me some fun folds (and I love purple) so I created a pop out accordion card featuring papers and stickers in the collection along with die cut pieces from the upgrades… all in purple! My inspiration for this card also came from Lisa Curcio’s blog. She’s one talented lady and I get SO much inspiration when I visit!

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Lilac cardstock. Layering panels were cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Lilac and Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with coordinating patterned papers in the collection. A sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet was added to the front along with floral die cut pieces from the upgrades.

The finishing touches were adding a couple Eyelet Outlet Mini Butterfly Brads and a few yellow gemstones from my stash.

Hey everybody! I hope your week is progressing nicely and it’s not too cold where you are! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the awesome January 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I totally love the gorgeous papers in this month’s kit and created a hidden pocket pop up card featuring several papers and stickers from the sticker sheet along with die cut pieces from the upgrades. My inspiration for this card came from Lisa Curcio’s blog and I LOVE how it turned out! I totally love a card with three sentiments, AND these papers really work well together! A win-win for sure!

The fun fold card base was cut from CutCardStock Basis Soft Pink cardstock and embellished with coordinating papers from the collection. A large die cut from the upgrades was adhered to the front on 3D foam squares along with a sentiment sticker and several Keep It Simple Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dots. Stickers from the sticker sheet were added to the pop up panel on the inside.

The innermost panel was embellished with patterned paper and cardstock strips along with a sentiment sticker.

Very Merry Double Flap Fun Fold

Hey everybody! Here’s to a Terrific Tuesday! It sure is a beautiful day! I have an awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the amazing December 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I can’t stop swooning over the gorgeous prints in this month’s collection! You know that I’m a fun fold fanatic and I’ve created a double flap fun fold which features several papers and stickers from the December kit. There are several versions of the ‘double flap fun fold’ and this one is definitely on my list of favorites! I hope you aren’t getting tired of seeing this fold, lol!

The card base and circle flap were cut from Solar White cardstock and embellished with three patterned papers from the collection. I used the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies for the circle flap and layer. A sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet was added along with several light green gemstones from my stash. The finishing touch was tying a white twine bow to the left-hand flap. Easy peasy! ;)

An additional white die cut circle and sentiment sticker were added to the inside.

Boho Christmas Cards (set of 8)

12/23/23 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends! Happy Monday! The weekend is gone just like that! Time sure seems to be flying by! I’m back this morning with a super fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with the awesome December 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s collection are pretty phenomenal and one of the upgrade items brought back some very fond memories of when I started card making 30 years ago!

It’s a complete card kit made by Simple Stories – above and beyond the December Scrapbook Kit itself – and includes step-by-step instructions, card bases, patterned papers and tons of ephemera! Yep, you heard that right – a complete card kit that would be a wonderful gift for someone who is just starting to venture into the world of card making! So, to show just how easy and fun this is, I created eight boho Christmas cards using the items in the kit along with adhesive and foam squares from my stash.

Aren’t these totally adorable?! They are all blank inside so I have donated them to Bring Smiles To Seniors! <3

Deck the Halls fun fold

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great weekend and it’s not too cold where you are! I’m back this morning with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the awesome December 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! In addition to the gorgeous papers and stickers in this month’s kit, I love the ephemera bits in the upgrades. I created a pretty double easel fun fold chock full of gorgeous Christmas foliage and cardinals. Who wouldn’t love this pretty card sitting on their mantle?!

The card bases were cut from white and red cardstock and embellished with a pretty green patterned paper from the collection. All sorts of foliage and cardinals from the ephemera bits in the upgrades were added to the short and long easel portions of the card. I also added a few white and black glittered enamel dots.

The inside panel was embellished with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front, an additional piece of ephemera from the upgrades, and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This was a fun one and I love how it turned out!

Hey everybody! I hope your weekend has started off with a bang! Well, not literally, lol! I have to ask… are you ready for that jolly man in the red suit to make his appearance?! It won’t be long! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the December 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The papers, stickers, and upgrades in the kits each month coordinate so well, but on the flip side of that I wanted to demonstrate that the stickers in this Christmas collection are pretty enough to stand alone on a clean and simple A2 card. I absolutely love the pop of color on an all-white background. This design worked up very quickly and would be easy to mass produce!

The card base and background were cut from Solar White cardstock. I used the Kat Scrappiness Buffalo Plaid Backdrop Die but any kind of background die would work for this clean and simple technique. The focal image and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet were adhered to white cardstock, fussy cut, and adhered to the card front on foam strips. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones.

The inside is clean and simple as well, embellished with border and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet.

Winter Wonderland Mini Album

Hey everybody! I hope your week is ending nicely! Every day we’re getting THAT much closer to Christmas and I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with the awesome December 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! You know how I love me some mini albums AND I’m in full-on Christmas mode, so you know what that means! I totally love everything in this month’s kit and used journaling cards, papers and stickers along with ephemera and stickers from the upgrades.

The album consists of trimmed 3×4 journaling cards and coordinating patterned paper panels adhered to both sides of white cardstock panels. The front and back sides of each page were embellished with stickers from the sticker sheet in the kit, ephemera and stickers from the upgrades, and gemstones from my stash. Pull-ups, pull-outs and die cuts were added to most of the pages. The album was bound with two rings embellished with green ribbon.

There you have it! This was an easy one with plenty of room for photos and journaling those Christmas memories!

Give Thanks In All Things

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great week! Happy Veteran’s Day and many thanks to those who served and who are currently serving! <3 I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! In addition to all the awesome coordinating patterns and colors in this month’s collection, you know I’m a huge fan of Autumn/Fall AND fun folds!

I created a triple Z-fold featuring two gorgeous coordinating papers, a sentiment from a journaling card in the collection, and enamel dots and puffy stickers from the upgrades. This is such a fantastic fold that really packs a punch, and I hope you all aren’t disappointed that I’ve made another one, lol! I made the strips on this one slightly narrower than the last one so more of the background paper shows. And I’ve added this project showing the comparison of the width of the strips to the instructions in the Freebies section of my blog, so be sure to check it out if you’d like to learn how to make this fun fold.

The card base and strips were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and embellished with two coordinating prints from the kit. The sentiment is a trimmed-down journaling card from the paper pack and embellished with a twine bow and puffy stickers from the upgrades. I finished the front with a few enamel dots, also from the upgrades.

The back panel is also embellished with a coordinating print and a sentiment created with a puffy sticker from the upgrades. I love that this standard sized A2 card folds flat for mailing!

Fall Blessings GC Holder

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – can’t believe it’s here already! But that’s a good thing for most working folks! I’m back this morning with another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! With the beautiful Autumn/Fall weather upon us, I thought it was only fitting to create a coffee cup shaped gift card holder with pretty patterned papers and stickers from the collection. I’ve made quite a few coffee cup shaped cards over the years (reworked from THIS tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers) but this is the first time I’ve ever made it with the gift card mechanism inside and I love how it turned out!

The card base was cut from heavyweight white cardstock and embellished with three coordinating prints from the kit. The sentiment was die cut from a journaling card in the paper pack and embellished with flourish stickers from the sticker sheet. I dry embossed the cup ‘sleeve’ with a Darice Stripes embossing folder. The front was finished with an additional sticker across the top of the lid and some gemstones.

I embellished the inside panel with a couple more stickers from the sticker sheet. This would be awesome with a Starbucks gift card!

‘Tis The Season To Be FALL-y

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The Fall colors and prints in this month’s collection are phenomenal and the ideas running through my head are never-ending! I created a fun hidden message slider card featuring papers and stickers along with a chipboard phrase and puffy stickers from the upgrades. I’ve made several hidden message slider cards in the past and my notes are for a hand-cut version. I now have a My Favorite Things die (yesss!) that makes this hidden message slider card without all the measuring and I’m beyond tickled!

The base of this card is cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and layered with several prints from this month’s collection. The focal image on the hidden slider panel is a chipboard phrase embellished with a couple puffy stickers, all from the upgrades.

When the hidden slider panel is pulled upward, the hidden message appears beneath it which I created with stickers from the sticker sheet. Such a fun surprise for the recipient!
