Travel Mini Album

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! Another year term starts this month with ScrapbookingStore design team and I couldn’t be happier! Such an amazing company to design for! The awesome travel-themed August 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades is here and I’ve popped in this morning to share my first project created with it! I’m totally loving everything included in this collection! I created a fun travel mini album from eight journaling cards included in the paper pack and embellished all the pages with coordinating papers, stickers, chipboard accents, adhesive brads and ephemera! So fun!

I trimmed up eight of the 3×4 journaling cards along with eight pieces of patterned paper, rounded the corners, and adhered them to Neenah Classic Crest Double Thick 165# Solar White cardstock pages cut to 3-1/8” x 4-1/8”. I embellished the back side of each page with stickers from the sticker sheet, die cut rectangles created with the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, and ephemera from the upgrades, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. I used a chipboard accent and adhesive brad from the upgrades to embellish the front. I punched a hole in the top left corner of all the pages with my WRMK Crop A Dile Big Bite and affixed a ball chain with clasp from my stash. I cut several pieces of pink, teal and yellow ribbon and tied them around the clasp with a white twine bow.

Beachy block card

Hi friends! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend and it doesn’t involve being outside! In addition to the heat, we’re dealing with biting insects – I don’t remember them being this bad here before! Yay for Deep Woods Off! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you this morning created with the awesome July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I just love, love, love the patterns and colors in this month’s collection! I chose a bold black and white stripe pattern with a complimentary red and white star patterned paper along with some chipboard stamp elements, a tag and adhesive brads from the upgrades to create a colorful quilt block card!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel and embellishing strip from two bold patterns in the collection. I chose four stamps from the chipboard phrases and a tag from the frames & tags in the upgrades for the card front. The finishing touch was adding two red brads from the adhesive brads in the upgrades.

I embellished the inside with a strip of the red and white star patterned paper used on the front along with a double-stitched square die cut from my die cuts bin. I really have to work on using these more often because the bin is over half full, lol! This one was cut from CutCardStock Twine cardstock using a My Favorite Things Double Stitched Square STAX. I added a stamp sticker from the sticker sheet, which completed the card.

Hey everybody! How are you holding up in this heat?! Even though it’s pretty warm here in southwestern Colorado, we don’t feel the heat quite like most other central and coastal states because we don’t have as much humidity. That’s definitely a good thing! I’m thrilled to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you this morning created with the amazing July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m so digging this collection of awesome papers, stickers, frames and tags, and adhesive brads! The fact that every single paper and element coordinates with all the others makes it that much more fun to create with! I made a mini slimline step card (my tutorial for this fun fold is HERE) showcasing the papers and stickers as well as items in the upgrades!

I cut the card base using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I cut layers from two coordinating papers in the kit as well as a length of crocheted lace from my stash. I chose the focal element from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades, and then added several stickers from the sticker sheet which I popped up on foam strips. The finishing touch was adding two adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock as well and embellished it with a sticker from the sticker sheet. I’ve also included a side shot so you can see the cool construction of this step card! So fun!

Howdy peeps! Happy Thursday – we’re one day closer to the weekend! I’m happy to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with the amazing July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers and stickers in this collection are so fun, and they are great for creating beach-themed fun folds! I created this swing easel card using papers and stickers along with a chipboard element and adhesive brads from the upgrades, and it’s full of waves and critters! It can’t get any more fun than this!

I cut the card base using my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I cut layers and an embellishing strip from several coordinating papers in the kit. I trimmed a journaling card from the kit for the focal element and added several stickers from the sticker sheet and the turtle chipboard element from the adhesive brads in the upgrades. The finishing touch was adding two white adhesive brads.

And one final view of the card folded flat for mailing!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with the July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving this collection with all the coordinating and fun summery papers and elements! I created a gift card holder using coordinating papers along with items from the upgrades! Who wouldn’t love to receive this to use for a beach party?!

I cut the gift card holder base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels and an embellishing strip from coordinating papers in the kit. I rounded the bottom corners on the front flap and chose a large sentiment from the adhesive brads in the upgrades. The finishing touch was adding a small disc magnet for the closure which I adhered with Ranger Distress Collage Medium.

I adhered a tag from the tags & frames in the upgrades for the inside sentiment which completed the gift card holder.

Just Chillin’

Hi everyone! I hope you aren’t melting, lol! After the wicked cold winter we had, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about the simmering hot summer we’re having! But dang it, Mother Nature… give us a break! It’s time to start sharing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration projects created with the amazing July 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. OMGoodness, another summer collection that’s absolutely awesome! I created a fun twisted gate fold using papers and stickers along with chipboard and adhesive brads from the upgrades!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating patterned papers in the collection. I chose a chipboard phrase from the upgrades for the focal element and layered it on an additional print. The finishing touch was adding two adhesive brads.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the patterned paper used on the front with the chipboard, and added a couple stickers from the sticker sheet.

hello Summer Days Z-Fold

Howdy peeps! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I used papers and stickers as well as ephemera and adhesive brads from the upgrades in this month’s collection to make a Z-fold. The Z-fold is probably one of the simplest fun folds to make and they sure do pack a punch!

I cut a standard A2 size Z-fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pinwheel patterned paper in the collection. I chose a coordinating journaling card, layered it on another patterned paper and adhered a chipboard pinwheel to the center. The finishing touch was adding two large clear adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel from the patterned paper used for layering the focal image on the front. I ran strips of Me & My Big Ideas navy blue star skinny washi tape to outline the inside area and then adhered pinwheel and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet.

Summer Truck

Hey everybody! Happy Fri-YAY! I hope you’ve had an awesome week and you’re able to enjoy some this gorgeous weather! I’m excited to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! This adorable shaped Summer Truck card features papers and stickers from this month’s collection and is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it! This die set is awesome and I couldn’t wait to use it again with the items in this amazing kit!

Using the Keep It Simple Vintage Truck die set, I cut the main pieces for the truck from three coordinating papers in the collection, along with CutCardStock Basis Black, Stardream Metallic Silver and Dolphin Gray for the ancillary pieces. I assembled the truck, popping the tail gate up on a foam strip, and added flower and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet. The finishing touch was adding tiny iridescent clear gemstones to the center of the flowers and slightly larger red gemstones to the tail lights.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using a My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX die. I embellished the panel with a leftover strip of patterned paper from the kit and a sticker from the sticker sheet.

Hello Summer

Hey everybody! Is your weather on this Terrific Thursday as wonderful as ours out here in southwestern Colorado?! OMGoodness, I wish it could stay like this year-round! I’m back this morning with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! Square cards are fun and just a tad bit different than the usual A2 or slimline sizes. This 5″ square card features papers and stickers from this month’s collection as well as a few adhesive brads from the upgrades. I used one of my favorite die sets and love how it turned out! Dress me up and you can take me anywhere, lol! ;)

I cut a 5″ square top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pretty yellow print in this month’s kit. I grabbed the Keep It Simple Party Dress dies and cut the dress from two more prints in the collection, using the dress as a stand-alone element rather than a card. I embellished the waistline with several adhesive brads from the upgrades and added a sentiment from the ephemera in the upgrades (popped up on a foam strip) along with a tiny sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with border stickers from the sticker sheet. I added a sentiment from the ephemera pack in the upgrades and layered the panel on Papertrey Ink Orange Zest cardstock.

Howdy peeps! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m sure you know that shakers are high up on my list of favorite kinds of projects. This one features papers, stickers, and ephemera and chipboard from the upgrades, and is packed with different shaker mixes! I have to ask – is there such a thing as too much shaker mix in a shaker card?! Bahahaha!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a layering panel from a pretty pink striped print in the collection and grabbed a frame from the pack of ephemera in the upgrades for the shaker.

I used Kat Scrappiness Bubble Gum Sprinkles Sequin Mix, Crystal Clear Pinwheel Sequin Mix, and Pearl Glass Dots for the shaker mix, and added a chipboard tree from the upgrades to the front of the shaker element. I fussy cut a sentiment from a piece of ephemera which I embellished with dots from a Kirarina Wink White Pearl marker for a little interest. The finishing touch was adding a few more pieces of the Bubble Gum Sprinkles using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper in the kit. I added a sentiment sticker and layered the panel on the pink striped paper used on the front.
