Hello Friends! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to 2024! Today, I have a winter-themed card that is sure to brighten up anyone's day!



All of the products I used are from Scrapbook.com and everything works so well together. I started by using the wavy circle die, but before I die cut, I used a few glitter brush markers to add some color and shine to my background. 


I then added some glue to my panel and just pieced it back together. I love how it looks! Next, I cut that cute polar bear from the Winter Wishes die set. Once I had that cut out, I added her to my card front,


Last but not least, I added my sentiment to the bottom right of the card. I think it's perfect for this winter themed card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Can you believe that there are only 4 days until Christmas! OMG, how did it get here so quickly! I'm so not ready! Okay, okay, I digress...today I have a fun card to share. It's totally not holiday themed at all but I think it will make you smile!


This card came together super quickly. I used patterned paper from Scrapbook.com called Joyful. After adhering the patterned paper, I die cut white cardstock using the A2 Diagonal Stitched die and adding a little ink blending to the center. 


Next, I die cut my cowboy and cowgirl hats using the Disco Party die set. I adhered them both to my card front and stamped my sentiment from the Howdy Yeehaw stamp set. I added a few sequins to finish off the card and I love how it turned out!


Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Remember I said it was full swing ahead for the holidays?! Well, I have another holiday card for you that uses an embossing folder and dies, NO STAMPS! Yes, NO STAMPS! This was a super fun card to make.


I used a heart embossing folder for my background and then I die cut my fun glittery trees! I also die cut my sentiment all using the Gingerbread Cookies die set from Scrapbook.com. I love the font of that sentiment, don't you?


This is one of the cards that's very cute and comes together really quickly which would be great to mass produce. I love when that happens!


Have you started your holiday cards yet? Well, now is as good a time as any! Let's get those cards and holiday crafts started! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! I hope you're doing wonderful. Well, Christmas season is in full swing and I'm starting off with some really cute Teacher Gifts. These hot cocoa jars are perfect for the gift giving season and I created my own tags with a super cute stamp/die/patterned paper set from Scrapbook.com.




For my tags, I used the Nested Tags and cut out two tags. I added a little ink blending in the background using distress oxide inks. Next, I inked up the cute images from the Sweet Christmas stamp set and colored them using alcohol markers. 

After die cutting those, I chose a couple of sheets of Gingerbread patterned paper and adhered that along the bottom of the tag. I then added my image, along with a few dew dew drops and my sentiment. To finish off the tag, I grabbed a great die set called Bow Toppers and added a bow to the top of each of my tags. Trust me when I tell you that you will want this die set in your stash. It's great for the holidays but also birthdays and any occasion where you want to add a bow. So cute!


I can't wait for Paige to give this her teachers! I think it's a great way to kick off the holiday season. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,

Carol

For this card, I used the Joyful Flowers rub-ons and look at those colors!! The designs are beautiful and this totally looks like stamping to me!

Hello Friends! Today, I'm sharing a Quick and Easy card using the Joyful Wishes stamp and die set from Scrapbook.com. This is super popular set and I believe it's currently sold out, but be sure to press that Notify button so you can notified as soon as it comes back in stock!


For this card, I decided to go with kraft card stock because I don't use it very often and I wanted a warm feel to this card. I also pulled out a few Distress Oxide inks and went direct to paper by just swiping the ink onto my card stock. I love this organic looking rainbow that it formed.


Next, I stamped and die cut that lovely Hi along with a couple of butterflies using the coordinating dies. I added them to my card front and I also added a little glitter to the tittle of the "i" by using some Pops of Color. This is a card that could easily be mass produced.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! So, I'm stepping away from the fall vibes (momentarily) to bring you a festive Christmas card! I just cannot say it enough, the patterned paper from Scrapbook.com is amazing! It has a great weight and the patterns are just oh so cute!


For this card, I started by ink blending green cardstock with white pigment ink. Next, I used a Nested Arches die to die cut some cute patterned paper from the Merry collection.




After adding the nested arch, I die cut a few snowflakes from glittered card stock and adhered them to my card. Lastly, I die cut the holly jolly sentiment. This would be a great card to mass produce because it really didn't take much time at all!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! So, although I absolutely love living in south Florida, I truly miss the fall! I love the crisp air, the beautiful colors on the leaves and just that all around vibe that the holidays are coming. To help with my fall blues, I made this sweet card.


I told you this card was sweet! I started by using the Pumpkin Patch stencil from Scrapbook.com. I believe I used a very light distress oxide ink for the ink blending. I then cut that out with one of my favorite dies. Next, I die cut a stitched circle and a few leaves from the Cozy Autumn die set. I stamped my sentiment from the Spooky stamp set and adhered everything to my card front.


Oh! before I adhered by sentiment circle, I added a little Distress Mica Stain to grunge it up a little bit! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Halloween is right around the corner, do you have any big plans? Not much this way, we'll be taking Paige trick or treating (she's going to be Glenda the Good Witch this year) and pass out candy to the neighborhood kids. Pretty basic stuff going on over here. LOL!

So, today I have a fun card to share. It's my version of spooky which means it's fun!


I used awesome patterned paper and stamps from Scrapbook.com. Don't you just love those skeletons in the background? So darn cute! I decided to stamp the haunted house from the Spooky stamp set onto some vellum. I think it looks pretty cool on top of the patterned paper.


I just love everything about this card! Fun, festive with a hint of pink. Right up my alley! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! I know it's not very often that I share layouts and it's really not very often that I share a layout with just a photo of me! I'm usually the one taking the pictures and not getting my picture taken. I'm sure many of my scrapbooking friends can attest to that! 

Today, I'm sharing a layout using a stencil, patterned paper and rub-ons from Scrapbook.com.



I started off by stenciling the leaves using a few different colors of distress oxide inks. Once my stenciling was complete, I used a few strips of Cozy patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom of my layout.


Next, I knew I wanted some journaling but my layout was just a little on the busy side, so I hid my journaling behind my photo. Once I decided where my photo would be adhered, I added all of my rub-ons so they could peek out behind my photo. I used the Retro Garden rub-ons and the colors look beautiful with my photo!


This layout is just bringing all the fall vibes, and I'm here for it! If you get a chance to read my journaling, it comes straight from the heart. I fully live my life being kind to others and being a woman of faith I do not take that lightly. Although things happen in my life that I don't like or I can't change, that will never deter me from being me and who I am at my core. As I always tell me daughter, never let anyone steal your joy! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Today I'm sharing a Halloween card! I usually don't create many cards for Halloween but this stamp set from Scrapbook.com is so cute, I just couldn't help myself!


Do you see the sweet little faces on those ghosts?! Adorable! This set is called Trick or Treat. I started by using a background die to add a little interest then I used distress oxide ink to ink blend my background. 


Next, I stamped and added a little color to the cauldron and fussy cut it out. Then, I stamped those cute ghosts onto some vellum. I used my heat tool to get the ink nice and dry before I fussy cut them out. I added a few bats to my background and adhered the rest of my images. 


I finished off this card by heat embossing the sentiment which shows up really nicely on the dark background. Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! I'm back today sharing another rub-on set from Scrapbook.com. I'm telling you, I love these rub-ons! Today, I'm using the Wild Blooms rub-on transfer set and it's absolutely beautiful!



Isn't that gorgeous! These blooms look like a paining to me, the artwork is phenomenal! I just added my rub-on to my card front and then I thought it would look even better with some stitched detail so I pulled out a die from my stash to do just that.


Next, I added my sentiment from the Hi Fall stamp set and then I added that sweet little heart, also from the rub-on set.


This was another quick and easy card. You could easily whip up a few of these and send a set to a friend. Easy peasy! I'm so happy you stopped by today!

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Is the heat letting up in your part of the world? It's not in south Florida, I can tell you that for sure! Although the temps aren't cooling down, I can still use some cool fall colors in my crafting. That's exactly what I did with this card using some brand new items from Scrapbook.com.


 
I did very limited stamping on this card! I used Rub-ons, and the rub-ons from Scrapbook.com go onto your project like buttah! They are so smooth! Even my daughter was like, mommy I thought that was a stamp!


I used the Cozy Autumn rub-ons and I only needed one for this quick and easy card. That TOGETHER sentiment is everything! I absolutely love it. After adding the rub-on, I some ink splatter with dye inks from my stash.


To finish off this card, I stamped, colored and fussy cut a pumpkin from the Grateful Gnomes stamp set. Although this card came together rather quickly, I think it's visually stunning! I sure you hope you like it too. And, make sure you check out the Scrapbook.com store because they have so many rub-ons and they are must-have for your craft stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 Hello Friends! I'm back today with a super cute Fall themed card. I'm using dies and patterned paper from Scrapbook.com.


Okay, cuteness overload on that hedghog, right! This is a great die set because you get all the pieces for the hedgehog as well as a Thanks sentiment and a pumpkin. Along with the hedgehog die set, I also pulled out the Cozy Foliage die set (one of my new faves) and added a few leaves behind that super cute hedgehog.


I adhered everything onto a piece of patterned paper from the Noel paper pad. The stripes in the patterned paper were the perfect compliment to my hedgehog scene.


Lastly, I added a few gold pearls to finish off this card. I hope you enjoyed today's post! Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Okay, so I'm going from Fall on my last project back to Summer with this card! I have a beautiful card to share using new products from Scrapbook.com.


I am just loving the sparkle on this card! So, to start off I used the gorgeous Geo Squares A2 plate to cut out my card front out of white card stock. Next, I used the Patterned Butterflies die set to cut those sweet butterflies from the Merry paper pad. Don't be afraid to pull out your Christmas papers to use on non-Christmas themed projects!


Next, I pulled out my Holographic paper pad to die cut my sentiment. If you look closely, you'll see there are silver stars in the paper! The sentiment was cut from the Grateful Sentiments die set. This set has a really lovely font. I finished off the card by adding a few silver gems because of course I needed more bling!


I hope you liked today's project. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! I know that it's super HOT outside, but I have a fall card for you today. Hopefully, the fall colors will remind you of cooler days and chilly nights sipping on hot apple cider! I used some new goodies from Scrapbook.com to create this fun card.



Isn't that gnome adorable! Oh my goodness, I had such a fun time coloring him with my alcohol ink markers. Okay, but first things first, that background...don't you love it?! I have not used my alcohol inks in a hot minute so it was great creating this fall themed background.


After that, I used a sentiment from the Grateful Gnomes stamp set. I trimmed those out and adhered them to the top of my card. Next, I used a stitched circle die to create a space to adhere my cute little gnome.


Lastly, I die cut a few leaves from the Cozy Foliage die set. I added the leaves behind my stitched circle, popped up my gnome and this card was done. I absolutely love how this turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Is it  super HOT where you are? Oh my goodness, it's so HOT and HUMID in south Florida right now! As soon as I step outside, I instantly start to sweat...not a good look. LOL! Today, I have a fun summertime card using a gorgeous stamp set from Scrapbook.com.


So, I don't do single layer cards very often, but the images in this set are so big and bold, I just had to do it! I used the Hello Summer stamp set and I started off by stamping that large sun. I used a couple of different colors of ink to get that ombre look and I think it looks fantastic!


Next, I stamped a couple of birds over to the right of the sun and then I stamped my flamingo. I used some alcohol markers to color the image and then I fussy cut it out. Next, I stamped my sentiment and then added a little splatter using distress oxide spray. Lastly, I adhered my flamingo.

I love how this turned out! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! I hope that all of my friends here in the US had a wonderful 4th of July holiday! Mine was great, although it was extremely HOT!!! But, that didn't stop us from enjoying good food and having a great time with our family! So, today, I'm sharing a card for Dad.


Okay, I know what you're thinking, flowers for dad? YES, flowers for dad, men like flowers too! LOL! I used a few products from Scrapbook.com. First, I started off by die cutting a slimline stitched panel for my card front. Then, I used the Outline Letters stamp set to stamp the word DAD in the center of my panel.


Next, I heat embossed that beautiful floral image from the Rose Blossoms stamp set. I absolutely love how this looks! The "A" is just peeking out from the behind that gorgeous bloom. To complete the card I used a rub-on to add my sub-sentiment and a few sequins finished off this card.



Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,

Carol
