Hello Friends! I'm back today sharing a card using the AMAZING new cardstock from Scrapbook.com. I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE paper! I guess being a card maker, you kinda have to! LOL! I've used a lot of cardstock in my day and I must say, that this cardstock is my FAVORITE!


Today's card is a simple one because I really wanted to showcase the cardstock. So, the best way for me to do that was die cut, die cut, die cut! I started with that sweet postage background using a die from the Happy Mail set.


Next, I die cut my florals and sentiment and did a little ink blending to add more visual interest. Next, I die cut my sentiment. For the secondary background, I die cut a shape from the Treasured Garden die set.


I added a little lunar paste to the die cut for texture and then adhered all the pieces to my card front. And, I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but the cardstock is already cut down to A2 size! It comes in heavyweight, glimmer, polka dot, canvas and classic. The colors are amazing and the quality it TOP NOTCH! I highly recommend it.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! You may be asking, what's up with me and the birds lately?! LOL! Well, all of these little birdies from Scrapbook.com have me singing a sweet tune!


Aren't those rub-ons ADORABLE! So, for the rub-ons, I die cut the Rickrack Arches from the new A2 Premium Cardstock I believe the color is Rose Chintz. If I haven't mentioned it before, the new cardstock from Scrapbook.com is amazing! I highly encourage you to check it out! 

I selected a few rubons for my focal point as well as my sentiment.


Next, I used the Little Boxes 3D embossing folder for my background. Look at that texture! I absolutely love it! After adhering the arch on top, I completed the card with a few clay hearts from my stash.


Thank you so much for stopping by today for this "tweet" card.

Hello Friends! Has Spring sprung in your area? The weather has been absolutely beautiful here! We get a few showers here and there, but it's really been lovely. I love all the signs of springs, birds chirping, flowers blooming and everything just looking so alive! It's amazing.

Today, I'm sharing a spring card using supplies from Scrapbook.com. The stamp set I used is called A Little Birdie and it has so many cute images!


For this card, I started with an awesome 3D Embossing Folder called Whimsical Wood Grain. I added a little ink blending to give it more of a distressed look. Next, I stamped and colored the images from the stamp set and colored them with my Olo markers. 


Next, I took white cardstock and ink blended with teal, yellow and pink inks to get that rainbow effect. I absolutely love how that looks!


Lastly, I adhered my images, along with the cute tree branch and florals I die cut with the Love Birds die set. Lastly, I die cut the banner from that same die set and used the rub-ons to add my sentiment. This is such a colorful and cheerful card!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! There's a great deal happening right now at Scapbook.com! It's the Sugar Rush collection and it is SO GOOD! I used a few of the components from the bundle to create this sweet card.


I started by using a couple of sheets of the patterned paper to create my background. For the top of the card, I pulled out my decorative edges dies to die cut that sweet stitched scallop-y edge. 


Next, I stamped and colored the popsicles with markers then die cut them with coordinating dies. I also used glossy accents to add a little shine. After that, I die cut solid colors from the paper pad with the Nested Swiss Dots die set and then splattered a little white ink on top.


Lastly, I stamped and die cut my sentiment and sub-sentiment and added it to the front of my card. To finish it off, I added a few glitter drops. This card was so much fun to make but it only scratches the surface of what's included in the bundle. And, you can't beat the price, it's nearly 50% off of the MSRP!!! I hope you check it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Can you believe that Easter is almost here?! We celebrated Palm Sunday at church on Sunday and now the countdown is on! I love that I can also turn to my crafting for Easter happiness as well. 


This card was so much fun to make! I used the Decorative Egg die set from Scrapbook.com along with patterned paper from the Heirloom collection. This card came together pretty quickly. I die cut my background along with the egg. The egg has areas that are debossed so all of the die cuts nestle perfectly into those areas.


I finished off the card by stamping my sentiment from the Easter Wishes stamp set along with a few dew drops for added interest. I totally plan on giving this card to Paige for Easter. I just love how it turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Today, I'm sharing punny card made with products from Scrapbook.com. I just love the stamp set I used for this card, it's called Silly Geese and it's absolutely adorable!


I knew as soon as I saw that sentiment, "don't let anyone ruffle your feathers" I just had to use it! I'm sure you've had to tell yourself this or share that sentiment with someone close to you. Sometimes, you have to quiet all of the outside noise in order to get things done and that's exactly what this card is saying.


I die cut my background with patterned paper from the Blossom collection. Next, I stamped my image and colored it with Olo markers. I fussy cut the image and added a little glossy accents. It's hard to see in the picture, but it looks super cool IRL!


Next, I die cut an oval and added die cut grass at the bottom and added that adorable goose right on top. I also stamped my sentiment and added a few sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! Just like the title says, it's time to Spring into Happiness! Hopefully, the sun is shining and the birds are singing where you are. I have to say, I was in North Carolina this week and the temperature went from sunny, 70's-80's down to 32 degrees when I left! Unbelievable! But, Spring is peeking it's head and hopefully she'll come to stay soon enough.

Today, I'm sharing a very Spring forward card. It's colorful, it has florals and butterflies, all the things that resemble Spring.


This card was so much fun to make. I started with my striped patterned paper and I cut it down to size and adhered to my card front. Next, I die cut solid cardstock from the Jellybean paper pad and added the floral rub-on and sentiment. 


I added a scalloped border to the bottom of the sentiment and adhered to the center of the card. Next, I die a beautiful butterfly using the Flutter die set out of patterned paper. Can I just take a moment and say that this die set is AMAZING! The size of the butterflies is fantastic and the fact that you can add florals and foliage is awesome. Okay, I digress, next I adhered the butterfly to the right-hand corner and added a few sequins for embellishment.

I absolutely love how this card turned out! It's so bright and it screams SPRING! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,
Carol

Hello Friends! I hope all is well where you are. Today, I'm sharing a cheerful Congrats card. I made this card for a friend who recently got A HUGE promotion and in my mind, there's no better way to celebrate than with a thoughtful card.


I started by using the Quilted Stars, 3D embossing folder. I am just loving the new embossing folders from Scrapbook.com. Oh! I almost forgot to mention that I used the Ombre paper pad for the embossing. Isn't the color on that cardstock gorgeous?!


Next I stamped and die cut that beautiful Congrats sentiment. Before adhering, I also die cut some foliage to add behind my sentiment and then I finished off the card with a few sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello Friends! I'm back today with a sweet love card. I actually made this card for my hubby for Valentine's Day. I think it kinda has a masculine feel...



For this card, I used another 3D embossing folder that I'm obsessed with, Ethereal. I love how it looks against the black cardstock.


Next, I die cut one of my favorite word dies, Love You out of red cardstock and added it to the center of my card panel. Next, I stamped and die cut a sub-sentiment also from the Love You stamp set and added that to the bottom of my card.


Lastly, I die cut a few hearts from silver cardstock as a little extra embellishment. I'm so happy you stopped by today!

 Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing well and I'm also hoping that Spring is showing up in your neck of the woods! It's been a LONG winter, even by south Florida standards. We've had some really chilly weather here which is definitely not the norm. But, I'm thankful for the sunny days even if the air is a little crisp!

Today, I'm sharing a cute shaker card with products from Scrapbook.com.


Isn't this card so much fun! Every time I make a card with a shaker element, it just makes me smile! For this card, I started with a fun new product, the Polka Dot 3D Embossing folder - oh how I love this! It just brings so much texture and it's a great focal element.


Next, I used the Heart Shaker Domes to add my shaker bits. The shaker domes are great because they already have adhesive on the back, so you just add your shaker pieces, remove the adhesive and add the heart dome directly on top. Easy Peasy!


Lastly, I adhered the polka dot panel on top of patterned paper from the Holly Express paper pad - it ain't just for Christmas! LOL! Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment from the Thanks Friend stamp set.

I enjoyed making this card so much and I sure hope you enjoyed it too!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hugs,
Carol

Hello Friends! You know what the new year means, right? It means it's time to get organized both in your home and in your crafty space. The Christmas decorations are down and put away in the attic, now I'm focusing on my studio.

Scrapbook.com has a couple of items that I am absolutely loving right now. The first is the Craft Caddy. This tote is perfect for storing those items that you're using right now. I'm using it as my "seasonal bag." There are three colors available but if the color you want is out of stock, just click the button so you can be notified as soon as that color is restocked.


Currently, I have Valentine's and spring themed stamps, stencils, rub-ons and dies in my caddy. I can set it on my craft desk and grab all of the products that I need super easily. And, you can move it around as you see fit. So, if I'm heading to my daughter's volleyball practice, I can take it with me, or if there are a few things I want to work on while I'm sitting in front the TV, I can do that as well. It's a great craft caddy!

Next, is an awesome Magnetic Glass Mat that is a great size and it's perfect to use the large magnets to hold your paper while you ink blend. This one is definitely a keeper and a tool that I will use each and every time I craft.


I certainly hope this post has inspired you to start making room for 2026 by tidying up and pulling out those spring themed supplies. You know the season will change before you know it, why not be prepared! LOL! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Happy New Year! Does anyone know how long you should continue to say Happy New Year?? Is it a week, a month, two months?? LOL! Anyway, I hope 2026 is already bringing you joy and creativity beyond measure!

Today, I have a bright and fun card to share. All products used are from Scrapbook.com,


For this card, I started by die cutting a piece of the beautiful patterned paper from the Watercolor paper pad. I used the Swiss Dots rectangle die to create that dotted pattern in the background. Next. I pulled out my mixed media cardstock to add some color using Lustre Brushes.


The sparkle of the lustre brushes is so pretty IRL! The photos do not do them justice! I die cut my rainbow using Nested Stitched Decorative Labels. Next, I stamped my sentiment from the Love You stamp set.


Lastly, I added a few die cut butterflies around my sentiment for a little flutter! Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026!! As I said in my previous post, I'm walking calmly and gently into the New Year! I started my year by attending a New Year's Eve church service and it just filled me spiritually. I feel refreshed and ready for what 2026 brings!


Today's card uses fun products from Scrapbook.com. I love the rub-ons at SBC, so I pulled out the metallic Polka Dot rub-ons for my background. Next, I heat embossed my sentiment and die cut it using the Wavy Circles die.


I adhered my wavy circle to the center of card and added a few Pops of Color for a little added sparkle and shine! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I wish you a creative start to 2026!

Carol
