Hello Friends! Well, I'm just jumping from one holiday to the next, aren't I?! Last post was Halloween and this post is Christmas! If I'm being honest, that's about how fast the rest of the year is going go...

Today, I have a fun tag project using new goodies from Scrapbook.com.


I used the absolutely BEST set of tag dies for this project. I used rounded stitched tags and variety stitched tags. I already know that I'll be using these again and again and again! I die cut my tags using Holly Lane patterned paper.


Next, I used rub-onsdies and ephemera pieces from my stash to create three tags. I love how they turned out! Super festive, super fun and so ready for the holidays!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hello Friends! Is it too early for Halloween...of course not! And, with the Charmed collection from Scrapbook.com you won't be able to stop making super cute Halloween cards!


I started by using a die to make my background paper look torn. Next, I stamped and die cut all of the frames from the Charmed collection. I love how that pink just POPS off the page!


Next, I stamped the sweet little ghost and die cut him out and then I took the cat and hat die from the set and die cut those with black cardstock. I popped everything onto the frames and then adhered them to them to the front of my card.


Lastly, I stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment and die cut it (yes, that die is also included in the bundle) and added some foam adhesive to add to the front of my card. I absolutely LOVE this bundle! You know what I see, some really cute Christmas cards using those frames! I can't wait to play!

Hello Friends! I know we're still in the thick of summer, but it's never too early to be grateful! Today's project was created with new products from Scrapbook.com.


I am absolutely swooning over the paper pad in the Primrose collection! And, the good news is you can get it as part of one of the kits for SBC Fest!


For this card, I started by using a window die to cut my patterned paper. I then pieced it back into the negative spaces. Next, I die cut that beautiful frame and sentiment using the Primrose dies.


I backed the frame with vellum and adhered everything to my card front. Lastly, I added a few dollops of Pops of Color for my embellishment. I truly love the colors on this card! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! It's been a minute since I've done any memory keeping, and I must say, I've missed it! I received beautiful new products from Spellbinders and I'm super honored to be a Guest Designer this month!

I used a die set along with a gorgeous 3D Embossing Folder from the Torn Edges collection from Esther Glas.


The Torn Edges die contains 22 dies! So many options! And, you can go super vintage or super bright (like I did here). The torn edges look so realistic. Also the page corners and the paper clip are part of the die collection as well. You really get a big bang for your buck with this set!


Also, behind my photo I used the Number Field 3D embossing folder. It is AMAZING! The texture that you get with this embossing folder is unbelievable! I absolutely love it! It's going to be perfect for birthday cards, school memory keeping, all the things! 

Spellbinders knocked it out of the park with this release! Both the die set and embossing folder are supplies I see myself turning to again and again.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! I'm back today with a masculine card, I know, hard to believe right?! Although this card is geared towards dads, the design can be used for any man in your life.


I am just loving the Nature Border die set! It is absolutely perfect for masculine cards! I used just about every die, the hilly grass, the trees, the mountain tops and the clouds! You get a lot of mileage out of one die set and that is what I love about Scrapbook.com you get a lot of bang for your buck!


I die cut and layered all the pieces and added them to my card front. Next, I used the Father's Day die set for the sweet Dad die cut. Lastly, I added my sentiment and this card was done.

I absolutely love how this card came out! Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello Friends! I'm back with a cute shaker card! All products are from Scrapbook.com.


I started this card by using the Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder. I love how much texture the embossing folder gives! Next, I die cut a a Nested Postage die using the Holly Express paper pad.


Next, I created my scene with a rub-on and then added Shimmer Flakes to create a shaker. Doesn't it look like snow?! I just love it!


Lastly, I used what is probably going to be my favorite stamp/die of the holiday season, Simple Sentiments Holiday. You literally stamp 11 sentiments at one time and the coordinating die, cuts them all at once! Genius! I absolutely love it!

Happy Christmas in July!

Hello Friends! I hope you all are doing well and staying cool. It is HOT!!! I think I literally melted a little bit the other day. LOL! So, today I'm sharing a couple of Patriotic cards. I know the 4th of July has passed but it's never a bad thing to celebrate the USA, right?


I absolutely love this card! The red, white and blue just POP! I used some really great products from Scrapbook.com. I used patterned paper the Timeless Traditions paper pad and stamps from Sweet Land.



The next card that I'm sharing also highlights Americana in the best way.

Hello Friends! Summer is officially here...at least in South Florida! The days are getting longer and it is HOT outside! So, today, I'm sharing a summer style card that may not physically cool you down but it sure does look cool! LOL!


All products for this card are from Scrapbook.com. I started by using the rub-on set called Sugar Rush. This rub-on is HUGE it literally covers the front of the A2 card. Since the rub-on was wavy, I pulled out my wavy rectangle dies to cut it out.


Next, I pulled out my Pops of Color and started drizzling and adding polka dots to the popsicles. So cute! Next, I die cut my sentiment and added it to the center of my card.


I think this card just screams summer! I love how it turned out. Are you full summer mode yet?

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.

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.

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!

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
