Hello Friends! Can you believe that Halloween is tomorrow?? I surely cannot! I mean, where has the year gone?! Are you dressing up or going to a party? Me, nah, I don't dress up but my daughter does! This year she's Wednesday from the Adams Family! The costume is super cute!

Today, I'm sharing a not so traditional Halloween card. I say not so traditional because it's PINK!!!


I used the Charmed collection from Scrapbook.com to create this super cute card! I started by using the patterned paper for my background and then built the card on top of that.


One of the things I love the most about this collection are the frames. They all have such unique shapes, I love the size and they can be used for so many things...think Christmas!


After stamping and die cutting the frames, I did the same for the icons in the stamp set. I added that sweet Happy Halloween sentiment and that completed the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Halloween!

Hugs,

Carol

Hello Friends! Well, I would say that the Fall is among us, but it's still almost 90 degrees here! Just when I think the weather is cooling down, the sun comes back in full force!! LOL!

Although, I may not live in a fall climate, that doesn't mean my cards can't! Today, I'm sharing an Autumn card that really is making my heart swoon!


This card was made from another fabulous SBC Fest bundle. This one has a gorgeous paper called Primrose. Isn't it beautiful?! 


To make this card, I used a stamp punch to create my background. Next, I cut a wavy rectangle out of vellum and added the die cut leaf. Lastly, I die cut the letters from the Typewriter alphabet. I adhered everything to my card and I am just loving the fall vibes that it's giving!


Thank you so much for stopping by today! Are you using your fall-ish crafty supplies right now?

Hello Friends! I don't know about you, but birthday cards are always needed in my stash! Today, I'm sharing a card made with another bundle from SBC Fest. 


I absolutely love the colors in this card! It's got some fall vibes! For this card, I started with the embossing folder. I used the Scalloped Quilt 3D embossing folder and then stamped and die cut my focal image using the Hello Wildflower bundle.


Next, I die cut that beautiful patterned paper and added it to the center of  my card. Lastly I adhered my focal point, sentiment and a few sequins to finish off the card.  Soft, sweet and perfect for a birthday!

Hello Friends! Today I'm sharing an anniversary card utilizing one of the SBC kits from Scrapbook.com. What I love about SBC fest is that many of the kits can be used ALL year around for ANY occasion. 


I used the Hot Air Balloons die to create my focal image. I used both solid and patterned paper from the Charming collection.


I used the anniversary sentiment and added a clay heart for embellishment. My hubby and I recently celebrated our 22 year anniversary and this is the card I gave to him. He LOVED it!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

 Hello Friends! I have such a fun card to share with you today, and you know what? It's super easy to mass-produce!


All products used are from Scrapbook.com. You could totally set up assembly line style to complete this card. Start with all of your die cut pieces, so the window and the holiday gift (which includes the tag). Line all of those pieces up. And, so you don't get bored, die cut the bow in various colors!


Next, cut patterned paper down to A2 card size to fit behind the window along with vellum. Line those up and well. Then, I would stamp all of my tags so they are ready to go when you get that part of the assembly line. Now, you can layer your vellum over your patterned paper and adhere to the window pane. Assemble your bow, add to the upper middle of your card and then tie your tag with twine, repeat!


This will give you a great jump start on your holiday card making! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Carol

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-ons, dies 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!

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

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.

Hugs,

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.


For this card I used the same patterned paper, but I also used the Land that I Love stamp set. The colors, the font of the stamp are just beautiful! If you're in the states, I hope you enjoyed the 4th of July holiday and I also hope that you pick up these goodies for all of your patriotic needs!

I started this card by using the Nested Swiss Dots Rectangles. I did a little ink blending around the edges to match my card base.

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?

Thank you so much for stopping by.

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.
