One of the Artisan Design Team members inspired this card! (The Artisan Design Team is a group of selected demonstrators who create for Stampin' Up!'s socials and to inspire everyone.)
I used the Peaceful Garden bundle (stamp set and dies) plus the 3D Birch embossing folder. Inks are Secret Sea and Cloud Cover (blended on the circle die). What do you think of the Secret Sea glimmer paper dove?
This card uses the Peaceful Garden DSP and bundle (stamp set and dies) plus the Peaceful Garden glimmer paper.
I thought that I would add the die cut dove to the front of the card, but it just seemed to overpower the card. To help it pop on the inside, I blended some Cloud Cover ink like I did on the front sentiment label.
Did you know that I host a live video on my Inky Scrapper Facebook page each Thursday evening at 7:30? Recently, I made this card using the Autumn Toile DSP and the September Paper Pumpkin stamp set. (Learn more about Paper Pumpkin subscription box HERE!)
I will be featuring these products in my October card and scrapbook class on 10/19. If you can't attend in person, you can request a kit. Email me for more info!
Happy World Card Making Day!!! This card is very similar to the sympathy card I recently shared, but this time I used a piece of the gorgeous Beautiful Gallery 6"x6" DSP as my focal panel. For the flap, I added two Everyday Arches dies (Secret Sea and Basic White). The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (part of the Beautiful Gallery suite).
I may stamp the inside when I decide who will be getting this card. Who would you send it to?
We moved our girls to two different new apartments two weekends in a row, and I am so please to have their new places immortalized in scrapbook layouts!
I used the Make a Memory scrapbook kit and have instructions to make elevated layouts. This guide is free to anyone who purchases this kit as part of a minimum $75 order with me!
Here's another fun birthday card I made and sent to someone recently. I used scraps from the now retired Wildflower Birthdays collection to make a double easel card.
I stamped the sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set in Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party, then fussy cut around the edges.
This card uses the Floral Impressions DSP and bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) with Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Darling Duckling, and Old Olive.
Be sure to decorate the inside of your card and the outside of your envelope! I added Pecan Pie for the flower centers.
The Happy sentiment is from the Layered Thoughts stamp set, and the birthday letters were die cut with the Alphabet a la Mode dies.
Earlier this month I was able to complete my August highlights scrapbook layout thanks to the amazing virtual Month-by-Month Album Retreat (still available, while supplies last HERE, with an invite to a private Facebook page with teaching videos).
It was fun blending ink on the rays to make them pop!
The clouds and some of the circle accents also got a little blending love.
The right page uses flip flaps to add more photos to tell our story. It was a big month for us! Can you see how the thread connects the photos to the journaling?
Anyone who purchase the Month-by-Month album retreat from me at full price will receive a $43 gift of Stampin' Rewards to be able to purchase an album (or whatever else you'd like).
Though I often make cards specifically for the recipient, I also try to have a few birthday, thinking of you, and sympathy cards on hand. I used Peaceful Garden suite for this card.
This card has a flap on the front that was cut from the front of the card.
Don't forget to decorate the inside of your cards!
This card is the first card of four that my lovely ladies and I made at my September monthly card class. (Please reach out if you'd like to know more! I teach monthly card and scrapbooking classes in my home with kit options available if you're not local or can't attend in person. I also offer class instructions PDFs for a small fee.)
This card features the gorgeous Earthen Toned Metallics 12"x12" Specialty Paper dry embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3-D embossing folder. (Don't you love how a Christmas-themed suite can also be used for fall?) I stamped the sentiment from the With You in Mind stamp set with Pecan Pie ink on the Very Vanilla die cut label. I cut the Pecan Pie sprig from the coordinating Peaceful Garden dies and the Crushed Curry sprig from the (retired) Perennial Lavender dies. I stamped the leaves from past Paper Pumpkin kits in Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow then fussy cut. I finished with Streaked Dots and some linen thread.
Don’t you love the shine of the Earth and tone metallic specialty paper?
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Stampin' Up! September Blog Hop! I'm excited to be part of this group! If you're already hopping, then you've probably arrived from Michelle's blog.

This month we are highlighting a favorite product of mine, flip flaps!
On the left page, I used a 4x6 flip flap to reveal a smaller photo and hidden journaling. (The large journaling box actually has a lot of journaling, including our daughter's new address that I didn't want to share publicly.)
The techniques you'll learn with the Virtual Album Retreat videos provide such great value to the bundle! I think I'm getting pretty good at ink blending! What do you think?
I added a 3x4 flip flap because I had more photos than "recommended" (but seriously, you can make these layouts work for any photos!). I have the missing photo ordered.
If you've ever wanted to try scrapbook but were afraid to start, this bundle is for you! (*NOTE: Anyone who purchases this bundle at full price from me will receive $43 in Stampin' Rewards to purchase an album- or whatever else you'd like!)
This layout was probably the most challenging one to make, but boy was it fun! I messed up a bit on following directions, but no one will ever know!
On the right page, I love the interactive heart with journaling! It is absolutely okay to cut your page protectors to access these little gems! (And I will be adding a photo to the empty mat; I just missed getting it ordered in time.)
(*NOTE: Anyone who purchases this bundle at full price from me will receive $43 in Stampin' Rewards to purchase an album- or whatever else you'd like!)
Did you know that Stampin' Up! hosted their first (annual I hope) Virtual Album Retreat this summer, and the bundle is still available (while supplies last). (*NOTE: Anyone who purchases this bundle at full price from me will receive $43 in Stampin' Rewards to purchase an album- or whatever else you'd like!)
I'm using this bundle to document 2025, month by month. I've finally had time to work on it, and here is my take on the January layout. On the right page, the tags will pull out to read the journaling and see more photos. (I'm waiting on some 3x4 flip flaps to finish the photos on the tag.)
This weekend, I challenged myself to create a fall card with the Floral Impressions DSP and coordinating bundle (stamp set and dies). What do you think?
This Sunday, I'm hosting my September card making and scrapbooking class that will feature the Peaceful Garden suite. I made this quilt card to show off the pretty papers and versatility of this suite.
Please RSVP for class by this Friday at 5 PM so that I can prepare materials. Let me know if you're interested in attending in person or in receive a kit with instructions. We create 4 cards and/or a two-page 12"x12" scrapbook layout at each monthly class.
Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is the last day to order the September Paper Pumpkin subscription box, Fall for Toile! You can sign up or manage your subscription HERE.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Here's another triple-layer bridge card, this time featuring the Beautiful Gallery suite paired with my With You in Mind stamp set.
I had fun layer dies to create this pretty card quickly.
All of the supplies to make this card can be found in the annual catalog (and my website) if you'd like to make something similar.
Again I made two versions of this fun-fold birthday card for my August class using the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP.
The sentiment from Layered Thoughts was heat embossed using two different techniques.
I kept the inside plain for the message and to highlight that pretty DSP.
My next card class will be September 14, so please reach out if you'd like to know more!
This card is much easier to make than it looks at first! At my August card class, we made versions of this triple-layer bridge card using the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP.
See how the large vase acts as a bridge to connect the top and bottom pieces?
For the top card, I stamped the sentiment from With You in Mind in Lagoon and for the second card, in Night of Navy. I kept the inside plain to have plenty of room for a message.
Who would you send this card to?
By the way, my next card class will be held September 14, so message me if you'd like more information!
