Crafting with You

This year for my ScrapFest Make & Take I’m using a very themed stamp set… Crafting with You. If you’ve seen the stamp set and dies then you’ll know why I couldn’t resist. I mean just the paper trimmer and emboss machine that’s part of this set make it a great addition to any paper crafter’s craft stash!

I’m pairing it with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack that’ll soon be retired. It’s nice and colourful! And I cut up a couple of different designs to give some options with this fun fold card. I wanted to do something a bit different, but still easy enough to copy from the sample. And because I have a couple of different designs of patterned paper, I’m using a nice neutral card base; Smoky Slate. Plus this is the perfect colour for the paper trimmer and scissors I die cut in advance.

To make the base, you’ll start with a standard 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base. I highly recommend that you score it in half (at 4 1/4″) before you diagonally cut half of the front of the card base off. It definitely makes it easier! Then I added another piece of Smoky Slate cardstock which I folded in half and added some Basic White to the inside and outside.

From here I simply stamped a sentiment and an emboss machine of the outside piece of Basic White cardstock using Smoky Slate ink. Then to pull a little colour from the DSP, I stamped a few little hearts with Fresh Freesia ink. Next I added a die cut paper trimmer. And to finish it off a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some bling.

Crafting with You

I hope that everyone at ScrapFest enjoys crafting with Crafting with You as much as I have been! I’m so glad to see that it’s sticking around for a while longer.

Sadly the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack is not. Check out a masculine themed card I made with this great pack of patterned paper here.

And don’t forget the last chance sale is only for a little while longer!

World Card Making Day 2023

This past Saturday I celebrated World Card Making day 2023. It actually didn’t look much different than other Saturdays. Except for maybe a little extra crafting time when I joined Stampin’ Up!s free online event! It was a lot of fun. And they shared a sneak peek at some upcoming online exclusive products coming out next month.

Before the online event I shared this card over on my YouTube channel. It shows off the Crafting with You bundle which I thought was very fitting for the day. I’m just starting to craft with this bundle and can’t wait to make some more projects with it! For this card I used a Fresh Freesia card base. Then I layered a few strips of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to create a kind of quilted background.

On top of that I have an easel that I stamped with Crumb Cake ink and decorated with a Fresh Freesia sentiment and flowers. Once I die cut that out, I popped it up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I created a Smoky Slate paper trimmer. I added the ‘moving’ blade with a Mini Glue Dot and then popped that up too. To finish it off I added a few of the blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
