Storybook Moments scrapbook spread

I love the design we used for this months Storybook Moments scrapbook spread! I saw it used on another spread and adapted it for Storybook Moments. It is so unique! And wither you use it for Easter or another special moment in time….it is versatile!

Storybook Moments 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is on backorder for now….but should be available around March 17th 2025.

The ephemera used here comes with Storybook Moments 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper….2 sheets! So you have plenty of characters to “play” with for you scrapbooking or card projects.

This next scrapbook spread is so happy, fun, bright, and inviting!!! It uses Wildflower Birthday 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and it also has the ephemera in the package of Designer Series Paper - 2 sheets with plenty of large and small designs to use!

Click on the pictures above to expand. I found that the dies from Spotlight on Nature worked perfect as a backdrop for the birthday cake and flowers in Blueberry Bushel card stock and Gold Foil for this spread.

Sale-a-bration Heart Shaped Bundle/Sr. Center Class

We have been creating bea..Uuuu…tiful projects with Sale-a-bration Heart Shaped Bundle! It’s one of those free stamp and die bundle from Stampin’ Up with a $120 purchase!

I love the leafy heart shaped die cut! It is so versatile to use for Valentines coming up or a wedding card, just an everyday card….it can be used for any season. It’s just an all around great bundle to have!

The first card I’d like to show you is one I am giving my team who attended the Zoom team meeting on Saturday. I also used Sale-a-bration free products Bloom Impressions DSP and the Starstruck Embossing Folder and Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon. It was not my goal or intention to use so many of the Free Products on this card…..they just worked so well together!

 
 

We used a little extra gold by die cutting one of the leaf branches in Gold Foil and then added some Gold Pearlized Enamel Effects brushed on to the Lost Lagoon die cut heart as well was placing some of the Gold Pearlized Enamel Effects in the center of the die cut Blackberry Bliss die cut flowers.

Here are a few more of our team meeting cards….We’ve used the Sale-a-bration products: Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper, Pick a Season stamp set, Day to Celebrate stamp set along with Stampin’ Up Linked Together stamp and die bundle.

Look at the lattice die cut on the Blackberry Bliss card….it looks so 3D and it is! The lattice has been die cut 3 times and layered one on top of another to give the 3D effect. I stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on the top lattice die cut and also on a rectangle cut the same size as the die cut. The bottom stamp was with colored in with Fresh Freesia and Soft Seafoam inks and Stampin’ Up daubers
