Another Scrapbook page

I have never been a fan of of the 2023-2025 incolour wild wheat (I think it looks like baby poop) BUT when combined with summer splash, one of the new 2024-2026 in colours it looks amazing! This scrapbook page features so many new products. The sentiment is from the thoughtful journey memories and more card pack, there are three different packs of papers represented- unbounded beauty, thoughtful journey and incolour, and 2024-2026 incolour shimmer gems. I’ve also added some old favorites- love this moment stampset and spots and dots die (retired). These colours really enhance these photos of my gorgeous niece who was enthralled while watching the penguins swim at the aquarium. 

You can shop last all of these  items in my online store from TODAY! 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Until next time,

Happy crafting. 

 

Gingerbread and Peppermint Floating Gatefold Card

I'm not sure what it is about Fancy Fold cards, but I find myself drawn to making them over plain flat cards. I think it's the challenge of making something that literally pops in your face. These floating gatefold cards do just that - they pop as soon as you open them.

They are relatively simple to make, they just take a little time and consideration when placing the floating pieces inside to ensure that you can still open and close the card easily.

On the front of the card started by using some of the Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP for the base layer. I've then used some of the cards from Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories and More card pack to form the sentiment on the front of the card.And finally, I've used some left over biscuits from the wreath last week (you can see it here if you haven't seen it before) with some Rhinestones to finish it off. 

 

Inside, I've stamped the card with one of the sentiments from the Frosted Gingerbread stampset and placed some more biscuits on layers of cardstock and the Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP.  To make them float, you need a 4" long piece of card (Width doesn't really matter as long as it's not wider then the item's you want to float). Score this at 1", 2" and 3", then fold to create a square. Adhere the two open ends to the card - one to the flap and one to the base - opening and closing the card to make sure it will close and also open flat. When securing the floating square - make sure you line it up with the edge of the side flap so that it will close.

You may notice that the card does not close completely on it's own. Some people will make a belly band to help it close, however I've use mini magnets on the inside to secure my cards.

Here are some more variations to the same card, using different patterns from the DSP and different images from the card pack. Below I've included a list of the product's I've used in these cards, If you click on the link you will be taken to my online store where these are available for purchase.

I hope you've enjoy looking at the card's I've made. 

Until next time

Happy Crafting.

Gingerbread & Peppermint memories and more envelope memory book

It's only 14 weeks until Christmas and I've been busily exploring the Gingerbread and Peppermint Suite from the July-December mini catalogue. I love this suite with the coordinating papers, stamps and dies. There are endless possibilities to be made with this suite. 

Today I've used the memories and more cards and envelopes to create a memory book. Each of the pages contains memories of the Christmas traditions my family and I celebrate each year. 

There is one page for Our Elves, Cooking, Carols, Trees and one that celebrates all the other traditions.

 

The video shows each of the pages in more detail and gives you an idea of how the album fits together..

You can find all the items you need to create this album on my online store.

Until Next time,

Happy Crafting.
