Scrapbooking Global - October 2023 - Using a Kit Contents

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.


Today's challenge is brought to you by Sherry Roth who is inspiring us to use Stampin' Up! Kit contents. This can be a Paper Pumpkin, kits from our kit collection or possibly a combination of several. 




I've had 2 adorable photo's of my granddaughter that I've been wanting to scrapbook. I recently played with the April 2023 All The Little Things Paper Pumpkin kit and remembered that the colors from this kit could work perfectly with the photos.  (Note: If you are a subscriber to Paper Pumpkin, you can still order this past kit - see link in product list below)


The floral die cut elements are so pretty in this kit. I made a few sympathy cards with the kit contents but left the rest of the kit to make on another occasion. Lucky me, I can use it with these photos and the sentiments form the kit fit in perfectly.  


I used a basic white 12x12 sheet as my base layer. Onto that I cut one of the kit envelopes in Balmy Blue and simply adhered it to the bottom right portion of the base. There was still some white space on the bottom left so I used one of the balmy blue card layers and adhered it there. It gives some nice dimension to this space. 

The photos themselves are 5x7so they fit perfectly across, although there was a small gap between where I added some of the kit layer elements.  The floral die cuts fit beautifully to accent the page. Quick and easy to adhere. All stamping is from the stamp set in the kit, although I used Calypso coral ink instead of the Shaded Spruce ink spot that came in the kit. All sentiments were stamped onto the precut elements from the kit. I added the string as well from the kit along with the embellishment gems. Keeping with the quick & easy theme, I used my Calypso Coral Stampin' Write marker to write in the title on the top. 

This page came together so quickly and add a nice touch for these fun photos of my granddaughter.

#DOswts420 - Sketch Inspiration

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today's feature project is based on the below sketch. 


I decided to use the Beary Christmas Memories & More card pack and coordinating cards & envelopes to create the card for this sketch. 

I cut up one of the base cards from the cards & envelopes pack for the 5 1/4 x 4 layer. The card base is Misty Moonlight Card Stock.


I selected one of the 3 x 4 cards from the card pack and trimmed it to 2 1/2 x 3 5/8 which is adhered with dimensionals. The sentiment strip is just the blank side of the base card I cut up. Last but not least, the bear is from the sticker pack that is included with the memories and more card pack. This card came together so quick and easy! 

Card Details

  • Stamps
    • Beary Cute stamp set  
  • Paper
    • Misty Moonlight card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score 4/14 
    • Beary Christmas Memories & More: Card Pack and Cards/envelopes.

    • Misty Moonlight 
  • Other
    • Very Best Trio punch - slots for the twine. 
    • Baker's Twine Essential pack 
    • Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Dimensionals

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - October - Thoughts and Prayers

 The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today features the monthly Stampin' Dreams hop with a sympathy related theme. I recently receive my order with the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle. The stamp set has all-occasion sentiments, including sympathy, so I decided to create with this bundle. 


The color purple is often associated with grief, the mourning of a loved one, whereas the color green is a sign of harmony. The combination is perfect for a sympathy card. I added butterfly die cuts from the Meadow Dies as butterfly symbolism is often used in sympathy cards as they resemble the stages of transformation in life or can be a sign the deceased has passed on.  


The sentiment on the inside is also from this stamp set, perfect for when words are hard to come by. I hope I don't have to use this card, but as I get older, more and more people around begin to pass. Reminds us to live for today and never pass up a hug from our loved ones.

Technique Tuesday - October - Punches

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today feature technique is using punches. The Heartfelt Hexagon is a new online exclusive bundle that features a hexagon punch. I also recently received the All About Autumn 6x6 DSP and thought I'd create a vertical and horizontal design using the punch and DSP.   


I first cut 2 - 4 x 5 1/4 layers of very vanilla and figured out how I wanted to layer the designs in a pattern onto this layer.  Once I glued them on, I trimmed the excess DSP. The horizontal layer I trimmed down to 4 3/4 x 4


I added a coordinating color layer to each card, moody mauve above and copper clay below. I did the same with the ribbon on each card. The vertical card I left the layer flat, the horizontal I adhered the layer with dimensionals. 

The sentiments were added from two different sets using coordinating ink, both adhered with dimensionals.


I'm super pleased with how they turned out. I'm partial to the vertical design as it was a bit easier to layout and adhere, but they are both so pretty with this beautiful autumn designer series paper (in stock week of 10/9). Leave me a comment on your favorite design.
