Scrapbooking Global Hop - November 2021 - SCRAPLIFT

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 Theme is "Scraplift!"  brought to you by Design Team Member, Courtenay Heuston




I have never heard of the term "scrap lift" before. In card making we call it CASE - copy and share everything. In this case, you copy a scrap bookers layout design and make it your own style. 

I enjoy 'photo collage/blocking' type layouts as it helps my fit several photos onto a page. I saw a 10 x 10 layout on Zazzle that I really liked and made it work for my 12 x 12 page. 


We obtained some 4 generation photos with my father when my daughter and her family were in the US for a visit. This was the first time my dad saw her great granddaughter since she was born in March of 2020. It was a bitter sweet moment that I just had to scrapbook. I'm working on another page to frame and put up in his home.  

The layout itself is simple, it just takes trimming photos to fit the space. I was originally thinking of adding blue as the accent color, but there are yellow hues in the photos, I decided to accent with the in-color Bumblebee which is in the ribbon on each side and the square gems in the sentiment. 

I used our adhesive sheets when I die cut "FAMILY" so they would be raised and attach easy to the layout. 

Lastly, it was  such a beautiful day when we were out with Brylee, I decided to add the dragonflies using vellum paper and a bit of wink of Stella to make them sparkle. 

I hope this inspires you to pull out your stash and create some pages. It's easy to do with all the wonderful products Stampin' Up! has that coordinate together. 

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - Nov 2021 Color Inspiration

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 Color Inspiration. The team will shares projects incorporating the colors of Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. 


I had lots of ideas, almost too many to make a decision. I was reading up on holidays in November, besides the big Thanksgiving holiday and found a reference to National day of "Drinksgiving". This national holiday happens to be today! With many friends and family returning home for the holiday weekend, many end up getting together the night before for a cocktail! 

With this in mind, I turned to a favorite stamp set, Nothing's Better Than and also my favorite card sketch design that works great for this card. These colors do remind me of something tropical, so the cocktail image from the set fits perfectly with the theme. 

Card Details: 

Stamp Set: 
  •  Nothing's Better Than + Love You More Than Dies
  • A Wish For Everything - sentiment 
Paper: 
  • Coastal Cabana: Card base 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" 
  • Bermuda Bay:     Strip for die cut Cocktails, I placed the paper on adhesive sheet before die cutting to make it easy to adhere to the card.  
  • Real Red: 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" 
  • Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper : 3" x 4 1/2"
  • Vellum: 2 1/2" x 4" - This adds a nice layer under the cocktail dies to mute the silver in the DSP
  • Basic White:  2 1/2 x 3 1/2 strip for cocktail images; scraps for the sentiment that I just fussy cut; 4" x 5 1/4 for inside of card/                      
Ink:  TIP: I stamped off on several of the images first, then used my marker on just the lower part of the inside stamp to create a layer look to the cocktail. 
  • Smoky Slate - glass images
  • Coastal Cabana 
  • Bermuda Bay 
  • Real Red 
  • Tuxedo Black Memento ink - I imply crossed out Thanks and add Drink with my red marker
  • Versamark  - For the 3rd glass that is 'empty', I decided to stamp the inside image with versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. I sponged the slightest wipe of red to give it a 'used' glass look. 
Other: 
  • Clear Embossing powder 
  • Heat Tool 
  • Adhesive sheets- small strip for 'cocktails' die cut 
  • Stampin' Seal
  • Stampin' Dimensionals 
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine 

I had so much fun making this card.  I hope these colors inspire you to create something that brings you joy and share with others. Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun, Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop!

Crafty Collaborations Christmas 2021 Countdown Blog Hop

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 projects Counting Down to Christmas. Christmas traditions often started with prior generations, but also may have begun with you! This blog hop may give you some ideas that you'd like to start 

I typically do not make cards in volume. However, Christmas card giving has been a tradition of mine I started many years ago. This means making over 100 cards to send to family & friends.  This requires some planning on my part in order to create time and space in my schedule to get them in the mail by early December. I'm fortunate to have several friends that create with me. Typically it begins with a fall craft retreat when we start to get our ideas for our holiday cards solidified. I typically make several designs, often breaking them down into 25-50 cards per design.  

This year, I made close to 90 cards from the pack of  Tidings of Christmas designer series paper. The initial inspiration came from my card designed for the Christmas in July Blog  I made a few other designs using the same paper strips. These are the 7 card designs that made up the 90 cards. 

I'm now in the process of getting my address labels updated to print and put on envelopes. I will break down the cards in bundles of 15-20 to sign with a personal message. This gives my hand a break from signing too many at a time. By breaking down this process over a period of 60-90 days, it makes the experience much less stressful and often a very social experience with my friends. I'm on track to have these in the mail around the first week of December. 

I've listed all the products at the end of this post.  With the exception of the Holly Jolly wishes stamp set, these products are from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog and will be available through the end of April. 

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun, Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.
