MONDAY IS FOR MEMORY KEEPING

I took a break last week, from posting projects, because I was doing some craft room cleaning. It was time to pack away the ‘last chance’ products that will soon be unavailable to purchase.

Then, when the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue went live I was able to order the other new products that I wasn’t able to order in the demonstrator preorder period. I am slowly organising all these new products and planning when I will feature these in my posts … so, stand by for some exciting new product shares and inspiration.

These week I am featuring a bundle that has been on my shelf unused for far too long – Beautiful Butterflies Bundle.

I am also featuring the Beautiful Bokeh 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack.

I haven’t found the photos from my daughter’s fairy party yet but I was still able to prepare the scrapbooking layout that I would place them on. She is now 34 but but was 6 when we had that party.

Here is the layout.

I used a Berry Burst 12″x 12″ piece of card as the base.

Then I cut four Basic White photo mattes for 5″x 3″ photos. The mattes are a 1/4″ larger to allow for a thin white frame around the photos. the mattes were positioned equally in each corner of the base card.

I cut a 4″ panel from the Balmy BLue, Berry Burst, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight bokeh DSP sheets. Then I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of each of them. Finally, I used the detailed butterfly die to cut each one out.

After cutting four Basic White full butterfly shapes, I adhered the DSP butterflies to their white background.

Each of these four butterflies were partially adhered to the bottom corners of the photo mattes. This created a space for photos to be added later.

I filled the centre space with three more butterflies leaving an aesthetically pleasing odd number of butterflies on the page.

Although I haven’t yet given the page a title, it will have be something ‘fairies re like butterflies’.

A wonderful range of new products, in the new catalogue, are the flip flaps, memory protectors and albums for those of us who love our scrapbooking/memory keeping.

I hope these new scrapbooking products help you with all your memory keeping.

Tomorrow I have a technique based card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

HELLO FUN FOLD FRIDAY

My Fun Fold card today is a SIDE STEP CARD and it has been quite a while since I last made one.

I am continuing with my Mother’s Day theme this week and have decided to feature the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection.

The Side Step card base was made using one of the new 2025-2027 In Colours, Timid Tiger.

I also used some of the Cloud Cover and Secret Sea cardstock.

After adding the card and DSP panels, I added Adhesive Sheet to some Timid Tiger card and cut ‘mum’ using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I enjoyed fussy cutting all the colourful drinks and layering them across the side step card.

The ‘cheers’ greeting was stamped and cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The card insert and back of the envelope were both decorated with a fussy cut drink.

This soon to be released collection of products is going to be so much fun to create with.

The final touch was to add some of the Crushed Curry Adhesive-backed Dots for Days.

Next week I will have more inspiration to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT FOR MOTHER’S DAY

I found two delightful soaps that I wanted to create gift boxes for, for Mother’s Day. One has a sweet, berry aroma and the other a mango and passionfruit scent.

I created two boxes measuring 3″x 3″x 1 1/4″. One was made in Crushed Curry and the other in Strawverry Slush.

The top of each box had a square panel of the floral paper, from the Celebratory Sips 12″x 12″ DSP pack, attached to it.

I cut several flowers and leaves to decorate the top of each box. The flowers came from the Country Flowers Dies and the leaves came from the Thankful Garden Dies.

The greetings were stamped in coordinating colours before being cut using one of the squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

These greetings were then attached to the lid with Stampn’ Dimensionals.

And, finally, tomorrow I have another Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
