MEMORIES NEED TO BE MADE ON MONDAYS

Well, I get to say ‘welcome back’ after my week away on holdiays.

Today I want to share some scrapbooking layouts that I made during the Creativity Now virtual event that many Stampin’ Up! demonstrators were able to take part in earlier this month.

The event featured the soon to be available Peaceful Garden Suite Collection and the Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

Both the Suite and the Workshop Kit are just stunning and will be available when the September – December 2025 Mini Catalogue goes live.

The first six images show the layouts made using the Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

The kit comes with great instructions.

I bought a few clear plastic wallets to store the pieces of DSP and two-tone card that I precut for the layouts.

Where there are elements overlapping the photo spaces I left them unglued so that I easily position photos before securing the elements later.

On these two pages I miscut the DSP but I was able to make some basic adjustments to still get a great result.

The page of stickers makes decorating each layout quick and easy to embellish.

Using the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder on elements of the layouts added some great additional texture.

After finishing the 6 layouts, from the workshop kit, I went on to create an extra layout using some of theleftover papers from the kit.

I also used the new Party Alphabet Dies and the Party Banner Dies.

It was fun to use strips of the leftover DSP, in varying widths, to create the background for the photo spaces and thepage title.

These scrapbook layouts were great to create.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming Virtual Album Retreat where I will be able to create 12 double page layouts , one for each month of the year.

On Wednesday, I will share more details about this event with you.

Tomorrow I have some cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED

Each Friday I enjoy sharing a Fun Fold card.

Today I have a variation of a Trifold Easel Fun Fold card that was inspired by the ‘pop up’ large butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies.

I started with a 12″x 12″ Basic White card that I cut to 5 3/4″ and then scored at 4″ and 8″.

The largest butterfly die in the collection (top right) is designed to cut an upper butterfly layer on a card that flips up leaving a ‘full’ card back.

For this card I cut the butterfly card front although I did not cut away the card around the butterfly.

I cut a piece of Balmy Blue card to add to the card front around the butterfly shape. I also cut a Balmy Blue bokeh butterfly to attach to the butterfly flap.

The front of the card is quite simple. I did colour some Iridescent Faceted Gems with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends pen.

I cut a second bokeh butterfly and placed it inside the first inside layer. This layer folds out to be the bottom of the Easel card.

I cut a third butterfly and placed it in the same place on the ‘inside’ layer.

The third panel had a panel of Balmy Blue and Basic White card added so that someone could write their message to the recipient.

This insert had a splatted image stamped on it twice. The back of the envelope was also stamped with the splatter images.

Finally the greeting was stamped and die cut. After positioning the greeting, as the easel card anchor, I added some coloured Iridescent Faceted Gems.

I’m not quite sure what I will have for you next week but I’m sure that it will inspire you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY IS TIME FOR A 3D TREAT

Today’s 3D project was inspired by a spare butterfly from Monday’s scrapbooking layout.

I used the spare Berry Burst bokeh and Basic White butterfly and created a gift box for it.

The Berry Burst box measures 2 1/2″x 2 1/2″ and is 3″ deep. The lid is 2 1/2″x 2 1/2″ and 1″ deep. The lid sides were scored just under (1/16″) an inch to make the lid just ever so slightly larger than the box itself.

Once the box and lid were assembled, I attached the large detailed butterlfy to the front of the box.

Then I cut lots and lots of Berry Burst bokeh small detailed butterflies. These were attached to the top of the lid using Multipurpose Glue and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added lots of the Iridescent Facted Gems to the centre of each butterfly.

I can imagine popping a beautiful white silk scarf in this gift box.

What would you pop inside?

Tomorrow I have an Easel Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
