A WEEK OF MOTHER’S DAY PROJECTS

In the lead up to Mother’s Day, I thought I would focus on projects for this special day.

My first project is in memory of my mum. I created a scrapbook layout and popped it in a shadow box frame.

I used this floral paper from the Celebratory Sips 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack.

The title was made by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of some BLackberry Bliss card and then cutting the letters out using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies.

The three photos were mounted on Blackberry Bliss mattes and attached to the DSP.

Finally I cut lots and lots of flowers and leaves in the coordinating colours and attached them to the white matte to create cascading floral features.

The flower dies are from the Country Flowers Dies and the leaves from the Thankful Garden Dies.

The top left photo is mum in 1952 when she was 12. The larger photo is from 1962 when she was 22 and the last photo was from 1965 just after we returned from an overseas Air Force posting.

I love the idea of framing a scrapbook layout and having it out on display for the family to see.

My next post will be a Mother’s Day card.

Until them, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

I will be able to create a product list, with all the new products, from May 6th. In the meantime I will share a partial current product list.

MEMORIES THIS MONDAY – A SCRAPBOOKING PAGE LAYOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU

This week I am featuring the All Zipped Up Bundle and Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I used these products to create my ‘Zipping Along Nicely’ scrapbook page.

I started by creating four ‘zip front’ pockets with tagged Basic White inserts for photos and journalling.

After adhering the pockets to the layout base, I created the cascading flowers and hearts decoration. Some of the shapes were glued directly onto the layout base while others were popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

NOTE TO SELF: Position the title before securing the cascading shapes.

The colours in the Full of Life DSP pack are bright and refreshing.

The Keeping Tabs Punch is an essential tool to have in your crafting collection.

Tomorrow I have a technique card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from early May.

I AM REALLY ENJOYING CREATING MEMORY KEEPING PROJECTS EACH MONDAY

As I mentioned last week, returning to scrapbooking has been a long overdue papercrafting joy.

This week I have chosen one of the amazing new product suites that will be found in the forthcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue. So welcome to a week long sneak peek!

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is made up of two stamp sets and coordinating dies packs. There is also a gorgeous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack called Beautiful Gallery with 48 pages – 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. The collection also has a Damask Designs Embossing Folder, Pressed Flower Motifs embellishments and a roll of Basic Beige 3/8″ (1cm) Classic Ribbon.

For my scrapbooking page I used some of the DSP and the the Beautiful Motifs Dies from the soon to be available Suite Collection.

There are five dies in the pack. The three on the right only partially cut cardstock while the other two cut complete floral/foliage shapes.

When the three dies that only partially cut card they can reveal an different coloured card underneath.

For my scrapbooking page, I used the corner fleur de lis inspired die to create photo and journaling corners.

I used a Pretty Peacock 12″x 12″ sheet for the scrapbooking page and then added two of the damask inspired DSP sheets.

The Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set has a stunning damask image that I stamped, in Basic Gray, directly onto the page.

Then I cut and die cut the photo and journaling panels using the corner die. The die cut photo panel then had a slightly larger Basic Gray card panel adhered behind it.

I have added a 6″x 4″ piece of Basic White card to show you where the photo could be positioned.

I haven’t added a title for the page yet because I have yet to find the perfect photo for this page. Then, I will add some journaling to ensure the memory survives.

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
