Grow with the Flow with Scrapbook.com

Hello, my creative friends! Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with a brand new handmade card bursting with floral charm? Today, I'm thrilled to showcase a project made with the oh-so-lovely Scrapbook.com Exclusive Cottontail A2 Paper Pad and the incredibly useful Nested Wavy Oval Dies. The whimsical rabbit pattern from the Cottontail pad became my delightful starting point. I cut it out using the second largest A2 nested rectangle die and adhered it to the center of an A2 card base.

To build upon this sweet foundation, I reached for more gorgeous patterns from the same Cottontail pad. I die-cut a charming gingham, pretty floral, and a lovely green pattern using three of the Nested Wavy Oval dies. Then, with a fourth oval, I created a frame from the green paper. I layered the frame onto the floral oval, then on top of the gingham one, adding dimension with foam adhesive, and then adhered the entire piece to the center of the card base.

For a final touch of magic, I used the "Grow With The Flow" decorative die and some more patterned paper to create a layered sentiment and delicate floral accents. A few strategically placed pastel pink drops of the Unicorn Tears Glitter Pops of Color added the perfect touch of spring sparkle. Trust me, these exclusive Scrapbook.com products are an absolute dream to work with and will infuse your projects with the joy of the season!

Martha Speaks Alphabet Soup Shaker Card with Trinity Stamps

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a card inspired by one of my favorite children's books, "Martha Speaks"! Just like Martha loves to gobble up alphabet soup and gain the power of speech, this card features a fun, interactive shaker element that brings a playful touch to any occasion. I used a wonderful array of products from Trinity Stamps to bring this literary-inspired design to life.

To create this card, I started by die-cutting a bowl shape from green and red cardstock, as well as a piece of acetate, using the Alphabet Soup Die Set. I then die-cut the smaller circle from the center of the green bowl to create the opening for my shaker. After assembling the shaker with a mix of yellow die-cut letters from the same set and adorable Peas & Carrots Clay Embellishments, I adhered it to a circular card base cut using the Circle Shaped Card Die Set.

For a nod to Martha's talking abilities, I die-cut a speech bubble from red cardstock using the Insider Sentiments Speech Bubbles Die Set and spelled out "Martha Speaks" using individual letters. To complete the scene, I die-cut the cutest little dog from the Paw-rents Stamp & Die Set using yellow and brown cardstock, adding stamped details in brown and black inks, and a sweet red collar with a tiny yellow tag. Finally, I stamped the "you're the best" sentiment in black ink, die-cut it with its coordinating die, and adhered both the sentiments and the adorable dog to the card front. This card is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face, reminding them that just like Martha, they are truly the best!

Best of the Bunch with Scrapbook.com

Get ready to create something truly special with the help of Scrapbook.com's incredible exclusive products! I recently crafted a stunningly formal yet sweetly pastel greeting card that I just have to share with you all. Starting with a soft A2 Meadow patterned paper as my base, the gentle hues immediately set a floral tone. To add dimension and a focal point, I used the Nested Flat Oval Decorative Dies to cut out two more coordinating patterned papers. The smaller oval became the perfect canvas for a delicate touch, which I achieved using the Floral Sprigs 6x8 Stencil and Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink for a subtle, vintage feel. Layering these two ovals with foam adhesive created beautiful depth that really draws the eye in.

The details truly elevate this card! I die-cut the charming sentiment, "Best of the Bunch," from more of the Meadow patterned paper, layering pink and green die-cuts to create a lovely drop shadow effect. For a touch of floral elegance, I used the Build-A-Bouquet Decorative Die Set with Candy Shop Pink and Confetti Pink ink pads to add subtle shading to the individual flower pieces before assembling a sweet little bouquet, tied off with a delicate paper bow. Arranging the sentiment and the bouquet onto the layered ovals and adhering them with liquid adhesive brought all the elements together beautifully. Finally, a scattering of Rose Gold Pearl Pops of Color added just the right amount of shine to complete this elegant pastel creation. Trust me, Scrapbook.com's exclusive range makes achieving this level of detail and coordination an absolute dream!

Roger & Jessica Rabbits with Lawn Fawn

Hello crafty friends! Get ready to fall in love with this adorable handmade card inspired by the one and only Roger and Jessica Rabbit! I've been wanting to create this fandom-themed card for a while, and the playful charm of these adorable dies from Lawn Fawn just screamed "Roger Rabbit"! To create this card, I started by inking a 4 x 5.25 inch panel of brown cardstock through the Honey Bee Perfect Bricks background stencil using Fired Brick Distress Ink for a classic brick wall look. Then, using Lawn Fawn's Sunray Background stencil, I blended Crackling Campfire and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks, starting with the darker orange at the bottom and fading to the lighter yellow as the rays extended. 

For the sentiment, I die-cut "You make me laugh" from white cardstock using Lawn Fawn's Henry's ABCs Lawn Cuts and adhered it to the top of the brick and sunray panel, which I then attached to an A2 card base. The stars of the show, Roger and Jessica Rabbit, were brought to life using Lawn Fawn's Build-A-Bunny Lawn Cuts and Build-A-Bunny Accessories Lawn Cuts with various cardstock colors. Jessica got a glamorous sparkly red dress, while Roger sported red overalls and a blue bow tie jazzed up with yellow polka dots using a yellow Sharpie Creative Marker. Finally, I popped up these beloved characters onto the card using foam adhesive for added dimension. You can find all the supplies I used linked below – happy crafting!

Bouquet of Flowers for Mom with Cardstock Warehouse

Hello fellow crafters! Mother's Day is just around the corner, and I'm bursting with excitement to share a card that's both heartfelt and visually stunning. This project features a delicate spring blossom background and a vibrant floral bouquet, perfect for celebrating the amazing moms in our lives. I started with a piece of True White Speckletone cardstock, cut to an A2 size, and stenciled a soft spring blossom design using Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Picked Raspberry, and Rustic Wilderness. The subtle texture of the Speckletone paper really enhanced the inked effect, creating a dreamy backdrop. Then, the magic happened with Cardstock Warehouse papers! I used their gorgeous Azalea, Kunzite, and Vista Stardream cardstock for the die-cut Lawn Fawn flower bouquet wrap, Lovely Lily of the Valley, and Terrific Tulips dies, adding a touch of shimmer and luxury. I also incorporated Shades of Green cardstock and Kraft Speckletone for some earthy contrast, ensuring the flowers truly popped!

Assembling the flowers was a joy, and the Stardream papers were so easy to work with, giving the bouquet a dimensional and elegant feel. I adhered the completed bouquet, including a sweet little bow, to the stenciled panel, then attached it to an A2 card base. For the sentiment, I die-cut "mom" using the Pretty Pink Posh dies from Kraft Speckletone and Kunzite Stardream, creating a lovely layered look. Popping up the sentiment with foam tape added the perfect finishing touch. I can't express enough how much I adore Cardstock Warehouse papers! The quality and variety are simply unmatched, and they elevate any card project. If you're looking to add a touch of sophistication and brilliance to your handmade cards, you absolutely need to try their Stardream line. Happy crafting, and happy Mother's Day!
