Up House Inspired Birthday Card with Scrapbook.com

Hi, friends! I’ve got a fun project to share that started as a simple idea and turned into a delightful fandom-inspired creation. Using some exclusive products from Scrapbook.com, I designed an "Up"-themed birthday card that’s colorful, whimsical, and full of charm. I didn’t set out to make a fandom card, but as I looked through my supplies, the idea of the iconic floating house popped into my head, and I just had to roll with it! From the pastel glossy cardstock to the ombre paper pad, every detail came together to create something playful and unique.

I used the Mini Christmas Village die set to craft the house, cutting it from multiple pastel shades to layer and create a patchwork look. To add texture, I paired the Brick A2 Cover Plate with that gorgeous ombre rainbow paper for the background. The balloons, stamped and die-cut from the Whale Hello set, tied the theme together, while little stitched clouds added depth to the scene. I had fun experimenting with my scissors and paper cutter to make everything fit just right—wonky and uneven was the goal for this design! To finish, I stamped a wavy sentiment that says, “Have an awesome birthday,” and added some pops of sparkle for a touch of shine. For more details, tips, and behind-the-scenes tricks, check out my full video on YouTube. I hope it inspires you to try something new in your crafting adventures!

Love You Deeply Light Up Card with Trinity Stamps

Hello, crafting friends! Today, I’m sharing a super fun and interactive card I made featuring an adorable angler fish that actually lights up. This project was a blast to create, and it’s perfect for showcasing some fantastic supplies, including the Pear Blossom Press One Light and Trinity Stamps’ Little Light Stamp and Die Sets. I started by stamping and coloring the angler fish using my trusty OLO markers, then used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped and die-cut the sentiment and interactive phrase to bring the whole design together.

For the underwater scene, I stamped Trinity Stamps’ Underwater Scene Background Stamp and heat-embossed it with Inkon3’s Arctic White Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. Using Trinity Stamps’ A-2 Foundations Stencil Set, I created a white frame and blended Salvaged Patina, Uncharted Mariner, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks to set the underwater mood. To add extra texture, I splattered some Gansai Tambi Watercolor Graphite Colors over the background. After punching a small hole for the One Light, I adhered it to the card base and layered the stenciled panel on top using Pear Blossom Press’ foam tape. Finally, I glued the angler fish and sentiments in place, then sprinkled on some Ultramarine Sparkle Spots embellishments for a magical finishing touch. I’m so excited with how it turned out, and I hope this inspires you to create your own interactive cards!

Over the Moon Fandom Box Card with The Sassy Club

Hi, friends! Welcome back for another Fandom Friday project. Today, I’m sharing a fun and dimensional project using the adorable Robot Love clear stamps from The Sassy Club. These cute little robots stole my heart, and I knew they’d be perfect for a Valentine’s Day-themed box card. Pairing them with a galaxy-themed paper—the starry backgrounds add the perfect touch for this out-of-this-world design.

I started by stamping and coloring my robot images using Olo Markers. For my "trash compactor" robot, I went with a dirty yellow color palette for a slightly rustic look, and for my "girl robot," I chose cool gray shades to highlight her sleek, futuristic vibe. To achieve a cohesive yet detailed look, I used stippling techniques, blended shadows, and carefully layered colors. If you'd like to see the full coloring process, including the exact marker shades and tips for adding texture, be sure to check out my YouTube video linked below!

Once my images were ready, I assembled the box card using The Sassy Club’s box card die set. I added patterned paper panels for an outer space look, including a fun moon detail and floating acetate strips to make the robots appear as if they’re hovering in space. The sentiment "Over the Moon for You" ties the entire scene together on the front, while the back features "My Love for You is Out of This World." It’s the perfect card for Valentine’s Day or any occasion when you want to send some intergalactic love. Don’t forget to check out my Instagram later today for the Fandom Friday Hop—I can’t wait to see how my crafty friends interpret this month’s theme of refresh!

Merry Wishes Penguin Shaker Card with Pretty Pink Posh

I’m so excited to share a fun wintery interactive card with you today, featuring some of my favorite stamps - the adorable Penguin Pals Stamp Set. For this card, I’m combining a layered snowflake stencil background with a shaker element and some cute penguins making snow angels. To start, I created a soft, snowy background using the Pierced Snowflakes Die on light blue cardstock. For the stenciling, I used three layers: first, a soft blue (Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide), then a darker blue (Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide), and finally, a pop of green (Twisted Citron Distress Oxide) inspired by the Evergreen State Shaker Beads I planned to use in my shaker. The combination of tones in the snowflakes looks so beautiful and wintery, and adding some white splatters with opaque watercolor really made the background feel like a snowy scene.

Next, I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set and colored them with my Olo markers. I kept their color scheme simple, using warm grays for their bodies and bright yellow-orange for their beaks and feet. To tie in with the background, I gave each penguin a colorful scarf in shades of blue and green. After cutting them out with the Penguin Pals Coordinating Dies, I started planning my card layout, placing the penguins around my embossed sentiment on a shimmery blue label cut from the Easter Sentiments Coordinating Dies. To turn this card into a shaker, I used a frame from the Fancy Cake Dies and added acetate to the back. I carefully applied foam adhesive to create a space for the shaker elements, making sure there were no gaps where the beads and confetti could fall out.

For the shaker filling, I used a mix of Evergreen State Shaker Beads, Blue Shimmer Confetti Mix, and Aqua Shimmer Confetti Mix, which added lots of sparkle and movement to the design. Once everything was securely in place, I attached the shaker to a top-folding A2 card base. I couldn’t resist adding the adorable penguins around the sentiment, making it feel extra festive and full of winter cheer. I absolutely love how this card turned out—it’s fun and full of sparkle without being overly glittery. I hope this tutorial inspires you to create your own shaker cards this new year season, and if you love penguins as much as I do, this stamp set is a must-have! Thanks for stopping by, and I can't wait to share more creative inspiration with you soon!

Pretty Insects Birthday Cards with Spellbinders January 2025 Clubs

Hi friends! I’m so excited to share a couple of card ideas using the January 2025 club kits from Spellbinders. This month’s kits are packed with beautiful products and designs that will inspire your creativity. From the intricate Glimmer Hot Foil Plate of the Month to the Clear Stamp and Die Set, there’s something for every card maker to enjoy. For my first card, I combined elements like the BetterPress, Glimmer Hot Foil, Aura Glimmer Foil, and the Clear Stamp Set to create a unique "ZoyFold" card. This design blends a Z-fold with a joyfold, offering a creative twist for a fun and interactive card structure.

To match the Craft Roulette challenge theme of elegance, I chose a soft color palette featuring blues, oranges, and florals. I used a charming patterned paper pad and enhanced the design with hot foiling for the "front door" of my ZoyFold card. Tiny magnets help keep the card securely closed, adding both functionality and a bit of hidden charm. I incorporated additional details like the BetterPress butterfly, which I watercolored in coordinating hues, and layered the die cut sentiment to give the card extra dimension. I love how the combination of elegant blues and warm orange accents turned out—it’s a perfect balance of subtle and striking!

For my second card, I highlighted the Small Die and Stencil of the Month kits. Using a blend of Pinkfresh Studio inks and Simon Hurley Astro Paste, I created a vibrant floral background with layered stencils. The centerpiece of the card is a delicate dragonfly with pearlescent vellum wings and metallic gold accents, paired with a bold "Hello" sentiment. This card captures a different kind of elegance, with rich purples and golds complementing the intricate floral details. I hope you’re as inspired by these designs as I was creating them! Let me know in the comments if you’d like a closer look at using magnets in your cards, and don’t forget to check out my live video for even more ideas. Happy crafting, friends!

Boy You're Getting Old Fandom Birthday Card

One of my favorite things about card making is the way it allows me to bring little scenes to life on paper. This week, I found myself inspired by a rustic countryside theme, and I couldn’t wait to use the Farmland background stamp from Hello Bluebird and the adorable Rooster stamp set from The Sassy Club. With my trusty Blackout Ink from InkOn3, Olo markers, and Onyx Black Versafine ink pad, I set out to create a charming farmyard card. Wishing all my friends a happy Sassy Saturday as I dive into this fun project!

To start, I stamped the Farmland background with Blackout Ink and brought the scene to life by coloring it with my Olo markers. The rich, vibrant hues made the rolling fields and barn pop beautifully. After trimming the background down to 4” x 5-1/4”, I glued it onto the center of an A2 card base. Next, I turned to the stars of the show—the rooster and other cute, cranky bird from the stamp set. After stamping and coloring them in, I carefully fussy cut each piece, along with the sentiment, which I stamped in Onyx Black. Finally, I used foam adhesive to arrange the elements on the card, giving the scene dimension and a playful touch. I love how the finished card turned out; it’s a perfect slice of country charm! If you’re inspired to give this a try, I’d love to see your creations—happy crafting and happy Sassy Saturday!
