Boo! Diamonds and Pumpkins for Halloween with Scrapbook.com

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

Today I am sharing a card for the SheetLoad Rewind hop that also fits perfectly into my monthly Halloween series on YouTube. I started with Scrapbook.com exclusives, using the Stitched Diagonal Diamond Block die and pattern papers from the Ancestry 12x12 paper pad. I die cut the diamond frame from the patterned paper, adhered it to an A2 card base, and then pieced some of the stitched diamonds back in to create contrast with lighter tones in the center. That patchwork effect gives the background so much texture before I even add a focal point.

For the focal element, I die cut a stitched circle from vellum and layered pumpkins and leaves from the Cottage Decorative die set, all cut from coordinating pattern papers. I added dimension and warmth by distressing the edges with Weeping Willow Stellar Ink and lightly dabbing Gold Rush Lunar Paste along the edges with my finger. I die cut the word “boo” from patterned paper using the Bold Letters dies, popped it up with thin foam adhesive, and stamped “hey there, pumpkin” from the Pumpkin Spice stamp set, die cut it, and adhered it onto the center of the O. A few Chocolate Kiss Pops of Color finished the card and balanced the darker browns across the top. Be sure to watch the embedded video to see this one come together step by step and hop along with the rest of the SheetLoad Rewind inspiration.

Lucky Shamrock Shaker Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Monday, February 23, 2026

Today's throwback card from my time with Pretty Pink Posh is for St. Patrick's Day! I used the Layered Shamrock Stencils on light grey cardstock and started with the (A) stencil and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. Then I inked the (B) stencil with Ripe Mango Cloud 9 Interference Ink. I added a little bit of gold watercolor splatter to really make the background shine.

When it was dry, I used the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out and layered it onto a green cardstock with foam adhesive that was adhered to an A2 card base. I made a shaker with the new Shamrock Shaker Dies, St. Patrick’s Day Mix, and Lucky Day Shaker Beads. After assembling the shaker onto the card, I also added a Hot Foil - Lucky sentiment with gold foil onto yellow cardstock and cut it with the Lucky Shadow Dies.

Pastel Rainbow Magic Shaker Card with The Sassy Club

Friday, February 20, 2026

Today I am sharing my card for the Oh So Inspired Collaboration Hop, and this month we were inspired by a beautiful pastel rainbow shaker card created by Tina from @cardsandcoffeetime. Since the hop landed on a Friday, I had to add my Fandom Friday twist using products from The Sassy Club. I stamped and colored my two sweet mice from the Happy Mouse and Sassy Mouse stamp sets, die cut them with their coordinating dies, and set them aside. For the background, I created a soft pastel rainbow blend using Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides. I overlapped the colors to create smooth transitions, then trimmed the panel to A2 size for the shaker backer.

To build the shaker, I die cut the stitched mouse frame from white cardstock and adhered acetate to the back using double sided adhesive. I added foam adhesive around the edges, then filled the center with Unicorn Shimmer Flakes, Rock Candy glitter, and clear seed beads before sealing it with my rainbow panel. I die cut the word “magic” using the Park Alpha Lowercase dies, layered the letters for dimension, and adhered each letter over small rainbow panels so the color continued across the sentiment. Finally, I added up my two mice with adhesive and attached the finished shaker panel to a top folding A2 card base. Be sure to watch the full hop and see how everyone else was inspired this month!

To My Peeps Easter Card with Trinity Stamps

Thursday, February 19, 2026

Today I am sharing a card for the Trinity Stamps design team YouTube Hop featuring the new release, and I had so much fun leaning into all the spring and Easter vibes. I used the new Peep Trio die set to cut three light pink peeps and layered them onto a darker pink trio base using thin foam adhesive. I added their little faces with black cardstock die cuts and my poke tool for placement. For the background, I used the diagonal die from Emergency Card Essentials Die Set #1 and ink blended Spun Sugar Distress Ink over a speckled white and gold pattern paper to create a soft pink trapezoid layer that peeks out behind the Peeps.

For the sentiment, I combined die cutting and stamping. I used the Graham Cracker Alphabet die set to spell out “my peeps” and turned the letters into stickers with adhesive sheets so I could easily line them up with my T square ruler. I felt like the card needed a little more balance, so I embossed a secondary sentiment from the Simply Sentimental Easter stamp set onto black cardstock using pink embossing powder. After trimming it with a rectangle die, I adhered it just above the die cut sentiment. I finished the card with Strawberry Twinkle Stardust rhinestones for extra sparkle and mounted everything onto a top folding white A2 card base. Be sure to watch the hop and check the description for details on the giveaway!

Bold Rainbows and Big Birthday Wishes with Emily Moore Designs

Tuesday, February 17, 2026

I started this card with a subtle yellow pattern from the Charming 6x8 pattern paper pad from Scrapbook.com. Using the Emily Moore Designs rainbows layered stencil set, I blended Spice Marmalade Distress Ink for the largest rainbow layer, Fossilized Amber for the middle layer, and Faded Jeans for the smallest layer. Once the stenciling was finished, I trimmed the panel to A2 size and set it aside. I die cut the largest rectangle from the Emily Moore Designs decorative sentiment die set out of vellum to create a soft layer that would let the rainbow background show through.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday Big and Bold die set from Emily Moore Designs. I die cut the word happy from a floral pattern paper and popped it onto the vellum with thin foam adhesive. I die cut the birthday shadow from a light blue floral pattern and the word birthday from a yellow and orange striped paper. Before cutting the birthday word, I ink blended Spice Marmalade onto the lower half of the paper to give it an ombré look. I glued the birthday word onto its shadow and added a small die cut heart as the dot on the i. I layered the birthday sentiment across the word happy, leaving space for an extra sentiment. I die cut a fishtail banner from the same striped paper, stamped the sentiment “I hope all your wishes come true” with Twilight Versafine Clair ink, and tucked it under the birthday. To finish the card, I glued the vellum panel onto the stenciled background, placing adhesive only behind the die cuts, and attached everything to an A2 card base.

Totally Awesome Toe Card with Trinity Stamps

Sunday, February 15, 2026

I created this card using Trinity Stamps products, starting with a white cardstock panel and the toe image from the Toe-tally Awesome Anatomically Adorable stamp set and coordinating die that is free with qualifying orders for February 2026. I stamped the toe image randomly across the panel using Acorn, Pinecone, and Sand Dune Versafine Clair inks until the background was filled. Once stamped, I used the angled rectangle die from Emergency Card Essentials #1 to cut a large trapezoid from the patterned panel. I then used the largest rectangle die from Emergency Card Essentials #2 to cut a base panel from kraft cardstock.

Next, I distressed the edges of both panels using a blending buddy and Tea Dye Distress Ink. On the stamped trapezoid, I added splatter by spraying water into Tea Dye ink and flicking it on with a paintbrush, then let it dry. I layered the stamped trapezoid onto the kraft panel and stamped the sentiment “you’re totally awesome” at a slight angle using Acorn Versafine Clair ink so it lined up along the left side. I stamped the large toe image again using a brown alcohol marker friendly ink, colored it with OLO markers, and die cut it with the coordinating die. I popped the toe up on the right side of the sentiment using thin foam adhesive. To finish the card, I added golden sparkle star confetti around the sentiment area, used a white gel pen to add highlights to the toe, and glued the completed panel onto an A2 card base.

A Time Spinner Shaker with Popsiclesticks

Friday, February 13, 2026

I had so much fun creating this interactive card for my Fandom Friday series using the Time Spinner stamp and die set from Popsiclesticks. I started by stamping the image in a very pale gray ink so I could color without harsh lines, then used warm yellow orange alcohol markers to give the spinner that golden glow. After coloring, I stamped the image again with clear embossing ink and heat embossed it in gold to add shine and definition. I die cut the spinner and created a shaker well by stacking multiple die cut layers together, adding acetate behind the opening, and filling one section with fine sand for a fun interactive element.

For the background, I kept things simple so the spinner could really shine. I ink blended a deep blue circle onto white cardstock and splattered it with metallic watercolor and white paint to create a starry effect. I turned the card base into a shaped circle card and layered the blue background and spinner on top. Inside the card, I stamped a few of the sentiments from the set to finish it off. This card was such a joy to build and I love how the sand shaker adds movement and texture to the design.
