A Set of Coffee Themed Cards - SheetLoad Rewind

Hi friends! Thanks so much for joining me in my craft room for another SheetLoad Rewind. This month, we’re revisiting the August 2022 sketch, and I had a lot of fun digging into my stash to bring it to life. I pulled out some older patterned papers from Stampin’ Up!, paired them with sentiments from Sassy’s LLC, and added in dies from Sizzix. I love that these rewinds not only give us a chance to reimagine older sketches, but also encourage us to use supplies we may have been holding onto for a while.

For my cards, I followed the sketch to cut down my patterned paper and cardstock, you can see the link to original sketch for dimensions in my video description on YouTube. To add texture, I ran my Kraft cardstock panel cardstock through the Tim Holtz 3D Woodgrain Texture Fade embossing folder, then lightly inked the raised areas with Tea Dye Distress Ink for extra depth. The main focal point of my cards is the Café Colorize Thinlits dies, which I cut and layered to create both to-go coffee cups and latte mugs. I kept my colors simple but added a bit of ink blending to bring out shadows and dimension in the pieces.

Once the cups were assembled, I layered everything onto my card panels, finishing with printed sentiment strips that I popped up with foam adhesive. I made 11 cards exactly to the sketch, and for my 12th card, I adapted the design slightly to work for a Craft Roulette project. To tie everything together, I added mint gloss Pops of Color for a little shine and balance. I had so much fun with these, and I love how the warm tones of the patterned paper pair with the cozy coffee cup dies. Be sure to check out my process video below to see one of the cards come together from start to finish!

One Cute & One Sassy Christmas Cards with Emergency Card Kit 12 from Sassy's LLC

Hi friends! Thanks for joining me for a Christmas on the 24th project. Today I’m sharing two cards I created using the Emergency Card Kit Volume 12 from Sassy LLC. Since I don’t currently have a color printer, I had fun experimenting by printing some of the bonus elements directly onto patterned paper. I love how this gave me a fresh way to showcase the playful designs, like the cheeky “ho, ho, ho” sentiment and the tree panel that I paper pieced from pink patterned cardstock. I also added some soft ink blending, splatter details, and a bit of fussy cutting to bring each panel to life before layering everything according to the kit’s sketch.

For the first card, I let the bold “ho, ho, ho” panel shine on snowy blue patterned paper, pairing it with strips of starry patterned paper and foam-dimensioned layers to really make the sentiment pop. The second card features the paper-pieced tree, grounded with a bit of ink blending and framed with pastel gray panels inspired by the kit’s sketch. To finish, I added gold and white splatter, then popped up the elements with foam adhesive for extra depth. The playful mix of soft colors and bold details makes each card unique while still keeping a cohesive look between them.

I had so much fun creating these two cards with Kit 12 — the mix of printed elements, soft gray layers, and sassy sentiments make for quick but impactful holiday cards. And just a little note: I’ve moved my Christmas card series to the 24th of the month instead of the 25th. That’s because I’ll be sharing SheetLoad Rewind on the 25th, and I also want to give myself the flexibility to make more than just Christmas cards each month.

Scram! My Favorite Grouch with The Sassy Club

It’s time for another Sassy Saturday, and today I’m sharing a card I created with products from The Sassy Club! For this card, I pulled out the Grouchy stamp set and stamped my little character in Onyx Black ink. I colored him up with my Olo markers—green fur with orangey-red brows, plus a gray and slightly rusted trash can for extra detail. After fussy cutting the image, I added white gel pen highlights to bring him to life. For the background, I started with white cardstock and blended on Peeled Paint and Forest Moss distress inks. To add more texture, I smooshed Forest Moss distress oxide onto my glass mat, spritzed with water, and used a piece of acetate to transfer the ink onto the panel for a fun organic look.

Once that dried, I die cut the two larger shapes from the Comic Circles die set and inked the edges with more Forest Moss. I also splattered on Forest Moss ink, white paint, and a touch of black luster for added depth. For my base, I trimmed down black cardstock to 4" x 5.25" and rounded the corners with a scallop punch, doing the same to my A2 card base for a cohesive look. I layered the die cut circles, then popped up my grouchy character with thin foam adhesive in the center. The “scram” sentiment was die cut from white cardstock with the Fun House Alpha dies, and I added shine with a black glaze pen. To finish, I stamped “You are my favorite grouch” on a banner die cut and placed it at the bottom to balance the design. A few drops of Black Magic Glitter Pops of Color finished everything off with sparkle and dimension.

Happy Place Fandom Mini Slimline Box Card with Popsiclesticks

Hi friends, it’s Lauren! I’m back with another Fandom Friday project, and this week I’m sharing a really fun mini slimline box card made with Popsiclesticks products. I’ve had a pile of pre-colored and fussy-cut images from the Happy Day and Park Hoppers stamp sets sitting on my desk since Paperganza, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally put them to use. A viewer recently mentioned they missed my box cards, and honestly—same! So this week I dusted off my Popsiclesticks Mini Slimline Box Card Die Set and got to work.

For the structure of the box, I used some neutral gray cardstock and then layered in pastel patterned papers from an older stash pad to balance against the bright and bold images. I love how the softer background lets the colorful characters and theme park details shine without feeling too busy. I also used the Popsiclesticks Border Dies to add some wavy patterned pieces inside the box, creating little “steps” where all the stamped images could pop up. Once everything was assembled, the scene started to come together like a little diorama of a day at the park.

I added my entrance sign, pennant flags, snacks, balloons, and of course the adorable park hoppers to really fill the box card. A few highlights with a white gel pen and some scattered confetti elements made the whole scene feel even more magical. For the front strip, I stamped the sentiment “My happy place is with you” on a white banner and tucked in some sweet little ears and heart hands to frame it. I adore how playful this card feels, and I can’t decide which detail is my favorite—the pineapple whip, the backpack, or maybe the balloons! Check out the video below to see exactly how I built this box card step by step.

Stay Fierce Jungle Tiger Card with Simon Hurley create.

For today’s card, I’m featuring the brand-new release from Simon Hurley create. and Ranger Ink, and I had so much fun mixing inks, sprays, and pastes to build a bold focal panel. I started with an A2 piece of Stark White Cardstock and masked off a diagonal strip. Using my Simon Hurley blending brush, I blended Later Gator Stellar Ink over the open area, then misted it lightly with Twin Flame Solar Spray for shimmer. Once that was dry, I laid down the Intertwined Stencil and spread Jaded Neon Lunar Paste across it, creating a bold textured pattern. With the stenciling complete, I carefully removed the masking tape and set the panel aside to dry fully.

Next, I stamped and fussy cut a few leaves from the Tropical Flora Peel Apart Rubber Background Stamp in Later Gator Stellar Ink to coordinate with my background. For my focal point, I stamped the layered tiger from Wild About You: first with Guppy Stellar Ink for the base, then with Black Widow Stellar Ink for the stripes. I die cut the tiger, then arranged the stamped leaves across the diagonal section of the panel, trimming any overhang. I adhered the tiger with foam adhesive so it pops off the card, stamped the sentiment “Stay Fierce” in Black Widow Stellar Ink, and finished with some black glittery embellishments from my stash. The mix of texture, shine, and dimension really makes this wild design come to life!

Wishing You Sunny Days Floral Card with Scrapbook.com

Today I’m sharing a sunflower-inspired floral card using some beautiful exclusive products from Scrapbook.com. I wanted to capture that transition between summer and fall, so I pulled out the Ginghams A2 patterned paper pad and combined it with the new Sunflowers stamp set. The mustard yellow and warm brown gingham patterns created the perfect cozy backdrop. I stamped and watercolored a sunflower floral cluster on vanilla cardstock, then carefully fussy cut the image since I don’t yet have the coordinating dies. For extra depth, I layered a scalloped frame, added soft ink blending at the bottom of the back panel, and finished it with splatters of white and chocolate shimmer for a mixed-media touch.

To complete the design, I stamped the sentiment “Wishing You Sunny Days” and popped up the scalloped frame with foam adhesive for dimension. The sunflowers sit toward the top of the frame, bringing all the warm colors together, and I finished the card with pops of Lemon Chiffon for a final burst of yellow. The end result feels like a cheerful nod to late summer turning into early fall, full of golden tones and a cozy handmade charm. Be sure to check out the process video below for a closer look at how everything came together!

You Are The Best Halloween Card with Emily Moore Designs

It’s time for another Oh So Inspired Collaboration hop, and this month we’re taking inspiration from Linh at LV Handcrafted! I was drawn to a project she made featuring a ribbon-style design that looked like a ribbon award. I loved the layered banners and circle detail, so I used products from Emily Moore Designs along with some patterned paper to create my own take on her beautiful project. The result is a playful layered design full of dimension, color, and a touch of shimmer.

For my version, I combined die cuts, patterned papers, and a stamped sentiment to form the ribbon shape as my focal point. I built up the background with a mix of layers, then added banners, an oval frame, and fussy-cut images to complete the look. The final touches included embossing my sentiment, splattering some shimmer across one of the layers, and finishing with sequins for extra sparkle. You can watch the full process in the video below and be sure to check out the hop playlist to see how all my crafty friends were inspired, too!

Spooky Wishes Shaker Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Today I’m sharing a spooky-fun Halloween shaker card using products from Pretty Pink Posh! I started with an A2 lavender panel and splattered it with Hickory Smoke Distress Spritz for texture. Over the top, I layered a black spiderweb die cut to give it a bold, spooky background and adhered it to a card base. For the sentiment, I stamped and embossed “Spooky Wishes” in white on black cardstock, then die cut two more layers from scraps. Stacking all three together gave me a sturdy, chipboard-like piece that I attached to the bottom right corner of the card.

The star of the card is the shaker spider! I die cut the spider once from plain black cardstock, then again from black glitter cardstock with the inner frame cut to create the shaker window. Behind the window, I added a piece of acetate cut into an oval shape to fit perfectly. I built up the shaker with 3mm black foam adhesive, filled it with Spellbound shaker beads, and sealed it all together. For a fun pop of color, I cut the spider’s face from lime green cardstock and glued it on before adhering the shaker spider to the card front. The combination of sparkle, dimension, and creepy-cute details makes this card perfect for Halloween!

Sending You Sweet Thoughts with Trinity Stamps

For today's card, I created a fun and sweet shaker card for Trinity Stamps that also fits the prompts from Craft Roulette Episode 280. I started by cutting my card base using the Trinity Stamps Arch Shaped Card Die Set. From there, I layered three arch panels: a blue piece, a teal piece, and a yellow star-patterned piece, all from Scrapbook.com’s Birthday 6x8 Paper Pad. For the focal point, I stamped the candy jar from the Candy Jar stamp set twice with Bali Blue ink, along with several little candies in a mix of bright ink colors in greens and blue. Using the coordinating coloring stencils, I blended Stellar Inks, giving depth and detail to both jars and the candies. After die cutting, I turned the jars into a shaker using acetate, foam strips, and the Shimmer Stars confetti mix from Trinity Stamps, along with the die-cut candy pieces glued inside for extra detail.

To complete the card, I die cut the word “sweet” using the Modern Embossed Alphabet die set. At first, I layered teal letters on the base of the card, but to make the sentiment pop, I added another layer cut from green star-patterned paper with a slight ink-blended shadow. I then stamped and fussy cut “sending you” and “thoughts,” arranging them around the candy jar so the card reads “Sending you sweet thoughts.” Finally, I adhered all the layers to my shaped card base and finished with a few transparent sparkle enamel dots to add shine. The end result is a bright and cheerful 5x7 card featuring a playful shaker element that’s full of sweetness and fun.
