Kuranda
I recently shared some pages I created using Soda Pop Paper Packet & Stickers to showcase my husband’s birthday. When I created those pages, I actually cut two pieces of the paper to create the 1, 2, 3 Layout. So I had the remaining pieces to create the layout for todays pages. I attached the Soda Pop Designer Series Paper to White Willow 12″ x 12″ pages. I Basic White card using one of the Nested Essential Dies to create the banner for the title.
I did have to extend the die so that I could fit all the letters. I also cut Night of Navy card and Balmy Blue card using the same die to create two more banners. I layered the banners together before attaching the title which is cut from Night of Navy card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. I did attach Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card before die cutting to make it easier to attach the letters. I used a banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut Basic White, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue card. I layered the banners together before attaching them behind the bottom of the photo on the left hand page. On the right hand page, I attached the camera sticker from the Soda Pop Sitckers before attaching the photos so that the sticker sits slightly under the photo.
I stamped “picture perfect” from the retired Remember This stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I cut the greeting using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I attached the greeting to a slightly larger banner cut from Night of Navy card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also cut another Balmy Blue and Basic White banner using the same die. The banners are layered together, trimmed on the left hand edge and attached below the camera image. I stamped Basic White card using the line image from the retired Wildflower Celebrations stamp set using Smoky Slate ink. I cut out the lines using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped “the story” from the retired Love This Moment stamp set using Night of Navy ink. I wrote my journaling on the to Basic White circle before attaching it to the page using dimensionals. I die cut Basic White, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I layered the banners together before cutting them in half and attaching one half to behind each side of the journaling panel. Another page I am so happy with. These photos go back to 2010 so its really lovely to finally see them showcased.
Bye for now,

Coneflower Birthday
Today’s card was created using the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle. I made the card base 6″ x 6″ using White Willow 12″ x 12″ card. I attached a piece of Coastal Cabana card to the left hand side of the card front. I embossed a piece of Coastal Cabana card using the So Swirly Embossing Folder before attaching it across the card front. I embossed a piece of Basic White card using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder which I attached to the card front using dimensionals. I die cut Basic White card four times using the flower die from the Coneflower Celebration Dies.
I also cut four leaves, two of each die in the Coneflower Celebration Dies and also two flower centres all from Basic White. I used a Blending Brush to add Coastal Cabana ink to the flowers, Granny Apple Green to the leaves and Daffodil Delight to the flower centres. I attached two flowers together overlapping the petals to create two flowers. I attached the flower head and trimmed away the underneath flowers where necessary. I attached the leaves to the back of the flowers before attaching them to the card front. The lower flower is attached using dimensionals.
I stamped “happy birthday” from the Simply Said stamp set onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. I cut out the greeting using the larger banner from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals where necessary. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set onto Basic White card using Coastal Cabana ink. I attached the stamped panel to Coastal Cabana card and then to the inside of the card base. This card is along way out of my comfort zone and I am still not completely happy with the way it looks but it was a learning curve and gave me an excuse to play with this lovely bundle from the Annual Catalogue. I’d love to hear what you think.

I embossed the stamped panel using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
I stamped a piece of Balmy Blue card with the dotted image from the Stripes & Dots stamp set using Balmy Blue ink.

The whole embossed panel is attached to scored and folded Balmy Blue card. I stamped the cake image from the Along These Lines stamp set onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink.
I cut out the image using one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I cut Balmy Blue card with another of the Spotlight on Nature Dies and attached them together. I attached the image panel to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped a narrow strip of Balmy Blue card using the dotted image from the Stripes & Dots stamp set and Balmy Blue ink. I sponged the edges of the stamped panel using Balmy Blue ink before attaching the panel to the bottom of Basic White card. I love how pretty this card looks, don’t you?

Love This
Today I have the third layout from the Wildflower Birthday Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. I added some photos taken at my daughters birthday back in 2019. I completed the left hand page layout according to the guide. However, I did change up the right hand page slightly.
The layout shows two portrait 3″ x 4″ photos but I wanted to use one 3″ x 4″ and one 4″ x 3″ photo so I changed around the placement of the photos and embellishments.
I also printed my journaling onto the tag and stamped a sentiment from the retired Remember This stamp set before attaching it to the page. I love how this turned out and loved playing with the stickers and die cuts to make the layout my own.

Cape Tribulation
Today’s page came together much better than I thought it would. I used a piece of Botanical Textures 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and cut it using the 1, 2, 3 Layout from May’s Memory Keeping class. I attached the pieces to White Willow 12″ x 12″ Card. The leafy pattern on the outside edges of the page and the reverse pattern strips against the inner edges of the Designer Series Paper. The photos are attached to the pages without adding any mats. I stamped “magical moments” from the retired Snow Day stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut out the greeting using one of the Nested Essential Dies.

I printed the journaling onto Basic White card and cut it into strips which I attached below the title.
I was little apprehensive that the black designer series paper would be too much but I am so happy with the result. I hope you like it too.

Fancy Thinking of You
This week in my Facebook Live I shared some cards I created using the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and today I have another one to share. I followed the basic instructions that Patty Bennett shared on her blog to create my card, however, I did change the dimensions to fit our A4 card. I used Mossy Meadow card for the card base. I attached a piece of the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper to Basic Beige card which I attached to the front flap.
I stamped “thinking of you” from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set onto Basic Gray card using Mossy Meadow in. I cut out the greeting using one of the Textured Notes dies. I also cut Basic Beige card using two of the Beautiful Motifs Dies.
I attached the die cuts to the Designer Series Paper card front. I attached the greeting over the ends of the same cuts using dimensionals. I attached a piece of the same pattern Designer Series Paper to the right hand side of Basic White card. The Basic White panel is attached to the inside of the card base. I made sure that when I cut the patterned paper that the two pieces continued the pattern. Such a fun card to create and pretty easy really. You can see what Patty created here on her blog.

Trucking Birthday

I sponged the edges of pieces of Country Woods 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper using Early Espresso ink before attaching them to the inside of the card base and the front flap.
I used the piece I cut from the card base to stamp the truck image from the long retired Country Livin’ stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Light Basic Black, Light Smoky Slate, Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends to colour the image.

I stamped the boot image from the Country Livin’ stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of a piece of Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Dark Gray Granite and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. The Basic White card is cut to the same size as the front panel. I attached the Basic White card to Early Espresso card and attached it inside the card base so that it is hidden by the stamped panel on the card front. I know that I have used a retired stamp set but I just love how this turned out and it perfectly suits my Grandson.

‘P’ Plater
This page is ready for me to add a photo of my granddaughter on the day she gained her ‘p’ plates. I attached four different patterns from the retired Take to the Sky 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper to a White Willow 12″ x 12″ page. I tore the top edge of the lower three pieces of Designer Series Paper before attaching them to give a little more dimension. I layered a piece of Basic White card onto Night of Navy card before attaching it to the left hand side of the page. This is where my photo will go. I stamped the image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set twice onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. The images are cut out using the co-ordinating Gallery Blooms Die. I attached the flower images to the top left and bottom right of the photo mat using dimensionals so I can slide my photo underneath. I used the Party Alphabet Dies to cut out the letter “P” and the asterisks to go either side from Calypso Coral card. I cut “plater” from Basic White card using the Mini Alphabet Die. The letters are attached to the right hand side of the page. I used a Black Stampin’ Journaling Pen to write the date on Basic White card. I punched out the date using the Modern Oval Punch and tucked it under the top of the photo mats.
