I AM REALLY ENJOYING CREATING MEMORY KEEPING PROJECTS EACH MONDAY

As I mentioned last week, returning to scrapbooking has been a long overdue papercrafting joy.

This week I have chosen one of the amazing new product suites that will be found in the forthcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue. So welcome to a week long sneak peek!

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is made up of two stamp sets and coordinating dies packs. There is also a gorgeous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack called Beautiful Gallery with 48 pages – 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. The collection also has a Damask Designs Embossing Folder, Pressed Flower Motifs embellishments and a roll of Basic Beige 3/8″ (1cm) Classic Ribbon.

For my scrapbooking page I used some of the DSP and the the Beautiful Motifs Dies from the soon to be available Suite Collection.

There are five dies in the pack. The three on the right only partially cut cardstock while the other two cut complete floral/foliage shapes.

When the three dies that only partially cut card they can reveal an different coloured card underneath.

For my scrapbooking page, I used the corner fleur de lis inspired die to create photo and journaling corners.

I used a Pretty Peacock 12″x 12″ sheet for the scrapbooking page and then added two of the damask inspired DSP sheets.

The Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set has a stunning damask image that I stamped, in Basic Gray, directly onto the page.

Then I cut and die cut the photo and journaling panels using the corner die. The die cut photo panel then had a slightly larger Basic Gray card panel adhered behind it.

I have added a 6″x 4″ piece of Basic White card to show you where the photo could be positioned.

I haven’t added a title for the page yet because I have yet to find the perfect photo for this page. Then, I will add some journaling to ensure the memory survives.

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FABULOUS FUN FOLD FRIDAY

This is my last project, featuring the Everyday Happiness DSP & Sticker Sheet pack, is a Fun Fold card.

The card is totally inspired by Jackie Bolhuis (Klompens Stampers). Thank you Jackie.

The card front panel had a panel of DSP adhered in place. Then I cut two of the elongated hexagonal shapes, from the Nested Essentials Dies, one in card and the other in DSP.

Before these two pieces were adhered together, I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine around the DSP piece and tied a bow.

This panel was then positioed halfway across the front flap.

The sentiment was stamped and adhered inside the card front.

Then I stamped some floral and leaf images on the card insert and envelope.

It has been an awesome week, especially after having enjoyed OnStage so much.

I’m not sure what I have for you next week … but, it may be some of the new goodies from the upcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TIME FOR SOME THURSDAY 3D FUN

I had three littl bottles of hair and body products sitting in my 3D project box and I knew this bundle of products would be perfect to make a gift box for each of them.

The Everyday You & Me Stamp Set was used for the greeting tag.

I really enjoy creating 3D projects to present sweet little gifts to firneds and family.

I love using Appelles products – the little bottle to the left is the shampoo that I use and it smells amazing.

The bottles fit into the box perfectly.

The tag was stamped and cut using one of the dies from the Nested Essentials Dies.

I used the Hole Punch Assortment pack, a new Online Exclusive Bundle, to punch a 1/8″ hole in the gift box lid. Then I looped a length of Baker’s Twine through the tag and fed the twive through the punched hole. I adhered a small square of the Wild Wheat inside the lid to hold the twine in place.

Tomorrow I have a Fun Fold Card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
