OOPS – I MISSED MY MONDAY MEMORIES POST BUT HERE IT IS NOW.

I usually post a scrapbooking/memory keeping project on Mondays. Unfortunately, yesterday kind of got away from me.

My memory project today is a card.

This week I am featuring the Notes & Totes Bundle that you will find in the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue.

The Notes & Totes Bundle features a 12 piece photoploymer stamp set – 7 greetings and 5 images.

The coordinating dies are made up of 17 individual dies.

When I saw the tote bag dies and the new Secret Sea cardstock, I was reminded of a wonderful gift my niece gave me on her return from time in France on a student exchange experience – she gave me a navy Longchamp tote bag.

For this card, I decided to use all of the new 2025-2027 In Colours to create a card with five stacked tote bags.

The new In Colours are Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger.

Pecan Pie cardstock was perfect to create the handles, bag base and side features.

I used each of these colours to create the tote bags and stamp the hibiscus image on the Basic White card that I die cut into the scarves that are attached to each bag handle.

The greeting, from the Notes & Totes Stamp Set, is perfect for a special event card.

The card insert and back of the envelope each have a Strawberry Slush water bottle added.

My next post will be a technique based project.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 5th.

IT’S FRIDAY AND TIME FOR A FANTASTIC FUN FOLD

I shared part of this card on Tuesday as part of my technique share. Now I need to show you the rest of the card – the fun fold part of the card.

The technique I shared was all about using the rule of 3.

When the card is opened you discover that it is an easel card.

I used one of the new Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders to create the locking mechanism for the easel card.

When the card is fully opened you can see a Basic White panel for a personal message to be written. There is also a piece of DSP inside the card and on the envelope.

Next week I will have another new collection to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

THURSDAY IS THE DAY FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have a flip top box to share with you.

I made it to hold a couple of flower seed packets that I could then give as a gift.

I used Shy Shamrock card to create the gift box.

The floral DSP design was perfect for this project. I carefully measured and cut the DSP panels so that the design wrapped around the box and aligned well.

I used one of the new punches, from the Hole Punch Assortment pack, to punch a slit for the Strawberry Slush Faux Linen Ribbon that I used to close the box.

After stamping the greeting I used one of the dies from the soon to be retired Something Fancy Dies. It was secured over the ribbon with Stamppin’ Dimensionals.

Finally I added some of the Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls to the front of the box.

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
