World of Good Scrapbook Page

Scrapbooking is something I haven’t done for quite a few years as life just seems to get in the way. Now we are all having more time at home I’ve decided to pull out my old photos and relive some old memories while we wait to make some new ones.

I’ve always thought scrapbooking had to be super complicated with many layers of paper and endless embellishments, but the real focus should be on capturing those memories and higlighting the photos.

The Stampin’ Up! Suites make the super easy as everything coordinates making those pages come together easily. I love the patterns in the World of Good Speciality Designer Paper can work for many occassions, this is not a travel photo just a simple garden shot.

The background is a 6″ x 8″ (15.2cm x 20.3cm) piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock on which  I stamped the compass stamp in Versamark all over to create a background, alternativley you could use the similar designer paper sheet if you don’t have the Beautiful World stamp set. I mounted my photo with an Early Espresso matt and added a strip of the green world paper to the left hand side of the page.

I use the Tailered Tag punch to cut out three labels and the stamped Adventure Awaits of one of the labels from the World of Good Memories and More pack. I added a compass stick to the top right hand corner with a Misty Moonlight Enamel Dot in the centre just to pull the colour throughout the layout.

This was super simple to create, my only problem now is do I place the page in my album or do I frame it and hang it on the wall.

Todays Tiles Card Trio

I love how the stamps in the Todays Tiles set create intricate looking patterns which look like they’ve taken ages to stamp but in reality took just seconds. The trick with this stamp set is to use the Stamp-a-ratus to line up the stamps and then you will get perfect alighment everytime.

Todays Tiles Moonlight Card 1

I cut my Whisper White cardstock to fit the Stamp-a-ratus and then stamped a row of the base tiles in Seaside Spray. You can fit three blocks of stamped tiles on the Stamp-a-ratus if you start right near the right hand-side and then move two spaces across or down depending on which way you’ve lined up the stamp. I needed four blocks for these cards so did a second set of stamping on more cardstock.

Todays Tiles Moonlight card 2

After stamping the Seaside Spray layer I kept the stamp on the Stamp-a-ratus for my second batch of stamping but turned it over to add the detail stamp. Take time here to make sure you’ve lined up your stamp correctly and ensure the magnets have a firm hold on your paper as the slightnest nudge can throw the design off. I’ve stamped my detailed layer in Blackberry Bliss so it really stands out.

Todays Tiles Moonlight Card 3

I’ve used Misty Moonlight as a complimentary colour for these cards and used Blackberry Bliss for stamping the sentiments. Two of the sentiments were stamped onto dies from the Field Tiles die set which can be bought in a bundle with the Today’s Tiles stamp set.

I love how simple these cards were to create and look forward to playing with more colour combinations and designs soon.

Comfort & Hope Card

Today I’m sharing a card made with the Comfort & Hope stamp set, this is a great stamp set for adding little touches on cards as the images are all different textures and elements.  My favourite stamp has to be the loops, I was a big fan of the Metallic Thread we used to carry but could never get my loops to look right, now I can just add this stamp onto the card.

Comfort & Hope Close Up

To add some three dimensional texture I added one of the leaf flourishes from the Forever Flourishing Dies. I cut the leaves out of the Soft Sea Foam Velveteen paper, word of warning this stuff attracts dust like crazy some keep it wrapped up! To highlight the texture on the leaves I added a touch of Just Jade ink using a sponge duaber.

To finish the card I added the greeting Comfort and Hope stamped on a label of Mint Macaron cut from the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.

Thanks for popping by.

Pootlers New Catalogue Blog Hop

Today I’m hopping again with my fellow Pootlers to share with you some of our favourite things from the new catalogue. So when you’ve had a look at my project please follow the links at the bottom to see the rest of the projects.

Pootlers Blog Hop Sneak Peak

One of my favourite things in the new catalogue is the the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch , this is a great investment to your crafting supplies as it can make six different labels in one punch, how great is that!

This great punch is also available as a bundle with the Lovely You stamp set, which is the perfect mix of florals and sentiments, a winning combination in my book.

Pootlers Blog Hop Card 1

The punch creates labels which are 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ wide with two different edges, I’ve only used one edge in my projects today but have used all three widths. This first card also shows one of the new In-Colours, Magenta Madness. This is a bright pink and sadly my photos today don’t show it too well.  The colours I’ve paired it with are Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay which I think work great with Magenta Madness.

Pootlers Blog Hop Card 2

This card shows all three sizes of the Lovely Labels Punch. You can also see one of the patterns from the new In-Colour DSP stacks and more Magenta Madness products with the 2020-2022 In-Colour Enamel Dots and some Twill Ribbon which is so soft.

Pootles Blog Hop

Here’s both cards together, I can see both the punch and stamp set being used loads.

Pedal to the Metal Birthday Cards

Male cards are something I have always struggled with, especially teenage males which makes the the Pedal to the Metal stamp set the perfect choice. This stamp set has some great images for males of any age.

Motercycle Card

For these cards I  used Blueberry Bushell and Call Me Clover before they go in the retired products cupboard. I’ve matched Blueberry Bushell with the Motorbike and Call Me Clover with the Gator as its the perfect “John Deere” Green.

Gator Birthday Card

The Happy Birthday greeting comes from the Bonanza Buddies stamp set which is also retiring and the stars are from the Family Party stamp set. I love the background I created with the tyre tracks and stars, perfect for teenagers.
