ScrapbookCircle_bloggraphic

Happy Monday!! Welcome to a fun blog hop by Top Dog Dies& Scrapbook Circle! We are super excited that you are hopping along with us. If you are following the hop order, you probably came from Stacey Schafer’s Blog. I am so excited you are here!

If you have been a subscriber of my blog, you know I love dies from Top Dog Dies and I was really excited to play with Scrapbook Circle’s amazing kit along with those dies. If you haven’t heard of Scrapbook Circle, make sure to check it out!

I love their mission: “At Scrapbook Circle we are passionate about preserving our family memories. We love sharing daily inspiration and connecting with others who also love to create.

Don’t you agree with what they have to say? I also have a discount code and a fun giveaway info on the bottom of this post, so make sure to scroll down to get them! Alright, so let’s start with the project I created for today!

TDD - 20140421-1

I wanted to share a clean, simple, and easy card that can WOW your recipient. Bold, rich colors will entertain the eyes of the recipient! I used few elements from the Bucket List: April Kit by Scrapbook Circle. Different patterned papers and letter stickers were so much fun to work with. As you can see, the background paper has bright, bold and rich color so you can get a nice color effect for the whole card without putting a lot of effort.

TDD - 20140421-2

I adore these cute mini butterflies that are part of the Butterfly Finishers Die Set by Top Dog Dies. Check out the outlined cut out parts of each butterfly – By simply folding them in, you can create a fun 3D look that makes these butterflies look alive. I chose softer colored papers from the kit mentioned above to cut out these cute butterflies and adhere them using 3D foam dots. I really love the fact that the dies cut so clean and crisp, which is one thing that I really enjoy about TDD.

For a part of the sentiment, I used the letter sticker that was included in the kit. Since the background paper is super busy, I added a strip of white cardstock and adhere letters to it to help them stand out better. This is my favorite trick to use when using letter stickers on cards. They to help out tremendously.

    May the new year is a much brighter and happier one for all of us- Happy New Year 💕 
#scrapsandstamps #alcoholink #2021 #newyear #altenew
    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❤️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew 💕 sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! 🥰🥰 #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
