Blessed Beyond Words

Today I'm playing at Cut it Up Challenge where this time it's Grateful Thankful Blessed! If you want to play along you better hurry because there's only a few days left!

I cut the Waffle Flower Cozy Icons dies from bright colorful solid cardstock, assembled them and then arranged them on an Inside / Outside Circle Die cut. The Cozy Icons set includes all the images you see on the card including the leaves, mushrooms, acorn, butterflies and even the coffee cup.

I liked the circle to create a focal point for the Grateful Heart Sentiment and to help ground the different elements like the coffee cup and little snail.

The background is a Tiny Diamonds cover plate that adds lots of texture and more color to your design when it's layered over a darker panel of cardstock.

That little pumpkin on the sleeve of the coffee cup is colored with makers and has me wanting a pumpkin spice Frappuccino! Oh the temptation! LOL!

My Creative Scrapbook November 2025 Main Kit

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern papers and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!

This time I'm playing with the Main Kit that includes 12" papers and embellishments from 49 and Market Mistletoe and Memories and Photoplay Unwrap The Holidays Collections. You'll also find die cuts, stickers, rub on's and lots more! Everything is hand selected with care and perfectly coordinated to work together and shipped directly to your door!

The papers are traditional red and green with some aqua blue for highlights. There are lots of neutrals and solids in the pack so you can use the rub ons and embellish as you like.

I used 3/4" journaling cards to create focal points and embellished them with die cut images. I like to adhere some flat to the card and add adhesive foam tape to others to make the card dimensional with some elements popped up.

The kit also comes with a sheet of tags that you can cut apart. I used some on my cards and the left overs are going into the stash for presents in December!

My cards always start the same way. I lay out all the different elements and select pieces that seem to coordinate or are proportioned for scenes. Like this card with the house, lamp and sweet snowman.

The best part is always embellishing. Start with a foundation like the poinsettia on this card. Add some foliage and a contrasting background to make the colorless branches pop!

The kit includes everything you need to make these cards. The only items I added were the card bases, solid cardstock papers, gems and adhesives.

I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

Sweet Wishes

Today I'm playing along at Make My Monday where this time it's all about birthday cards and please add at least one flower. That is an easy one since flowers are my favorite! This one is super sweet too!

These little honey bees from the Pink & Main Hey Honey! stamp set are sending you sweet birthday wishes! The set comes with the bee images as well as the florals and sentiment.

These were easy to stamp, color and cut! The best part is arranging! I love that little guy sitting cross legged on the flowers at the bottom!

Or is the little guy waving and holding the one bloom cuter? Ah heck! You decide! I love them both!

I hope you're smiling and you have a great day!

2025 Season Pass Fall/Holiday - November Edition

Hi Friends! I'm excited to share some cards made with the latest edition of the Layle By Mail Season Pass. The Season Pass 2.0... is a quarterly program/kit with exclusive products for memory keeping enthusiasts, including paper, die cuts, stickers & stamps. Perfect for traveler's notebooks, scrapbook pages, mini books, cards and more.

The kit includes 12 double sided papers 12x12", including a full sheet of monthly cut-apart cards in 3x4 and 4x6 sizes. You'll also receive an exclusive polymer stamp set, word strip sticker sheet, pre-printed die cut images and three rolls of washi tape in a reusable plastic mesh bag. The kit is available with (2) standard wide lined traveler’s notebook inserts (5" wide x 8.25" tall) or without. I'm a card maker so I opt to receive the kit without the notebooks.

From spooky October fun to the gratitude of November and the festive magic of December, everything in the Fall/Holiday Season Pass 2.0 is designed to help you capture the season’s most meaningful moments with ease and style. My focus today was creating four Fall/Thanksgiving themed cards.

Journaling card make great focal points for cards! Just embellish them with some of the die cut images or stack them like I did on my card below. The green plaid floral background is a large 4x6 card that I topped with a 3x4 card with a sentiment. The maple leaf is from another journaling card that I trimmed and then rounded the corners with a punch.

The trimmed maple leaf card is adhered with adhesive foam tape to add dimension and then topped with a "Fall" script sentiment. You can also fussy cut images from the journaling cards to add to your die cut stash.

The papers for fall include some beautiful florals that are perfectly color coordinated to match every element in the collection. You'll notice that the paper, die cuts and washi are beautiful together!

I love the iconic images like leaves, pinecones, and chrysanthemums in the set as well as the big sentiments and warm colors that leave you feeling comfy cozy. I incorporated some of the orange dot paper that I had left from my October cards made with this same kit and it blends in seamlessly.

You can add another layer of interest to your designs by adding word strip stickers and washi along seams where your prints meet.

Everything you need to make my cards is included in the kit. The only items I added are the card bases, solid cardstock matts and the adhesives to adhere them together.

I hope you'll give this kit a try! It's so convenient to have it delivered to my front door, ready to make! And all the elements inside will keep you making for three months of occasions!  I'm linking up to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge.

Round Stitched Bookmark

Today I've got something different to share! A stitched bookmark! I used to cross stitch all the time when I was younger. I confess that my eyes are just not as good as they used to be! I really wanted to try to make something with this die from Waffle Flower called the Stitchable Round Bookmark Die. I'm linking up to the Neglected Stuff Challenge because I have a box of cross stitch thread and honestly I can't even gander a guess at how old it is!

I followed the free pattern (keep reading for the link) but switched up the colors to use what I had on hand.

I selected the "You Are Loved" sentiment because you have to know you're loved if I spent the time it took stitching this for you LOL! Honestly it didn't take very long - probably about 3 hours, but still....

If you love this pattern, and want to try it yourself you can find it here FREE to download at Waffle Flower Crafts.

I added a plain pink Round Bookmark to cover the back side of the stitched piece and clean it up a bit. I got about 100 colorful tassels on Amazon for around $8 here.
