Wood Words Scrapbook Pages

These are 2 of the scrapbook pages we made at class last month...

I just love designing these pages....  It's fun to use elements from cards and other ideas I see on Pinterest and try to incorporate them into Scrapbook Pages.

I like to start with either a suite of products or a pack of Designer Series Paper and let the inspiration come from there!

Can you guess which product suite I used on these pages??  Read on to learn about it!

We start our first page with a Whisper White base, then added a full sheet of Night of Navy cardstock to our page.  We also added a strip of the Burlap Ribbon along the bottom of our Night of Navy piece.

Next, we stamped some fun (Real Red) hearts along the side of our page using the Wood Words Stamp Set.  I love the texture that these hearts seem to have - kind of like they've been weathered a bit.

Burlap Ribbon  141487

Wood Words Stamp Set  143925/143928

Then, we die-cut our crate using the Wood Crate Framelits and a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.  I think these crates are just too cute!  And...  you can purchase the Wood Crate Framelits and Wood Words Stamp Set separately, or save 10% when you buy them in the bundle.

We stamped some pretty flowers on our Whisper White piece using the Daisy Delight Stamp Set.  First, we stamped the flower outlines in Crushed Curry Ink, then the color/wash inside the outlines in Daffodil Delight ink and then the stems in Old Olive Ink.

We also stamped "Farmer's Market" (from the Wood Words Stamp Set) in Night of Navy Ink and punched it out with a 1 1/4" Circle Punch.

The finishing touch is that cute Copper Trim bow :).

Here's a look at our next page....

This time we stamped some fun polka dots in Night of Navy ink (also from the Wood Words Stamp Set) on our Whisper White base, then added a full sheet of Real Red card stock to our page.

Next, check out this fun element on our 2nd page...

It almost looks like something you could put on top of a canning jar :).

First, we added a 1/2 sheet of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to the bottom of our page.

Next, we stamped that fun rooster and "Hello Friend" in Real Red ink.  Both images can be found in the Wood Words Stamp Set.  We die-cut our rooster with the Wood Crate Framelits and punched out our sentiment with the Classic Label Punch.

We also stamped those gorgeous flowers in Night of Navy ink (from the Wood Words Stamp Set) and die-cut this circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Then, we die-cut a Real Red scallop circle and a Night of Navy circle using the Layering Circle Framelits.  We layered all of this together and added it to a Delicate White Doily.

A couple of finishing touches complete our look...

-a bow tied with Linen Thread and a Brights (Real Red) Enamel Shape to hold it in place

-and a little strip of that super-cute Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon!

Stampin' Up! Carols of Christmas

Here's another gorgeous Holiday card for you today....

I can't tell you how much fun I've had playing with our Holiday Catalog product!  I just wish there were more hours in the day to craft!  Does anyone else feel like that??

Check out my latest video on how to make this card using our awesome Carols of Christmas Stamp Set and Card Front Builder Thinlits here...

We made this card (along with the 3 cards below it here) at a recent Inkspired Stampers Group Gathering.  This is a monthly meeting I hold for everyone on my team.  We always have so much fun crafting together!


Here's a look at each of the 3 other cards we made that night...


CASEd from Jennifer Hill

CASEd from Selene Kempton

I love that there are so many talented ladies that share their project ideas regularly on Pinterest and Facebook (see my CASEd cards above!).  I try to do that as much as possible as well!  It makes preparing for classes and events so much easier sometimes!
