Some people […]

Hey there y’all, I’m back with another watercolour card and I used the Chubby Chum stamp set from Paper Smooches again. I cut a 3×4 card using the stitched card die from Lawn Fawn and that die set comes with a banner and 5 little shapes, I used the stars with some glitter paper to […]
For today’s tutorial I thought I would combine it with one of our camp challenges and create a layout using only cardstock. But even “naked” you wanna look good so what better way to create a little interest than add a little ink! LOL!! You will need… Embossing folder and die cutting tool (big shot, […]
It’s Christmas in July baby!! Last card share started a bit of a watercoloring kick for me, I spent some time colouring all of my Chubby Chums two stamp sets from Paper Smooches. I use Distress Markers and a water brush pen. I went for a different card size this week too, this one […]

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Scrapbook Nerd Academy. I’m loving all the foil additions to the collection these days. It seems to be all about gold. However, if you’re like me, you’re wishing there were more silver. So, last week I decided to take matters in my own hands and got out my roll off […]
Welcome back friends, I dug deep into my stash for this weeks card share. With a old (but still fun) stamp called Swimsuit Stanley and and old embossing folder from Cuttlebug this relatively quick card came to life. The hardest part was the colouring. I am by no means a watercolour expert and yes I […]

The decorative strips are washi tape, Amy Tan – Rise & Shine collection. This is a bright fun card, perfect […]
Welcome back, My layouts this month started off a bit differently than usual, I don’t usually use white cardstock for my backgrounds you see. This first layout started with the idea to create some movement and energy to help me communicate the fun and playful nature of our dog Gracie, who loves to play […]
Today I’m sharing some not so secret ways for any paper crafter to make cards. Seriously! You can do this in 10 minutes or less. Not a stamper? No problem. Don’t own any dies or embossing folders? You don’t need to, not for these cards. Right now, YOU, have all that you need in your […]
Hey there crafty peeps, This week’s card share is all about gold and Craft Market. I’m still working my way through my Crate Paper Craft Market, in fact I just bought the cardstock stickers.

Woot Woot! It’s time for another Sunday Card Share crafty peeps. This week I went nerdy! Again I can’t get enough of the MFT Geek is Chic stamp set & matching glasses dies. The middle card design is not mine, I borrowed it from one of their design team members and it can be […]
Good morning Nerds!! Our challenge this month was to create layouts with bold titles and backgrounds. So I thought I’d give those starburst backgrounds a try. They always catch my eye and I think they are a brilliant way to use up scraps but to be honest..I thought there would be math involved and that […]
