Make a Wish

 Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds Online store - make sure to come and join us in their Facebook group for daily inspiration, weekly challenges and giveaways from the amazing owner Joy!

Today I used inspiration from the TGIF Challenge #TGIFC310

 

I used  Flirty Flamingo cardstock as my base and than using the Pinkfresh Studio Slim Stitched Rectangle dies to layer with Pool Party, Blushing Bride and Whisper White cardstock from Stampin' Up!. 

 

Using this adorable little Doodlebug Make a Wish sticker set I mounted the cake on the one side and added some rhinestone 'bling' to it by colouring the clear rhinestones with a Flirty Flamingo blends marker.

I chose a Happy Birthday sentiment from the All about You stamp and die bundle from My Favorite Things. And die cut out the You in Pool Party. 

 

I finished off the it off with some turquoise bakers twine and some additional rhinestones tinted with the Flirty Flamingo Blends marker!  

This is going to make a perfect card for my granddaughter's 1st birthday next week! Cannot believe it has been a YEAR already and Covid is still poo pooing on celebrations for her!

Happy Stampin'

Let's Snuggle!

 Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends over on Facebook! 

Today I am playing with a Slimline card design! The Pinkfresh Studio Essentials makes a great starter die for slimline cards! 

 

I just love the larger work surface for designing with on the slimline card! 

I again chose paper from the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pack from Doodlebug Design Inc! This paper stack is SO CUTE and great for winter birthdays and Valentines alike! 

 The little Bingo card paper is perfect for these little square accents! I chose the Let's Snuggle and Hot Cocoa weather squares and than the back side squares that spelled S N W that I wouldn't use!

 I also love the Winter Wonderland Odds and Ends Snowflake from the Doodlebug Design Inc!

 You get so many adorable little snowflakes and accent pieces in the package - amazing value!! I love that there is a mix of texture too from paper to acetate designs! The snowflakes added a perfect added pop to my squares!

 Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends over on Facebook with another offering in the Winter Wonderland Collection from Doodlebug Design Inc.

 For my background I chose a retired embossing folder Happy Hearts from Stampin' Up! and Wink of Stella to give the background a subtle pop of glitter and shine.

I paired the embossed cardstock with a torn edge piece from the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pack from Doodlebug Design Inc! Such a versatile pack of paper to get you through the winter months!!!

 

 Overall it came together into a cute little Valentine for a loved one!

Back to show some more love of the Winter Wonderland Collection from Doodlebug Designs Inc. 

 

 

 

This card makes use of the Winter Wonderland Sticker Icons - these are so stinking cute and you get SO MANY - perfect for making quick cards or scrapbook layouts!

The Winter Wonderland Chit Chat from Doodlebugs - again look at all the wording goodies for making both cards and scrapbook layouts!

Walking in the Winter Wonderland

 Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends over on Facebook! 

To get my inspiration started I used a #TGIFC299 card inspiration for this week - which is use a background!

For my background I chose a retired embossing folder Happy Hearts from Stampin' Up! and Wink of Stella to give the background a subtle pop of glitter and shine!

 Just love Wink of Stella - subtle but stunning!

 

Than for my accent papers I chose the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pack from Doodlebug Design Inc! This paper stack is SO CUTE and great for winter birthdays and Valentines alike!

I punched out the heart from the paper with my Dual Hearts punch and created a banner with the triple banner punch from Stampin' Up!

For my sentiment I stamped the Love U from Altenew set called Hug Me.

Quick and Simple Christmas card!

 Designing today for the Scrapbook Nerds & Friends over on Facebook and I think I found a new addiction - Doodlebug Designs!

The whole line of everything is just ADORABLE!!!!

I loved the little Mrs. Claus and paired her with some shape sprinkles and the Concord and 9th Seasons of Cheer sentiment dies! Also got to play with my Pink Fresh Studios Slim line Stitched Rectangles Essentials dies

 

The Slim line stitched rectangle dies are just so fun - a staple for every crafter!

The Concord and 9th Seasons of Cheers is going to make a lot of fun cards!

Together they helped to make a quick and easy yet, in my humble opinion, a totally adorable holiday card in less than 5 minutes!

Happy Stampin'
