Christmas scrapbooking made simple

With the launch of Stampin’ Up!®’s new Scrapbooking Brochure, scrapping is very much back on the menu in this house and, very soon I hope, on my class schedule too. The new product range makes scrapbooking really simple.

The launch of the new Stampin’ Up!® range could not have come at a better time for me because the arrival of two great-nieces and a great-nephew is giving me ample photo opportunities.

I have a year of great-niece Lily to scrapbook so I’m starting there, and wanted to show you how this can be achieved very easily with just a few products.

For this double-page spread I used some Crumb Cake 12"x12" cardstock from my stash, along with A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack. This is without even touching the new Scrapbooking Brochure products as they were still in transit when I made these pages.

I’m a little rusty, scrapbooking-wise, so leaned heavily on the instructions from the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop kit in the Stampin’ Up!® Scrapbooking Brochure. But as I got into my stride, I went off-piste for the second page.

Stampin’ Up!® Ephemera Packs – the new way to make cardmaking EASY

An exciting new product range in the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue is the Mix and Match range, which includes four fun Ephemera Packs. Read on to see all the projects I’ve made with these fun packs... so far.

One of the things I love most about the catalogue, which goes live tomorrow, is that it is so accessible for new crafters.

There are lots of products in the early pages which are suitable for those who have never made a card before, and lots of tips to help them on their way.

I’ve been cardmaking for well over 25 years now but these Stampin’ Up!® Ephemera Packs – which some will view as “beginner” products – appeal to me, too. In fact they are perfect for anyone who is short of time, short of space or wants to pack up a little craft kit to take on holiday. And, drum roll please... Ephemera Packs are perfect for scrapbooking.
