Scrapbooking Snowy Adventures ❄️ | New Stampin’ Up! Papers + How-To Travel Guide...

Hey friends! This weekend on my YouTube channel, I’m shared a brand-new scrapbook layout that captures one of our family’s snowy adventures. If you’ve been looking for fresh ideas to document your travels, this layout combines some of my favorite techniques with gorgeous new papers from Stampin’ Up! and a peek at our new how-to guide on scrapbooking travel memories.



This two-page spread also has an 8 x 12 Flip Flap to house more photos. It's full of movement, texture (wait until you see how I made the SNOW title), and cozy winter vibes. I wanted the layout to feel like the photos themselves—fun, playful, and layered with details you’d notice as you flip through.

Here’s what I included:

Stenciling: I used the NEW Snowy Delights Snowflake Masks in the background to add dimension and bring that frosty feel to life. The soft ink blending and pops of color help anchor the photos and embellishments.

I used four different ink colors for that layered look...

---------------------------------------------------
New Papers from Stampin’ Up!: This was the first time I played with the Peaceful Day Scrapbooking Kit these fresh patterns, and oh my goodness—they’re PERFECT for outdoor adventures. The mix of blues, grays, and cozy textures pairs beautifully with winter photos.

The ribbon I used is from the Peaceful Gardens Suite - I decided to go an upside down tie for the tags and I LOVE the look...



Journaling spots and layered tags tucked behind photos give you a place to write little details without taking away from the design.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Favorite Details ❤️

The large “Good Times” circle is the perfect focal piece and title. You can barely see them here, but I also added the silver rub-ons from the Metallic Texture Rub-Ons around the clusters, title, etc.

The Die-cut and sticker trees help pull in the outdoor vibe - I layered them and used Dimensionals for added depth...


Added texture with the SNOW Title. I used the Party Alphabet Dies and our NEW Velvet Paper in white from the All Seasons Velvet Specialty Paper...


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Travel Scrapbooking Made Easy ✈️

This layout is also a sneak peek into our brand-new how-to guide on scrapbooking travel. Whether you’re documenting a quick day trip or a full family vacation, the guide walks you through:

Choosing the right papers and embellishments

Mixing full layouts with pocket pages

Quick journaling prompts to capture the “little moments”

Easy layering techniques for eye-catching spreads



If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed with where to start on a travel album, this guide is going to be your new best friend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Head over to my YouTube channel to see this layout come together step-by-step. You’ll see how I used the stencil, tips for layering patterned papers, and how to make the most of your travel photos in a two-page spread.

MUST-HAVE New Product from the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog....

Tomorrow, September 3rd, marks the release of the Sept-Dec Mini Catalog AND the Online Exclusives!

I thought I'd give you a list of MUST-HAVEs 😊

As a scrapbooker and cardmaker, I want to start the list like I would a project - from the base up...

SUITES...

TIP: Evaluate each product in a Suite - if you think you'll use them all, buy the Suite! If you don't think so, especially if it's a stamp, die, or embossing folder, consider buying the products you like al a carte!

The Suites below are the ones that I purchased....everything else, I did al a carte.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PATTERNED PAPER (DSP) (may overlap Suites suggested above - because you can never have too much paper 😊)...

TIP: If there's a Coordinating Cardstock for the DSP Package I'm buying, I always add it to my cart. #1 it allows me to instantly have cardstock to use in my scrapbooking and cardmaking and #2 I get a sampling of all the colors without having to buy full packages of each cardstock.






----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIALTY PAPER (might already be in Suites suggested above)...





----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAMPS/BUNDLES (not already in Suites suggested above)...


Needed for the coordinating Tree Shaker Domes



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIES/EMBOSSING FOLDERS (might be in Suites suggested above)...

TIP #1: Some Dies coordinate with the DSP - that's the coolest thing ever!!! 
TIP #2: Some Dies can stand-alone even though they are offered as Bundles with a coordinating Stamp Set - as in both the cases with the dies below. I wasn't really a fan of the stamp sets so I opted for the stand-alone dies. P.S. The Jolly Delivery Dies coordinate with the North Pole Delivery DSP!!!
TIP #3: You will NEVER regret buying one of Stampin' Up!'s Embossing Folders, in my opinion 😊






----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMBELLISHMENTS (might already be in Suites suggested above)...

TIP: BUY...THEM...ALL 







These products will be released at midnight on Sept 3rd (Utah time)....who's staying up late to shop ✋

This or That - Paper Pumpkin - Full of Charm...

One thing I love about Paper Pumpkin Kits is that there are enough card to make one of each of the pre-designed, then I get to do my own thing for the rest.

Let's take a look at both of the options...the one on the left "this" is the as-designed card and the one on the right "that" is the redesigned Matchbook card...


Let's take a close-up look...ALL of these elements are included in the Kit!


Here's the matchbook card...
----------------------------------------------------------
And, here's what the card looks like opened...



This design is not a new one, but it's one that I've been using for the past few months. You can download the pdf measurements for the Matchbook Card {{{here}}}.

Here's a look at the Full of Charm Paper Pumpkin refill kit - since it's a refill, you'll need to add your own sentiment stamp from your stash...


Because this kit has some 2025-2027 In Colors in it, it's part of the In Color sale that is happening all month. There's less than a week left in this sale, so hurry on over to my website and pick up some of your favorite In Color products!
