Painted Patch Workshop - The Creative AKademy...
🍂 NEW! Painted Patch Scrapbooking Workshop
If fall photos are piling up on your phone—or you just love a good excuse to play with gorgeous autumn colors—our Painted Patch Scrapbooking Workshop is ready for you!
This workshop includes THREE double-page scrapbook layouts, giving you six finished 12" x 12" pages designed for everything from pumpkin patches and family gatherings to everyday fall memories, cozy weekends, outdoor adventures, and all those little moments that make this season special.
And because I know not everyone needs the same thing, there are three ways to purchase!
🍁 OPTION 1: FREE with a purchase of $50 on my website
🍁 OPTION 2: The Complete Painted Patch Scrapbooking Workshop
Want me to walk you through the whole thing? This is the option for you.
With the Complete Workshop, you'll receive:
- A detailed Workshop Guide with the measurements you'll need to recreate all three double-page layouts
- Three double-page designs — SIX scrapbook pages total
- Coordinating Painted Patch Printable Ephemera Collection
- Ephemera formatted for both US Letter and A4
- Cutting Video so you can prep your papers right along with me
- Assembly Videos where I'll walk you through putting each layout together
You can use the layouts as shown or make them your own by changing photo sizes, rearranging embellishment clusters, or swapping in papers from your own stash.
One of my favorite things about these layouts is that we're using those beautiful patterned papers instead of saving them for "someday." Use the paper. Make the pages. Tell the stories. ❤️
🍁 OPTION 3: Painted Patch Ephemera ONLY
Maybe you don't need another workshop—you just want those embellishments!
We've also made the Painted Patch Ephemera Collection available separately.
You'll receive the printable ephemera in both US Letter and A4 formats, ready for you to print, fussy cut, and add to your own scrapbook layouts, cards, tags, journals, or other fall projects.
Please note: The Ephemera Only option does not include the Workshop Guide, measurements, cutting video, assembly videos, or layout instructions.
🍂 Which One Should You Choose?
If you love having the measurements figured out for you and enjoy crafting along with me, grab the Complete Painted Patch Scrapbooking Workshop.
If you're more of a give me the pretty things and let me do my own thing crafter, grab the Ephemera Only option. 😉
Either way, I think you're going to have a LOT of fun with this collection. The mix of pumpkins, florals, cameras, leaves, cozy fall images, and oversized titles gives you so many possibilities beyond these three layouts.
And don't feel like your photos have to scream FALL to use these pages. The colors and embellishments can work beautifully for family photos, everyday moments, gratitude-themed pages, trips, gatherings, and more.
Ready to create?
Choose the option that works best for you and start creating your own Painted Patch pages!
🍁 Submit a qualifying order and everything will emailed to you: ADD TO CART SUPPLY LIST

NEW 12x12 Sketchbook and a Back to School Layout...
Start With a Sketch…Then Make It Yours!
Do you ever sit down to scrapbook, pull out your photos and supplies…and then stare at that blank 12" x 12" page wondering where in the world to start?
That is EXACTLY why I love working with sketches!
A sketch takes away that initial “blank page” moment. You already have a roadmap for where your photos, patterned papers, title and embellishments could go—but notice I said could. A sketch isn’t a set of rules. It’s a jumping-off point!
One Sketch + Eleven Photos
And apparently I had a LOT to document because I ended up with ELEVEN photos!
Coffee, Bath & Body Works, Target, back-to-school shopping…it was one of those ordinary days that turned into a memory worth keeping.
The “Nine for Nine” trend gave me a fun little theme for the page, but the sketch helped me figure out how to actually get all those photos onto the layout without making the finished pages feel like a giant photo collage.
That’s one of my favorite things about using sketches.
You don’t have to follow them exactly.
Change the photo sizes.
Add another photo.
Remove a photo.
Flip the sketch.
Stretch it across two pages.
Move the title.
Add more patterned paper.
The sketch gets you started—and then YOU make it yours.
That’s Exactly Why We Create these Sketchbooks!
If you enjoy having a starting point when you scrapbook, you’re going to want our Scrapbooking Sketchbook nearby when you sit down to create.
Instead of spending your crafting time trying to figure out where everything should go, you can choose a sketch that works with your photos and start creating.
And remember: you're not trying to recreate the sketch perfectly.
Think of it as your creative roadmap.
👉 [GET THE SCRAPBOOKING SKETCHBOOK HERE]
Want to See This Sketch Come to Life?
I filmed the entire process so you can see how I took the original sketch and adapted it to work with my photos, patterned papers and embellishments.
You’ll see how I worked nine photos into the design, balanced the patterns across the two pages and made changes along the way to make the sketch work for my story.
▶️ [WATCH THE 11 PHOTOS, ONE SKETCH VIDEO HERE]
And here's my challenge for you:
The next time you're staring at a pile of photos and aren't quite sure where to begin, don't start with the paper. Start with a sketch.
Pick one. Gather your photos. Give yourself permission to change it.
You might be surprised how quickly that blank page disappears!

Signature Card Collection - Summer Happiness
Summer Happiness Card Collection
Six Sunny Designs to Brighten Someone's Day
There’s something about summer that just makes you smile—the sunshine, fresh lemonade, colorful flowers, and carefree afternoons. That happy feeling is exactly what inspired my Summer Happiness Card Collection!
This collection features six coordinating handmade cards designed with bright colors, playful summer icons, and cheerful sentiments that are perfect for birthdays, thinking of you, thank you cards, or simply sending a little sunshine through the mail.
Whether you're new to card making or have been crafting for years, these projects are designed to be fun, approachable, and easy to customize with your favorite papers and embellishments.
What's Included?
The Summer Happiness Card Collection Tutorial includes:
☀️ Video link for step-by-step instructions for all 6 cards
☀️ Full cutting measurements
☀️ Supply list
☀️ Color photos to guide you through each project
☀️ Tips for layering embellishments and creating polished, professional-looking cards
Each card showcases a different layout or technique while maintaining a cohesive look, making this collection perfect for creating several cards at once or building your own card stash.
Why You'll Love This Collection
One of my favorite ways to craft is by creating a collection rather than a single card. Working with the same paper, colors, and embellishments allows you to stretch your supplies while ending up with a beautiful set of coordinated projects.
In this tutorial you'll find a variety of styles—from clean and simple designs to cards with extra dimension and interactive elements—so there's something for every crafter.
Make Them Your Own
The layouts in this tutorial are incredibly versatile. Try changing:
The patterned paper
The sentiments
The embellishments
The ribbon
The color palette
You'll be surprised how many completely different collections you can create using the same sketches and measurements.
Perfect For
Birthday cards
Thinking of You cards
Encouragement cards
Thank You cards
Summer celebrations
Building your handmade card stash
Gift sets for family and friends
Ready to Start Creating?
I can't wait to see what you make with this collection!
If you create these cards, I'd love for you to share them and tag me on social media so I can celebrate your creativity. Seeing your unique take on these designs is one of my favorite parts of sharing tutorials.
Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to be part of your creative journey. I hope this Summer Happiness Card Collection brings as much joy to your craft room as it did to mine.
Happy crafting!

NEW Stampin' Hot Foil System...
Meet Metallic Magic: Why I'm So Excited About Stampin' Up!'s NEW Stampin' Hot Foil System!
The wait is almost over! Beginning July 10th,
Stampin' Up! is introducing something completely new—the Stampin' Hot Foil
System! If you've ever admired those gorgeous metallic details on high-end
handmade cards and wondered how they were created, you're going to love what
this new system can do.
As someone who loves adding special touches to my cards and scrapbook layouts, I'm always looking for products that create a "WOW!" factor without making the process complicated. This new system does exactly that.
What is Hot Foiling?
If you're new to hot foiling, don't worry—it's much easier
than it sounds.
Instead of stamping with ink, a heated metal die transfers a
beautiful metallic foil onto your cardstock. The result is a crisp, shiny
design that catches the light and instantly makes your project look elegant and
professionally finished.
Think of it as adding gold, silver, or colored foil accents
exactly where you want them—not with glitter or embossing powder, but with
smooth, mirror-like shine.
The best part? The foil becomes permanently bonded to your
cardstock, so it won't rub off.
Why I'm Excited About This System
I've looked through everything Stampin' Up! has released,
and several things immediately stood out to me.
It's Designed for Everyday Crafters
Some hot foil systems can be bulky or intimidating.
Stampin' Up! intentionally designed this one to be:
- Compact
and easy to store
- Lightweight
- Simple
to use
- Compatible
with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
That means if you already own the Cut & Emboss Machine,
you're well on your way to creating stunning foiled projects.
Safety Wasn't an Afterthought
One feature I especially appreciate is that Stampin' Up!
built safety into the design.
The system includes:
- Automatic
shutoff
- Magnetic
power cord
- Silicone
cooling pad
- Magnetic
pick-up tool for handling hot dies
Those little details make a big difference, especially if
you'll be crafting for long periods or taking the system to crops and classes.
The Secret to Beautiful Results
Here's one tip that jumped out at me while reading the
brochure.
Stampin' Up! recommends using the Hot Foil Rolls on smooth
cardstock surfaces, especially Two-Tone Cardstock, for the best foil
transfer. That's the kind of little detail that can make the difference between
a good result and an amazing one.
It's More Than Just Sentiments
One thing I love is the variety of Hot Foil Dies launching
alongside the system.
There are designs for:
- Elegant
botanical backgrounds
- Butterflies
- Landscapes
- Texture
elements (my jam)
- Frames
- Sentiments
- Large
alphabet and number dies
- Background
patterns like Swiss Dots (y'all know me and polka dots 💗)
That means you're not limited to adding shiny greetings—you
can foil entire backgrounds, scrapbook titles, decorative accents, and focal
images.
As a scrapbooker, I'm especially excited about the Luxe Alphabet & Numbers. Imagine creating custom page titles with beautiful metallic shine! DEFINITELY a stand-alone die to add to your stash, even if getting the new Stampin' Hot Foil System isn't on your radar.
Don't Forget the Foil Rolls
The system launches with three gorgeous foil colors:
- Gold
- Silver
- Light
Pink
Each package includes two 5-yard rolls, giving you plenty of
foil for lots of projects.
I'm already imagining using Gold on Christmas cards, Silver
for winter projects, and Light Pink for baby cards, florals, and weddings.
A Nice Bonus
For a limited time, the Stampin' Hot Foil System includes
the Metallic Magic Craft Class, a $30 value.
That's a fantastic way to learn the basics while creating
beautiful projects right from the start.
How Does It Work?
One thing I appreciate is that the process is surprisingly
straightforward:
- Plug
in the platform and warm your die.
- Build
your foiling "sandwich."
- Run it
through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
- Peel
back the foil to reveal your finished design.
It's a simple workflow that becomes second nature after just
a few projects. Here is a video made by Stamp' Up! to show how it's done...one from me will be coming soon!
Is It Worth It?
If you enjoy creating handmade cards, scrapbook layouts,
gift packaging, or home décor, I believe this system opens up an entirely new
level of creativity.
Foiling has always been one of those techniques that
instantly elevates a project from "beautiful" to "absolutely
stunning." Now it's easier than ever to achieve that polished,
professional look right at your craft table.
Whether you're making elegant wedding cards, festive
Christmas projects, sophisticated birthday cards, or eye-catching scrapbook
titles, the Stampin' Hot Foil System gives you another creative tool to make
your projects truly unforgettable.
Ready to Add Some Metallic Magic?
The Stampin' Hot Foil System officially launches July
10th, and I can't wait to start sharing ideas, inspiration, and project
tutorials using it.
If you're curious whether this system would fit your
crafting style, or you'd like help deciding which Hot Foil Dies to start with,
I'd love to help!
Be sure to check back here on the blog, subscribe to my
YouTube channel, and follow me on social media because I'll be sharing tips,
techniques, and plenty of foiled inspiration in the coming weeks.
Happy crafting!
