MOTIVATION MONDAY Carolina Craftin'

June 1, 2026

Today I’m going back to a template to get my creativity going for the week. I used the Valley In Bloom Suite Collection for my card. Unfortunately, the dies are not available at the moment so the suite cannot be purchased. They are predicted to be back in stock next week. The stamps, paper, and embellishments I used are all available to purchase separately. I love the color combination of this paper!

Measurements:

· Basic White Cardstock: 8 ½ “ x 5 ½ “, scored at 4 ¼” (cardbase)

· Gray Granite Cardstock: 5 ¼ “ x 4”

· Basic Black Cardstock: 4” x 2”

· Basic Gray Cardstock: 4 ¼ “ x 1 ½ “ (larger flag/pennant)

· Smoky Slate Cardstock: 3 ½ “ x 1” (smaller flag/pennant)

· Circles are made from the 1 7/8 “ and 1 ¾ “ Circle Punches

SCRAP CARD SATURDAY Carolina Craftin'

May 30, 2026

It’s Saturday so you know what that means! Time to pull all of your scrap paper out and turn them into cards! This week’s scrap card is so easy. I had a bigger scrap of designer series paper that I was trying to figure out how to cut down a little more to use on a card and then it occurred to me–just use it the size it is! Scraps don’t have to be tiny pieces of paper. It can be any size of paper that’s left over after you use it.

· Barely Blush Cardstock: 8 ½” x 5 ½ “, scored at 4 ¼ “ (cardbase)

· Basic White Cardstock: 5 ¼ “ x 4”, 5” x 1 ¾ “, scrap piece for the greeting and punched out with the Three Banner Punch

· Strawberry Slush Cardstock: 5” x 3 ¾ “ (embossed with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder)

· 2025 – 2027 In Color 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper: 5” x 1 ½”

· Banner Sayings Bundle (stamp set and punch)

· Baker’s Twine Essential Pack
