Gratitude Card Celebrating Scrapbook.com 25th Anniversary

I could not let August go by without celebrating Scrapbook.com and their 25 year Anniversary in business! I am so thankful that they gave me the opportunity years ago to create projects for them on occasion, and even happier that this relationship continues. Although, I'm an affiliate, project designer and brand ambassador for a number of companies in the craft and hobby industry, my relationship with them has been the longest and they hold a special place in my heart!

With that being said, I wanted to honor Scrapbook.com's anniversary by creating a gratitude card, thanking them for being such an amazing company. Scroll down for creative details and a little chit chat. I'll have a clickable shopping/supply list at the end of this post, as well.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

 

When I heard that August is their Anniversary month, I considered making a birthday or anniversary card in celebration. Ultimately though, I feel such gratitude and decided I needed to follow my heart.

Luckily, I have some really awesome Scrapbook.com exclusive products in my stash that fit the bill. I wanted to keep this card really clean though, with lots of white. I also opted for Fall colors because it's my favorite time of year and I've been feeling all the Fall feels lately.

I chose the Wildflower Branches Stamp and Die Set, and the Gratitude Stamp and Die Set to create with. I also created an embossed backdrop with one of my favorite Spellbinders 3D embossing folders, using my black Spellbinders Platinum 6 die cut system which is an exclusive product available only at Scrapbookcom. Every year around November leading up to the holidays, I purchase myself a new tool and last year I bought the black Platinum 6. I love it so much!

I began by stamping my images using my Misti stamp positioner with my Scrapbookcom black hybrid ink. Hybrid ink works well with alcohol markers but also for watercoloring, which is my technique used for today.

The other inks I used were Catherine Pooler inks, which are a water based ink. I created with this quartet of inks: Catching Rays, Orange Twist, Eucalyptus and Macchiato. Simply press the ink pad onto your project mat or craft mat, and grab the color with a damp waterbrush. I generally mix in a tiny bit of water into some of my ink so I can layer my colors, light to dark.

My sentiment from the Gratitude stamp and die set was stamped with the same CP inks above (which the exception of Macchiato) to tie all my colorful elements together. 

All of my elements are popped up with Scrapbookcom adhesive strips and I also embellished just a bit with Scrapbookcom Pops of Color liquid gloss embellishment in Sunflower.

Happy Anniversary Scrapbookcom, and thank you for all you do to make this world a brighter place!

Terri
