Hello crafty friends! It is Nathalie with you today to share a bit of cardmaking inspiration featuring the September SCT Sampler. I love receiving my Sampler each month! The curated papers, embellishments, and exclusives are always a welcomed addition to my worktable. Have I mentioned this bundle is generous? I mean there is so much packed in here that you can easily create a few projects with it. I had already created a double page, and since we are getting closer to World Cardmaking Day, I used the rest of my Sampler to create a few cards.

 Supplies | Scrapbook & Cards Today September 2021 Sampler; Acetate: Duralar; Cardstock: Bazzill; Metal Die: Freckled Fawn; Eyelets & Crop-a-Dile: We R Memory Keepers; Trim: Doodlebug; Jewels: Pinkfresh Studio; Sequin: Picket Fence; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

For my first card, I focused on the sticker sheet from Jen Hadfield’s Peaceful Heart collection as the focal point for the card. I used a bit of clear acetate, sequins, and foam adhesive to transform them into shaker elements! I framed the front panel with Peaceful Heart patterned paper from the Sampler, then added a simple sentiment sticker from Carta Bella’s Summer Collection and a few jewels to complete the card.

The florals in Carta Bella’s Summer collection are divine. I fussy cut a few from the patterned paper in the Sampler. I trimmed one of Jen Hadfield’s Peaceful Heart collection patterned papers to form the card panel.   Using foam adhesive, I adhered the fussy cut florals to the panel, then used the “thank you” sticker from the Summer collection as the sentiment for the card.

 For my last card, I used the cut apart tags from the Summer collection patterned paper. I added eyelets and a bit of twine to the punch holes to add the needed texture to the card. Using a stitched rectangle metal die, I cut the card panel front, then used foam adhesive to attach the tags and stickers to the card.

I hope these cards have inspired you to create a few cards of your own this week using your SCT Sampler. There is so much inspiration waiting for you in that little bundle! Happy crafting!
