Hope - Maureen

Maureen has been slightly obsessed with creating these adorable little pocket cards - and we have to agree, they are so precious and sweet! Making these is as simple as creating a square envelope from any style of paper and cutting down complementing stationery, tags and ephemera to tuck inside, but she adds her special touch with her mixed media style and we are here for it!

For this pocket, she used our Rose Flourish chipboard and a custom sentiment we made for her, hope. Maureen altered the rose flourish by cutting it in half to add a piece to each side of the pocket. She prepped with gesso and then tinted it with Victorian Velvet Tim Holtz Distress Ink before heat embossing with ultra thick embossing enamel.

She tucked in layers of paper flowers and threads and topped this beauty off with her sentiment, which she heat embossed with black and white, salt + pepper embossing powder to help it pop.

Our Design Team

Tracey Stubbs is the Owner and Operator of Scrapaholics Scrapbook Supply and Chipboard. She fell in love with Scrapbooking over 20 years ago when her children were little and enjoyed the obsession as a hobby Over the years, Tracey watched as paper crafting evolved into such a wide array of possibility with all sorts of media you could use to decorate a project. In 2013 she discovered chipboard and fell in love! She added some to her online store and they became a number one seller. Eventually she purchased her own equipment and supplies to make her own laser-cut chipboard creations and we have the Scrapaholics you see today. Through Tracey's hard work and dedication to the craft her collections are available to the public on her website as well as Etsy, to stores and other retail locations and she has a full design team who works hard to show off her creations so others might be inspired.

Cristina Cunningham lives in NY and is a mom and new grandma. She has been crafting in one way or another since college, but discovered scrapbooking when her oldest was born. Her love for paper crafts grew from there. Cristina’s style is shabby and feminine, her favorite projects revolving around memory-keeping; however, she also enjoys making junk journals, cards and altered pieces, as well. When she isn’t scrapbooking, you can find her whipping up a favorite meal in the kitchen or decorating some obscure corner of her house.

Jeanne began crafting in 2013 as a therapeutic outlet to overcome depression. A lot of personal and career changes were taking place - she is a former fingerprint technician for a crime lab! Paper crafting became a way for her to express herself doing something that she found she loved. Jeanne loves scrapbooking, card making and mixed media and her style lends most to shabby chic and vintage with a little grunge mixed in.
