Ginger Snap Scraps Grand Opening Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Ginger Snap Scraps Grand Opening Blog Hop!



Ginger Snap Scraps is owned by Cori Wagner, a stay at home mom who has been scrapbooking, card making and rubber stamping for 15 years!

Ginger Snap Scraps carries Cricut Cartridges always for $35 and under. They have popular brands such as My Mind's Eye, Tim Holtz, Copic, Doodlebug Design, The Twinery, Bella Blvd, Graphic 45, La La Land, Little Yellow Bicycle, Riley & Co., Peachy Keen, and any more!

Many wonderful ladies have created projects to show case some of the brands that are available in the store.

I decided on a simple mono-chromatic birthday card for my project.  I started with a 5x7 base card and covered it with aqua cardstock.  Then I took the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder and used another piece of the aqua cardstock.  I distressed and inked the edges and the embossing with Versa Magic Chalk Ink Turquoise Gem.    Then I took Carribean Blue twine and wrapped it around the card 3 times in each direction.  In the center I put the aqua flower brad from American Crafts Flower Shoppe.  Inside I stamped the sentiment "May all your Dreams come true" in Turquoise Gem.



Please visit Ginger Snap Scraps today and enjoy free shipping on $25 orders to the U.S. and Canada!
