Free Scrapbooking Goodies and Wonderful New Designs Found in Plus in Design Bundles

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.

I'm absolutely thrilled you are here.  We've got the ever popular, Love For Layout Template blog train on tap.  I can't wait to show you the newest templates in Plus.  I've got some new designs in Kreative Design Studio.  There's a new vintage collection in the making that I'm sure you are going to love and I've got an extra freebie for you that coordinates with our HUGE Garden Glory Collection.  So, let's get into it!  (I love, Self Sufficient Me!  He's a gardener from Down Under that I found on You Tube.  He's so darn silly.  He reminds me of myself, entirely.  I resonate with his love for home grown food and he's wonderfully corny.)

I felt a bit like a cheat with the last few templates, but it's that or nothing, frankly.  At least for now.  I've debated sticking with the train, but I've been doing it for SO long, I just can't imagine stopping.  Tell me how much you appreciate the hundreds of free templates and other designs I've been giving away all of these years, in the comments below.  It's great incentive to keep doing it!

Keep scrolling for the link.

If you ever get lost along the way, pop over to the group.  You came from Scrap Chat and your next stop is Kakleidesigns.


Here's a simple page for ya.  Think of maybe using the layers as a background and adding pictures on top of that.  It'll give this template a whole other spin.  The focus on the pictures is ideal.


Without getting too salesy, let me explain what Plus is all about because a lot of people have been asking and most people know, I'm pretty darn good at in a nutshell.  There are three different kinds of membership.  There's Bronze, Silver and Gold.  Respectively, you pay about either $8, $12 or $19 a month.  You receive credits of 10, 20 and 50 respecitvely.  Each item is one credit.  You can get a paper pack, a template, a fun craft printable, etc for 1 credit.  So, you'd get 20 products for $12 if ya got the Silver Plan and a whopping 50 products a month with the Gold Plan.  That's only .37 cents per item, right?  I failed algebra three times.  So, there is a chance I've got this wrong.  Hehehe...Yes, the credits do carry over if for some crazy reason you don't use them all that month.  I design about 60 products per month.  If ya love our stuff and want it all, then you'd better go for Gold!

Some of last week's templates from Plus.  In Circles, Tri Again and Simple Spreads 2 and 3.

Though scrapbooking isn't Design Bundles biggest genre, there's a great selection.  If you are into other crafts like svg's, sublimation and embroidery then I totally recommend you join all of the fun spots.  There are several groups, a totally awesome You Tube channel and they even have a forum, too.  I post at least weekly in the forum and if you feel more comfortable posting in a place like that, then share your creations with us.

My page with Garden Glory and In Circles

Simple Spreads 2 and Hold My Beer from Art & Life Scraps found at the  Studio.

If you are surfing the web looking for page inspiration, then you've come to the right place.  Here are a few more pages with one of my favorite designers, Clever Monkey Graphics.  You can find her goodies at Sweet Shoppe.


A fun cuttable found in Plus and more from Tracey.

I told you about our huge Garden Glory Collection.  Here is just some of it.  I'll be adding more next week in the form of clusters and word art.  Am I missing something?  Let me know in the comments.  I'm debating seed envelopes, garden markers...

I've designed pages and pages for you to keep track of your gardening adventures!

The Flowers N' Trees Pack.

The Fruit N' Veg Pack.

If you are into sublimation, consider our designs and papers for things like garden flags.

How do you use journal cards besides for basic scrapbooking page layouts?  How about mini albums?  Stickers?  Seed envelopes?  Book markers?  Extra pockets?  Do not underestimate the usefulness of pocket cards.


This is the first pack of pocket cards.

Here's the second.

How about some recipe cards to give along with your home made items from the garden?

An alpha is always nice.  Our plain wood tiles are still on the Trending page at Plus.  Check them out!


Here's a page idea with the papers and journal cards.  Pocket scrapbooking is super fast and easy.


Word Bits can also come in handy.  Keep scrolling to see how I used them to make a frame.

Word Bits from Garden Glory

Our Bee Paper Pack is also Trending in Plus!  Thanks if you are a part of that!

Designing and scrapbooking with our items in Plus is fast, easy and so pretty.


Keep scrolling to get this free word bit frame.

In our next blog, we'll be showing off a bunch of our printable, hands on scrapbook mini albums.


Easy, right?  You don't need a fancy cutting machine or a lot of supplies.  I often include some kind of tutorial via the gallery as well.  So you're not on your own.

Cuttable lovers, you are going to love our cuttables in Plus.  Here are our newest.  Look under cut files and find a whole lot more designs that can be used for scrapbooking pages, too.




Y'all know how much I love my kitties.  Have at this super fun cuttable and template.


Keep your eyes out for the mini's I put in Plus.  They are always a hit!  Here's the newest one.


OK, I know y'all just love your vintage scrapbooking products.  I'm working on another large collection.  On top of solids, plaids, dots, flowers...I've also designed some with music notes.


Get both the music and flowers pack and you'll also get all of the solids.



Here you can see some of the Vintage Stripes, Buffalo Plaids and Dots packs.




Here is a pack of papers I made for my shop, Kreative Design Studio.  They took me so long to design.  I'm totally in love with the colors.


I used the papers to design a few craft projects for Plus.

Some stackable boxes...You can also put them inside each other.

I've also updated our top hat template and used the design for it.  Insanely awesome!

It all started with me wanting a fun design for my iPad cover.  I wanted it to be inspiring, bright, goth meets steam punk...How did I do?  This image is a visual representation of my brain!  Hehehe...It's everywhere and a little scary!


Here's the freebie that coordinates with Garden Glory.


An abbreviated or not so abbreviated look at some of the things I've been working on for Plus.  You can see more in our group and you can show us all of your crafts and scrapbooking pages there.  They don't have to be with our goodies.  You can ask questions, too.  You'll feel right at home.


Thanks SO much for popping by The Cherry!  Feel free to scroll back and take advantage of all of the amazing freebies and scrapbook inspiration we've got here.  We are an award winning scrapbooking blog.  Our Pinterest isn't too shabby either.

Next time, we'll be showing off some of our latest mini albums.  See you, then!

Happy scrapping and crafting!

Steam Punk Digital Scrapbooking Templates, Gorgeous Page Layouts, A New Shop and a Free Sample

Welcome to The Cherry on Top.

I've been feverishly getting products into our new shop, Kreative Design Studio at Design Bundles.  If the name sounds familiar, it is the same one we've been using at ETSY.  I am trying not to confuse anyone.  Hehehe...As if?!  I'll explain much more about our new endeavor, but first I've got to show off these really unique templates AND the amazing pages from my ladies.  Brace yourselves!  The pages are jaw dropping.

Creative Member Caro asked if I'd consider designing steam punk templates.  My first thought was, COOL!  Then after the idea sank into the grey matter, I already started doubting that this would be a "popular" idea.  In good ole Cherry fashion, I then thought, "Fig it!"  Let's do it!  Hehehe...I hesitated putting the preview in the CT's group and the first reaction was a bit skeptical and there was a light amount of enthusiasm.  Then the pages started coming in.  Some ladies didn't even know what steam punk was, but were intrigued.  More pages and the fire was lit!  I got a lot of pages and not just pages, gorgeous, jaw dropping pages that totally blew my mind.  Ok!  Ok!  We'll get started with the pages and then you can check out our new shop and grab that new Commercial Use freebie.


When I have to get my previews together, I usually chose a few that show off the strongest appeal to most of our fans.  This was so hard to do this time.  You'll see just what I mean and if ya don't know what Steam Punk is, you will when you're finished going through the blog.

Steam Punk has a very heavy, industrial feel.  Often metals are incorporated with an even Industrial Revolution time period vibe.  It's modern and it's vintage.  It's incredibly innovative and creative, like our templates.

Designs from CryztalRain 

Often, a darker palette dominates a Steam Punk image as you'll see, but don't let that stop you from going lighter. 

Rosie's Designs was the choice designer from my gals.

Below, the template was slightly repositioned and looks super.

More from Rosie.


Check out all of the delicious texture on the hat!

Goodies from Meagan's Creations at Sweet Shoppe.

Heartstrings Scrap Art also has awesome Steam Punk inspired kits with a bit lighter touch.

Goodies from a mix including Paula Kesserling.

Just look at how incredibly artistic you can go!

Goodies from The Lily Pad.

Here's more of a bright whimsical side.  Stunning!

Heart Strings Scrap Art

Steam Punk is great if you also like vintage.

More from Rosie.

Key Lime Digi Design, again.   Sandy put her kit on sale for you at only $4!!!

Designs from Theresa Banks.

Goodies from Laura Burger.

Caro cracked me up with this one.  Can you find the template?!  Come on...Keep looking...Santa's glasses!  BUAH!  Still worth showing off, right?!

More from Rosie.

Dee's Designs

Another mix.

Just to show you more from Heart Strings Scrap Art and the brighter side of Steam Punk here's a page I did with our EZ2Luv templates.  Don't be turned off by the dark side of Steam Punk.  There's a whimsical really fun appeal, too.



I skipped last week's blog so I could focus on getting more products in the new shop and I'm trying to come up with a more efficient system of getting products in both shops without being too repetitive.  So, I took last week's templates, Crafty Cuttables and...



LLiela Designs


Goodies from GingerScraps Mini Challenge.

JoCee Designs found at Sweet Shoppe.

Ilonka Designs

...merged a couple of layers and designed some cuttables for traditional scrappers.  They can also be used to make pretty papers and they are Commercial Use, too.  Everything in the Design Bundles shop is Commercial Use. Just look back at the pages the ladies designed.  Jarmila's page, directly above.  Isn't that a gorgeous paper?!  The lighting, the texture...It makes a great paper template and I certainly will be adding pretty papers in the Design Bundles shop designed from our templates.  Remember, when you purchase from GingerScraps those products are for Personal Use only.  I'd check both shops in case you prefer the way I use one product over another.


I love making mock ups!  You've seen plenty over the years, right here on the blog.  They are used to display products in a more creative way than the typical previews you see in the digital scrapbooking realm.  Keep scrolling to see what I mean.


Remember these?


I used them to show off freebies and products.


It's a much more appealing manner of product display.



I also use mock ups to show off my own products and I've got a huge list of ideas.  If you'd like mock ups to show off something specific, give me a shout and I'll add it to my list.  You can expect crafty mock ups very soon.



I designed this mock up with someone else's mock up.  Hehehe...I just added the frame and the photo and adjusted the colors of the room a bit.  That's my painting from the Flamazing Collection.  Most of my portion of Flamazing can be found in the new shop and used for Commercial Use.  If you do visit the shop, you can get a glimpse of something to come, but shh....don't tell anyone!



Also new in the shop and I'm so excited about this pack of textured papers.  They are not only layered templates, but I've also included a folder full of each layer in png format.  So if you are a designer who loves to add a lot of texture to your papers, then you'll love this set.  I've only just begun to learn how to use brushes and OMG has it opened up a new world for me.  I'm addicted to making papers!

Get a folder started of textures like these and keep them close at hand to design awesome texture rich papers in a few clicks!


I've got one free sample for you, using the templates.  It is not a layered version.


If you are not familiar with Design Bundles, I invite you to go and take a look around.  It's ideal for crafters and I've been shopping there for quite awhile before I started my shop there.  I also shared free stuff from Design Bundles, which you can also check out a little further down.  You know I love my freebies and will certainly be sharing more of them, right here.

This is so super cute and there is a lot more like it!  So many fun gift ideas!


At the moment, these lovely illustrations are free.  Grab them while you can get them for free!


If you are all about the free stuff, scroll through the blog.  It's FULL OF FREEBIES!


If you are like me and only buy when something is ridiculously on sale, my shop at Design Bundles has nearly a dozen items that are around $2!  I'd so love it if you started following me there and hearted our products.  It helps me BIG time and I certainly would appreciate it.

Thanks so much for all of your support.  I certainly hope we inspire you and brighten your day.

Get ready for next week!  It's going to be HUGE!!!  I'll have 2 amazing giveaways in our group and more fabulous freebies.  If ya love The Cherry, get on our mailing list so you can keep up with all of our action. We'd love to have you join us in the group, too.

Happy scrapping!
