Hey friends! SBC Fest is back on Friday, September 11th, and while I'm not teaching this round, I still have some fun things to share with you about the event. This is an all-day virtual paper crafting event with loads of tutorials, techniques, and inspiration, taking place right on the Scrapbook.com YouTube channel.

About SBC Fest

SBC Fest is an all-day virtual paper crafting event hosted by Scrapbook.com, packed with tutorials, techniques, and inspiration. This year's lineup includes talented instructors like Simon Hurley, Mirisha Dean, and more, each bringing their own styles and techniques to the table, so there's something for everyone.

In total there are six instructors and each one has a kit that contains the main items they'll be using for their class. You can purchase each kit individually or get all six of them as a bundle. The items are only available in the kit and will not be available individually until after SBC Fest. Personally, I recommend getting the kit if you are interested in any of the items in the kit as you will actually get the best price if you purchase the kit as compared to buying any of the items separately.

SBC Fest will be taking place on Friday, September 11th 2026 on the Scrapbook.com YouTube Channel. The replay will be available to watch at any time, however I really recommend joining live if you can. That's when you get to chat with the instructors, ask questions in real time, connect with fellow crafters, and enter giveaways throughout the event. You can find all the details about SBC Fest using the buttons below.

The Card I Made with Laura Graff's Kit

SBC Fest is for everyone—card makers, scrapbookers, and paper crafters of all kinds. Whether you're into clean and simple designs or love getting messy with mixed media, there's something for you. Plus, you can join the event LIVE to chat with instructors and enter giveaways throughout the day. It's such a fun way to connect with fellow crafters and soak up new techniques and ideas.

A SNEAK PEEK AT LAURA GRAFF'S KIT

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the kit that Laura Graff will be using for her class. This is NOT the class project—this is just one more way to use the kit. Think of it as some extra inspiration on how to use her kit and to help get you excited about her class!

KIT CONTENTS

• A2 Heirloom Patterned Paper Pad
• From The Heart Stamp Set
• From The Heart Coordinating Die Set
• Treasured Garden Die Set
• Heartfelt Blooms Rub-On Transfers
• Large Zipper Storage Pouch

The large zipper storage pouch is perfect for storing all of your materials for SBC Fest and be ready to craft alongside your favorite instructors!

 GRAB LAURA'S KIT HERE 

I love this soft, romantic color palette with the peachy florals and sage greenery from the Heirloom paper pad. For this card, I used various dies to cut and layer elements, creating dimension with the nested stitched label, butterflies, and that gorgeous floral paper. The "Thinking of You" sentiment is perfect for so many occasions, and the whole design comes together beautifully with just a bit of distressing on the edges for that vintage feel.

GET YOUR KITS & MARK YOUR CALENDAR

You can purchase each instructor's class kit separately, but if you're loving it all and are looking for a deal, you might want to consider purchasing the Ultimate Instructor Bundle, which includes ALL of the instructors' kits so that you can craft along for the ENTIRE event! Here's look at all of the kits that are included in this bundle.

 GRAB THE ULTIMATE BUNDLE HERE 

The MSRP on the Ultimate Bundle is $655. However Scrapbook.com is offering it at an amazing price  right now of only $229.99. And if you want to save even more make sure you use the code CRAFTY to save an extra 13%. This is the lowest price if will be offered prior to the start of SBC Fest, but if you wait for that it may be sold out.

Now with all that said, you do NOT need to purchase anything to play along and enjoy the event. You can always take a look at the kits and then shop your stash for similar items and play along.

I hope you'll join me and thousands of other crafters on March 13th for this amazing FREE event! Mark your calendars now, and I'll see you there!

SBC Fest may be over, but never fear! You can catch the replay over on Scrapbook.com's YouTube Channel any time! All of the classes, content and supply lists will be available forever, so if you happened to miss it, I highly recommend checking it out. Each day has a variety of instructors teaching classes on cardmaking, mini albums, and scrapbook pages with a mix of styles. And even if you think a class or technique may not be your style, I can assure you each and every class had some great tips and tricks that anyone can incorporate into their paper crafting projects. I learned SO much including some great techniques and how to work with some new to me products! I'm also still on cloud 9 about have been an instructor for this event! Especially considering some of the "famous" people that were also part of it...including Vicki Boutin, Ali Edwards and Simon Hurley!

For my class, I shared some do-able mixed media techniques and how to create this card using stencils, stamps and die cuts. I also shared how to add some texture using Pops of Color and a great trick to keep this medium from bleeding under under your stencil! You can check it out here! I'm at 3:35 into Day 1 of SBC Fest.

I just love the texture you get with the Pops of Color and a stencil!

And aren't those die cuts just gorgeous! These Sprigs and Butterflies are some of my favorite dies!
