I’m glad you exist

Hey everybody – I hope you had a good weekend and you’re not planning to work too hard this week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fun alien ship box card. I used a variety of our cardstock which I have listed below. The cut file is from Cyndy G SVG which I paired with the Milky Way stamp set from The Project Bin, and I really love how this turned out! I did chuckle a tiny bit while assembling this! ;)

Using the Alien Ship Box Card SVG cut file from Cyndy G and my Cricut Explore Air 2, I cut all the pieces from Wedding Cake, Stardream Metallic Silver, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lava Stone Gray, Rubber Ducky, Green Curry, Aqua, and Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock.

I assembled the box card and just prior to adhering the white circle on the back, I stamped a very appropriate sentiment from The Project Bin Milky Way stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Oh, this was such a fun one! Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog!

HBD2U Truck Shaker

Hey everybody! I hope you had a great weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our amazing Back To Basics Vintage Truck Dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Happy Birthday collection. Everybody knows that there is nothing more fun than a shaker card, so I transformed the tailgate on this truck into a shaker!

Using the Back To Basics Vintage Truck Dies, I cut the card base from Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Happy Birthday 6×9 Collection Pack. I added some Happy Birthday die cut pieces and then fashioned the shaker using our Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate along with Pearl Hearts Sequins from our Sprinkles line.

I added a couple more Happy Birthday die cut pieces to the inside panel which completed this fun card.

Thinking Of You

Hey everybody – I hope your new year has started off nicely! I posted a couple weeks ago on Facebook that the girlfriend of my longtime friend’s grandson was injured by a hit-and-run driver while riding her bike and was injured pretty badly. Both her legs, her pelvis and one elbow were broken, and she’s undergone a couple surgeries. She’s had a lot of people praying for her and has healed well enough to be transferred to a rehab facility. Since all my design team work is caught up for the year, I took a little time to make some cards for her that I’ll be sharing – I want to spread them out so she consistently gets happy mail. This first one is a shadow box card that I made with some Doodlebug Design products in my stash. I love me some bright colors – and the brighter the better!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Amaranth Pink cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Doodlebug Design Summer Fun 12×12 Paper Pack. I used a Honey Bee Double-Stitched Frames die to cut the aperture and then embellished the front and inside with Summer Fun Chit Chat Die Cut Pieces and Summer Fun Puffy Words. The bow on the tag was made with the bow die in the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals die set.

I added a Solar White die cut panel (using the same Honey Bee die) to the back and embellished it with a few puffy flowers. I left it blank to write a custom message. LOVE how this turned out!

Christmas Thank You Cards

Howdy peeps – happy Friday! I hope your new year is starting off nicely! Ed and I are looking forward to an awesome 2026… maybe with a few less doctor appointments for both of us and definitely no more cancer diagnoses for Ed! But the frequent trips to our doctors seem to be our way of life in our old age! I wanted to pop in this morning to share a couple thank you cards I made for the two ladies who sent all the Christmas de-stash goodies. I made them both the same but with slight differences in the brick and trim. I’ve had the Lawn Fawn Shadow Box die set for a while along with the Fireplace Add-On dies set so I decided to finally use them. You know how much I love fun folds, and box cards are among my all-time favorites!

I used Craft Consortium Brick Textures papers for the box card base and CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock for the trim on this one. I listed all the other cardstock I used for the scene at the bottom of the post, which is the same on both cards. The Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set was my choice for the sentiment on the back.

I used the same pad of Craft Consortium Brick Textures papers for the box card base and CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock for the trim on this second one.

And here’s the back of the second one, with the same sentiment. I just love how these turned out! Lawn Fawn sure does have some fun die sets!

Happy Birthday fun fold

Hey everybody, happy Hump Day! Hard to believe it’s really the last day of 2025 but I’m hopeful the new year will be kinder to us. We’ve experienced a few uncomfortable situations this year that I’d really like to put behind us. But overall, we are blessed and I’m grateful for the many good things we experienced as well. On a lighter note, I’ve popped in today to share a card that is not for a design team, if you can believe that, lol! This triple bridge fold is a new one I had never seen before. My inspiration came from Connie Stewart (video HERE), and I did tweak it a bit. I used some of my absolute favorite Brutus Monroe cardstock and patterned papers.

I cut the card base from Brutus Monroe Scarlet cardstock along with layering panels from Brutus Monroe Fluttering Forest and Love Letters 6×6 paper packs. I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Flourishes & Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink and cut it with the coordinating Flourishes & Sentiments die. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory, embellished it with a leftover strip of the Brutus Monroe Fluttering Forest paper used on the front, and stamped another sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Flourishes & Sentiments stamp set in her Over Coffee ink.

Here’s a shot of the card standing up for display so you can see the construction. It really is a fun one that packs a punch!

1/3/26 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two fellow crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy Monday! Everybody hates Mondays and it’s the LAST one you’ll have to wake up to go to work on this year! I’m thrilled to share this particular project for Keep It Simple because it features TWO really fun elements. There’s a shaker tag on the front and a pop-up gift bag on the inside! Yep, a gift bag that holds a gift card (or cash or even a small folded card)! It’s been 5-1/2 years since I made one of these (post is HERE if you want to see it) and I added a closure to this gift bag which I didn’t do on the last one. But how cute is this?! I used papers, stamps and die cut pieces from our Cheerful Cottage collection (LOVE!), along with our Shaker Tag Dies and papers from our Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Pack.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Natural White Recycled cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Cheerful Cottage and Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Packs. To make the tag for the front, I used our KIS Cuts Tags #1 and Cheerful Cottage papers and die cut pieces, along with Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips, Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Sheets and Back To Basics Mango Ribbon (tied with Lawn Fawn white hemp twine). I used Sprinkles (Rivers Edge Metallic Crush and Yellow Caviar Glass Beads) and a few die cut pieces for the shaker bits.

I used faux stitching and sentiment stamps from the Cheerful Cottage collection, a sentiment border from the bonus cut-apart sheet, and a Back To Basics Epoxy Circle on the front. I totally love shakers and this tag shaker is really fun!

I fashioned the pop-up gift bag on the inside from a floral print in the Cheerful Cottage collection, using Lawn Fawn white hemp twine for the handles, and embellished the magnet closure with a Crafty Girls button. I stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set in brown ink and embellished the panel with a button die cut piece, and this completed the inside.

I totally LOVE how this turned out! Now you can see why I was so excited to share this card with you!

Fun Perpetual Calendar

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – I hope you had an amazing Christmas (if you celebrate) and hopefully have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project created with some really fun Doodlebug Design products along with some of the best adhesives ever! Everybody needs to start a new calendar for the new year, right?! I’ve made a few different versions of perpetual calendars over the years and this particular one is my own design from about five years ago.

Doodlebug Design is one of my all-time favorite companies and they invited our design team to collaborate with them so I was MORE than happy to play with lots of their products… another amazing opportunity that I thoroughly enjoyed! When linking to the Doodlebug Design products I used, I discovered they are out of stock on a few of them, but I’ll check back to see if they’ve been restocked and will update my post.

There are lots of pieces to this project and it took several hours to complete… and I enjoyed every stinkin’ minute of it! The E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen were my best friends for putting this together. I used Neenah Classic Crest Epic Black 130# cardstock for all the panels and base, which is nice and sturdy. I also used 80# Solar White cardstock, several die sets in my stash, and lots of Doodlebug Design products. I started by creating the panels for the days of the week.

Then I created the panels for the months of the year.

Next I created the panels for the dates in the month (two columns).

And perhaps the most fun of all was creating the panels with seasonal icons. In addition to using more Doodlebug Design products, I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using 3D Foam Snowflakes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Christmas Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors for a couple of the tabs.

And finally, I created the base, attached the 1/2″ black Zutter wire, and put it all together using my Zutter Bind-It-All.

And here’s one final shot of the completed calendar. If anybody decides to tackle this, I’d love to see your version! There are a few more details on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog, so be sure to check it out!

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! I hope you’re looking forward to a beautiful day filled with love, family and/or friends, and good food! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m hooked on the quilt block card, lol, and have made another one. I used papers and stickers from the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with elements from the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers and Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera (both from the upgrades).

I cut the 5-1/2″ square card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with two stitched square die cuts which I cut from CutCardStock Basis Red and Bright Gold Foil cardstock using Love From Lizi Stitched Square Nested Cutting Dies. I cut eight smaller stitched squares (using the same die set) from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit and eight more from CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft. I cut several of them in half diagonally and then glued them down in a quilt block pattern on a piece of copy paper.

I fashioned the sentiment from elements in the Rosie’s Studio Oh Joyful Day Puffy Stickers and Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera (both from the upgrades), and added a snowflake puffy sticker to the center. I tied a small bow from Lawn Fawn white hemp twine, colored it with a G28 Copic Ciao alcohol marker, and added it to the center.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with leftover strips of one of the prints used on the front and the Basis Red cardstock. I added floral and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on red cardstock, which completed the card.

Artist Trading Cards & Coins

Hey everybody – Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you’re ready for the big jolly guy in the red suit to make his appearance tonight… because he’s coming whether you’re ready or not! LOL, sure got here fast – that’s about all I can say! I’ve popped in with my second post of the day to share an assortment of ATCs (both cards and coins) that I made with some stuff in my stash along with some new crafty goodies that I got for Christmas!

I participated in a Secret Santa de-stash gift exchange hosted by a friend and got a nice box of crafty goodies from my exchange partner. So my friend who organized it messaged me and asked if I wanted to do another de-stash exchange privately with her (of course, I couldn’t say no, lol) and she sent me a huge box full of more fun stuff! Can you say WIN-WIN?! And I have to say that I was able to send out two fat (filled to the brim) medium sized flat rate boxes of de-stash items that I no longer used, so that was another WIN-WIN! Needless to say I was jones-ing to dig into these two boxes and make something pretty! It’s been forever since I’ve made an ATC, so that’s what I did… four coins and two cards to add to my ATC album!

For the four coins, I used Not 2 Shabby Pet tape along with papers from the Carta Bella Gather At Home 6×6 Mega Pad, Carta Bella Flora No. 3 6×6 Paper Pad, and Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. Also used some Keep It Simple enamel hearts and glitter enamel dots. If you’re not familiar, Pet tape is different than Washi tape. Washi tape is a paper sticker tape and Pet tape is a clear plastic sticker tape that’s pre-cut with images and sentiments, and SO fun to use!

For the two cards, I used papers and stickers from the Carta Bella Home From Christmas Collection Kit along with some Eyelet Outlet enamel dots. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve gotten my ATC fix – for now – but you may be seeing more soon, lol!

12/27/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!
1/2/26 Best of 2025 at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends – can you believe it’s Christmas Eve already?! OMGoodness, time is flying by! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I finally got around to making another starburst panel using papers and stickers in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera from the upgrades. It’s actually been a little over five years since I created a panel like this (post HERE if you want to see it). The next time I make one of these I’m going to put the points on the strips more toward the center (for a true starburst look) rather than off to one side.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss cardstock along with 16 strips from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit which I then cut in half diagonally. This is a super simple process of placing the first strip down on a lightweight panel of cardstock (or you can use copy paper), then placing each subsequent one down in a starburst formation leaving just a tiny bit of space between the previous one.

For the focal, I grabbed a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera and layered it on a stitched circle cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil because I thought it needed just a touch of bling. I then cut a slightly larger circle from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock which gave the focal a little more balance. I used the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies for the circles, and popped the focal up on Scrapbook Adhesive Thin 3D Foam Squares for a little dimension.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a patterned paper strip from the collection and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera. I layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock which completed the card.
