Birthday wishes

Hey everybody, I hope you have something fun planned this weekend and you’re enjoying some beautiful Fall weather! It certainly is gorgeous here! I’ve popped in for my second post this morning to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you. I created this adorable camera shaped card which features papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces from our new Boho Floral collection! I used our KIS Cuts: Camera dies and assorted enamel dots and hearts to bring this card to life. It was definitely a fun one!

Using the KIS Cuts: Camera dies, I cut the shaped card base from CutCardStock Glama Brown Kraft cardstock along with the camera elements and layering panels from assorted prints in the Boho Floral 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished the card front with Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces and Back To Basics Enamel Dots and Hearts.

I used the Boho Floral Collection Stamps for the sentiment. I stamped it in Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink on a piece of our acetate, heat embossed it in Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder, and then cut it with the coordinating Boho Floral Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a print in the Boho Floral Collection, then stamped a sentiment from the Boho Floral Collection Stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. The final step was adding another floral from the Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces.

A Wee Bit Wicked

Hi friends, happy weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a super cute Halloween card that I’m sharing in the new challenge over at Festive Friday Challenge. There is an Inspo List for the current challenge which lists ten prompts but you only need to use three of them on your project. I’ve used nearly all of them… orange, black, mesh (hopefully her fishnet pantyhose qualifies, lol), die cuts, spider’s web, cauldron, bats and Halloween Sentiment. If you’ve never played in this challenge, I urge to check it out because it’s a lot of fun! And technically, your project does not have to be related to the listed theme – it can be anything as long as you use three of the prompts.

Here’s the challenge graphic:

This swing flap fun fold is one of my all-time favorite designs, and I’ve used papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Wee Bit Wicked Collection for this card. I saw this fold originally on Facebook about 3-1/2 years ago and have made quite a few of them. If you’d like my instructions, let me know.

Here’s an overhead view so you can see the construction. This design really packs a punch and I love the diamond orientation of the focal panel on this one!

Fall Vibes

Hi friends, happy Monday! The Mondays sure do seem to roll around quickly these days, don’t they? Last month one of my projects was included in the top pick lineup over at Let’s Craft and Create, and included was an invite to guest design for a future challenge. So here I am! The challenges are always ‘anything goes’ with an optional theme, so come on over and play. For Challenge #236 – AG + The Colors of Fall, I created a fun pocket gatefold card, inspired by THIS post on Connie Stewart’s blog. Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons, and this card is a fun one and provides a great alternative for the gatefold card closure. I showcased papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall collection along with their kraft ribbon.

I cut the card base, corner bases and pull-out card from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock. Also cut layering panels from assorted prints in the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack as well as CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown and Basis Natural cardstock.

I stamped a couple acorns from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Collection stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored them with Stampin’ Blends, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I used these as embellishments on the top of the pull-out card along with a bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Kraft Ribbon. The big sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Nuts About Fall Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural and embellished it with a leftover piece of dotted paper used on the pull-out card. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment (from the same stamp set), layered the panel on Vanilla Bean Brown and then adhered the piece to the inside of the gatefold. This was such a fun card to put together!

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope your week is off to a nice start! I announced in a separate blog post a couple days ago that I’ve been invited to join the Lori Whitlock Creative Team, and I’m beyond excited! So in case you missed that post, I’ll share this awesome news again, lol! I’m up on the Lori Whitlock blog today with my debut inspiration project featuring Lori’s Hidden Binding Mini Album House SVG cut file (from the Hidden Binding Mini Album Bundle 2) and the Library Pocket SVG cut file. I also used papers from the Pattern Fill Set Fresh Air. You know I’m a mini album fanatic and a huge fan of Lori’s hidden binding mini albums, so you’ll be seeing more of them in future posts.

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori’s Hidden Binding Mini Album House SVG cut file, I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Patriot Blue 12×12 and Vanilla Bean Brown Cardstock, as well as Classic Crest Natural White Recycled Cardstock and a variety of designer papers from Lori’s Fresh Air Pattern Fill Set. I added a front sentiment created with the draw function on my Cricut.

I’ve also included elements such as die cuts, library pockets, and fussy cut florals on the inside pages and the back. As you can imagine, I thoroughly enjoyed making this! :)

As Sweet As Can Bee

Hi friends, happy weekend! I hope you had a good week and you’re gonna do something fun this weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute floral bouquet with a bee and a matching card. A paper bouquet is an awesome way to thank someone for their kindness – paper flowers never wilt or shrivel! I used quite a variety of our cardstock (all listed below) along with the Lori Whitlock 3D Bee Bouquet SVG cut file to make this project, and I L-O-V-E how it turned out!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog to learn more. Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Lori Whitlock 3D Bee Bouquet SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from Lessebo Sunset Orange, Brick Orange, Cherry Red, Moss Green and Arctic Blue; Rubber Ducky Yellow, Mantis Green, Scottish Highlands Green, Granny Smith, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Classic Crest 80# Solar White, and Stardream Metallic Crystal cardstock. I used the print then cut function on my Cricut for the sentiment on the matching card.

As I say every time I post one of these fun projects, the assembly is always the most fun part. It’s such a joy watching them come to life! Here is one final shot of the bouquet flattened out and put in the envelope. This one was included in a bundle and I can’t wait to make the rest of them! ;)

Hello Sunshine

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Dang, the weeks just seem to roll by faster and faster, don’t they?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for #366 – More Than One Die Cut! I created a shaped thank you card which includes cloud and sun die cuts, and could be sent to a little kid or a big kid, lol! I used the Hello Sunshine A2 Shaped Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick, and I just love how it turned out!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the My Scrap Chick Hello Sunshine A2 Shaped Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis 12×12 Navy, Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Basis Pink, and Pink Tutu. Also used Keep It Simple Back To Basics Lemon 12×12 and Royal 12×12 Collection Packs, and Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I used the Print then Cut function on the Cricut for the front sentiment, and added several light blue gemstones. This completed the card front.

I also used the Print Then Cut function for the inside sentiment. This was such an easy project and I really enjoyed putting it together. Shaped cards are the best!

At Last I See The Light

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope your week has started off nicely and you’re enjoying a little bit cooler weather! It’s officially Fall! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This anchored swing flap is one of my favorite fun fold designs and it features papers, stamps and dies from our Once Upon A Time: Rapunzel collection along with a few other products on the website. If you love Princesses, this collection is for you!

I cut the card base and swing flap element from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine and Light Yellow cardstock along with a layering panel from a print in the Rapunzel 6×9 Collection Pack. Using the Rapunzel Collection Stamps, I stamped images on Classic Crest 110# Solar White and the Light Yellow cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I also stamped some sentiments on Light Yellow cardstock and then cut all the images and sentiments with the coordinating Rapunzel Outline Dies.

I used a die in the Back To Basics Nested Stitched Ovals Dies to cut the oval aperture into the front flap, assembled the card and embellished it with Back To Basics Lilac Enamel Hearts and Back To Basics Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots in yellow.

I embellished the inside with a strip and a panel cut from another print in the collection and added an additional stamped sentiment. Such a fun design!

Dream Big tag

10/04/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project featuring pretty papers, die cuts/ephemera and dies from Uniquely Creative, along with some amazing adhesives (and other products) from Scrapbook Adhesives! Yep, Scrapbook Adhesives is collaborating with Uniquely Creative and I had such a good time using products from both companies to create this mixed media tag!

Using a Uniquely Creative Slim Stitched Nesting Tag Die, I cut the tag base from CutCardStock Glama Brown Kraft cardstock. Then the fun began layering patterned paper, cardstock, die cuts and other pieces of ephemera from the Uniquely Creative Delighted Curiosities collection using the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser and Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I inked the edges of some of the pieces with Ranger Hickory Smoke distress ink on a dauber. I popped some of the elements up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares White Mix – these are 1mm and 2mm thick respectively and gave different heights of dimension. I also used the Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage stamp set to stamp cross and double stitching in random spots in Memento Olive Grove ink using an acrylic block.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique three times on this tag – the first with a strip of foiled squares down the left side created with E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser and crumpled brown and bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors. The second instance was the application of green flock onto several 3D Foam Squares Micro White and then placed in diamond orientation in random spots on the tag.

The third instance of the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside was created with blue embossing powder heated onto 3D Foam Strips with my heat tool. I cut the strip in different sized pieces and placed them on the right edge toward the bottom for a little interest. To use the term FUN would be an understatement… I had an absolute blast making this!

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! We are SO enjoying the cooler weather that’s finally arrived here! I’ve popped in today to share a congrats shaker card for Keep It Simple featuring our embossed squares dies that were released back in May, I believe. This offset stacked squares design was a fun one that yields some great dimension. And, of course, who doesn’t love a shaker?!

I cut a square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with four square layering panels which I die cut from 80# Solar White, teal, lime and lemon paper from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs using four of the embossed squares dies.

I created a shaker from the smallest square, adding Metallic Crush Rivers Edge and 2mm Beads Clear Caviar Glass from our Sprinkles line. I added a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, along with teal and white enamel dots, which completed the card front.

I die cut two square layering panels for the inside from the 80# Solar White and teal paper using two of the embossed squares dies. I stamped another sentiment from the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, and this card was complete.
