Colorful Mini Tag Flip

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a mini tag flip featuring layered and decorated tags. These are perfect for tweens and grown-ups alike! I used a variety of our cardstock, which I’ll list below. Most people make these to swap or just to give as a fun gift. It’s not your typical mini album although the tags can have pockets and areas for photos and journaling. This one actually includes one tag with a pocket and tiny journaling card. This is the first one of these I’ve made and I can SO see another collection brewing, lol! So fun!

The first order of business was to add jump rings to the pom-pom and butterfly charm. I made the tassel from yellow hemp cord in my stash, and added a ring to that as well.

Then the fun began making all the tags. Using the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip die set, I die cut a bunch of tags, bows, flowers and rosettes from Lessebo Sweet Mint and Amazon Dark Teal, Pop Tone Grapesicle and Banana Split, Royal Sundance Burgundy Linen, Textured Pearl Green Curry, Bright Gold Foil and 80# Solar White. Then I cut more tags from the Fancy Pants Designs Bloom 12×12 double-sided papers. The Coco & Reno dies came in a kit along with Fancy Pants Designs Bloom double-sided papers, cardstock and foam stickers, enamel dots, and dangle embellishments. I punched circles for the centers of the rosettes, and used enamel shapes, gemstones and pinstripe peel-off stickers from my stash.

Here are the first four tags.

And here are the other four tags. I cut more pieces than I needed and was able to make eight additional tags for another mini tag flip, plus I have lots of extra die cuts to make more tag embellishments for future projects. Win-win!

Hey Girl Hey

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great weekend and doing something fun! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a tall tented easel card. I used some fun papers, stamps and dies in my stash for this delightful friendship card. I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner and the glittery lines across the base, and of course, used some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together!

I’ve made quite a few tented easel cards over the years but this is the first tall one I’ve made. I had to tweak the measurements a bit to make it taller so the banner would fit above the bird. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to learn how to make this taller version. I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Dual Tip Glue Pen for the assembly.

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Basis 12×12 Aqua cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Vivid Double-Sided 6×6 Paper Pad. The image and sentiments are from the Prickley Pear Stamps Hey Girl Hey stamps and dies, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored with a variety of markers.

I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique to create the banner using the 3D Foam Pennants and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, along with 3D Foam Micro Squares and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors for the tiny embellishments beside the letters on the pennants. I also used Adhesive Lines and diamond glitter in my stash for the lines across the base which are kind of hard to see in the photos but really add some pretty sparkle.

The inside sentiment panel was cut from Solar White cardstock and another sentiment from the Hey Girl Hey stamp set was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added an embellishing strip with the glittered lines to the top of the panel to match the base. I’ve included one final side shot so you can see the cool construction. I love how this turned out!

Hi friends, happy weekend! The weeks sure do seem to be rolling by quickly these days! I’ve (finally) begun entering challenges again after a year-and-a-half hiatus. Last month one of my cards scored a Top 3 spot over at The Creative Crafters Challenge and I was invited to guest design for an upcoming challenge, so here I am! I’m sharing this motivational card for Challenge #98 and I just love how it turned out! The image is an older rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps and the sentiments are from Stampin’ Up.

I cut the 5-1/4″ square card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with a layering panel from a pretty pink gingham in the Pebbles Inc. Basics 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the Whimsy Stamps Daphne image on 80# Solar White first in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with a variety of markers, and then stamped it a second time in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I do this frequently to get a good crisp image.

I added some shimmer to her wings with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen, cut the image with a My Favorite Stamps Stitched Mini Scallop Square STAX die, and added Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheet to the back. I cut some pink craft foam with the same MFT die and layered it beneath the image panel for a little interest, and adhered the piece to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape. I added a sentiment stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink (from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set) and cut with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentimental Silhouettes die.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a strip of the gingham paper used on the front, and layered it on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock. I stamped the inside sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up stamp set) on a Solar White scrap and die cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up die.

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week! I have another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring papers, stamps and dies from the new Best Friends collection. I’ve made a couple of these accordion gate fold cards now (inspiration came from Lisa Curcio’s blog) and I have to say that it’s definitely on my top 10 list! It’s so fun and really packs a punch!

I cut the card base and accordion panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Best Friends 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped several images from the Best Friends Collection Stamps, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and fussy cut it. I stamped a couple hearts in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink and popped the bone up on an adhesive foam square.

I cut the inside sentiment panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and added another sentiment from the same stamp set (stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink) which completed the card.

And one final shot from overhead so you can see the cool construction of this fun fold! LOVE it!

Happy Friday, everybody! Has Spring ‘sprung’ where you are? It’s working on it here and I’ll be happy to finally see it! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring the new KIS Cuts Stitched Pennants Dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Simply Spring collection and a few other items on the website. I absolutely love shaped cards and I really like how this birthday card turned out.

Using a Stitched Pennants die, I cut the card base from Solar White cardstock along with a solid layering panel from the Back To Basics Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack and a couple coordinating prints in the Simply Spring 12×12 Collection Pack. I tore the edge of the floral paper for a little interest and then fashioned a floral cluster from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces, popping the small one in the center up on a foam square.

I added a twine bow (using Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine) and some Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots. The final step was adding a stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped in Catherine Pooler Polished ink.

I cut the inside panels using the same larger Stitched Pennants die and tore the black layer to match the front. I added a couple more florals from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces along with another stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.

Love Life Mini in a Tin

Hey friends, how are you doing on this wonderful Wednesday morning?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very colorful mini album in a tin. Our new DT term just started this month at CutCardStock so this is my first post of the new term! I’m starting my seventh year on this amazing team and the time has flown by!

A couple years ago I won a Tin Topper subscription from Gecko Galz, and received beautiful digital tin topper images every month for a year. I bought tins on Amazon and have had them in my stash all this time so I decided to finally use one! Any colorful digital images or patterned paper can be used for this project. Of course, you need pretty cardstock, too, so I used Amaranth Pink, Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon, along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White.

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog where you’ll find the template for the mini album, all the measurements, and step-by-step instructions. I started by printing Gecko Galz Spring Blossoms Tin Toppers (from May 2024 Tin Topper Kit) on 80# Solar White, and trimming them down slightly.

I decorated the tin with one of the tin topper images, cardstock, MAMBI skinny washi tape, and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots. I added a flower cluster made from Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which I tied in a bow with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I cut the mini album from Amaranth Pink cardstock and rounded the corners of each section. In addition to the digital tin topper images, I used Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory for the panels, creating four pockets on the front and four on the back. I cut pocket cards from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for journaling and/or photos. I used a little bit of the washi tape and a few of the enamel dots to embellish the inside of the mini album without adding too much bulk.

I folded up the mini album and tied it in a pretty bow. Here’s a final shot of the mini in the tin. I sure do love how this turned out! I wanted it to be pretty but not overly done, and I think I accomplished that! ;)

Happiness is Homegrown

Hey everybody, happy last day of February! Can you believe it?! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers and stamps from our new My Little Greenhouse collection. I’ve made different versions of the diagonal tuck card over the years but this is a new version that I saw on Lisa Curcio’s blog a while back. I thought it would be a fun one to show off some of the products in this new collection.

I cut the card base and larger stitched circle on the front from CutCardStock Wild Salmon and Basis 110# Natural cardstock. I cut the rest of the layering panels and smaller stitched circle from assorted prints in the My Little Greenhouse 6×9 Collection Pack. Our Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies were used to cut the circles.

I stamped the images and sentiment from the My Little Greenhouse Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink and colored the images with alcohol markers. I fussy cut them, as there was a delay from the manufacturer and we had not yet received the dies. I popped the sentiment up on several foam squares from our Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips, and added a few Back To Basics Ruby Enamel Dots which completed the card front.

I stamped an additional sentiment and small flower from the My Little Greenhouse Collection Stamps on the diagonally-cut inside panel. This is such an adorable Spring card!

Lucky Shopping Cart

02/28/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy Fri-YAY! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project created with a super cute SVG cut file from Cricut Design Space and some of my most favorite Scrapbook Adhesives products! I originally saw this shopping cart made in a Valentine theme by a designer on the 12×12 Cardstock Shop DT who linked to the creator of the cut file in Cricut Design Space. I thought it was so stinkin’ cute I just had to make one in a Lucky St. Patty’s Day theme!

Using Louise Beauregard’s Shopping Cart SVG cut file in Cricut Design Space, I cut the shopping cart base from CutCardStock 12×12 Scottish Highlands, the wheels from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black, and all the layering panels from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Lichen Encore Textured 12×12 cardstock. Then I assembled it using a combination of the E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and Dual Tip Glue Pen. I used some old green glitter brads in my stash for the center of the wheels.

I also found the Shamrock Window Decoration and Lucky Shamrock Font SVG cut files in Cricut Design Space. I cut the shamrocks from the green in the Brutus Monroe Rainbow Glitterstock and the shamrock layers and ‘lucky’ word from Lessebo Pitch Black. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the shamrock layers together and Adhesive Sheet on the back of the words. I employed the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (black) and 3D Foam Circles White Mix to create some embellishments for the shamrocks. I adhered the shamrocks on the sides of the shopping card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Here are a couple more angles of this adorable 3D project. Now to decide what to put in it… maybe some candy, chocolate coins, tags, or mini cards! Or just leave it empty and display it on a mantel or side table! Eeeeek, so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Happy Saturday, y’all! I hope you’re having a good weekend! I have a super sweet kitty-themed inspiration project for Keep It Simple to share with you today. I created a circle pop-out card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new Best Friends collection. Ed and I rescue cats (and we have a dog) so this collection is close to my heart. I’ve had handwritten instructions for this fun fold in my tutorial folder for quite some time although I don’t remember where I initially saw it. I had never gotten around to making it until a few months ago when I saw a similar one on Connie Stewart’s YouTube channel HERE. That would be a good place to look if you’d like to learn how to make it.

I cut the card base and two stitched circles (using the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies) from CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Best Friends 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added image and sentiment die cuts from the Best Friends Die Cut Pieces, popping a couple of them up on foam squares from our Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips.

I used the Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter Punch to punch a tiny heart from a corner of one of the papers containing a red image, and adhered it above the kitty. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the paw print paper used on the front and a couple more die cuts.

hello Friend

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a good week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an interactive butterfly card. I had never heard of this pop out fun fold before I saw it on YouTube, and now I’ve made a couple of them (with different elements) and have another couple planned. So fun and easy! I made this one into a friendship card but it could be tailored for a birthday, anniversary, or just because. I used Pop Tone Snow Cone, Jet Stream Blue, Surf and Hummingbird cardstock which I paired with patterned paper, stamps, dies, and an embossing folder in my stash. I love these colors together!

I used the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Butterflies Dies to cut the butterflies. I cut the card base and panels from Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock and added a panel of patterned paper from the simple Stories Boho Sunshine Collection Kit. The front sentiment is from the Hero Arts Here For You stamps which I cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die.

Here are shots of the card opening and then fully opened revealing a couple more butterflies that actually look like they are flittering out of the card. The inside sentiment is from the Altenew Enchanted Roses stamp set. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog for more details on how to make this card!
