Happy Saturday, friends! Is it any cooler where you are? Our weather is absolutely gorgeous! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun birthday card featuring this month’s new brads that you just have to check out! We have you covered whether you love chocolate, strawberry or vanilla!

I cut a square card base and adhered a panel of blue cardstock. I layered strips of Glitter Dot Washi Tape on a piece of white cardstock leaving a very thin margin between the strips, and then cut it with a postage stamp die. I layered the die cut on a blue cardstock panel and then on white. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip which I angled across the die cut. I added several Ice Cream Brads and adhered the layered piece to the card base. The final step was adding White Enamel Dots in the corners.

I created the inside sentiment on the computer, printed it, and trimmed it. I embellished the panel with more of the Glitter Dot Washi Tape and narrow strips of blue cardstock.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! Now I want an ice cream cone, lol!

Hello again! I hope you’re having an awesome day! I’m back once more today to share another Hochanda sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps! It has been quite an honor to have been asked to create this huge batch of samples to be showcased on Hochanda, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself! I still have a few more to showcase, so stay tuned!

This card features a Brushos background in yellow, orange and red, drying each layer with my heat tool before applying the next. I stamped the steampunk butterfly on yellow cardstock in black ink and colored it with Nuvo alcohol markers. Then I fussy cut the butterfly, adhered it to black cardstock and trimmed it again leaving a tiny edge of black cardstock around it. I adhered the butterfly just by it’s body so the wings are 3-D, and then layered the panel on yellow cardstock. I finished the front with Crystal Drops.

I embellished the inside panel with yellow and black cardstock, stamped the sentiment, and layered the panel on the yellow cardstock.

One more peek… really loving how this one turned out! I love butterflies and this steampunk version is the best!

Boo

On By LeslieIn Papercraft, Slimline5 Comments

Hi friends! A super Happy Hump Day to you! How about some Halloween slimline card fun?! Here’s a fun sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps featuring the most adorable Trick or Treat Koala Goblins clear stamp set!

I stamped the images in black ink on white cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them. The coordinating dies weren’t yet available in the store when I created this sample, but they are now, so that’ll definitely make your life easier, lol! The Halloween color combo is one of my absolute favorites. I used a polka dot Halloween paper and built this slimline off that, using stitched square and stitched square mini scallop dies. I did stamp a few of the extra images directly on the little die cut backgrounds and then added some black gemstones to complete the card front.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of the paper and black cardstock used on the front, stamped the sentiment and spider with web, then layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more peek… absolutely loving how this turned out! I guess it’s the kid in me that still loves Halloween fun! Of course it helps to have adorable stamps to play with! ;)

Happy Fall

On By LeslieIn Papercraft8 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring Classic Linen, Curious Metallic and Pop-Tone cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Fall is my favorite time of year so I created a pretty Fall-themed card with a little sparkle to share with you today!

I cut a standard A2 sized top-folding card base from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. I cut all the layers and panels from Classic Linen Gold Pearl cardstock and Curious Metallic Chestnut cardstock, and adhered them together. I cut some embellishment strips and leaf die cuts from Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock and Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock.

I stamped and die cut more leaves and arranged all of them on the triangular panel. I stamped and embossed the sentiment and cut it with a stitched circle die. I layered the sentiment on a slightly larger orange stitched circle die cut and adhered it in the center of the leaves.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of the gold pearl and orange cardstock, stamped the sentiment and some additional leaves, and layered the panel on the chestnut cardstock.

And one more peek… absolutely loving how this turned out! I can’t say enough about this ah-maaaazing cardstock!

‘Just Be-Claws’ note card

On By LeslieIn CAS, Papercraft3 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a clean and simple note card with a beachy feel. Love me some note cards, and this would be a great one to mass produce to create a set to give as a gift!

I love super simple designs that pack a punch! I started by splattering white ink across the front of the card base with a fan brush to tie in the white sentiment strip. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip, then layered it on orange cardstock which I embellished with a strip of brown Glitter Skinny Washi Tape. I alternated the Crab & Lobster Brads on the left side of the sentiment and then adhered the strip to the card base.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of kraft and orange cardstock. Since this is a note card, I left the inside blank, leaving plenty of room to write a custom message.

And one more peek… just loving how this turned out! Aren’t these crabs and lobsters just the cutest?!

Steampunk

On By LeslieIn Papercraft5 Comments

Hi everybody! I’m back again today to share another sample I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Hochanda showcase! As I was watching the show, I took a screenshot of each project while Alex was holding them up for the viewers to see, so I’ll be sharing those in my posts. I have to admit, I love seeing my cards on TV, lol! ;)

I created this card in a brown, teal and navy blue color combo which screamed ‘steampunk’ to me. I don’t do a whole lot of steampunk crafting so I’m not really sure if there are any particular color combinations to use.

I used the very cool Steampunk Gears, Gears 2 and Steampunk Gears 3 clear stamp sets as well as the Steampunk Gears die set, and did a little masking which is always fun.

I die cut a bunch of gears and stacked them for some awesome dimension in the lower left corner. I attached the layers with small navy blue brads, and then layered the panel on navy blue cardstock.

I embellished the inside panel with a leftover strip of the trimmed stamped panel on the front which I complimented with brown and navy cardstock strips. I stamped the sentiment and cut it with a stitched rectangle die, and layered the panel on blue cardstock.

And one more peek… loving how this turned out despite the fact that I’m truly a steampunk novice, lol! ;)

Time For Fun

On By LeslieIn Fun fold, Papercraft4 Comments

Hi friends! Today is a sad day in American history as we remember all those who lost their lives on 9/11/2001 when America suffered a most horrific terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. May God continue to bless those families who lost loved ones. On a lighter and happier note, I’ve popped in this morning to share a sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps. Do you remember the ‘impossible card’ that swept the craft world a few years ago? Yep, I made a few of them – they are fun and super easy! I turned this one into a retirement card using the awesome Play Day on the Beach stamp set! I have to admit that I’m in full-on retirement mode since my official retirement date is in a few weeks! ;)

I cut the card base from light green cardstock and the layers from a textured teal cardstock to compliment the colors in the patterned paper. I stamped the image, colored it with Nuvo alcohol markers and cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I stamped the top sentiment on a scrap piece of white cardstock, trimmed it and flagged the ends with a small square punch. I cut the horizontal strips from a coordinating patterned paper and then the layers from the teal and light green cardstock. I stamped ‘Congratulations’ on the left end of the bottom strip, and added light green gemstones on the strips along with crab and lobster brads to tie in the beach theme.

And one more peek… this is such an interesting design that is super simple but packs a great punch!

love much & laugh often

On By LeslieIn Papercraft4 Comments

Hello again! I hope you’re having a great day! I’ve popped back in to share another sample I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps showcase on Hochanda last week. I used the Gears 2 clear stamp set along with the Steampunk Gears and Mini Gears die sets to create this awesome steampunk card. I have to say that this herringbone background is a super fun technique and I’ll definitely be doing this again! It’s time-consuming but SO worth it!

Once the herringbone background was complete and layered on textured brown cardstock, I adhered it to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, trimmed it and layered it on the brown textured cardstock.

I die cut a bunch of gears, covered them with Versamark and then with various colors of ‘metal’ embossing powders, then arranged them in layers on the card front, gluing them down as I went. I then tucked the sentiment in underneath and adhered it.

I created a smaller thinner herringbone panel which I layered on the textured brown cardstock and used to embellish the inside panel. I stamped the sentiment and layered that panel on the textured brown cardstock as well.

And one more peek… totally loving this card! And I’m not even a steampunk fan! The herringbone background really sets off the embossed gears, don’t you think?!

Here’s a screenshot I grabbed while Alex was holding this card up for the viewers to see which I thought I’d share! ;)

Happy Holidays

On By LeslieIn Papercraft, Slimline4 Comments

Happy Hump Day, my friends! I mentioned yesterday that the Prickley Pear Stamps showcase on Hochanda was last week so I’m sharing some of the samples I created for the show!

I used the Birdcage Winter 2 clear stamp set and the Birdcage die for this pretty slimline Christmas card in traditional red and green, featuring three circular frames with a bird on a branch in the center of each. I really enjoyed creating this card!

I cut a white slimline card base along with three 3″ square pieces of red glitter paper and adhered them to the card base. I cut three stitched mini scallop frames and two narrow strips of green embossed paper. I stamped three branches in green ink and three birds in red ink on white cardstock, and die cut the branches with a circle die and the birds with the corresponding bird die.

I adhered the circular branch die cuts behind the frames and adhered one to the center of each red glitter paper square. I adhered the narrow green embossed paper strips to the seams where the glitter paper squares meet. I popped each bird up on a foam square and adhered one to each branch, and then added tiny dots of Rouge Perfect Pearls. The final touch was stamping the sentiment in red ink on white cardstock, trimming it and flagging the ends, and adhering it to the center circle.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover pieces of the red glitter paper and the green embossed paper, added a die cut sentiment, and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out!

As I was watching the show, I took a screenshot of each project while Alex was holding them up for the viewers to see, so I’ll be sharing those with each post. ;)

Noah’s Ark

On By LeslieIn Papercraft3 Comments

Howdy peeps! Top of the morning to you! I’ve popped in this morning to share a sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps using the new Noah’s Ark stamp set! OMGoodness, this is THE most fun stamp set to play with – there are so many adorable elements! I haven’t done paper piecing in a while and thought this would be a fun stamp set to do that with! Lots of fussy cutting but definitely well worth it! ;)

Paper piecing is such a fun technique especially when creating a scene! I had a large time going through patterned paper finding just the right patterns to use for all the elements! I did accent a few of the animals with alcohol markers, and used a shimmer pen on the rainbow to add a bit of shimmer.

I embellished the inside panel with some of the green plaid paper used on the front and a thin strip of black cardstock, stamped the greeting and layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more look… I’m absolutely tickled with how this turned out!
