Dream Big tag

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.

in a world full of Grinches

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you are doing something fun! I have THE cutest fun fold to share today for Keep It Simple! This Z-fold double flap features papers and die cut pieces from our new Merry Grinchmas collection – this collection is so stinkin’ fun I can’t even stand it! I mean, seriously… who doesn’t love the Grinch?! AND this card has a spinner element that takes it to the next level! I cannot remember where I originally saw this fun fold design but fairly recently ran across a similar version on Connie Stewart’s blog HERE.

I cut the card base and double flap element from CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot, along with laying panels from American Crafts Cricket Glitter Paper, Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and prints in the Merry Grinchmas 6×9 Collection Pack. I added die cuts from the Merry Grinchmas Die Cut Pieces, putting one of them on a Back To Basics Spinners. How fun is that?!

I cut the panel inside the double flap from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added a few more die cuts. Super simple design that really packs a punch!

Missing You

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a ‘missing you’ card in a bold and bright color palette. I used Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Bazzill Basics Peach, Lessebo Sunset Orange, Lessebo Bubblegum Pink, and Pink Tutu, along with 80# Solar White and a 110# Solar White pre-folded card base. These are not colors I would normally choose to work together (was aiming for matches to some pretty puffy floral stickers in my stash) but I think they absolutely DO work together!

As per the usual, I won’t go into a huge amount of detail, so if you want more info, be sure to check out my post on the CutCardStock blog. I cut 1/4″, 1/2″ and 3/4″ strips from each of the five colors and adhered them diagonally to an 80# Solar White panel. I added Love From Lizi Gold Moondust pinstripe peel-off stickers to the wider strips for a little interest. I affixed a Love From Lizi A Spot of Autumn Thicker Sticker to the lower right-hand corner and stamped a sentiment from the Hero Florals Rose Stem stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. The finishing touch was adding several Blush sequins from my stash.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and adhered a few leftover strips used on the front. I added Gold Moondust pinstripe peel-offs an a smaller Thicker Sticker to carry the design to the inside. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in the blue ink, leaving lots of room to write a custom message.

Flying by with a Halloween HI (two-fer)

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week and have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for #365 – Orange & Black! I created a circular easel card which turned into a ‘two-fer’ using the SVG Cuts Vintage Witch SVG cut file. One card is made with the regular cut file design and the other is made with the negative space pieces left on the mat which I held in place with Press ‘N Seal. Why not get two super cute cards out of the deal, right?!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Vintage Witch SVG cut file, I cut the focal image pieces from Pop Tone Orange Fizz and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I peeled the orange layer off the mat and held the negative space pieces in place with Press ‘N Seal to use for the second card. Next, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the American Crafts Halloween 6×6 paper pad, all using the KIS Cuts: Nested Stitched Scallop Circles. I grabbed my Stampin’ Up! 3/4″ circle punch and punched three circles from Celebration Warehouse Non-Shedding Orange Glitter cardstock to place behind the star apertures. I added a few clear gemstones to the background which completed the upper portion.

I felt like the bottom portion was a little too busy so I cut an additional scalloped circle from CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Clear Vellum which toned it down a good bit. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats stamp set, trimmed it and layered it on Pop Tone Black Licorice and the Orange Glitter cardstock. I popped it up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape to use as the stopper. Card #1 is complete, now on to card #2!

I cut a second card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Echo Park Spooky Collection Kit. I cut the plain background from the cut file a second time from the black cardstock, applied wet glue to the back of all the negative pieces on the Press ‘N Seal and adhered them in place. Once again, I punched three circles from Celebration Warehouse Non-Shedding Orange Glitter cardstock to place behind the star apertures, and added a few clear gemstones to the background which completed the upper portion.

As before, I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats stamp set, trimmed it and layered it on Pop Tone Orange Fizz and the Black Glitter cardstock. I popped it up on Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape to use as the stopper. These turned out so stinkin’ cute and they were so easy!

Howdy peeps! I hope you are having a great week and looking forward to doing something fun this weekend! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit – loving all the coordination between the travel-themed papers and stickers to the elements in the upgrades!

I created another version of the double flap fun fold. There are literally a gazillion versions of the double flap fun fold out there. Connie Stewart has two videos on her YouTube channel for this version – one from five years ago HERE and a live from last year HERE. I definitely recommend using a lighter weight double-sided paper for the folded card base rather than cardstock like I used on this one, as it made the card a bit too thick.

I used CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange for the folded card base, Papertrey Ink Canyon Clay for the card back and Papertrey Ink Americana for the small rectangle on the front. All the patterned paper layers were cut from prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added an epoxy sticker from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades to the front along with a sticker from the sticker sheet which I popped up on a foam square. I added a few more stickers from the sticker sheet to the striped double flap panel.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover plaid strip used on the front triangle panels. I added a couple more stickers from the sticker sheet which completed this cute card.

The Adventure Begins

Hi friends – I hope your week is plugging along nicely and you’re seeing some decreased temps. Fall begins on the 22nd and I’m SO ready! I’m back today with a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I absolutely love the travel theme and papers/elements in this month’s kit, so I thought another burst fun fold was in order! You may remember the previous one I created HERE where I described the two different versions I’d seen. I’ve since created yet another one for another design team that hasn’t been showcased yet, so stay tuned!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added stickers from the sticker sheet along with epoxy stickers from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers and labels from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Neutral Labels – both from the upgrades.

I cut the sentiment panels on the back from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added another sticker from the sticker sheet, and this fun travel-themed card was complete!

Not all those who wander are lost

Hey everybody – wishing you all a terrific Tuesday! I have another fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving all the coordinating items in this kit! Inspiration for this W pop-out card came from Connie Stewart’s blog (post HERE) which I put my own twist on by folding the front flap backwards and leaving the W on the outside so it’s literally the star of the show. What do you think? You’ll need to look at Connie’s to see the comparison. I do plan on making this one again in the same fashion Connie made hers, so stay tuned. ;)

I cut the card base and W element from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I added some stickers from the sticker sheet along with an epoxy sticker from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades. Here’s a slightly overhead shot so you can see the construction.

I added a small stitched rectangle die cut for the signature area, and this super cute card was finished. Such a fun design!

Friend

Hi friends, happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a good week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog sharing a tutorial for a swirly circles thank you card. Have you ever heard of a swirly circles card element? It’s a fun one to make and gives the optical illusion of a spinning spiral! We have a couple NEW Scrapbook Adhesives products that we’re showcasing. We now carry 3mm thick foam squares and strips in white and black! Very excited to share this project using 1mm, 2mm and 3mm white foam squares, along with 3mm white foam strips and holographic transfer foil! You know I absolutely love the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to know more. I used CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue and Stardream Metallic Neptune cardstock, along with Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage 6×9 Papers. The swirly circles element was created using the Fiskars 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2″ circle punches, and the Stampin’ Up! 2″ circle punch.

The sentiment stamp is from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears stamp set, stamped in Catherine Pooler Bay Breeze ink, and cut with a Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears die. I used Cottage Cutz Garden Stems dies, My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Basic Edges 2 dies, and Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears dies. I assembled the card with E-Z Runner Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser along with Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a floral strip cut from an additional print in the Keep It Simple Cheerful Cottage 6×9 papers. I stamped another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Pears stamp set in the Bay Breeze ink, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. I really love how this turned out!

Happy Campers

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the September 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The papers in this month’s kit are uber amazing! So I tried a new fun fold I’ve not seen before – a gatefold pop-out card – and my inspiration came from Connie Stewart’s blog (post HERE). I love her whimsical personality, and her videos are so fun! If you’ve never watched her and you want to have a good time crafting, check her out! Not to mention she loves fun folds like I do and creates some really awesome cards!

I cut the gatefold card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Granite Gray cardstock along with layering panels and the belly band from coordinating prints in the Simple Stories Open Road 12×12 Collection Kit. I used stickers from the sticker sheet for the sentiment and focal image on the belly band, and added an epoxy sticker sentiment from The Paper Studio Stick-a-bilities Travel Epoxy Stickers in the upgrades to the bottom of the right-hand gatefold panel.

I cut the inside pop-out panel from white cardstock, layered it on a panel cut from a print in the collection, and embellished it with a leftover scrap from the print used for the belly band. I added more stickers from the sticker sheet and another epoxy sticker from the upgrades.
