Beach Themed Peek-A-Boo Card

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? It’s definitely still warm enough to hit the beach and I have some great card inspiration for you today. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog with a tutorial for making an adorable beach themed peek-a-boo card featuring our Patriot Blue, Basis Blue, Glama Brown Kraft and Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Many years have gone by since I made this fun fold the very first time, and when I saw it several months ago on Lisa Curcio’s blog I was instantly inspired to make it again, but for another design team. So inspired that I had to make another one for this team, lol! It’s such a fun design, and despite it’s complex look, it’s really fairly simple.

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I cut the card base pieces from Patriot Blue and Basis Blue along with patterned paper layers cut from two coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped one of the sentiments on Glama Brown Kraft in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink. I used torn Glama Brown Kraft cardstock, Inspired by Stamping Seaside and Seaside Sentiments stamp sets, along with Eyelet Outlet brads to embellish the front.

I used torn Glama Brown Kraft cardstock, Inspired by Stamping Seaside and Seaside Sentiments stamp sets, along with Eyelet Outlet brads to embellish the inside as well. I did stamp and then heat emboss the inside sentiment in white using Brutus Monroe Alabaster White ink, clear embossing ink and Alabaster embossing powder. Totally LOVE how this turned out!

Hey everybody – happy first Friday in September! I hope you have something fun planned for this long Labor Day weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #364 – In Shape! We want to see your shaped card, so I played with my Cricut and the Simply Crafty SVGs Fan Finger SVG cut file, and made a card that could be used for a variety of occasions. This was an easy card to assemble and I like how it turned out!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Simply Crafty SVGs Fan Finger SVG cut file, I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Basis White and Flamingo cardstock along with a print in the Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Flip Sides Pack.

For the inside panel, I used the Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies to cut rectangles from Basis White and Flamingo, and adhered them together. I used the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set to stamp the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black and Catherine Pooler Polished inks. So what occasion would you send this kind of card for?

Hi friends – I hope you’re having a happy Thursday and you have something fun planned for the weekend! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today that makes me happy! I totally love lady bugs and this slider pop-up card (inspiration from Connie Stewart’s blog HERE) features papers and die cut pieces from our Bugs collection. Despite it’s complex look, it really is an easy card to make and is a great fun fold to show off images and papers. This is an absolutely adorable collection!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Bugs 12×12 Collection Pack and a sentiment panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I did use a Stampin’ Up oval punch to punch a ‘thumb notch’ in the sleeve (the element that allows the card to slide) along with a Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch to place beneath the shamrock as the stopper. I grabbed the Bugs Die Cut Pieces and used several images and sentiments to embellish the card. The finishing touch was adding some Back To Basics Mango Enamel Hearts.

Here is a side view so you can see the construction, and it folds flat for mailing! So stinkin’ fun… I love it!

Happy Birthday America

Howdy, peeps! It’s Thursday and I hope you’re having a good week! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! To commemorate America’s 250th birthday back on July 4th, I created a patriotic shaker tag card with a vertical split panel fold design that features papers and die cut pieces from our Stars & Stripes collection. I also used our new Tags #2 dies and a bunch of patriotic shaker bits from our Sprinkles line (as well as a few die cuts mixed in)! I love this fun fold, and the fact that it has a patriotic shaker tag on the front makes it even more fun!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with panels from assorted prints in the Stars & Stripes 6×9 Collection Pack. The shaker shows off seven varieties of our patriotic Sprinkles with a few Stars & Stripes Die Cut Pieces mixed in. I used the star dies in the KIS Cuts: Tags #2 set for the main shaker, as well as adhesive and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam Adhesive & Acetate Sheets.

I used the banner dies in the KIS Cuts: Tags #1 set to cut the three sentiment banners. I stamped two sentiments from the Back To Basics Happy Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Paris Dusk ink and the third sentiment from the Stars & Stripes Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink, and then attached them with a bulb safety pin from my stash. I threaded some of our Stars & Stripes Ribbon through the hole at the top and tied it with some white twine in my stash. Finally, I added a disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I die cut an additional star for the inside that I embellished with leftover pieces of the patterned paper in the Stars & Stripes Collection Pack. The sentiment is from the Stars & Stripes Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Paris Dusk ink.

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! Can you believe we’re on the down-slide into September?! Holy moly, where has this year gone? I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing some inspiration for a sweet (pun intended, lol) birthday card inviting the recipient to eat cake! I could go for that!

You know I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique and have featured it twice on this clean and simple card. I used the 3D Foam Cupcakes along with orange and red flock and brown glitter from my stash to create the focal image. I also used the 3D Foam Micro Squares White along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to create the little embellishments on the pinstripes. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I assembled the card with some of the best adhesives ever!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Classic Crest 80# Solar White and CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock. I chomped two corners of all the pieces with a Tonic Corner Punch and affixed two sets of diagonal stripes using Love From Lizi Orange/Gold Pinstripe Peel-Off Stickers. I adhered the lightweight Solar White panel to the orange panel using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips.

As mentioned above, I used the 3D Foam Cupcakes along with orange and red flock and brown glitter from my stash to create the cupcake focal point. I adhered some individual polymer clay mini pastel confetti sprinkles (from Keep It Simple) using the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Then I used the 3D Foam Micro Squares White along with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors to create the little embellishments on the pinstripes.

To complete the card front, I stamped a diagonal sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of Doodlebug Design patterned paper. I stamped another sentiment from the same Keep It Simple stamp set, and layered the panel on Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock.

hello friend

Happy Monday, everybody! The weekend sure went by fast and Monday got here in a hurry! I’ve popped in this morning with one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit. I love me a mini slimline, and the papers in this month’s collection made it super easy to recognize a friend for a wonderful achievement!

I cut my go-to size of 3-1/2” x 6” mini slimline card base from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I also cut a scalloped frame (using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Scalloped Edge die) from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Vista cardstock and a layering panel from a pretty geometric print in the collection. In our move last year, I ‘unearthed’ a package of silver foil adhesive transfers and used one of those for the front sentiment. I actually found several packages of these with different sentiments and this is the first one I’ve used. Oh geez… imagine that, lol! They are so cool because they don’t require heat – just good pressure with the Big Shot. The finishing touch on the front was adding a coordinating puffy sticker.

For the inside, I added a panel of Solar White cardstock embellished with an additional frame cut from the Vista cardstock and paper/cardstock strips. I stamped a congratulatory sentiment (from the Hero Arts It’s Our Anniversary stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Stone blue ink, and this fun card was complete.

Little Pleasures

Hi friends – I hope you are having a great weekend! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit. I squealed when I discovered this fun fold on Connie Stewart’s blog (HERE) because it’s a familiar one but I can’t remember where I originally saw it. She didn’t have a specific name for it so I’m calling it an accordion flap fun fold, and it features coordinating prints from the Pinkfresh Studio Ordinary Joys paper pack and the matching puffy stickers. There is no better way to recognize a ‘bookworm friend’  than to make a book-themed fun fold!
UPDATE: This card design is also known as a Z-fold double flap.

I cut the card base and flap element from Neenah Astro Designs kraft cardstock (bought on Amazon ions ago) along with layering panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock and coordinating prints in this month’s collection. I added a layered tag shaped element (cut from Keep It Simple Stitched Tag Dies) and a couple coordinating puffy stickers. I fashioned a brown and white gingham bow (from the Keep It Simple Kraft ribbon pack) which completed the card front.

For the inside of the flap element, I added a Solar White cardstock panel embellished with a scrap from the collection. I went on to add a Waffle Flower Cozy Subsentiment Die Cut and another puffy sticker, and this super cute card was complete. LOVE how it turned out – the neutrals look so good!

Hey y’all, happy weekend! How’s the weather where you are? It’s warm and muggy here and I’m ready for Fall… I believe I’ve said that a few times over the past couple months, lol! I have THE sweetest motivational card to share with you today for ScrapbookingStore using items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit. The prints in this collection are just gorgeous! Gatefolds are among my favorite fun folds to create, and having double gatefold card dies along with beautiful coordinating papers to pair with navy and white cardstock in my stash was definitely a plus!

Using the Creative Craft Products Double Gatefold Card Dies, I die cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from Solar White cardstock and a couple prints in the collection. I used a coordinating puffy sticker as the focal element on the front, anchoring it with a disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I added additional panels to the inside along with a motivational sentiment (from the Keep It Simple Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set) stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. And this sweet card was complete. So easy and makes such an impact!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re going to have some fun this weekend! I’m popping in this morning with a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the August 2026 Scrapbook Kit! The double pop-up card (inspired by Connie Stewart) has quickly risen to the top of my top ten favorite fun folds, so I’ve made another one! This new home card features papers from the Pinkfresh Studio Ordinary Joys paper pack along with coordinating puffy stickers. I love the color palette and prints in the paper pack this month, and feel like you just can’t go wrong with any type of card you create!

I cut the card base and pop-up elements from CutCardStock Basis Coral cardstock, which they sadly don’t stock anymore, but any coral color would work. I also cut layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and coordinating prints in the collection. Then the finishing touch to the front was adding a couple puffy stickers.

I chose several additional prints from the collection to layer onto the pop-up elements on the inside, and then added a few more puffy stickers, which completed the card. Love, love, love how this turned out! This paper pack is ah-mazing!

Route 66

Hi friends, a very happy Friday to you! How is the weather where you are? It’s pretty warm and somewhat humid here, and I have to say I’m ready for Fall! That didn’t take long, did it?! I’ve mentioned many times that I’m not a Summer weather person, lol! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #363 – Moving Along! We’d love to see your project depicting some sort of transportation, and remember to use wafer dies or an electronic cutting machine. This Route 66 Box Card SVG cut file from SVG Cuts was off-the-chain fun! OMGosh, I can’t even express how much I enjoyed making this! There is so much for the eyes to see!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Route 55 Box Card SVG cut file, I cut pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue, Lessebo Dawn Maroon, Lessebo Coffee Bean, Lessebo Salt Water Blue, and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Clear Vellum, along with Classic Crest Recycled Classic Natural White.

Also used an assortment of patterned papers – Crafter’s Companion Just for Men Urban Collection and Bright Collection 6×6 paper pads, Urban Style 4×8 design pad, and Studio Kitsch Souvenir digital papers printed on HP 32# copy paper. I pulled out RiverCity Rubber Works Postage Stamps rubber stamps to stamp a postmark in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the postage stamp, and used red gemstones and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots for embellishments.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail stamp set for the sentiment on the back. I cut the envelope from Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics 12×12 paper pad and used Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Power Tape on the flap with the liner left intact. My hubby turned 66 on his birthday a little while back (yes, I’m a cradle-robber, lol) and this was his birthday card. Needless to say, he loved it!
