SPRING: A Whole Lot Of Happy

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend and enjoying some beautiful weather! It has been a bit rainy here so I’ve enjoyed being inside creating Spring-themed cards! So that means I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the April 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m totally loving this month’s kit! This card is a double Z gate fold that I saw on Connie Stewart’s blog, and it’s definitely a fun one!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Twine cardstock and layered a pretty floral print from this month’s collection on the front along with a slightly smaller layered piece in the center featuring square blocks (punched with the EK Success 1″ square punch) for the sentiment. I added chipboard letters from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Chipboard Alphabet in the upgrades along with floral stickers from the sticker sheet which I tucked under the corners of the blocks. The finishing touch on the front was adding a chipboard sentiment from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Chipboard Embellishments in the upgrades.

I kept the inside fairly simple, just adding a couple stickers from the sticker sheet and a die cut sentiment from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Diecut Cardstock Sentiments in the upgrades. I’ve included an additional overhead shot so you can see the fun construction of this card. Totally love it!

Hello Spring fun fold

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I have another awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the April 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m calling this fun fold an anchored swing flap which is a variation of the regular swing flap fun fold that I’ve been making over the years. The papers and elements in this kit are absolutely amazing and I’m really enjoying making these Spring-themed cards!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock and then cut a rectangular aperture into the front flap using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die. I reserved the stitched rectangle die cut to use for the focal image. I then added a green glitter panel (cut from American Crafts POW Cricket Glitter paper) just prior to adhering the focal image which I trimmed from a journaling card in the kit. I added a chipboard sentiment from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Chipboard Embellishments in the upgrades along with a few gold pearls, which completed the card front.

I cut the swing flap panel on the inside from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from prints in the collection and a sticker, along with another chipboard sentiment from the upgrades. I’ve included an additional image from overhead so you can see the U shape of the anchored swing flap which is the difference between the regular swing flap fun folds you’ve seen me make over the years.

Happy Everything

Hey everybody, happy Friday – I hope you’ve had a good week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a mini slimline card featuring an upcycled tissue box panel. I’ve used these many times over the years because I can’t resist some of the pretty patterns on them! If you know me and my ‘paper hoarding’ nature, you’ll find that hilarious. There’s enough patterned paper here to stock a store so I really don’t need to find substitutions! Our Lessebo Navy Blue, Dolphin Gray, and Bright Silver Foil compliment the tissue box panel very nicely. Also used Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White for the inside panel.

I won’t go into a lot of detail so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. This is my go-to 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline size because it fits nicely in a #6-3/4 size commercial envelope. The card base was cut from Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock. The tissue box panel is layered on Bright Silver Foil cardstock and then on Dolphin Gray cardstock. I used the CUTplorations Happy Everything die (from STAMPlorations) layered a couple times for dimension. I finished off the front with several Eyelet Outlet silver glitter enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover piece of the tissue box. I layered both pieces on the Dolphin Gray cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Memento Paris Dusk ink. That’s it… easy peasy mini slim!

Today is a great day to smile

Hi friends, I hope your week is clicking along at a nice rate and you’re enjoying some nice weather! It has been kind of rainy here but at least Spring does finally appear to have sprung, lol! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the April 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I am loving all the pretty papers and coordinating elements in the upgrades in this month’s kit. I recently saw this expanding panel card on Lisa Curcio’s blog which is actually another type of Z-fold, and I love it! Love it so much that I’ve made a couple of them!

I cut the two card base panels from Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock and layered a pretty pink plaid paper from this month’s collection on the front panel. I added a decorative rectangle cut with a Pinkfresh Studio Rounded & Braided Rectangles die from Classic Linen 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a fussy-cut flower from one of the journaling cards in the kit.

I added a die cut sentiment from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Diecut Cardstock Sentiments in the upgrades which I popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares. The finishing touch on the front was adding clear iridescent gemstones around the rectangle die cut.

I cut the expanding panel on the inside from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from prints in the collection, along with a chipboard piece from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Chipboard Embellishments and a couple die cuts from Rosie’s Studio Frolic Diecut Cardstock Sentiments in the upgrades. I’ve included an additional overhead shot so you can see the fun construction. It really IS just another type of Z-fold, lol! So easy!

Set of 4 Easter ATCs

Hey everybody, top of the day to you – we’re on the downslide to the weekend! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the April 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. There are lots of whimsical and playful prints accompanied by a page of matching stickers, so there is something in this kit for any kind of project you want to make! The kit is an adorable Easter-themed collection this month and since Easter has passed, I created one Easter project and three Spring-themed projects. So here is the first project – a set of four Easter-themed ATCs (two cards and two coins)!

It’s been a minute since I created any ATCs and these were so much fun even though I feel like I cheated somehow by only using paper and stickers, lol! I cut two cards at the standard ATC size of 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” from 165# Double-Thick Solar White and rounded the four corners. I then used my Fiskars 2-1/2” round punch for the two coins (also cut from the 165# Double-Thick Solar White). I selected an assortment of papers from the collection to adhere to the cards and coins, and then embellished each one with stickers from the sticker sheet. I stuck several of the stickers on white cardstock and either die cut or trimmed around them, and popped a few of them up on foam squares. I also used some washi tape from my stash.

Here are individual shots of each ATC. They are super simple and turned out so cute!

rise & shine

Hey everybody, happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Sweet Spring collection. This is indeed a great collection, and if you’re longing for ‘real’ Spring like the rest of us, you’ll love this! It’s been a minute since I made a corner fold like this one; in fact, this version is one of the first fun folds I ever made way back in the day so it’s near and dear to my heart!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Sweet Spring 12×12 Collection Pack. I chopped off the top right corner and glued it flat rather than scoring and bending it. I’ve done this a number of times to reduce bulk with thicker cardstock and always love how clean it looks.

I stamped several images from the Sweet Spring Collection Stamps on 110# Solar White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I stamped them a second time in Versafine Onyx Black ink to get good crisp lines and then cut them with the coordinating Sweet Spring Outline Dies. I added details with a Sakura White Gelly roll pen and then adhered them to the card front. I glued some of them flat and popped some of them up on foam squares of varying thicknesses. I stamped a sentiment and fussy cut it, and then added Back To Basics Clear Enamel Dots to the flower centers.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and cut it off at an angle. I stamped another sentiment and image from the Sweet Spring Collection Stamps and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Happy Birthday candle card

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute birthday candle card that would be great for the young and old alike. I’ve made a few of these in the past (inspiration for the faux quilt design from Splitcoast Stampers HERE) but I made this one a little different. I used an older paper pack in my stash as well as die cut pieces and stamps/dies from the Happy Birthday collection at Keep It Simple. And, of course, I used some of the most awesome adhesives ever made to put it together!

I won’t go into a bunch of detail here, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you’d like to see how I made it. I cut the candles from strips of blue, orange, red and green patterns in the Darice Dots and Stripes 6×6 paper pack that I had applied to Adhesive Sheet. I used a small Hero Arts Rounded Jewels infinity die for the flames which I colored with Copics and popped up on Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I used a 110# Solar White pre-folded card base from CutCardStock and popped the front panel up on Crafty Foam Tape. As mentioned above, the sentiment is from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection which I cut with the coordinating die. I added a few Freckled Fawn enamel shapes to finish off the card front. I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser for the layer construction and the Dual Tip Glue Pen for adding the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a wide strip of the red paper used for a couple candles on the front, and layered it on CutCardStock Mantis Green. I added another stamped and die cut sentiment along with a cake die cut piece (from the same Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection) using the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

I LOVE EWE

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a great week! I have a super cute and very easy project to share for Keep It Simple today! I made this simple pillar card for the How-To’s section on the website, and it features primarily papers and die cut pieces from our new-ish Barnyard Bliss collection. I know there are lots of crafters out there who make fun folds all the time (I’ll raise my hand), and on the flip side of that, there are many who have never attempted to make one at all due to sheer intimidation. I would love to change that! My tutorial for this fun fold will help guide anyone reading it through the ins and outs of making this easy card, so be sure to check it out!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a plaid print (in the Barnyard Bliss collection), CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and 80# Solar White. I grabbed several die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection to embellish both sides, popping a few of them up on small and large 1mm foam squares from the Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips. I stamped a sentiment from the KIS Sentiment Stamps Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, which completed the card.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction – and it folds flat for mailing! I’d love to know if you make one. If you’ve never attempted a fun fold before, you’ll make yourself proud!

Get Well Cards with Phantom Die Cutting

04/15/26 Top 3 Honor at Word Art Wednesday!

Hi friends – happy Friday! Hopefully you’re finally seeing a hint of Spring where you are and perhaps have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a set of four get well cards featuring the old technique of phantom die cutting. You may have more recently heard this technique referred to as the eclipse technique. It’s super simple and yields an awesome 3D effect to the sentiment on your card front. I used a variety of our cardstock (which I will list below) that I paired with a digital paper in my stash. I have so many digital papers and hardly ever tap into them.

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I printed one of the papers from the Art For Cards Lime Showers pack (from My Scrap Chick) on 80# Solar White and cut it into quarters. Yes, one sheet made four beautiful cards! Then I cut layering panels from Textured Pearl Hummingbird Teal, Lessebo Salt Water Blue, Aqua and Pop Tone Limeade cardstock.

I used the CUTplorations hugs die (from STAMPlorations) and two layers of 165# Solar White cardstock to get the raised 3D effect. I used Scrapbook Adhesives adhesive sheet for several steps which was a huge time saver. I really dislike dabbing tiny spots of glue on the back of small die cuts, lol! The panels were put on 80# pre-folded Solar White card bases (another huge time saver) and I added Eyelet Outlet Teal, Aqua Glitter, Blue and Green Enamel Dots to finish off the card fronts.

I used Pop Tone Black Licorice and 80# Solar White panels on the inside. The sentiment is from Ranger Letter It Occasions clear stamps, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of one of the cards (they are all the same), so here is a shot from my tutorial.

Happy Birthday shaker

04/04/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Howdy peeps, happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles. I also used papers, stamps and dies from our Happy Birthday collection and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line to make this super cute birthday shaker! I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

Our new nested stitched scallop dies are large, so I pulled out my oversized die cutting machine and cut a large scallop square (from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares) from Solar White cardstock, scored it, and folded it in half. I grabbed a scallop rectangle die from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles and cut two from coordinating prints in the Happy Birthday collection. I cut a rectangular aperture in the yellow one with a Back To Basics Nested Stitched Rectangles Die and made a shaker.

I used acetate and foam strips from our Back To Basics line along with Polymer Clay Mini Pastel Confetti, Polymer Clay Rainbow Mix Hollow Circles, Sequins Arctic Hearts, and 2mm Beads Pearls for the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Happy Birthday Collection Stamps, colored the images with a variety of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and the same yellow print used on the front, and added stamped and die cut sentiments and an image colored with markers. Such a fun card to make!
