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. 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!

Bee you tiful

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a Terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in to share one more booth sample I created for Keep It Simple. I’ve made several shaped cards and a fun fold featuring some of our older die sets used with some of our newer collections, and posted the other four a few days ago, pointing everyone to the KIS Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March.

So this last sample is a shaker (who doesn’t love shaker cards?!) and it features our KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies along with papers and die cut pieces from the Life Is Sweet collection. Today is the last day of National Craft Month and this card, along with several other shaker projects my fellow DT members made, is being used in the shaker Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram. Be sure to check it out – there’s a whole lotta fun in all of our shaker projects!

I cut the card base from 110# Solar White along with all the other pieces for this shaped shaker card from assorted prints in the Life Is Sweet 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. I grabbed some die cuts from the Life Is Sweet Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. To create the shaker, I used acetate from our Shaker Basics line, foam strips from our Adhesive Basics line, and a variety of Sprinkles for the shaker mix.

I embellished the inside with a couple more pieces cut with the Freshly Brewed dies a couple more die cut pieces. So stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it! LOVE how this turned out!

Viking Adventure

Hey everybody! Alright, I’m back with the last of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this super cute triangle accordion card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Vikings collection. I will point out that this version does not have the pocket feature that can be added with the die set.

Using the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Vikings 6×9 Collection Pack. This one was really fun embellishing with Die Cut Pieces from the Vikings Collection. I added several Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dots to finish off the front.

I also added several die cuts and a trimmed sentiment from the cut-apart sheet to the inside. The triangular sentiment panel was cut from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock. This is the version I mentioned above that does not have the pocket feature – it’s just a flat sentiment panel. Love this! So stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it!

Howdy peeps! I’m back with the third of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable vintage truck shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the Back To Basics Vintage Truck dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Barnyard Bliss collection.

Using the Back To Basics Vintage Truck dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock by placing the die slightly above the fold line on the cardstock so the card base wouldn’t be cut in two. I cut all the pieces for the truck from assorted prints in the Barnyard Bliss collection and the Back To Basics Kraft and Black & White 6×9 Collection Packs. Then the fun began adding all the sweet little critter die cut pieces which I popped up in varying degrees with foam squares. I used Back To Basics Ruby Enamel Dots for the tail lights.

I used a Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Die to cut the sentiment panel from CutCardStock Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock, and stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink.

Hey everybody! Okay, this is the second of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable party dress shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the Back To Basics Party Dress dies along with papers, stamps and dies from our Cheerful Cottage collection.

Using the Back To Basics Party Dress dies, I cut the card base from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock and all the pieces of the party dress from a gorgeous floral print in the Cheerful Cottage collection. Adhering the pieces is like putting a puzzle together – so much fun! I used the Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch to layer the gold flower on which I embellished with a Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dot. The sentiment is from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set which I trimmed and added with foam squares.

I layered a pink plaid print from the Cheerful Cottage collection on the inside. A Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Die was used to cut the sentiment panel, and the sentiment is another one from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I totally love how this turned out!

Hi friends! This is the first of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable camper shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the KIS Cuts Camper dies along with papers, stamps and dies from our Wander collection.

I LOVE making shaped cards and this was so easy using the KIS Cuts Camper dies. Just position the base die slightly off the card base fold so it’s not cut in two. Then I cut all the pieces from coordinating prints in the Wander 12×12 Collection Pack and a black print in the Back To Basics Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the sentiment from the Wander Collection Stamps in black ink and cut it with the coordinating Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from the black print in the Black & White Collection Pack and added a stitched circle cut from Solar White cardstock using the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies. The inside sentiment is also from the Wander Collection Stamps.

Keep It Simple Die Cutting Tips & Tricks for National Craft Month

Hi friends, happy weekend! It has turned rather chilly here once again after having several sporadic days of nice (fake) Spring weather. Mother Nature thinks she’s being funny, I guess. Several weeks ago my mojo was in overdrive and I made several extra cards for Keep It Simple to use as booth samples at the expos. These cards feature some of our older die sets used with some of our newer collections. So, to commemorate National Craft Month in March, Keep It Simple did a die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram, and four of my cards were used. How fun is that?!

If you missed this feature last weekend, click on the screenshot above to check it out! Feel free to join in with your die cutting tips! I’m posting all of my cards here with individual links to each one in a separate post because I’d like to enter them into some challenges. They all turned out so cute and I wanted to share them!
