Love To Scrap 2

Glimmer & Glide, dragonfly

Hey everybody, I hope your week is going along nicely and you have time to do something fun! I’m back this morning with a super cute Keep It Simple project tutorial that I created for the How-To’s section on the KIS website. This faux narrow panel step card features papers and die cut pieces from our new Bugs collection. OMGosh, if you haven’t seen this collection yet, you are in for a major treat! It is so stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Keep It Simple website if you want more details on how I made this card. I cut the card base and faux narrow panel from 110# Solar White, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the 6×9 Bugs Collection Pack. I used the third smallest die in the KIS Cuts Stitched Scallop Circles to cut the focal panel from Solar White and then the fourth largest die in the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies to cut a layer from a patterned paper. I grabbed an assortment of die cuts from the Bugs Die Cut Pieces and a few Back To Basics Teal Enamel Dots to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a couple more die cuts.

Just Married 3D Pop-Up Vignette

Hi friends, a groovy Hump Day to you! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog with a fun wedding-inspired 3D pop-up vignette that folds flat for mailing. This would make a fun wedding keepsake! The Spellbinders/Amazing Paper Grace Pop-Up 3D Vignette Road Trip die set is one I’ve had for a bit and had never used, so I finally broke it out of it’s packaging and used it! You know me and how much I love assembling 3D projects… and admittedly this one was daunting because of the number of dies but was SO much fun! I used a nice variety of our cardstock to cut the (gazillion) pieces which I’ll list below. I added a sentiment/signature card affixed to the inside back with a magnet. Not sure who the recipient will be, I know without a doubt that they’ll love this!

If you’re interested, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog, as it goes into a tad more detail. I used the Spellbinders/Amazing Paper Grace Pop-Up 3D Vignette Road Trip die set and cut all the pieces from Stardream Metallic Bronze, Stardream Metallic Silver, Bright Silver Foil, Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White, Glama Kraft, Light Yellow, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Poodle Skirt, Pink Tutu, and Classic Crest 80# Solar White.

I assembled this project with Home Hobby by 3L Extreme 1/8″ Double-Sided Tape for the insert tabs on the sides along with the My Sweet Petunia Precision Glue Press with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I added tiny black gemstones on all the tiny flowers, and slightly larger ones on the Just Married plate on the back. I cut the bride and groom bodies from white cardstock and colored them with Copic Ciao skin colored marker. Also cut the back lights from white cardstock and colored those tiny pieces with a red marker.

This project has three inserts which allows it to fold flat for mailing. Here are shots of the back and an angled shot of the front with the little magnetic card I added which has room on the back to write a short custom message and sign. I have used assorted Ranger Letter It stamp sets (more neglected stuff in my stash, lol) for several projects lately, and used the Ranger Letter It Wedding stamp set for the sentiment on the little card, stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink. I love the fonts on these stamp sets!

Hi friends, I hope your week is starting off on a nice note and you are enjoying some pretty weather! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing an easy floral birthday card. And when I say ‘easy’ – I mean that literally! I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique on this card using the 3D Foam Butterflies (you know I love me some butterflies), and of course I assembled it using some of the best adhesives in the land!

I cut the top-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock. I trimmed a Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and pressed the floral image and sentiment into it using my BetterPress. I colored the image with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and adhered it to the card base using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using the 3D Foam Butterflies with purple mica powder along with a very light dusting of white mica powder on the wings. I sealed the butterfly with a light coat of clear satin urethane spray to ensure the mica powder wouldn’t rub off. I then stuck it to a small piece of acetate which I trimmed. I adhered the butterfly with both thin and regular 3D foam squares for some dimension. The final touch on the front was adding gemstones to the butterfly body and a few scattered on the background.

Using the Spellbinders Happy Birthday Glimmer Plate, I pressed the sentiment into another Spellbinders Cotton cardstock panel, once again using my BetterPress. I added the patterned paper embellishing strip to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. LOVE how this turned out – and it would be a good one to mass-produce in different colors to have extras in your stash!

Hey everybody – welcome to the middle of June…almost! Where did May go?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #358 – One For the Boys (or Men)! Father’s Day is approaching and this card is near and dear to my heart. My husband loves nothing more than fishing, and having grown up in Montana, he was a fly fishing fanatic in his younger years. I totally LOVE this interactive Fishing Twist Card from Cyndy G SVG!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cyndy G SVG Fishing Twist Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Orange Fizz, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Red Hot, Bright Silver Foil, and Rubber Ducky Yellow cardstock, along with Bazzill Marble cardstock and American Crafts POW! Cricket glitter paper.

I used the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the front and inside sentiments, stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves. The Spellbinders 3-in-1 Corner Notch Punch is one of my favorites for punching the corners to create a little interest.

And here is the best part of the card… the twist ‘n’ pop inside! Okay, I have a confession… me being the buzz-kill that I am, I just HAD to show my husband when I finished it! I couldn’t wait, lol! Of course, he thought it was very cool!

Hello Summer

06/13/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Any fun plans for the weekend? I’m sure I’ll be inside in the air conditioning crafting away… my most favorite thing to do! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with items in the June 2026 Scrapbooking Kit. You know I love shaped cards almost as much as fun folds, and this 10-minute shaped card features paper, a journaling card and a sticker from this month’s collection. Shaped cards can be made in literally any shape. I used the Emma Create-A-Card Dies from Crafter’s Companion because I love this shape!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock along with a slightly smaller panel from a print in the collection. Next, I cut a journaling card with an even smaller die in the set which I popped up on thin 3D foam squares for just a tad bit of dimension. The finishing touch was adding a few Stampin’ Up Rhinestone Basics Jewels.

The inside was just as simple – I cut a slightly smaller panel from the same print used on the front and then added an even smaller panel cut from 80# Solar White cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker and BOOM, that finished the card! So fun and easy!

Happy Wednesday, everybody – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today! This adorable spanner card features papers and die cut pieces from our new Adventure & Beyond collection. This collection is ‘beyond’ adorable (pun intended, lol) and really fits this fun fold to a T! So much fun packed into one little card!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Patriot Blue cardstock along with layering panels from the Adventure & Beyond 6×9 Collection Pack and CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Clear Vellum along with an acetate strip from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam Adhesive & Acetate Sheets. Then the fun began assembling and adding ephemera from the Adventure & Beyond Die Cut Pieces, popping some up on foam squares. I added a single Back To Basics Teal Enamel Dot to finish off the front.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added another couple die cuts from the Adventure & Beyond Die Cut Pieces, popping the star up on a foam square. Totally love how this turned out! Let me know if you’d like the instructions for this.

Happy Times & Sunshine

Hey everybody! It’s already Wednesday and I hope you’re having a great week! I have a fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the June 2026 Scrapbook Kit. This top-folding landscape A2 size card features papers and stickers from this month’s kit along with several die cut elements to get the recipient ready for some fun by the pool! This fun die set is a new one in my stash from Stampin’ Up and I just love it. I’ve trimmed down the size of the tote for a 2D version on this card. The sides extend outward a bit to create a 3D version of the tote which is also super cute and on my radar to make, so stay tuned! ;)

I used a CutCardStock 110# Solar White pre-scored card base which are so handy to have. I added a panel of striped paper from the kit and then fashioned a pool using another print and some Solar White cardstock. Then the fun began creating the tote, sunglasses, water bottle, lotion and sunscreen using the Stampin’ Up Notes & Totes die set. I used several prints from the kit along with some solid colors of cardstock (listed below) from my stash. I added all the elements to the card front, popping a few of them up on foam squares, and then added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of papers used on the front. I layered it on a Strawberry Cream panel and added another sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. I totally enjoyed putting this one together and love how it turned out!

Hey y’all, a very happy Tuesday to you! I hope your week has started off nicely and it’s not too hot (yet) where you are! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the June 2026 Scrapbook Kit. This is another version of the accordion diorama which features papers, a journaling card and stickers from this month’s collection. I have made several accordion diorama cards over the years and after seeing this one on Connie Stewart’s blog, I remembered it from years ago (possibly from Gina K Designs). So I found my handwritten instructions and gave it another go. So fun and easy!

I cut the card base from paper in the collection along with a background panel from another paper in the collection, and then cut a round aperture into the card base. I then cut a scalloped frame from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock using Keep It Simple stitched scallop and stitched circle dies. I originally cut the frame from white cardstock and thought it needed to be darker, so I cut a second one and adhered it over top the first.

I die cut the sentiment from a journaling card into a stitched circle which is seen through the aperture. I stuck a couple Love From Lizi green/gold pinstripe peel-off stickers down each side of the front and added some Stampin’ Up Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to finish off the front.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of coordinating paper in the collection along with a couple stickers from the sticker sheet. I’ve included an angled somewhat overhead shot so you can see the construction. I love how this turned out – it folds flat for mailing and stands nicely to display. As always, let me know if you’d like the instructions!

Hey everybody, happy Monday – I hope you had a good weekend! I have a pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the June 2026 Scrapbook Kit. Fun folds are my most favorite things to make and I think about them constantly. I saw one similar to this online recently and it looked easy, so I recreated it using papers and stickers in this months’ kit. I’m calling it a flat base gate fold because it has a scored gate fold piece adhered to a flat card base. I love this design and I see lots of these in my future!

I cut the flat card base and the gate fold piece from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Emerald Linen cardstock, along with layering panels from two prints in the collection. The focal point on the front is a sticker from the sticker sheet which I stuck to a piece of Classic Crest 110# Solar White and cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die. The finishing touch was adding a few white embellishments from the Stampin’ Up Natural Matte Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and affixed a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This was a fun one, and as always, if you’d like my instructions just let me know!

Hi friends! Happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one. I’m delighted to share that I was a Top 3 Winner over at Dragonfly Dreams a little while back and was invited to guest for an upcoming challenge, so here I am! The new challenge launched this morning and the theme is Masculine so a ‘rad’ Father’s Day card was definitely in order. I used the Stampin’ Up Custom Tee stamp set along with the T-Shirt Builder Framelits to make this CAS black and white card, and I love how it turned out! Sometimes less is definitely more… no bling or anything!

I cut a standard A2 size card base from 110# Solar White cardstock, rounded the lower right corner, and embellished it with Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dots Washi Tape. I cut a narrow strip of 80# Solar White, angled the ends, and adhered it across the center of the washi tape for a little interest.

I stamped the bow tie and T-shirt with sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black using the Stampin’ Up Custom Tee stamp set and then cut them with the T-Shirt Builder Framelits. I popped the bow tie up on a small foam square cut in half, and then popped the T-shirt up on larger foam squares. Super simple!

I used the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set to stamp the inside sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black.
