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!

it’s time for a Getaway

Happy weekend, everybody! I hope you have something fun planned! I have a super sweet Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today–a shaped card featuring the new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Ovals dies. Also used our stitched ovals nested dies as well as papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces from our Wander collection, one of my favorites. This is such a fun design that can be tailored to any occasion or holiday, and in any color combo!

The KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Ovals dies are large, so I pulled out my over-sized die cutting machine and cut the base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White along with some layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Coral cardstock and an assortment of prints from the Wander 12×12 Collection Pack. I grabbed a sentiment from the Wander Die Cut Pieces which I adhered with foam squares. The finishing touch to the front was adding a bow fashioned from Back To Basics Mango Ribbon and several Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots.

I cut two more half-scallops from the Coral and Solar White cardstock (using the same set of dies and my large die cutting machine) for the inside and embellished it with a strip of the striped paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Wander Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Sauna and Orange Peel inks (using the rock-and-roll technique), and cut it with the coordinating Wander Outline Die.

Heartfelt Condolences

Hey everybody – I hope you’re having a beautiful week and your temps are increasing… just a little bit anyway! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a beautiful sympathy card. Let’s face it – the average crafter does not find this type of card easy to make. Many people believe that cardinals symbolize the presence of lost loved ones, especially when grieving. When I found this SVG cut file from SVG Cuts featuring a cardinal, I knew I had to make it into a sympathy card. And, of course, I used a few of the most awesome adhesives to put it together!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Cardinal Crate Box Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from a large variety of cardstock from CutCardStock (along with prints from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad) which I’ve listed below. I made several changes to this file. I believe it was intended to be a Winter-themed card, and since I was making a sympathy card I omitted the greenery with the berries and cut extra pieces for the remaining greenery. I also made the second and third inserts flat instead of shaped so the white cardstock wouldn’t show through the greenery.

I used two coordinating floral papers from the The Paper Shelter Tattered and Worn 12×12 Paper Pad for the flap on the front and the envelope. I ran the crate panels through the Big Shot in the Crafter’s Companion Wood Grain embossing folder. I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen and E-Z Dots Permanent Refillable Dispenser for the assembly of the card base and inserts. I added a white twine bow and flower embellishment to the front flap, and affixed the flap with 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Heartfelt Condolences stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on the sentiment panel and popped it up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix. I’ve included a shot of the flattened card on the envelope; it’s a big one! This would definitely need to be mailed in a padded envelope for protection if it was not going to be hand-delivered. I really love how this turned out and would hope the recipient finds it comforting!

fun in the sun

Hey everybody, happy Friday! With all the warm-weather projects I’m seeing around blogland and on the socials, I think just about everybody is ready for the cold weather to go away. Seems like Winter has just lingered, hasn’t it?! I’m delighted to share this interior stair step card with you today for Keep It Simple! This is another fun fold that I saw on Connie Stewart’s blog and it is indeed a fun one. It features papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from the new Summer Penguins collection! Talk about C-U-T-E… and needless to say, I had fun creating this little beach scene!

I cut the card base and components from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Summer Penguins 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped several images from the Summer Penguins Collection Stamps on patterned paper and several on Solar White which I colored with Copics and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I built the sandbar with papers from the Back To Basics 6×9 Kraft Collection Pack, and the shoreline with paper from the same collection and the Back To Basics Wavy Borders Dies. As I added the elements to the card front, I popped several of them up with foam squares.

For the inside, I used additional papers from the Back To Basics Kraft 6×9 and Summer Penguins 6×9 Collection Packs. I grabbed a couple waves from the Summer Penguins Die Cut Pieces Megapack, and added a stamped sentiment and crab from the Summer Penguins Collection Stamps which I cut with the Summer Penguins Outline Dies. Super easy card that really packs a punch!

Colorful Mini Tag Flip

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a mini tag flip featuring layered and decorated tags. These are perfect for tweens and grown-ups alike! I used a variety of our cardstock, which I’ll list below. Most people make these to swap or just to give as a fun gift. It’s not your typical mini album although the tags can have pockets and areas for photos and journaling. This one actually includes one tag with a pocket and tiny journaling card. This is the first one of these I’ve made and I can SO see another collection brewing, lol! So fun!

The first order of business was to add jump rings to the pom-pom and butterfly charm. I made the tassel from yellow hemp cord in my stash, and added a ring to that as well.

Then the fun began making all the tags. Using the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip die set, I die cut a bunch of tags, bows, flowers and rosettes from Lessebo Sweet Mint and Amazon Dark Teal, Pop Tone Grapesicle and Banana Split, Royal Sundance Burgundy Linen, Textured Pearl Green Curry, Bright Gold Foil and 80# Solar White. Then I cut more tags from the Fancy Pants Designs Bloom 12×12 double-sided papers. The Coco & Reno dies came in a kit along with Fancy Pants Designs Bloom double-sided papers, cardstock and foam stickers, enamel dots, and dangle embellishments. I punched circles for the centers of the rosettes, and used enamel shapes, gemstones and pinstripe peel-off stickers from my stash.

Here are the first four tags.

And here are the other four tags. I cut more pieces than I needed and was able to make eight additional tags for another mini tag flip, plus I have lots of extra die cuts to make more tag embellishments for future projects. Win-win!

Hey Girl Hey

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great weekend and doing something fun! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a tall tented easel card. I used some fun papers, stamps and dies in my stash for this delightful friendship card. I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the banner and the glittery lines across the base, and of course, used some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together!

I’ve made quite a few tented easel cards over the years but this is the first tall one I’ve made. I had to tweak the measurements a bit to make it taller so the banner would fit above the bird. Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to learn how to make this taller version. I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix, 3D Foam Squares White Mix and Dual Tip Glue Pen for the assembly.

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Basis 12×12 Aqua cardstock along with layering panels from a print in the Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Vivid Double-Sided 6×6 Paper Pad. The image and sentiments are from the Prickley Pear Stamps Hey Girl Hey stamps and dies, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored with a variety of markers.

I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique to create the banner using the 3D Foam Pennants and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, along with 3D Foam Micro Squares and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors for the tiny embellishments beside the letters on the pennants. I also used Adhesive Lines and diamond glitter in my stash for the lines across the base which are kind of hard to see in the photos but really add some pretty sparkle.

The inside sentiment panel was cut from Solar White cardstock and another sentiment from the Hey Girl Hey stamp set was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added an embellishing strip with the glittered lines to the top of the panel to match the base. I’ve included one final side shot so you can see the cool construction. I love how this turned out!
