Dad we love you

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Father’s Day shirt card. Father’s Day will be here in a few weeks and I thought I’d break out my own shirt card design again this year. Don’t groan because I know I inundated you with shirt cards last year, in several different designs besides my own and for several different occasions! Bahahaha! But this one is a little different in that it showcases the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique known only to Scrapbook Adhesives! And, of course, I used a few more of their amazing adhesives to put it together.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how it is made. That is, if you didn’t grab the instructions last year, lol! I used CutCardStock Sandcastle and Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock along with a masculine plaid print from the Craft Consortium Tartan 6×6 double-sided paper pad.

The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique came into play with the buttons. I pressed the bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors onto the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix (after removing the liner) to create the buttons. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp and die set.

I cut the inside panel from the Sandcastle cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green. I embellished the panel with some the plaid used to make the shirt and stamped another sentiment, this one from the Brutus Monroe Super Sentimental stamp set.

Materials Needed:
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®
E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser
Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix
Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors
3D Foam Circles Black Mix

Dual Tip Glue Pen

Psalm 147:4

Hey everybody, I hope your week is rolling along nicely! Can you believe we’re nearing the end of May already?! As mentioned a couple weeks ago, I was invited to guest design for Word Art Wednesday. Their challenges are every two weeks, so I’m back with another beautiful scripture to incorporate into my project. Newton’s Nook is the sponsor for Anything Goes – Weeks 754-755. This scripture teaches that God knows each and every person by name and he has immense love for the brokenhearted and those with personal struggles and anxiety. I made a ‘thinking of you’ card, and since I always love a shaped card, that’s the direction I took. And keeping in line with the scripture, I added some die cut stars as well.

Using the Crafter’s Companion Die’Sire Ruth Create-A-Card dies, I cut the card base and layering panels from Classic Crest Patriot Blue cardstock and a pretty plaid print from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit. I printed the scripture on 80# Solar White cardstock and cut it with a smaller die in the card die set. I added several stars (cut with the KIS Cuts: Stitched Stars) which I cut from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Visa and a scrap of the Patriot Blue. I did pop the large one up on a Scrapbook Adhesives Thin 3D Foam Square.

Using the same card die set, I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and stamped a sentiment from the KIS Sentiment Stamps: Sunshine & Rainbows in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I added a few more die cut stars which completed the card. LOVE how this turned out!

dream BIG little one

Hi friends, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a great one! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today… a super cute star shaker card featuring our new KIS Cuts: Stitched Stars dies, an assortment of 12×12 papers from our Back To Basics line, Little Dreamer 6×9 papers and die cut pieces, Floral Baby Land Babies stamps and dies, and some pretty Sprinkles! To say this was FUN is an understatement… who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

I cut the top-folding square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. Using a Stitched Star die, I cut an aperture into the plaid panel. I then cut a frame from a paper in the Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack using that same die and one slightly larger.

I used adhesive strips and acetate to create the shaker, filling it with beads and polymer clay Sprinkles. I also cut a bunch of tiny stars (using the smallest Stitched Star die) from green, pink, yellow, lilac and blue papers in the 12×12 Collection Packs listed below which I included in the shaker filler. Lastly, stamped a sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Floral Baby Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of paper from the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps and cut it with the coordinating die. The final step was adding a star die cut from the Little Dreamer Die Cut Pieces. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Herringbone Bookmark

Hi everyone, happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend… Mondays sure roll around quickly these days, don’t they?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a herringbone bookmark. I used Lessebo Pitch Black along with Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White cardstock, for a timeless black and white monochromatic color combo.

I found an old paper pack in my stash with all black/gray/white patterns that I wanted to use. Plus it’s been a while since I’ve made a bookmark (or a herringbone background), so I thought what the heck, let’s make one using black and white cardstock along with this paper pack. The herringbone design for backgrounds is really fun and easy, I’ve got some more good card design ideas floating around in my head using this design, so stay tuned!

Not going into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I cut the bookmark and one extra top piece from Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock and used the Stampin’ Up scalloped tag topper punch on both pieces. I created the herringbone pattern with strips of patterned paper from the Docrafts Papermania Capsule Collection. I stamped/heat embossed a simple sentiment, flicked gesso and water over the top piece, and added a horizontal paper strip. I threaded some Keep It Simple Back to Basics Black and White gingham ribbon through the hole and tied it with a piece of Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I added a panel of Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White to the back of the bookmark, rounded the bottom corners, and inked the edges with Ranger black soot distress ink. I thought it might be fun to write a personal note on the back for the recipient.

La Vie En Rose

Hey everybody, hope you’re enjoying some pretty weather! It’s gorgeous here and not too awfully warm yet. I’m thrilled to share this Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. It’s been a minute since I created a rocker card, and this one features our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Circles along with papers and die cut pieces from our new La Vie En Rose collection. I absolutely love this collection as it has a real vintage-y vibe to it.

La Vie En Rose is a French phrase meaning “life in pink” or “life through rose-colored glasses”. It represents an optimistic, romantic, and blissful outlook on life where one sees the world as beautiful, carefree, and filled with love. What better way to wish someone a happy birthday!

Using the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Circles, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with half-scallop layering panels from coordinating prints in the La Vie En Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I went to town adding ephemera from the La Vie En Rose Die Cut Pieces, including a tag on which I tied some of our Back To Basics Jute Twine. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Ruby Enamel Dots.

I cut a half-scallop panel for the inside which I embellished with more die cut pieces. Love, love, love how this one turned out!

Geometric-inspired thank you card

05/16/26 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody – I hope your Friday is totally amazing! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a geometric-inspired thank you card featuring rounded jewels shapes and shiny bronze embellishments created with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors and 3D Foam Circles White Mix. By now you know that I love the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique and use it on quite a few of my projects these days. It’s such a simple process that really adds a lot to a design. And I used a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to put this card together. Definitely could be used for a male or female thank you, don’t you think?

I cut the card base and front layering panel from Neenah Classic 100# Linen Solar White cardstock. I used CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange, Pitch Black, Brick Orange and Sunflower Yellow for the geometric shapes, all cut with two sizes of Hero Arts Rounded Jewels Infinity Dies. I popped the small ones up on 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors along with 3D Foam Circles White Mix. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Paper Crafts Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, and then adhered the panel to the card base with Crafty Foam Tape. I do love the dimension this gives.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and layered it on Lessebo Pitch Black and then Lessebo Sunset Orange. The E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser was used to adhere these layers. To carry the design to the inside, I adhered two die cuts with the Dual Tip Glue Pen and added a couple more bronze embellishments. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink, and this completed the card.

Hey everybody – happy Fri-YAY! I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #356 – Flowers! I’ve used another Dreaming Tree SVG cut file, and this one is the Sunny Card from the Le Chapeau SVG Bundle. As the theme suggests, show us your flowers! I have SO MANY cut files on my laptop it’s unreal, and I’m not sure if I will ever use them all in this lifetime, but I’m sure gonna knock some of ’em out of the park while I’m on this new design team, lol! And with this card comes a Happy 7th Birthday wish to AAA Birthday Cards Challenges!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Dreaming Tree Sunny Card from the Le Chapeau SVG Bundle, I cut all the pieces from an assortment of patterned papers in the Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Flip Sides Pack and Collection Pack as well as CutCardStock Lessebo Amazon Dark Teal, Basis Natural, Pop Tone Banana Split, and Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock.

I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades Swirls embossing folder for some hair texture. I added a small button from the Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Buttons. Also stamped the front sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with a couple strips of the paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink.

Luke 6:38

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I was invited by the lovely Karen to guest design for Word Art Wednesday. It’s been probably five or six years since I had that honor, so of course I said yes! Pretty Pink Posh is the sponsor for Anything Goes – Weeks 752-753 and I was emailed a beautiful scripture to incorporate into my project. In short, Luke 6:38 teaches generosity so I thought it only fitting to make a thank you card using Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies. You’ll undoubtedly recognize this expanding panel fun fold because I posted one last month for another design team. I totally love it so that means you’ll be seeing more of them! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you’d like the instructions for this!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock, layering panels from Doodlebug Design Buffalo Check-Wood Grain Rainbow Petite Prints, and the inside Z-fold panel from 80# Solar white cardstock. I printed the scripture on Solar White and cut it with a Pinkfresh Studio Rounded & Braided Rectangles die.

I stamped, colored and die cut several floral images from the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Mother’s day stamps and dies. I used one of the smaller ones on the front so as not to over-shadow the scripture. I added clear iridescent gemstones from my stash around the rectangle, which completed the card front.

I added a couple strips cut from the Doodlebug Design paper along with two more Pretty Pink Posh images. I stamped a sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink from the Pretty Pink Posh Mom stamp set. Love, love, love! This design is just beautiful made in any colors or prints!

Thinking of You

Hi friends, here’s wishing you all a wonderful Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. The days sure do seem to be flying by at record speed… we’re almost to the middle of the year already! I’m sharing another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the May 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I sure have enjoyed all the wonderful coordinating papers and stickers (and floral embellies in the upgrades) in this month’s kit! Pocket cards are one of the easiest kinds of fun folds to make and there are SO many versions out there. This one has triangular flaps and features paper, stickers and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades.

Because of the nature of the folds on most pocket cards, I like to use double-sided papers. I chose a floral print with a multi colored stripe on the back to cut the pocket card base. I punched a thumb notch with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/4″ circle punch and added a sentiment cut from one of the papers in the collection which I embellished with a heart sticker and a jeweled floral embellishment from the upgrades.

I cut the pull-out card base from CutCardStock Strawberry Cream cardstock and adhered a panel of 80# Solar White to it. I embellished this pull-out card with sentiment stickers, scalloped borders (punched with the Stampin’ Up Scallop Border Punch), and Love From Lizi pinstripe peel-off stickers. I added another border strip across the bottom which I cut from one of the papers along with several iridescent gemstones.

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with papers, stamps and dies from our new Adventure & Beyond collection, along with our new Embossed Circles Dies (coming soon) and our Nested Stitched Circles Dies! This front flap card is among my top ten favorite fun folds and is an easy one to make. As with any of the fun folds I make, let me know if you’d like the instructions. ;)

I cut the flat card base and an embossed circle from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock, the front flap from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural cardstock, and layering panels and a stitched circle from assorted prints in the Adventure & Beyond 12×12 Collection Pack.

I stamped the pony from The Toybox Collection Stamps and the horse shoe from the Playtime Collection Stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I cut the pony with the coordinating Outline Die and fussy cut the horse shoe. I assembled the card, popping up the pony on foam squares. I stamped a sentiment from the Playtime Collection Stamps and added several Kraft Enamel Dots.
