Hi friends – it’s Friday the 13th, lol! Not superstitious here at all! I hope you are enjoying some gorgeous weather like we’re having… it’s a little chilly but that’s how we like it! I am stoked to share this Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our Country Christmas Shaker Cards Kit. All the supplies needed (plus extras) are included in this kit to make two gorgeous shaker cards to give family or friends on your Christmas card list. All you need is glue. One card is tag shaped and the other is shaped like a mason jar. This is some seriously good fun in a package that you don’t want to miss!
Here are front angled shots of each card. Aren’t they just gorgeous?! AND super easy to assemble!
And here are two straight frontal shots.
Finally, here are shots of the inside of each card. I just love how these turned out. It goes without saying that the recipients of these cards will be absolutely thrilled. And the kit would be so fun to gift to a crafter so they can make their own!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for #369 – I’ve Got The Blues. We’d love to see your project created mainly in blue. Not sure why, but the lighter blue cardstock looks kind of greenish in my photos, but it definitely looks blue in real life. One of those things that makes you go Hmmm. I used Lori Whitlock’s Winter City Flexi Card SVG Cut File – you may also know this design as a bendi card. They’ve been around for a while and they are so fun!
Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Lori Whitlock Winter City Flexi Card SVG Cut File, I cut the pieces from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Encore Textured Cardstock in Glacier Melt, Blue Sky and Snowy White. Assembly was pretty straightforward and I used the Keep It Simple Art by Mi Ran Susie Snowflakes Stamp Set for the sentiment, stamped in Memento Danube Blue. I added several Stampin’ Up! Frosted Sequins Snowflakes, and the card was completed.
Here’s an angled shot and one with the card folded flat for mailing. Love how this turned out – what a difference blues make! ;)

Hi everyone, happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a great first week of November! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a sweet nativity envelope box card using lots of cardstock from the store, which I’ll list below. I used the Cyndy G SVG Nativity Envelope Box Card SVG cut file along with one patterned paper and two sentiment die cuts from the Keep It Simple O Holy Night collection. In the grand scheme of things, I really haven’t made very many Christmas cards this year (which is very unusual for me) so I better get on it! ;)
I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you’d like to know more. I cut all the pieces from Basis Navy 12×12, Red Pepper 12×12, Rubber Ducky Yellow, Sandcastle, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Lessebo Hunter Green, Lessebo Coffee Bean, Vanilla Bean Brown, and Classic Crest 80# Solar White Cardstock. Cyndy’s SVG files are always pretty straightforward and the assembly of the base and inserts was very simple. I added a sentiment die cut from the Keep It Simple O Holy Night collection.
I added one more sentiment to the back panel, which completed this card.
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and you’re inspired to get crafty!

Happy Monday, y’all! Can you believe it’s November already?! I’m just shaking my head at how quickly this year has flown by. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new Forget Me Not stamps. OMG, they are gorgeous! I created this triple cube card for the How-To section of the KIS website, so be sure to check out my tutorial if you’d like to know how to make this amazing fun fold! It’s definitely one of my all-time favorites! I’ve used a few other products on the website which I’ll list below.
I started by stamping a sentiment and random florals from the KIS Stamps: Forget Me Not set onto Classic Crest 80# Solar White, and colored the images with alcohol markers. I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Misty Blue cardstock along with layering panels from the stamped panel as well as prints from the Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack and Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I used the Nested Stitched Squares to cut the six panels from the stamped piece and also the Nested Stitched Rectangles to cut the sentiment.
I cut two additional panels for the back from Classic Crest 80# Solar White and stamped a floral on one and a sentiment on the other. I added a small yellow gemstone to the center of each floral on the square panels as well as the back panel, and this completed the card.

Hi friends! Well, another Friday has rolled around and it’s the end of October already! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges, and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for #368 – Thankful, Grateful, Blessed. We want to see your project depicting feeling(s) of being thankful, grateful and/or blessed. That should be a pretty easy theme for everybody. I used the beautiful Cyndy G SVG Dolores Card SVG Cut File which I cut in Encore textured cardstock from 12×12 Cardstock Shop. I’ve had this huge package of cardstock for several years and truth be known, I’ve been hoarding it. Oh, did I say that ‘H’ word?! Bahahaha! So anyway, I decided to get it out and actually use it; I’ve made three CIU inspiration projects with it and there are more to come! ;)
Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cyndy G SVG Dolores Card SVG Cut File, I cut the pieces from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Encore Textured Cardstock in Snowy White, Vanilla Ice Cream, Honolulu Blue, Maple Syrup, Jet Black, Sea Glass and Rosy Red, along with a couple pieces cut from Classic Crest Solar White from CutCardStock. The sentiments are from Stampin’ Up! Paisleys & Posies stamp set, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added several Brutus Monroe Violet Shift Flat Back Crystals, applied with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.
Here’s a shot of the inside with another sentiment from the same SU stamp set. Love, love, love how this turned out! And I have plans to make another one in different colors for another team!

Hi friends, I hope you’re having a great week! Can you believe this month is almost over?! I’m up on the Lori Whitlock blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Fall themed barn box card. If you love box cards as much as I do, be sure to check out Lori’s shop because she has some really awesome ones. I used the Box Card Barn Flowers SVG cut file (from the A2 Box Card Autumn Bundle) along with papers from the Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for the flowers. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed making this!
I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial over on Lori’s blog if you want to know more. Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori’s Box Card Barn Flowers SVG cut file, I cut most of the pieces from a variety of cardstock from CutCardStock, along with designer papers from Lori’s Pattern Fill Set Autumn Joy for some of the flowers. I used the draw function on my Cricut to create a fun sentiment.
And lastly, I die cut an oval using a die from the KIS Cuts: Nested Stitched Ovals and adhered it to the back for a custom message and signature.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this project and you’re inspired to get crafty!

Hi friends, here’s another wish for a happy Tuesday! I’m thrilled to pop in a second time today to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you. This gorgeous cup shaped card features papers, stamps and die cut pieces from our new Country Christmas collection (which I absolutely adore) and our KIS Cuts: Freshly Brewed dies. This was such as easy card to put together and I love how it turned out!
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Dolphin Gray cardstock using the KIS Cuts: Freshly Brewed dies along with layering panels from prints in the Country Christmas 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished the front with images and a sentiment from the Country Christmas Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding a few Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
I die cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Country Christmas Collection Stamps in Memento Olive Grove ink. Added a couple more hearts from the die cut pieces, and the card was complete.

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope your week has started off on a nice note! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project featuring a variety of our amazing products. This swing easel card design is truly one of my all-time favorites and I’ve used Dolly, an old Whimsy Stamps rubber stamp (which I’m pretty sure I’ve never used before), as my focal because she paired so nicely with this friendship theme and patterned papers!
I used the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips to adhere the patterned paper and stamped image, 3D Foam Squares Micro Black and Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors (in pink) for the tiny diamond embellishments on the bottom flap, 3D Foam Circles Black Mix to adhere the stopper, and the Dual Tip Glue Pen along with white flock in my stash to create some Flock Dots. I’ve never seen or heard of Flock Dots before, so to my knowledge, they are my own invention, lol!
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock, along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Echo Park My Favorite Spring Collection Kit and a sentiment panel for the inside cut from Solar White. I stamped and heat embossed the Whimsy Stamps Dolly image on Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and colored her with a variety of alcohol markers. I cut the image with a My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Square STAX die, and then adhered all of the panels with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.
As I mentioned above, I created what I’m calling Flock Dots – small dots of adhesive from the Dual Tip Glue Pen dropped onto parchment paper and then dusted with white flock from my stash. I allowed these to dry overnight and used them as embellishments on the focal image panel when I assembled the card. They are so delicate and sweet!
I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts You Are Fabulous stamp set which I punched with the Stampin’ Up! Extra Large Oval Punch to use as the easel stopper. I adhered it to the bottom panel with 3D Foam Circles Black Mix. I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using 3D Foam Squares Micro Black with pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, which I added to the outside corners of the bottom panel in diamond orientation. This completed the card, and I am SO smitten! ;)

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock, the insert from Classic Crest Recycled Classic Natural White, and layering panels from prints in our Boo To You 12×12 Collection Pack. I used our Nested Stitched Circles and Nested Stitched Scallop Circles for the circular aperture in the front flap and the sweet scalloped frame.

Howdy peeps, happy Thursday – it’s almost the weekend and I hope you have something fun planned! I’ve popped in this morning with one more fun ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with items in the October 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. As I mentioned several days ago, this month’s collection does not disappoint and I’ve had THE best time creating with it! The envelope tuck card is another one that has made it to my list of favorite fun folds because it’s such a fun (and easy) design that really packs a punch.
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels and the tuck flap from coordinating prints in the collection. I trimmed a journaling card and embellished it with an additional image and strips which I used as the focal panel (and tuck point) on the card front.
I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a border sticker from the sticker sheet, as well as ephemera and a bat sticker from the upgrades.
