Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great week so far! Today is not my posting day on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog but I’ve popped in to share an extra DT inspiration project with you, a sweet little hanging lantern created with the free (ySimply Crafty SVGs Mini Hanging Lantern cut file. How cute would it be to create several of these and hang them around the deck or patio for a birthday party or a summer get-together?!
The sky is the limit for choosing papers for these! I chose a heavy kraft cardstock for the base and then a pretty floral print for the panels.
The finishing touches were a few pink gemstones to give this lantern a little pizzazz and some pink and white Baker’s twine. Love how this turned out!
Products used:

Hi everyone! Happy Monday – can’t believe we’re almost through September! Our new sketch challenges this month are live over at Stick It Down and I’ve popped in this morning to share my Card Team inspiration project! Love To Scrap 2 is our sponsor this month (that would be me, lol!) so come on over and play for the chance to win a Prize Pack consisting of several items such as stamps, dies, ink, ribbon, stickers, etc.! The card team is showcasing projects today on the blog and this is our super awesome card sketch this month, created by Melissa:
I created a fun ‘love you much’ card to add to my stash. I used three coordinating My Mind’s Eye papers plus sentiments that were included in the paper pad. I love the colors!
This was a fun sketch and the card went together pretty quickly. The postage stamp die I have in my stash is a square one and I would have rather had a rectangular one to work with, so I might have to go shopping. ;) I layered all the elements on gray cardstock and added several gray sequins.
I embellished the inside with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front as well as a fussy-cut flower and sentiment from the paper pad.
One more look… really diggin’ how this turned out! I think this might wind up in my oldest granddaughter’s mailbox… ;)
Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up thick and regular Whisper White cardstock, Stampin’ Up Basic Gray cardstock, My Mind’s Eye Unforgettable cardstock
Dies/Punches: Spellbinders Postage Stamp die
Accessories: Gemini Junior die cutting machine, Pretty Pink Posh Pewter sequins
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and will link up with us! Feel free to play along with the double page or single page sketch if you’re a scrapbook layout designer, or the card sketch if you’re a card maker! You have until the end of the month to play and we’d love to see what you create! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you next time! ;)

Hi friends! I hope you’re having an awesome weekend! I’m super stoked to share another Ephemoire inspiration project with you this month. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to head over to the Ephemoire Etsy Shop to check out all the amazing digital printables… there are collage sheets, digital papers, journal kits, clip art and mixed media printables, and the print quality is awesome!
As mentioned in my post earlier this morning, I was provided Is It Autumn Yet #1 to play with this month. Well, I was also provided Is It Autumn Yet #2, Is It Autumn Yet #3 and Is It Autumn Yet #4 letter size digi papers, and using all four collections, I created an Autumn-themed stationery box that holds six cards and envelopes, six tags, three trifold notelets with belly bands, a lined book, a postage stamp pocket and a pen. This is the second stationery box I’ve made and I thoroughly enjoyed it! This version was highlighted in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter a couple years ago HERE and I’m so glad I bookmarked it!
Before I show you the contents, here are some shots of the outside of the box. It’s amazing to me how much fits in this box! ;)
Now for the fun stuff! Here is the lined book that can be used to record birthdays, addresses or whatever your heart desires, a pocket for postage stamps, and a handy-dandy pen! I attached the book with two small velcro circles on the back side so it can be removed to add extra pages when necessary, and the next pic shows the extra pages I included. ;)
Here are the six tags, each with a different paper pattern.
Here are the three 3″ x 3″ trifold notes, each with a belly band, and the next pic shows one of them opened up.
Here are the six cards with envelopes, three birthday and three thank you.
And another shot of the set. I’m super happy with how this turned out! The digital papers in these four sets are just amazing and would do ANY project justice! Swoon and drool! LOL!

Hello, my crafty friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m really excited to share my Ephemoire inspiration project with you this morning. If you haven’t already done so, be sure to head over to the Ephemoire Etsy Shop to check out all the amazing digital printables… there are collage sheets, digital papers, journal kits, clip art and mixed media printables, and the print quality is awesome!
I was provided Is It Autumn Yet #1 letter size digi papers to play with this month and created an awesome high heel with matching clutch. Of course, these will hold a place of honor in my paper shoe collection! I’ve had this high heel shoe template in my stash for a number of years. I really love the shoe’s elegance and had a hard time picking just one paper from this collection to make it. I settled on the golden color print and so glad I did. I had small paper flowers in my stash that match perfectly! ;)
I designed the clutch myself from cardstock, covered it in the golden print paper, and added a couple flowers. It’s not quite big enough for a gift card (would have been too large in comparison to the shoe), but a folded check or money will easily fit into the pouch. It has a small velcro closure.
One more look… super happy with how this project turned out! Love, love, love ALL the digital papers in this collection – they are absolutely gorgeous!
Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Ephemoire Is It Autumn Yet #1 letter size digi papers, The Paper Studio Cream cardstock
Accessories: Adella Rossol Elegant Sole shoe template, paper flowers from stash, small velcro circle

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! Today is my post day on the Simply Crafty SVGs Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project with you, an adorable birthday wagon full of posies, created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Wagon of Flowers Box Card cut file. Super cute and loads of fun!
Sandy created this as a box card which folds flat for mailing, however, I took it one step further and made it into a fixed piece of decor for a mantle or shelf. ;) I love how this turned out! I do apologize for how the ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment photographed in this pic – foil is so darn hard to photograph!
Here’s a shot of the back of the wagon which features a plain panel for writing a custom message and signature.
I used a gold foil sentiment sticker rather than stamping on this one, and it could be used for just about any occasion. I think is this one of my favorite cut files so far and I have several favorites… lots of fun picking out the bright colors and putting this together! ;)
Products used: Cardstock/Paper: American Crafts smooth black, chocolate, grass, key lime, caramel, vanilla and dandelion cardstock; Colorbok orange and pink cardstock Dies/Punches: Simply Crafty SVGs Wagon of Flowers Box Card cut file Accessories: Darice gold foil sentiment sticker, Stampin’ Up clear rhinestones, YNS black Glittered Gumdrops

Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you have a great week coming up! This month’s Anything Goes with Dies Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project with you today!
I created an adorable set of four baby welcoming cards using a super cute baby onesie die set complete with different elements to go on front of the onesies. I cut multiples of each element and layered them together for dimension, then colored them with alcohol markers and sparkle overlay marker. Each card features a stitched patterned rectangle die cut and a stitched pearlized oval die cut in a different color, and a few tiny white flat-back pearls. The card bases and front and inside sentiments are the same on each card.

Hello, my crafty friends! Hope you had a great weekend! A new challenge launched over at UnstampaBelles last Monday and today is my showcase day on the blog! I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #93 Time for Recess! The twist this month is ‘Luscious Layers.’ The twist is not mandatory to play but we’d love to see your creativity and it will put you in the running for DT Favorite! And there’s a prize in the mix… a $15 (AU) gift voucher… so let’s see what you got!
I created the most adorable ‘thinking of you’ note card featuring a gingerbread man (with a hand-drawn mouth) peeking out of a circular opening on the front of the card. So flippin’ cute! ;)
I chose three coordinating papers and two circle punches to create my background. I popped the main portion of the background up on foam and adhered a thin strip of a different paper down the right side. I punched several 2-1/4″ circles from cardstock, then put the negative pieces into a 2-1/2″ and punched 1/4″ rims which I layered around the circular opening. This created a recessed opening. I placed the third piece of patterned paper behind the opening and tucked in a sweet little gingerbread man. I adhered the sentiment under the aperture to finish the front.
I decorated the inside with some leftover pieces of paper and a strip of cardstock used on the front, leaving plenty of room to write a custom message.
One more look… this is just so stinkin’ cute! Love how it turned out!

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had a good week! This month’s ATC Challenge is live over at Happy Little Stampers! I’m super excited to share my DT inspiration project with you today! The theme for our September ATC Challenge is Ocean/Sea and we’d love to see what you create for our challenge this month!
I created an ATC base with thick white cardstock, punched the corners with a ticket corner punch, and spritzed just a hint of blue india ink and Perfect Pearls in a mister onto a sea waves stencil.
While the background was drying, I stamped all the images, colored them, and die cut them. I stamped the sentiment and arranged my underwater scene. ;)
One more look… I absolutely love how this turned out! What an adorable scene!

Hi everyone! Happy first Tuesday of September… we are rolling right through the year and that much closer to Christmas, lol! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Stinkin’ Inkers and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for our Fancy Foldschallenge! We’d love to see your project this month featuring a fun fold! I created a pretty gift box with coordinating bow using my We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 Punch Board. It has a tiny round magnet closure. Wait until you see what’s inside! ;)
Here’s a shot of the set of 10 pretty notelets contained in the gift box. They are 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ in size, and feature a snip of matching paper and gold foil ‘Congratulations’ sentiment on each, hence the ‘Celebrate’ sentiment on the outside of the box. I thought this would be a fun and practical gift to give someone that they could actually use. How many times do we need a quick congrats card to go with a gift to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, engagement, new home, new baby, new job or promotion?!
And one final look at the set. Oh, and the envelopes were also created with this punch board! ;)
Products used: Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up Share What You Love Specialty DSP, Stampin’ Up thick Whisper White cardstock, 32# copy paper for envelopes Accessories: WRMK 1-2-3- Punch Board, Darice gold foil sentiment stickers, tiny round magnet, 1/8″ Scor-Tape

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday – hope you are kick-starting your week with some good crafting! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #38 – September Anything Goes! I created an awesome encouragement card using a clock background that I had out for another project a few weeks back. Can you tell I love this stamp?!
This was a super easy card. I stamped the background on kraft paper, trimmed it, and layered it on black cardstock. I added some very thin strips of black cardstock across the top and bottom, which I allowed to extend out into the right and left margins for a little interest. I layered the panel again on kraft paper and adhered it to a black card base. The front and inside sentiments are Tim Holtz sentiment stickers.
I embellished the inside kraft paper panel with leftover strips of black cardstock, and affixed a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker.
One more look… I’m so smitten! This would be a great design to mass produce for a set of cards to give as a gift. Hmmmm…
Products used: Cardstock/Paper: GKD Black Onyx cardstock, Marco’s Brown Bag Cover Paper Stamps: Papermania Beautiful-Time Pieces stamp Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Studio 71 alcohol marker- E2 Accessories: Tim Holtz stamp platform, Tim Holtz idea-ology Small Talk sentiment stickers, Darice black rhinestones
