To Read or Not To Read

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week and looking forward to some fun this weekend! Our new challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #83 – Anything Goes! This is a reading-themed 4-1/2″ square card I made with the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection – and it’s one of the easiest cards I think I’ve ever made. ;)

I cut the 4-1/2″ square card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock and a die cut square from a patterned paper in the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection Pack using a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nested Die. I added a sentiment sticker popped up on foam strips along with an open-book sticker on the shelf for a little subtle dimension. The finishing touch was adding several Keep It Simple Hello Adventure Enamel Dots to the top shelf.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White and embellished it with leftover strips of the patterned paper and brown cardstock used on the front. I added another sentiment sticker and layered the panel on brown cardstock.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
