Whoop De Doo

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. We are expecting some temps in the 60s and 70s next week, and even with the mild Winter we’ve had and our love for cooler weather, we’re ready for Spring! ;) I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today that I created with our NEW Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies that were released yesterday! I paired these dies with our Snow Day papers and Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes stamps and dies, along with our Birthday Sentiments stamps and Stitched Rectangles nested dies.

And I’m proud to share that Keep It Simple sent this die set into production after my Christmas-themed accordion pocket card sample HERE was deemed a huge hit at one of the expos last Summer. Needless to say, my head swelled a bit when she told us about it, and I’m thrilled to share it with you today. My sample was all hand-cut and this die set makes this card a breeze to create!

Using the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies, I cut the card base from American Crafts Black cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints from the Snow Day 6×9 and 12×12 Collection Packs. I stamped a couple images from the Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes Collection Stamps, colored them with an assortment of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Using a die in the Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, I cut a card to slip into the pocket. For the final step, I stamped several sentiments from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red inks, fussy cut or trimmed them, and adhered them to the front, inside and the pocket card.

Here’s an additional shot showing the card removed from the pocket. This is such a fun set of dies that can be used for literally any occasion with any color palette!

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! ;)
