Ooh-La-La

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I have another pretty Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stamps and dies from our beautiful new La Vie En Rose collection, along with a couple other oval die sets in the store. This fold out panel card is such a joy to make and really shows off the products in this collection.

I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and Natural cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the La Vie En Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I also used Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Dies and our new KIS Cuts Stitched Scallop Ovals for the focal panel on the front. The sentiment is from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink.

I stamped the large single rose from the La Vie En Rose Collection Stamps on CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I then die cut it with the coordinating Outline Stamp and added it to the inside of the card.

I cut the back sentiment panel from Basis Natural and stamped a large sentiment from the same stamp set in the red ink, which completed the card.

Warm Holiday Wishes

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re all doing well and staying warm in this cold snap! Our temps have been in negative numbers here and with all this humidity (that we didn’t have in Colorado), we sure are feeling it! I decided to create a card for the January ‘Use Your Stash’ challenge over at Danni Bindel’s This & That With Danni’s Dreams Facebook Group. The prompts are Bears, Snowmen, Doilies, Hot Cocoa and Penguins. This adorable Echo Park paper has bears and penguins on it, and I added a doily to capture three of the five stash prompts. Danni always has several different challenges going on in her group, so come on over and play! Y’all know I create Christmas cards all year long, and although I’ve made several Winter-themed cards this year, this is the first actual Christmas card of the new year!

I grabbed a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Pre-Folded card base and cut a couple layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and a fun print from the Echo Park Winter Magic Collection Kit. I added the doily and embellished it with a 1-1/2″ punch from the paper underneath a Keep It Simple Back To Basics Epoxy Circle. I heat embossed a sentiment from the adorable Santa and Friends from Prickley Pear Stamps (no longer available) using Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink and Alabaster Embossing Powder. I added a few Keep It Simple Back To Basics White Enamel Dots which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped another sentiment from the Santa and Friends stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I layered the panel on CutCardStock Black Licorice cardstock and added a coordinating sticker from the Echo Park Collection Kit to tie in the paper used on the front.

Scrappy hugs,

have a TEA-rrific day!

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L DT inspiration project with you today, created with a few of my essential ‘go-to’ adhesives. This faux narrow panel step card is such an easy and fun card to put together, and really packs a punch. I feel like this chilly January weather calls for a warm cuppa, so that’s the direction I went! I have several of the Altenew Mini Delights stamp and die bundles in my stash and thought this one was perfect for this TEA-riffic friendship card.

I used Spellbinders Standard Circles (Small and Large) and Classic Scalloped Circles (Large) dies to create the focal element background, using the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to assemble it. Then I added the stamped flowers and tea cup die cuts from the Altenew Afternoon Delights (Mini Delight) Stamps and Dies, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for assembly.

I cut the card base and faux narrow panel from CutCardStock Glama Kraft cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock and coordinating prints in the We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard 6×6 paper pad. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to put these pieces together. I adhered the focal element to the card base with 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and then added a stamped sentiment (using the 3D Foam Squares) and some clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment and that completed the inside. I’ve included a side angle shot so you can see the fun construction. This is a great card that can be tailored to literally any occasion!

Best Day Ever mini album

Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have a super fun Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today that I think is one of my all-time favs! This tag-shaped mini album features our new KIS Cuts Stitched Tags dies along with our KIS Kits We’re All Ears; lots of fun papers, die cut pieces and page titles from the Best Day Ever collection; and a few die sets and several other products in the store (all listed below). I can assure you this was an amazing project to make!

I built the tag-shaped album base with tags cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock using a die in the new KIS Cuts Stitched Tags die set and a hand-cut hidden binding strip. Then I cut layering panels for each of the pages from assorted prints in the Best Day Ever 6×9 Collection Pack.

I added a shaker tag created from our We’re All Ears KIS Kit to the front, and used our Back To Basics Stitched Ovals and Squares Nested Die sets to cut various panels for the pages. I used Best Day Ever Die Cut Pieces and Page Titles to decorate the pages. I added a few pull-ups and pull-outs (used our KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die for one of them) along with the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Hearts Dies to cut a heart-shaped aperture into one of them. I also created a cute embellishment using our Back To Basics Epoxy Circles.

Here are shots of all the pages – and I even decorated the back! This was so stinkin’ fun!

Have A Classic Birthday

Hi friends, happy Tuesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very cool masculine birthday card. I used a variety of our cardstock along with a Solar White pre-folded card base. And this die set is one of those in the new Spellbinders collection that I’m totally in love with! It’s such an amazing collection that will be popular for a long time, I’m sure.

I won’t go into too much detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I used a 110# Solar White A2 pre-folded card base, 80# Solar White cardstock, Stardream Metallic Lagoon, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Bright Silver Foil, Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock, and Glama Natural Clear Translucent Vellum.

I used the Spellbinders Timeless Truck Dies, Classic Sentiments Dies, and Cruisin’ By Sentiments Stamp & Die Bundle. Embossing folders seem to be making a comeback so I dug out an argyle one for the front panel on this which I popped up on thick craft foam. I added the truck and sentiment strip. It’s a super simple design!

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the Lagoon cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on Black Licorice cardstock.

Let the Fun Begin z-fold mini album

Hey everybody – how’s the weather where you are?! Tis the season to be freezin’ here! We really didn’t feel the cold (or heat) out in southwestern Colorado because of the low humidity, but it’s pretty high here and we are definitely feeling it. I’m a cooler weather kind of girl but have to admit that I’m counting down the days until we see some warmer weather!

I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a super cute z-fold mini album. And yep, you guessed it… this one is for documenting some fun Summer activities! As mentioned in my post several weeks ago, Doodlebug Design invited our design team to collaborate with them so I used a ton of their products along with awesome Scrapbook Adhesives products for the assembly.

I won’t go into too much detail here on this post, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see my tutorial. I cut the album base from CutCardStock 12×12 Twine cardstock and used all kinds of Doodlebug textured cardstock, patterned paper, enamels and die cut pieces to bring this fun mini album to life. I used our E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix to put it all together.

All the pockets are decorated, and there are tags and pull-outs tucked into the pockets for photos and journaling. Here are close-ups of all five sections on the front and the two on the back. To say this was fun is an understatement, lol! You know I love me some mini albums! And the more colorful they are, the better I like them!

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a good week so far! Ed and I have been down with Covid for 8-9 days now and it’s kicking my butt like nothing I’ve ever experienced. We’re both high risk and we’ve had all the vaccinations and boosters so far, so I guess we can consider ourselves lucky to have escaped it until now. I will tell you it’s some nasty stuff. So I’m a couple days late posting this beautiful card for Keep It Simple. It’s another layered diamonds pop-up card which has quickly moved to the top of my favorites list. My inspiration came from Connie Stewart and features papers and die cut pieces from our beautiful new La Vie En Rose collection.

I cut the card base and diamond layers from CutCardStock Basis Red and Natural cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the La Vie En Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I used image and sentiment die cuts from the La Vie En Rose Die Cut Pieces to finished off the card front.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from Basis Natural cardstock and added a sentiment panel from the cut-apart sheet in the collection which completed the card. This is such a pretty fold, and having pretty papers and die cut pieces really takes it to the next level!

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi friends, happy happy weekend! I hope you’re having a fun one! I have had THE best time creating Winter-themed projects… ’tis the season to be freezin’, right?! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Now, we wait patiently for the February kit, lol! I’m sure I’ve mentioned that the triple z-fold is one of my absolute favorite fun folds and I’ve made lots of them over the past few years. I used elements from everything in this month’s collection to make this one, and I love how it turned out!

I cut the card base pieces and strips from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I used a Love From Lizi Stitched Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die to create the background for the focal panel. I added a Little Birdie Scroll Border Frame from the upgrades and then tucked a trimmed journaling card inside the frame. I finished off the front with (yep, you guessed it…) two stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers from the upgrades.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and layered it on a green print from the collection. I added a tag from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags from the upgrades along with a die cut bow (cut with a Scrapbook.com Bow Toppers Shape Die). This fun fold design is one that never disappoints!

hello Winter

Hey everybody, happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have another gorgeous ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This is another version of the tri-fold which is made in a vertical orientation versus the usual one we see in a horizontal orientation. And the cool thing about this one is the bottom flap can be adhered on both sides and a gift card (or mini card) tucked in. I’ve made several of these over the past few months and I always love how they turn out! And, of course, it always helps to have gorgeous papers and elements to bring them to life!

I cut the flat card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered it with a patterned paper panel cut from a print in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I cut the tri-fold portion of the card from 80# Solar White along with layering panels cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and a pretty floral print in the collection. I added a ‘hello’ sentiment taken from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (in the upgrades) and included the trimmed and layered ‘winter’ word from a journaling card in the collection. I finished off the front with several dots of Neptune Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I layered another print from the collection and another panel of the gold foil cardstock on the smaller flap at the bottom. That’s the one I mentioned above that could be adhered on both sides with a gift card or mini card tucked inside. I cut the sentiment panel from 80# Solar White and layered it on CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange. I added an embellishing strip and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags in the upgrades.

Snow Days Are The Best Days

Hey everybody, I hope your week is going along at a nice pace. Can’t believe it’s Friday already! I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the January 2026 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. This hidden gate fold is really a fun one to make that packs a punch. I made one back in September for another design team and felt like it was time to make another one to show off the pretty papers and other elements in this month’s collection!

I cut the card base and top-folding smaller card from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from a couple coordinating prints in the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Collection Kit. I added a trimmed journaling card from the collection as well as a piece of ephemera from the Carta Bella Winter Wonderland Frames & Tags (in the upgrades) which I popped up on foam squares. And of course I just had to add a couple stars from the Rosie’s Studio Glitter Foam Stickers (also from the upgrades). They are so pretty! ;)

I cut the inside panel of the smaller card from 80# Solar White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the green floral paper used, and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet. This is such an easy card that works up in about 30 minutes!
