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! ;)

Let’s Party Like It’s 1000 BC

Hey y’all, I’m baaaack! In my last post, I mentioned that I have two Keep It Simple DT inspiration projects to share today, and this second one is a shirt card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our brand new Vikings Collection that just launched yesterday. I totally love this collection and I just HAD to make another shirt card using my own template. I hope you’re not too tired of seeing shirt cards, lol, because I’ve made quite a few of them over the past several months. They are so fun and everybody loves them!

I cut the card base (shirt, sleeves and collar) from CutCardStock Lessebo White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Vikings 12×12 Collection Pack. I used Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots for the buttons and added a sentiment from the Vikings Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White as well, and embellished it with a leftover strip of the paper used for the shirt. I added another sentiment and two more die cuts from the Vikings Die Cut Pieces, which completed the card. Easy peasy and totally adorable!

Living the fairytale

Hey everybody, happy weekend! Dang, I just can’t get over how fast this month has flown by! I have a couple Keep It Simple inspiration projects to share today (in separate posts) and they both are so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it! This one is a matchbox pop-up and features our new Once Upon A Time: Snow White Collection that launched a couple weeks ago… if you’re a princess fan, this collection is definitely for you. I’ve only made one of these matchbox pop-ups prior to this one and I’ve had the notes in my folder for so long I don’t remember where I originally saw it. But if you search for it online, you’ll find quite a few out there. It’s a fun one, for sure, and really packs a punch!

I cut the box base and slide-in from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels for both pieces from coordinating prints in the Snow White 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed the Snow White Die Cut Pieces and picked out a sentiment, Snow White, the seven dwarfs, and some critters to embellish both pieces. This project went together seamlessly and I just love how it turned out!

Merry & Bright

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m thrilled to share a Christmas in July inspiration project for Brutus Monroe featuring the small but mighty Merry & Bright stamp set. I also used Poison Apple cardstock, a plaid print in the Playful Patterns papers, the Occasional Greetings stamp set, some heat resistant acetate, Noble Fir and Ornament Gold Chroma Mists, and Hematite crystals. I’ve been seeing a lot of cards with geometric elements around lately so I was inspired to create this one with triangles and hexagons on an acetate front.

I cut the flat card base and a double stitched hexagon die cut from Poison Apple cardstock. I created the acetate front flap by adhering a panel of Heat Resistant Acetate to a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock. I adhered triangle flaps to the front of the acetate and the Poison Apple hexagon to the back side of the acetate. I cut a slightly smaller hexagon from Perfect Blend cardstock and spritzed it with Noble Fir and Ornament Gold Chroma Mists.

I stamped the wire and bulb from the Merry & Bright stamp set in Raven ink on the misted hexagon and the bulb once more on CutCardStock Silk Glitter 4×6 Red Flash cardstock which I fussy cut. I colored the metal top of the bulb with a gold metallic pen and paper pieced the bulb to the hexagon. I stamped the sentiment from the same Merry & Bright stamp set and added a few Hematite Flat Back Crystals.

For the inside, I die cut an additional stitched hexagon from Perfect Blend cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Occasional Greetings stamp set in Raven ink. I adhered it to the inside being sure it was completely hidden beneath the hexagon on the front.

Retro Notecard Gift Set

Hey everybody, hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday and your week has started off nicely! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project with you today featuring the Sizzix-Tim Holtz Vault Atomic Retro Thinlits. I am SO in love with this set of dies… probably because I’m retro myself, lol! I created a retro notecard gift set with six 3-1/2″ x 5″ notecards in a coordinating box. This was a really fun project!

Here are shots of the box closed and then open. I hand-cut the box base and lid from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock along with panels of Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock for the top and sides. Using most of the dies in the set, I cut a nice variety of the elements in assorted colors using CutCardStock Fruit Punch Pink 4×6 Pearlized Textured, Galax 4×6 Canvas Textured, Yellow Jacket 4×6 Textured, Adobo 4×6 Textured, Seafoam Green 4×6 Canvas Textured, and Habanero Red 4×6 Textured. I embellished the box top a little differently than the cards.

I had several leftover 3-1/2″ x 5″ kraft notecards with envelopes in my stash that my sister sent me years ago, so the cards were a snap to assemble. I cut panels of brown cardstock for the front of each card and used the same placement of the elements but used different colors. I cut inside panels from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and embellished them with strips and elements, and left them blank to write custom messages. I totally love how this project turned out!

Igloo Sweet Igloo

Hey everybody, top of the morning to you, and here’s wishing you a wonderful week ahead! I’m delighted to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project that’s being featured on our How To’s page on the website. This ‘tri-fold with a view’ fun fold features papers, stamps and dies from our Penguin Party Collection. I also used our Back To Basics Stitched Circles and Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies along with our Back To Basics Pastel Gingham Ribbon and Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Aubergine cardstock and embellished the card front with coordinating prints from the Penguin Party 12×12 Collection Pack. The sentiment is from the Igloo Collection Stamps, and I added pastel enamel dots and a tiny pastel gingham bow, both from our Back To Basics line.

The images in the little scene are from the Igloo Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Igloo Outline Dies, adhered to a circle cut from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Encore Glacier Melt Textured Cardstock.

For the inside panel, I used more paper and a sentiment stamp from the Penguin Party Collection, and added a rectangle die cut from our Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies. For more details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Keep It Simple website!

You Croc My World!

Hi everyone, Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a ‘love you just because’ half flap card. Talk about easy peasy… this is one of the easiest cards ever! I used a 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base with Mantis Green, Granny Smith, Scottish Highlands Green, Kale Green, and Silk Glitter Red Flash cardstock. And see that diagonal line of little gold dots toward the top left? Those were made with the EK Tools Dual Tip Gold Pen. I think this is my all-time favorite gold pen because it doesn’t leave that oily-looking rim around whatever you draw or write. And this croc is beyond adorable – I just love me some Lawn Fawn!

I used a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base. Then I built my diagonal strip background on a piece of 20# copy paper covered with a Scrapbook Adhesives Adhesive Sheet. I cut strips from Mantis Green, Granny Smith, Scottish Highlands Green and Kale Green cardstock using the Scrapbook.com Decorative Long Strips Dies and trimmed it to fit the top portion of the card front. Using the EK Tools Dual Tip Gold Pen, I added some dots and then added two more layers to a couple other strips for a little interest.

Using the Lawn Fawn Croc My World stamps, I stamped the crocodile on 80# Solar White cardstock, colored him with G85 and G99 Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and cut him with the coordinating die. I layered him on two more die cuts for dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink and then added the croc to the flap. I also added a double layer red glitter heart cut from Silk Glitter Red Flash cardstock and a leftover strip which I adhered vertically on the left side of the flap along with three tiny buttons.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Summer Botany stamp set in the green ink, and layered the panel on Kale Green cardstock.

My Anchor

Hi friends, Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring some fun products from our June release. I did a little bit of mixed media using our Fishing You and Underwater Friendship stamp sets, Make Waves and Coral Reef chipboard, along with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists. This is a friendship card and not a birthday card, and the little mermaid in the Fishing You stamp set is holding a birthday cake, so I covered it up with a fish from the Buttons Galore & More Aquarium Flatbackz Embellishments. How’s that for thinking outside the box?!

I started by spritzing a panel of Not Your Mamas cardstock and a wave panel from the Make Waves chipboard with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists. I grabbed some coral pieces from the Coral Reef chipboard and colored them with alcohol markers. I stamped the mermaid from the Fishing You stamp set and the anchor from the Underwater Friendship stamp set in Raven ink on Perfect Blend cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers.

Once the background panel was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Underwater Friendship stamp set directly on the panel in the upper left corner in Raven ink. Next, I stamped the little fishes from the Fishing You stamp set directly on the panel and colored them with Sharpie markers to get good coverage through the Chroma Mists. I assembled the card, popping the wave panel up on foam tape and tucking the coral pieces in behind it.

I grabbed a resin fish from the Buttons Galore & More Aquarium Flatbackz Embellishments and adhered it over the birthday cake that the mermaid is holding. The finishing touch was adhering the anchor from the Underwater Friendship stamp set at the bottom.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Underwater Friendship stamp set in Raven ink, and layered the panel on Sea cardstock.

Happy Holidays

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! It’s Christmas in July all over the place! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project featuring the beautiful Wooded Gathering and Good Tidings stamp sets which I paired with Gingerbread and Scarlet cardstock along with patterned papers from the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I also used the Lace Layers dies and some Red Shift Flat Back Crystals to bring this card to life. This tented easel card is on my (long) list of all-time favorite fun folds and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I love that it showcases large stamps so beautifully.

I cut the card base from Gingerbread cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Winter Wings and Love Letters paper collections. I stamped the large image from the Wooded Gathering stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on CutCardStock Baronial Ivory cardstock and then spritzed it with Ornament Gold Chroma Mist.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in brown ink vertically on the left side of the focal image, and then added an edge from a Lace Layers die cut which I cut from Scarlet cardstock. I also stamped a sentiment from the Good Tidings stamp set and layered it on a Lace Layers die cut, also cut from the Scarlet cardstock. I adhered this to the bottom panel, popped up on a foam strip, which was the stopper to aid the card in standing for display.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with a leftover patterned paper strip. I stamped another sentiment in brown ink from the same Wooded Gathering stamp set and layered the panel on Scarlet cardstock. I’ve also included an angled shot so you can see the cool construction.

Best Friends Forever

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a good week. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a double flap fun fold featuring our Happy Days papers, Best Friends Forever stamps, and yellow pinstripe and black mini heart peel-offs – all from our July release. I also used an additional stamp set, a couple die sets and some gemstones from the store to make this card come to life. There seem to be quite a few versions of the double flap fun fold out there but this one is my favorite.

I cut the card base and second flap element from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Lead Encore Textured cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Happy Days 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. I also cut two labels (using the Stitched Label Nested Cutting Dies) from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Pink Champagne Encore Textured cardstock. Next I cut two circles (using the Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies) from 80# Solar White and one from the Lead cardstock. I added several white gemstones from the Tropical Escapes Mix Size Gems.

I stamped a sentiment and images from the Best Friends Forever stamp set in Catherine Pooler Black Jack and Twilight inks, and partially colored the images with a Blush Copic Ciao alcohol marker. I embellished the striped panel on the front of the second flap with Yellow Pinstripe and Black Mini Heart Peel-Offs.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the dotted patterned paper from the Happy Days paper pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Amazing stamp set and layered the panel inside the second flap. If you want more details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog! ;)

Curled in Happiness

Hey everybody, a very happy Wednesday to you! We’re already a week into July… what happened to June, lol?! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a hedgehog friendship card featuring the Gina K Designs Hedgehogs in Happiness Stamp & Die Bundle. If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of fun folds. Everywhere I turn, I see another one I want to try! There are at least three versions of the corner fold card out there that I’ve seen, and when I got these adorable hedgehog stamps and dies in my hands, I knew I had to use them for this particular card.

I cut the folded portion of the card base (main element) and a couple smaller panels from Stampin’ Up Color Me Autumn DSP. I cut the flat card base and two additional panels from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange cardstock and the front panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. The images and sentiments are from the new Gina K Designs Hedgehogs in Happiness Stamp & Die Bundle. I colored the images with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies.

And here’s a shot of the inside, with the card opened up and the corner folded back. This really is a delightful fold, and if you’re interested in seeing how I made it, be sure to check out my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal blog!
