Thank You tower card

Hey, hey, hey, Happy Monday, everybody! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and got out and enjoyed this beautiful Fall weather we’re having! Love, love, love this time of year! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #151 – Anything Goes! I tried out this cool tower card fun fold earlier this year and enjoyed it so much that I had to make another one, lol! I used the oh-so-pretty Prickley Pear Stamps Sketched Florals – Wisteria stamp set along with the Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf stamp set and the Prickley Pear Stamps Shadow Words – Thank You die.

I stamped the image from the Prickley Pear Stamps Sketched Florals – Wisteria stamp set on a full sheet of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut a small square panel for the front and a long panel for the back of the card. I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock and swiss dot patterned paper from Crafter’s Companion Verity Rose 6×6 paper pad, and adhered all the layers to the card base. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Shadow Words – Thank You die, I cut the sentiment from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Amethyst cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock, and adhered it to the front. The final touch was adding several iridescent gemstones for a little interest.

I adhered the long panel with the stamped and colored image to a CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock layer, stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf stamp set, and adhered the panel to the back of the card.

Merry Christmas Camper

11/30/21 November Rising Star at A Place To Start!
8/17/22 CAS Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi everyone! It’s Monday already and I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #40 – November Anything Christmas Goes! I created another clean and simple card and this one is near and dear to my heart – hubby and I were full-time RVers for nearly four years and just sold our fifth wheel last year. We sure had some good times and met some awesome people! This was a super fun project created with Prickley Pear Stamps Ham Camper Winter stamp set and Prickley Pear Stamps Ham Camper stamp set along with the coordinating Ham Camper die set!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a slightly smaller layering panel. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Ham Camper Winter stamp set and Prickley Pear Stamps Ham Camper stamp set, I stamped the camper and elements on a scrap of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and then cut them with the Ham Camper die set, and then adhered the awning and door to the camper. I applied a strip of Eyelet Outlet Grass Washi Tape across the bottom of the front panel and adhered the camper. I adhered the panel to the card base, stamped the sentiment above the camper, and added three red gold rim flat-back pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and kept it fairly CAS as well – embellished it with a narrow strip of red cardstock, stamped the sentiment and candy cane, and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… what a fun card for that RVer on your Christmas card list!

Pinwheel Bouquet

11/30/21 November Rising Star at A Place To Start!
12/1/21 Top 5 Winner at Moving Along With The Times!
12/6/21 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Monday to you! I hope it’s not too awfully cold where you are! It has cooled off nicely here and we love it! Our new challenge is live over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #55 – Anything Goes + 3-D Project! Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ and we offer a technique twist each month to inspire our participants but the twist is not mandatory to play. This month the twist is to create a 3-D project – and I created a pinwheel bouquet! I thought it would be fun to make one for my studio and it sure brought back some childhood memories!

I painted the inside of a wide-mouth mason jar with Farmhouse paint and let it dry for several days. I made eight pinwheels in 4″, 5″, 6″ and 7″ sizes using the WRMK Pinwheel Punch Board and attached a jeweled embellishment in the center of each one with Ranger distress collage medium. I arranged them inside the mason jar with hot glue and floral foam. I wrapped ribbon around the jar lid and tied a bow, and attached a small button in the center.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! Definitely a fun project!

Give thanks

Hi friends! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! They sure do go by fast! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #64 – November Anything Goes! Fall is in full swing so here’s a pretty slimline chock full of Fall colors using Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf stamp set and coordinating Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf die set! OMGosh, they are gorgeous! Prickley Pear Stamps also carries Rinea Foiled Paper Autumn Variety Pack that I used for these leaves.

I cut a top-folding slimline card base measuring 9″ x 3-3/4″ from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. This is my go-to size because it fits perfectly in a #10 business size envelope which the slimline was designed to fit in, and still allows for some dimension. I cut layers from Stampin’ Up patterned paper, Darice textured brown cardstock and CutCardStock Camomile cardstock for the front, layered them together and adhered the panel to the front of the card base. I die cut three stitched circles from CutCardStock Camomile cardstock and three slightly larger stitched circles from the textured brown cardstock, layered them together in three sets, offsetting the yellow circles toward the top, and adhered them to the front panel. I adhered small foiled paper squares to white cardstock and die cut a variety of oak and maple leaves in different colors using the Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf die set, and layered two on each set of circles. I added twine bows and flat-back pearls to each set of circles. I stamped a sentiment in brown ink on white cardstock, trimmed it and flagged one end, and adhered it to the front with foam pads.

I cut a panel for the inside from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of patterned paper and the textured brown cardstock used on the front, stamped the sentiment in brown ink, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Camomile cardstock. I had a leftover die cut foiled maple leaf which I adhered to the bottom left corner of the panel.

And one more look… the colors in this angled shot show up much better than in any of the other photos I took. Very happy with how this turned out!

Trick or Treat

Hi friends! I’m back on this fine Sunday evening to share the last of the Halloween cards I made this year. This one is, by far, the creepiest one, lol! But it was a fun one! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I used a couple Brutus Monroe products from my stash on this card – the teeth stamp set and the felt doily.

I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and a patterned paper from the Halloween 6×6 paper pad which I adhered together and then to the card base. I stamped the teeth and sentiment in black ink and then again in Versamark, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I cut it with a stitched mini scalloped circle die and layered it on a Brutus Monroe charcoal felt doily. I colored the upper and lower fangs with a red alcohol marker and added Glossy Accents to resemble blood. The finishing touch was the addition of red glitter gumdrops in the corners.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover piece of the Halloween patterned paper and a strip of CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock. I added the die cut and stamped sentiment, and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… such a fun and creepy card, lol! I love this stamp set!

Halloween Pinwheel Twist Card

Hi friends! Happy Halloween! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! I got just a tad bit of crafting in today but mostly I have been babysitting two kitties we acquired early last week. One of the cashiers at our local grocery store told Ed that somebody dropped two kittens off on her porch, and her dog and cats didn’t like them. They are about 8-10 weeks old, I’m guessing, and very friendly, so of course Ed said we’d take them. :| Our little feral/semi-feral family in our fenced back yard didn’t care much for them so Ed brought them inside this morning and they’ve been stuck to me like glue all day, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I discovered a little while ago that I have two Halloween cards that I haven’t shared yet, so here’s one of them. This was the very first pinwheel twist card I made last month for my son and his wife. They are so much fun!

I cut the pinwheel twist card base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and the panels for each side from Milachi Digitals Halloween papers, all on my Scan N Cut. I cut the haunted house element on my Scan N Cut from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, CutCardStock Curious Metallic Violette cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Orange and CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock. I stamped and die cut several other elements to decorate the sides.

And here’s a shot from overhead so you can see the pinwheel construction. Absolutely LOVE how this turned out! And my son and his wife loved it!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, CutCardStock Curious Metallic Violette cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Orange, CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock, Milachi Digitals Halloween papers
Stamps: Stampin’ Up Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set and Spooky Fun stamp set

Summer Gnomies

Happy Halloween, everybody! Hope you are having a great day, and if you are entertaining kiddos this evening, have fun trick or treating! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have an adorable Trinity Stamps Ambassador inspiration project to share this morning created with the super fun Wish You Were Here stamp set and coordinating Wish You Were Here die set! With Fall upon us (and in some cases Winter with snow, lol), I thought I could squeeze just one more Summer project in, and it’s a fun one! I absolutely love split panel cards and this one worked out great with the large gnomie image!

I cut a standard size A2 top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from the Pebbles Inc. Basics 6×6 paper pad, cutting a portion out of the front flap. Using the Wish You Were Here stamp set, I did my old trick of stamping the image in black ink, stamping once more in Versamark over top the black ink and then heat embossing with clear embossing powder. I love coloring embossed images! I colored the image with alcohol markers and cut it with the coordinating Wish You Were Here die set and adhered it to the card base. I stamped the sentiment (from the same Wish You Were Here stamp set) in black ink on the front flap and added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Amber Glow Embellishment Mix using the amazing Trinity Pick-Up Stick.

I embellished the inside with two coordinating prints and stamped the sentiment in black ink to complete the card.

And one more peek… I’m in love with this stamp set! Trinity Stamps has some of the cutest gnomes out there!

You are one of my sweetest Blessings

Hi friends! It’s Saturday and I hope you’re having a good one! I’m doing laundry, playing with kittens Stormy and Foggy (our two newest rescues this week… just in time for Halloween!), and intermittently playing in my studio! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this afternoon to share a sweet card I created for the new release over at Prickley Pear Stamps! The owners’ son and daughter-in-law have two of the cutest kids ever, and their names are Jack and Lily, and the new Jack and Lily Collection is all about them! I created an adorable and colorful thank you card featuring the Hello Lily stamp set and coordinating Hello Lily die set!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a layering panel and embellishing strip from CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock and layering panels from two coordinating Color Pop digital papers. I trimmed the digital papers to make one panel and adhered the strip of raspberry cardstock at the seam, adhered it to the raspberry panel and then to the card base. Using the Hello Lily stamp set and coordinating Hello Lily die set, I stamped Lily and all her elements on white cardstock, colored them all with alcohol markers and cut them with the dies. This was so much fun… like playing paper dolls as we did as kids! I adhered Lily to the card base, then added her clothes and shoes, and finally her ice cream cone. The finishing touch on the front was the addition of pink jewels.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the striped digital paper and CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on raspberry cardstock.

And one more look… I love bright colors and Lily is so adorable against this Color Pop digital paper!

Thanks a Latte!

Hi everyone! Happy Happy Saturday! It’s so hard to believe that we are nearing the end of October already. Now it won’t be long at all until that round jolly man with the beard makes his appearance! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Who doesn’t love latte?! I do, I do! I’m not a huge coffee drinker (hubs and I each have two cups every morning) but I do love iced coffee and latte, and indulge myself in a mocha latte whenever I’m near a Starbucks! Our new Iced Coffee Brads hit the store earlier this month and I paired them with our Brown Enamel Dots to create this fun thank you card.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering strip from Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock along with a patterned paper layer from The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn 12×12 paper pad (one of my all-time favorites) which I adhered to the card base. I cut a slightly smaller layering strip from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered it to the brown one in a wonky off-set fashion. I printed the Latte sentiment on Solar White cardstock and cut it in a wonky fashion as well with the My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX Die-namics. I also cut a slightly larger square die cut from the brown cardstock and adhered them together. I affixed two Iced Coffee Brads to the left side of the strip panel and adhered it to the card base. I added the layered square die cuts and several Brown Enamel Dots to complete the card front.

I cut the inside panel and a narrow embellishing strip from Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock. Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, I cut a panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered it to the brown cardstock panel along with the narrow embellishing strip. I stamped the large sentiment from the Wplus9 Hand Lettered Thanks stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… really happy with how this turned out! I absolutely love these new Iced Coffee Brads, and the enamel dots are some of my all-time favorites that I use on just about every Eyelet Outlet inspiration project I create, lol!

Friends we will always be

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week and you have something fun planned this weekend! Today is Day 5 of the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop and I have one last project to share! This has been a totally FUN week and I’m so glad I participated again this year! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! The Hop is going on until tomorrow, the 30th, but there will be some extra days left open for participants to finish posting their projects and to finish commenting. Be sure to come over and join us! A huge shout-out to Janis for organizing another successful Cat Lovers Hop – I can’t wait until next year’s, lol! And to all of those who participated this year, good luck in all the prize draws!

I created an adorable cat and dog friendship mini slimline card. I am loving clean and simple more and more every day. I used to be so intimidated by CAS and used tons of layers, but no more! And I’m not sure what has overcome me but I just can’t get enough of the mini slims! They are so stinkin’ cute and so fun to create! I’m loving the 3-1/2″ x 6″ size because they are legal to mail at the post office whereas the 3″ x 6″ size is not. And I used my new Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set to cut the layers for this one! Makes these mini slimlines so easy to create! ;)

I cut a mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set and a strip of patterned paper from the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Urban Collection for the bottom of the panel. I added narrow light brown and white strips to the top of the patterned paper panel for a little interest. I stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Blobby Flowers stamp set in the lower right corner in brown ink. Using the Impression Obsession Mini Critters die set, I die cut the cat and dog from white cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers, and added them to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several brown enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock along with a slightly larger panel from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set. I embellished the white panel with a strip of patterned paper from the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Urban Collection that I used on the front and a narrow strip of the light brown cardstock, stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Blobby Flowers 2 stamp set in brown ink, and layered the panels together.

And one more peek… this card turned out so cute! I love the cat and dog friendship theme, lol! They should be friends! ;)
