Let’s Get Together

Hi everybody! I hope you’re having a good weekend and maybe getting a little crafting in?! We are having some beautiful weather considering we’ve already had our first snow, but it’s pretty chilly in the northern part of the state. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have a fun Trinity Stamps Ambassador inspiration project to share this morning featuring the free cup dies that are tucked into Trinity Stamps orders. They are so adorable and I thought stacking them on a mini slimline would be perfect! I’ve had this card made for a couple weeks and I kind of wish I had waited until this past week to make it after receiving my mini slimline layers die set! Oh well… ;)

I cut the 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels cut from CutCardStock Pop-tone Spearmint cardstock and patterned paper from the Summer Blooms Floral Papercrafting Kit which I adhered together and then adhered to the card base. I die cut the three cups from other patterned papers in the kit and adhered them to the card front in stacked fashion. I stamped the sentiment from the A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set, trimmed it and adhered it to the card front with an adhesive double-sided foam strip. The finishing touch was adding gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Stamps Pick-Up Stick (which is a lifesaver!).

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Pop-tone Spearmint cardstock. I embellished the white panel with pattern paper and cardstock strips, stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in pink ink, and adhered the panel to the green layer and then to the card base.

And one more look… I’m digging mini slimline cards these days and really love how this turned out with the stacked cups!

Foiled Reindeer

Hi friends! I’m baaaaack… as I mentioned in my last post, I’m chomping at the bit to post a couple cards I created with my new Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, an early birthday present I received nearly a month ago. This thing is so stinkin’ fun I can’t stand it! All I’ve had time to create so far is a stack of sentiments and haven’t even used any of them on my projects, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! So this other card is a red tone-on-tone Christmas card with a fun reindeer-themed focal element and lots of shiny blingy gold!

Unfortunately, I could not get a good angled shot of this card… if you’ve ever worked with foil, you know how difficult it is to photograph! I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. Using the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine and Gold Foil, I created a background with the Scattered Dot Pattern Glimmer Plate on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock as well as the focal element using the Reindeer Games Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on the red cardstock. I cut layering panels from gold metallic foil cardstock and the foiled dot pattern, and adhered them to the card base. I adhered the foiled focal element and several gold glitter enamel dots. I decided at that moment that I should have layered the focal element on the gold metallic foil cardstock as well, so I painstakingly (lol) adhered super narrow strips around it. That achieved the look I was going for. ;)

I cut inside layers from gold metallic foil cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. I embellished the ivory panel with a leftover strip cut from the foiled dot pattern background on the front and two strips of gold metallic foil cardstock, adhered the layers together and then to the card base. I added a foiled sentiment created with the Holiday Sentiments Series 2 Glimmer Plates to complete the card.

And one more look… have I said how much fun I’m having with this new crafty machine?!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, Hygloss Gold Metallic Foil cardstock
Dies/Punches: Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Layers
Accessories: Tonic Studios 12″ Guillotine Paper Trimmer; Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, Glimmer Gold Foil, Reindeer Games Glimmer Hot Foil Plate, Scattered Dot Pattern Glimmer Plate, Holiday Sentiments Series 2 Glimmer Plates; Big Shot, Bearly Arts precision craft glue, Eyelet Outlet Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

I hope you’ve enjoyed this foiled Christmas card! Definitely not too late to get started on your Christmas projects! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you next time! ;)

Wishing You the Happiest of Birthdays

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m chomping at the bit to post a couple cards I created with my slightly early birthday present… a Glimmer Hot Foil Machine! I received it toward the end of September and all I’ve had a chance to create is a pile of sentiments – and I haven’t even used any of them on my projects, lol! What’s wrong with that picture?! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This machine is so much fun and I know I’ll be using it a lot. I read a bunch of reviews right after I ordered it and was kind of nervous about how seemingly difficult other crafters found it to be. I’m proud to say that I haven’t had any trouble whatsoever – I followed the instructions in the user manual and everything has turned out very nicely. I have noticed, though, that I have to be careful handling the foiled panels or the foil can get knicked up. This also happens with laminator-foiled projects as well.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. Using the Glimmer Hot Foil Machine and Silver Holographic Foil, I created a background with the Skinny Stripe Background Glimmer Plate on CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, as well as the focal element using the Happiest Birthday Glimmer Plate on the navy cardstock for a tone-on-tone look. Using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set, I die cut layers from silver metallic foil cardstock and the striped foil background, and adhered them to the card base. I adhered the foiled focal element and several silver glitter enamel dots to complete the front. Great masculine card!

Using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set, I die cut inside layers from silver metallic foil cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I embellished the white panel with a leftover strip cut from the striped foil background on the front and adhered the layers together and then to the card base. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment strip to complete the card.

And one more peek… I’m really loving the foil machine and plates, and see lots more foiled projects in my future!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Neenah Classic Crest 110# and 80# Solar White cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, Hygloss Silver Metallic Foil cardstock
Stamps: Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Birthday stamp set
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Dies/Punches: Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set, Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Asymmetrical die set

You’re the Sweetest

Hi everyone! Well, another week has come and gone and we find ourselves busting into another weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a sweet friendship card featuring our new Cupcake Swirl Brads that hit the store last week! Don’t these look super yummy?! I paired them with White Enamel Dots on the front and used a little bit of Valentine Washi Tape on the inside. This easy design is just the ticket if you need some uplifting friendship cards in your stash!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering strip from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with a pink patterned paper layering panel and strip from one of my favorites, The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn paper pad. I rounded the bottom right corner of the card base and layering panel, and adhered the panels to the card base. I adhered the strips together, added three Cupcake Swirl Brads toward the top, and adhered the strip vertically to the card base. The final step to complete the front was adding a die cut digital sentiment embellished with White Enamel Dots.

I cut a short panel for the inside from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, embellished it with strips of Valentine Washi Tape and stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Everyday Greetings stamp set, and layered it on a patterned paper layer.

And one more peek… such a fun friendship card that could be used for a variety of occasions! I’m in love with these cupcake brads!

Happy Holidays fun fold

Hi friends! Another Friday has come around and I hope you’ve had an awesome week! We have had some absolutely gorgeous weather here this past week, and even though a couple days were a little windy, we still enjoyed the temps. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a pretty triple pocket twist card that I created using the Ornaments Set 2 stamp set and coordinating Ornament die. This fold was showcased in a recent Splitcoast Stampers newsletter HERE and I knew it was one I wanted to try! You know me and fun folds, lol! ;)

I cut the triple pocket base from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with layering panels from Hot Off The Press Poinsettia Passion double-sided cardstock which I adhered to the card base. I did a little masking with the ornament I created for the focal on the front of the card. Using the Ornaments Set 2 stamp set I masked off the image inside the ornament and stamped the Happy Holidays sentiment inside the border. I cut it with the coordinating Ornament die and added gold cord as the ornament hanger. I wrapped a length of burgundy checkerboard satin ribbon around the card and tied it in a bow, adhering the ribbon to the back of the card and adhering the die cut ornament to the front of the ribbon. The card opens to reveal three small cards in the inside pockets which I cut from CutCardStock Basis Burgundy cardstock with layering panels cut from the poinsettia cardstock and ivory cardstock.

I added CRAFTplorations Comfort & Joy Clear Stickers to the three small cards inside.

And one more peek… I thoroughly enjoyed creating this card! And the stamped and die cut ornament is just the ticket for the focal on the front!

Hydrangea twisted gate fold

Hi peeps! Happy Hump Day! I’ve got to run an errand this morning so I thought I’d get on real quick and share a pretty card (taking a break from Halloween cards, lol) before I get too busy. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! Proud to be up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog again this morning with another fun fold – a twisted gate fold card. This is truly one of the prettiest folds out there and when created with the gorgeous Sketched Florals – Hydgrangea stamp set it’s just stunning! Their Sketched Florals line is amazing!

I stamped the Sketched Florals – Hydgrangea image on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and cut layering panels. I cut the twisted gate fold card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock along with purple dotted patterned paper layering panels. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in purple ink, cut it with a My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics die and adhered it to the front. I added Clear Star shimmer to the centers of the flowers to finish the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of purple dotted patterned paper and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers For Beautiful You stamp set in purple ink and layered the panel on dark purple cardstock.

And one more peek… I do so love this fold, and this stamp set is just gorgeous!

Flying by with a Halloween HI

Hi everybody! Happy Tuesday to you – I hope your week has started off nicely! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m back up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with another Halloween card! It’s that time of year, you know! ;) I created a fun fold using the super adorable Bats stamp set, Bats 2 stamp set and coordinating Bat die. I’ve made several of these free standing pop-up cards in the past and they are definitely fun and pack a huge punch. I dug into one of my favorite paper pads for coordinating papers in the traditional Halloween colors!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and adhered patterned paper layers cut from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad. I cut the stand-up portion of the card from CutCardStock Basis Orange cardstock (which they no longer carry, unfortunately) and a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock which I embellished with leftover pieces of the patterned paper. Using the Bats stamp set and Bats 2 stamp set, I stamped a sentiment and some bats in purple, green, black and orange inks. I stamped a separate bat on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock in black ink, cut it with the coordinating Bat die and adhered it to the front of the box portion of the card.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover piece of the patterned paper. I left this panel blank for a custom message and signature.

And one more look… super fun card in traditional Halloween colors! Love, love, love these bat stamps and die!

Happy Birthday, Hot Stuff!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I’ve been in my studio for a while today and thought I’d pop in this evening to share a super cute card I created for The Outlawz Challenges October Freebie/Progressive Challenge. Our sponsor this month is Oddball Art Co. and we were gifted the awesome Tiff’s Garden digital image to play with! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve had this image printed for a couple weeks now and just couldn’t decide what kind of card I wanted to create. She’s one of Oddball’s ‘Creepy Cute Girls’ but I didn’t want to create another Halloween card, so I came up with a zig-zag fun fold birthday card!

Using my own template, I cut the zig-zag card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock and FPTFY Color Pop holiday digital paper that I already had out on my desk from another project. I adhered the layers together and then adhered the panels to the card base. I cut the image with a stitched oval die and colored it with alcohol markers. I layered it on a slightly larger stitched oval die cut and adhered it to the front of the card.

I treated myself recently to several sets of Taylored Expressions Simple Strips with the coordinating Assymetrical die, so I used three of the sentiments from the Birthday set on this card. I couldn’t resist a little humor, lol! ;)

And one more look… this was such a fun card to create! The bright colors really worked with this super cute image!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Free Pretty Things For You Color Pop holiday digital paper
Stamps: Oddball Art Co. Tiff’s Garden digital image, Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Birthday
Ink: Arteza alcohol markers- BR28, B32/37, G15, R35/43, BG54, YG22, NG02, YR15; Pentel Slicci gold pen
Dies/Punches: Memory Box Stitcheed Oval Layers, Taylored Expressions Simple Strips – Asymmetrical die
Accessories: Tonic Studios 12″ Guillotine Paper Trimmer, Big Shot, Bearly Art precision craft glue, Imaginisce hot pink adhesive gems

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project and will come over and join in all the fun at The Outlawz Challenges! Lots of fun going on! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you next time! ;)

Merry Christmas Fun Fold

Hey, everybody! A very Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a marvelous weekend and you were able to do something fun! We had our first snow nearly a week ago and I loved every minute of it! Snow is just so beautiful when it’s falling! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! It’s been a minute (2015, lol!) since I created a teepee card (look HERE if you’re interested) so I thought it was time to revisit that fun fold! I used the awesome Vine Circle Chipboard Embellishments to create this Christmas card in non-traditional colors of pink and green! I’m always in Christmas mode and I’m really happy with how this card turned out!

I created the card base from white cardstock, cut layering panels from green cardstock as well as coordinating pink and green patterned paper panels which I adhered to the card base, and then added a round magnet closure. I used both of the Vine Circle Chipboard Embellishments and created Christmas wreaths. I mixed white chalk paint with several drops of green India ink and painted the large one, and mixed white chalk paint with several drops of magenta India ink and painted the small one. Once dry, I dabbed glue on them with a sponge and sprinkled clear glitter on them. I embellished the large green wreath with iridescent gemstones and the small pink wreath with white flat-back pearls for interest and different textures.

I adhered the wreaths to the front of the card and added a stamped and silver embossed sentiment cut with a fishtail die. The final step was adding a few more pearls at the bottom.

Here are shots of the other two sides. The cool part is that this card folds flat for mailing! Be sure to see my tutorial on the Clear Scraps blog if you’re interested in seeing how it was made!

BOO!

Hi friends! I hope you are having a beautiful weekend! It’s nice and chilly here, and we are all healthy and happy, so life is good! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with another fun Halloween card. This latch card features the super adorable Bats stamp set, Bats 2 stamp set and coordinating Bat die. I absolutely love the fold but I’ve only made a few of them over the years. My problem is that my tutorial files are about 6″ thick and there are just too many to choose from, lol! The BOO! die cut is the latch that the circular element slides under to keep the card closed.

I cut the card base and circle die cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock along with layering panels and slightly smaller circle die cuts from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and coordinating papers from the Halloween 6×6 Cardstock Pad. I stamped the large bat from the Bats 2 stamp set, cut it with the coordinating Bat die (along with one additional bat cut from black cardstock) and adhered them to the circular panel in a layered fashion. I stamped the small bats and BOO sentiment from the Bats stamp set. I added the large BOO! die cut to use as the latch to keep the card closed. I cut the inside panel from another coordinating paper from the Halloween 6×6 Cardstock Pad and layered it on CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and spider web from the Bats 2 stamp set to complete the card.

And one more look… super happy with this fun card! Absolutely loving both of these stamp sets and coordinating die!
