from one crazy bird to another

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun friendship card featuring NEW brads in the store along with some washi tape and yep… you guessed it… (my favorite) enamel dots!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a slightly larger panel from American Crafts Peacock cardstock which I adhered together. I cut a panel from some tropical leaf paper for the right side and then added a narrow strip of the Peacock cardstock along with a strip of Silver Skinny Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiments in teal ink, then stamped an assortment of tropical leaves on white cardstock scraps in teal and green ink, die cut them and arranged them on the card panel. The final step was adding two Tropical Bird Brads and three Green Enamel Dots, and adhering the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of tropical leaf paper and a narrow strip of Peacock cardstock, stamped the sentiment in teal ink, and layered the panel on the Peacock cardstock.

And one more peek… so happy with how this turned out! Love it when the paper and stamps coordinate so well, and the card comes together easily with these amazing brads, washi tape and enamel dots!

‘Cut out to be friends’ matchbook

Hi everybody! I hope you are having a fantastic week! Man, they are flying by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning with another fun little matchbook – I used the Craft Room set this time! So fun! When I finished the 20 commissioned Mother’s Day cards (I still have several to share, by the way), I moved on to nine samples for Prickley Pear Stamps which I finished yesterday and photographed with my new Canon Rebel T7. You’ll see those a little later on. I’ve had the Canon for a little over a week and finally got brave enough to try it out… and wow, talk about A LOT for this old brain to comprehend!

This matchbook was probably the last project destined to be photographed with the old DSLR camera that I was totally comfortable with and knew like the back of my hand. I’m sad it has to be replaced but life goes on. I’m actually looking forward to making a few changes going forward – I’m still using the tripod but have discontinued the lightbox. I typically shoot four pics of each card and I’m cutting down to three. And I’m considering cutting down the narratives on my projects as well, with the goal of shorter posts since I seem to have less time these days. I work way ahead so you’ll still be seeing some longer posts with more photos that have been scheduled for a while. Okay, back to the matchbook!

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Aqua cardstock and used CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock for the window trim on both sides and the rug. I stamped all the elements on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies.

Here are shots going around the outside and a shot of the itty bitty envelope. ;)

And one more look… I can’t get over the detail on these – loving the die cut machine on the cabinet and the paper cutter on the bottom shelf, lol! On to the Den Set next, so stay tuned! ;)

Happy Father’s Day

5/3/21 Winner at Pammie’s Inky Pinkies Challenges!

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had an amazing week! Hard to believe it’s the last day of April already! I’m delighted to be back on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a super clean and simple Father’s Day card in a navy blue and white color combo. You know how guys are… the simpler, the better, lol!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock, along with narrow panels cut from Neenah Classic Linen Solar White 100# cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, which I layered together and adhered to the left side of the card base. Using the Tutti Designs Fancy Tie die, I cut the tie twice from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, layered them together for slight dimension and adhered them to the narrow panel. I stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink, which completed the card front.

For the inside, I also cut narrow panels from Neenah Classic Linen Solar White 100# cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, layered them together and adhered them to the left side of the panel. I stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! This is the true definition of CAS!

MOM

5/3/21 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!

Hi everybody! Hope you’ve had a great weekend! I’m working on a few more commissioned Mother’s Day cards and have popped in this evening with another one to share! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This card features the ‘Mom’ stamps and dies from Pretty Pink Posh and I think I’m in love! I really enjoyed coloring these florals and designing this clean and simple card!

I stamped the floral MOM letters on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, colored them with Bic Mark-Its and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with a slightly larger layering panel and another set of MOM letters from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock. I die cut the word ‘happy’ from CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock thinking ‘never in a million years would I have ever thought I would pair pink with red’ – but it totally worked on this design! I adhered the layering panels together, then adhered them to the card base. I adhered the floral letters to the red cardstock letters, off-setting them just a bit, and adhered them to the card front. I stamped the sentiment in black ink beneath the die cut letters, and the finishing touch was adding the pink die cut ‘happy’ just above the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory 80# cardstock, stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! And yep, I like the pops of pink and red together! ;)

Mother’s Day Flowers

4/30/21 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!
5/2/21 Winner at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend! Our weather is getting better by the day, and the hubs has started planting fruit and veggies in the garden! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this evening to share a super cute Mother’s Day card. I’ve been commissioned to make quite a few Mother’s Day cards so you’ll be seeing them mixed in with my design team projects over the next couple weeks. ;) I knew the Honey Bee Stamps Flower Pot Card die set would be perfect so I made several of these this afternoon!

I dug into my Papertrey Ink cardstock stash and used Canyon Clay and Pure Poppy for the flower pot, along with scraps of Prairie Grass, Bright Buttercup, Orange Zest, Tropical Teal, Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf, and Vintage Jadeite cardstock for the flowers and leaves. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the front of the flower pot prior to assembling it, and once assembled, I embellished it with small clear gemstones.

I cut the pull-out card from Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise cardstock and adhered a panel of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock to it and stamped the simple sentiment in black ink.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I’ve only used this die set once before and made these flowers a bit different. Love all the color! ;)

8/15/22 CAS Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a pretty clean and simple thank you card using more of the new brads in the store along with my favorite enamel dots! This card came together really quickly!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base and a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I stamped flower stems and leaves in green ink in the bottom right quadrant of the layering panel, and then stamped the sentiment in pink ink just to the left of the stems and leaves. I added five Colored Daisy Brads and adhered the panel to the card base. The final touch was adding several White Enamel Dots to complete the front panel.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of pink striped paper, stamped the sentiment in green ink and adhered the panel directly to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… such a pretty CAS design to say thank you! Loving these new daisy brads!

Happy Friday, friends! I’m thrilled to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the amazing Glitter cardstock that’s on sale this month so be sure to get some! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a pretty thank you card featuring a lacy glittery panel with a single lavender bud.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with layering panels from Stardream Metallic Amethyst cardstock and Basis Dark Purple cardstock which I adhered together. I die cut two lacy panels from Silver Glitter cardstock, trimmed the ends off of each and butted them together to make one longer panel. I stamped and die cut the lavender bud and layered it on three more plain die cuts for some dimension. I stamped the sentiment and layered it, then added three white enamel dots to finish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the amethyst, silver glitter and dark purple cardstock, stamped the sentiment in purple ink and layered the panel on the dark purple cardstock.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! These purples are so pretty, and that silver glitter cardstock is amazing!

Traveler’s Notebook

Hi everybody! Oh, Happy Day! I hope you’re having a good one! I’m back this morning with another fun post… my first Traveler’s Notebook! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had with this! I’ve been seeing these notebooks in various forms around the web for a good while now so I decided to try my hand at making one. I’ve actually had the notebook and inserts with tags done for a couple months, and finally added die cuts for photos and journaling yesterday, so now it’s complete and ready to mail. ;)

Here’s a huge shout-out to Doodlebug Design for making the most awesome 6×6 patterned paper EVER – all of the patterned papers are from various Rainbow Petite Prints paper pads plus another one of theirs that I’ve had in my stash for many years. I used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for all 13 of the white tags slid into the pockets. There is a pocket inside the front cover, and there are three tri-fold inserts that each contain four pockets each with white tags and little doo-dad pulls at the top of each one. And here’s another huge shout-out to STAMPlorations for making some pretty awesome dies in their CUTplorations line that I used for die cuts on a number of the pages for photos and journaling. I used a Cottage Cutz die to create some double-stitched oval die cuts on a few of the pages as well (these are some more of my favorites). The cover is laminated and has an elastic cord to hold it closed. This was definitely a labor of love and I have plans to make a few more.

This was a booger to photograph… what with the problems I’m having with my old camera, the slick laminated cover sliding around (and casting a shine), and pages that would not open completely without holding them… so I did the best I could, lol!

And last but not least, here’s a flip-through. ;)

‘Make a little wish’ matchbook

5/2/21 Top 5 at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog!

Hi friends! Hope your week is starting off great! Mine started with a doctor appointment… new insurance January 1st means a new primary care provider and I only put it off four months, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this evening with a fun birthday matchbook I created for a birthday coming up soon. Squeal – I’m HOOKED on matchbooks! OMG, they are so tiny and so stinkin’ fun!

I cut the base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and used a primarily-purple color scheme, with purple polka-dot paper on the base, and I cut the window frame, rug and sentiment panel from CutCardStock Basis Dark Purple cardstock. This was the first one I made and I learned a few tricks along the way for the next ones, lol!

I stamped all the elements on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies. So sorry about these close-ups. My camera is on it’s way out. It’s eight years old and doesn’t seem to hold settings anymore. Macro and super macro are blurry, no white balance (which is a nightmare in the light box), it literally gobbles up batteries in two or three uses so I have to keep it hardwired all the time, it no longer reads SanDisks so I have to connect it directly to the laptop with a USB cable to upload my pics… I could go on and on. I guess after eight years I’ve gotten my money’s worth. So my new Canon Rebel T7 shipped out today and I will hopefully have it in a few days. I can’t wait… :P

Here are shots going around the outside of the matchbook and with the little envelope. ;)

And one more peek… I can’t stand it! I’ve been looking at these sets for the past few months and finally gave in! So stayed tuned for a few more, lol! I treated myself to the birthday, den, kitchen and craft room sets! “Warning: Matchbooks are addictive!” ;)
