Fall Is Calling

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a truck-shaped Fall card! I used a variety of cardstock for this one – Solar White, Stardream Metallic Flame, Bright Gold Foil and Dolphin Gray, along with Hot Fudge, Red Hot, and Black Licorice from our Pop Tone line. I also used dies and die cut pieces from Keep It Simple.

Using the KIS Cuts Vintage Truck dies, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. Next, I cut the main truck body, rear end, and tail gate from Stardream Metallic Flame cardstock. I used Bright Gold Foil for the tail gate trim, bumper and license tag frame, along with Pop Tone Red Hot for the tail lights, Pop Tone Black Licorice for the tires, and Dolphin Gray for the window and mirrors.

I used the KIS Cuts Twinkling Stars Font to cut the F-A-L-L letters from Pop Tone Hot Fudge, and added the pumpkins and garland from the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Die Cut Pieces. The sentiment on the license plate was stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink using the Autumn Charm Collection Stamps. The finishing touch was adding a few small iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Hot Fudge and added a die cut oval cut with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies along with a sentiment from the Autumn Charm Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Today is World Photography Day and I’m sharing a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring a photo of our pup and items from our Max and Daisy Collection to celebrate the day! This flip flap shutter card is all about our girl, Tuffy, who will be a year old on October 13th. She’s a spoiled Forkie (Frenchie + Yorkie) and the cutest pup ever! I discovered this fun fold online several months ago, watched several videos, and settled on THIS video to learn how to make it. I’ve added the instructions to the Freebie section of my blog HERE if you’d like to learn how to make it. Despite it’s complex look, it really is not that hard. I enjoyed watching it come together!

I cut the card base and flaps from CutCardStock Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink cardstock, and layering panels from the Keep It Simple Max and Daisy Collection Pack and Back To Basics Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I printed the photo of Tuffy on glossy photo paper, trimmed it and cut it into three sections. I chose a sentiment from the ephemera in the Max and Daisy Collection Pack, and added a mini puffy sticker and a half-circle pull tab to the left side of the frame. I created this using a Stitched Circles Nested Die that I cut in half and added letters from the Clementine Collection Stickers.

I added two more sentiments and a ball from the ephemera sheet in the Max and Daisy Collection Pack, which completed the card. Here are angled and overhead shots with the flaps open.

Let’s Go Ghouls

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great weekend! Our weather out here in southwestern Colorado has been absolutely beautiful over the past few weeks. We haven’t gotten the sweltering heat (knock wood) that lots of other areas have been getting. I have a wonderful Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with our new Haunted Halloween Collection! OMGoodness, if you’re a Halloween fan, you’re gonna love this one! The papers are amazing and you won’t believe the size of the pack of die cut pieces… it’s called a mega pack and they aren’t lying, lol! I created a haunted house shaped card featuring papers and die cut pieces from this new collection paired with our KIS Cuts Build-A-House die set! I love shaped cards and this was a lot of fun!

Using dies in the KIS Cuts Build-A-House die set, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with layering panels (and house pieces and parts) from patterns in the Haunted Halloween 12×12 Collection Pack and CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. The assembly is always the most fun, and I enjoyed picking out the die cuts and sentiments I wanted to use, popping some of the pieces up on adhesive foam.

I embellished the top portion of the inside flap with the striped pattern paper used on the front and some die cuts. I added a sentiment from the die cut pack, which completed the card.

ROAR!

Hi friends! Happy middle of August already! Dang, where is the time going??! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #85. Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ so come on over and play! I zeroed in on the Keep It Simple collection called Boys Boys Boys to create this super cute dino card with a torn paper background. I saw this technique on Pinterest a while back and decided to give it a go. The prints in this collection are fairly bold so I used a vellum panel to tone it down a bit. Subtle or light prints would be fine to use without a vellum panel. This was fun and I will definitely be using this technique again!

I cut a standard side-folding A2 card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I created the background with strips of torn paper and then cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die. Since the background was busy, I used the next smaller stitched rectangle die and cut a panel from CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Vellum to tone it down a bit. I added a sentiment and two dinosaur stickers along with two Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a torn piece of patterned paper. I added another sentiment sticker and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock.

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a fun shaped card to share with you today for Keep It Simple created with our new KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed die set! I used acetate for the entire front of the card to resemble a clear plastic cup. And how about those vellum ice cubes… do they look real, or what?!

Using the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies, I cut the cup base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, the whipped cream and background and hearts from cream and brown papers in the Farmhouse Fall 6×9 Cardstock Pack, the straw from papers in the Rose 12×12 Collection Pack, and the ice cubes from CutCardStock Glama Natural Vellum cardstock.

As with any project like this, the most fun is the assembly! I added some coffee-colored yummies to the whipped cream that I pulled out of the Polymer Clay Assorted Sprinkles. I embellished the lip of the cup with several Rose Enamel Dots. And finally, I stamped the sentiment from the Sent With Love Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Sand Castle ink and cut it with the Sent With Love Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock using a die in the set, and added the sentiment cut from the brown paper used on the front using the KIS Cuts Ford Double Cut Font. This was definitely a fun one!

Fall Greetings

Hey everybody! I hope you had a good weekend and are keeping relatively cool. Our temps have reached the 90s here (while everybody else around us has been in the low 100s) and I’m now ready for Fall, lol! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a shaped Fall-themed card. Our orange, brown and gold cardstock is on sale this month so I used Coffee Bean and Brick Orange from our new Lessebo line paired with our Gold Glitter cardstock. I also used Lessebo Dawn Maroon and my studio staple, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. This is the first time I’ve used this background stamp from Taylored Expressions and I really love how this card turned out. I see lots of different color palettes being used with this stamp for various seasons or holidays. ;)

I started by stamping the background in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the Taylored Expressions In Bloom cling stamp. Then, using the coordinating clear stamps, I filled in the blooms and leaves using Catherine Pooler Daydream, Over Coffee, Peppermint Scrub, Tiara, Orange Peel and Eucalyptus inks. I added several small Eyelet Outlet clear glitter enamel dots to the center of three of the blooms.

Next, using the Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches dies, I cut the card base from Lessebo Coffee Bean and layering panels from Lessebo Brick Orange and the stamped Solar White cardstock panel. I die cut the F-A-L-L letters from Lessebo Dawn Maroon and Gold Glitter using the KIS Cuts Twinkling Stars Font which I layered together in an offset fashion. I stamped the second portion of the sentiment on a Solar White scrap in Icing on the Cake ink (using the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Autumn Sentiments stamp set) which I trimmed.

Using the same arched dies, I cut the inside panels from Lessebo Brick Orange and Solar White cardstock and embellished the bottom with leftover strips of the stamped background and gold glitter cardstock used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Autumn Sentiments stamp set on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, fussy cut it and colored the word ‘Fall’ with an alcohol marker.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Hi friends! Happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple inspiration project with you today – an extra one I made for our ‘Christmas in July’ showcase. Truth be told, I’m down for Christmas projects all year long, and this pocket card is one I had a lot of fun making! There are quite a few versions of a pocket card out there and I made this one from a single sheet of 12×12 cardstock. I have included my handwritten template in the Freebies section of my blog HERE. I used our Rose and Jade paper collections (I totally love a pink and green color combo), stamps and dies from our Scandinavian Christmas collection, our stitched oval dies, ribbon, and enamel hearts.

Using my template, I cut the card base from CutCardStock 80# Basis White 12×12 cardstock and trimmed slivers off each of the cut lines to ensure that the sections fold completely flat. I embellished each of the sections with papers from our 12×12 and 6×9 Rose and Jade Collection Packs. There are four decorated pull-outs in the pockets, leaving lots of room for photos and journaling. One of the pockets has a punched thumb notch and one of the outside sections has a die cut stitched oval.

I also added stamped images from our Scandinavian Christmas Santa and Friends stamp set, colored with alcohol markers, and cut with the coordinating outline dies. I embellished the belly band with a tag from the Rose ephemera, a stamped image, and stamped and fussy cut sentiments.

Here are close-ups of each section. This was definitely a fun one!

Postage Collage Hello

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a nice start to your week! I have a fun friendship card to share that I’m entering into the Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress contest hosted by Creative Scrapbooker Magazine! I recently won a gift certificate from Waffle Flower and purchased their Postage Collage bundle which consisted of stamps, two sets of stencils and dies. So I gathered 11 distress inks and used most of those products to create this card. To say I had fun is an understatement, lol!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and then die cut the postage collage using the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Dies. I gathered Ranger speckled egg, salvaged patina, shabby shutters, peeled paint, shaded lilac, villainous potion, cracking campfire, barn door, antique linen, fired brick, and fossilized amber distress inks, several blending brushes, the TE Stick & Stamp Mat, and the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Everyday Stencils, and stenciled the postage collage background. I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Stamps to stamp the postage details in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

It’s been a minute since I’ve done any stenciling and I really enjoyed it! I stamped the ‘hello’ sentiment in black ink using the Taylored Expressions Squeeze The Day stamps and then cut it with the coordinating die. I layered the panels on CutCardStock Wild Salmon and Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock panels. The finishing touch was adding several Pajama Crafter Stamps Night Out pearls.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, added a TE Simple Strips In Reverse- Everyday Occasions sentiment, and layered the panel on the Wild Salmon and Cherry Red cardstock. I stenciled the two tiny hearts on a scrap piece of Solar White, fussy cut them, and added them to the ends of the sentiment.

Back To School backpack mini album

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with our new Love to Learn Collection that was just released two days ago! I paired papers and die cut pieces in this collection with our KIS Cuts Backpack Mini Album along with a variety of stitched dies and paper packs in the Back To Basics line. Needless to say, I had a good time putting this together!

Using the KIS Cuts Backpack Mini Album dies, I die cut all the pieces for the base album from American Crafts Denim cardstock. I covered the pages with an assortment of patterned papers in the Love To Learn 6×9 Collection Pack. Each page is embellished with Love To Learn Die Cut Pieces, stitched die cut shapes, pull-ups, pull-outs, and/or papers with ephemera from the Back To Basics paper line. I used Royal ribbon for the straps, velcro circles for closures on the front flaps, and Glossy Accents to the tacks on the front flaps. I really enjoyed making this!

Paradise mini album

Howdy peeps! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the gorgeous July 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I’m so smitten with all the fun journaling cards and tags included with the papers in this month’s kit. I love to make mini albums and this one was created from five square kraft envelopes. The front features a beach scene from a journaling card to which I added some fun brads to complete the scene. Envelope mini album instructions are already available in the Freebies section of my blog HERE and these instructions can be used with any size envelopes.

I assembled the mini album from five CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft 5″ square envelopes and embellished each page with patterned paper from the kit. I also used stickers from the sticker sheet, tags and journaling cards from the paper pack, and clear stickers, chipboard pieces and ephemera from the upgrades. I included pull-outs and pull-ups, leaving plenty of room for photos and journaling. This was definitely a fun one!
