heck, yeah!

Hi friends! Happy Sunday – I hope your weekend has been a beautiful one! I can’t brag enough about our weather – seems that Autumn is here and we’ve been having the most wonderful temps! I actually had to put on leggings this past Thursday and that’s actually not a bad thing! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #86. Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ so come over and play! This month we’re introducing a new ‘spotlight winner’ category in conjunction with our random winner and top picks. We love choosing a random winner because it gives everyone playing in our challenges a chance to be a winner. The spotlight winner will be chosen on merit along with our top picks.

For this challenge I’m sharing an explosion card that I sent to my daughter for her 40th birthday. And let me tell you – it does indeed explode – and there should be a confetti warning but there’s not! Bahahaha! These are made with the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Card Punch Board and I’ve made a few of them over the years. They are truly some of THE most fun cards I’ve ever made. Whenever I send one I always wish I was a fly on the wall to watch the mayhem when it’s opened, lol! I’ve come back to update my post with THIS WRMK YouTube video showing the card being made and then toward the end (about 1:40) it shows a mini explosion. I put a ton more confetti in mine so the explosion is much bigger, lol! ;)

I cut the card base from American Crafts Sunflower cardstock, the layering panels and envelope from Stampin’ Up Daffodil Afternoon DSP, and the sentiment/signature panels die cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth White cardstock using a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die. The heart shaped confetti is punched with the punch board as well. The card itself was super simple to assemble, and the finishing touch was adding a few Keep It Simple Lemon Enamel Dots to the sentiment panel. Here are shots of all four sides.

And here’s one final shot of the card in the envelope. I wonder if the ‘pull here’ and ‘hold here’ (stamps included with the punch board) gives a little bit of the surprise away when the recipient receives it, lol!

Life Is Sweet shaker cards

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to share an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. You may remember that our new Shaker Kits debuted on the website back in early August. We have a Facebook Live craft-along planned for October 5th to celebrate World Cardmaking Day where several members of our design team will demo the Life Is Sweet and Freshly Brewed kits. These are available as a bundle to purchase prior to the FB Live if you’re interested in joining in! But in the meantime, I’m sharing two cards I made with the Life Is Sweet kit. I’ll share the other two cards I made with the Freshly Brewed kit on the day of the Live.

The card bases, adhesive foam, acetate, frames, ephemera, and shaker bits are all included in the kit. I made my cards a little different than the samples on the package. I added Back To Basics Mango and Rose Enamel Dots to the center of the flowers on the front of my first card.

And this is my second card. I have a confession to make… I messed up the scalloped frame included in the kit so I had to go to Plan B… I die cut another frame from a paper in the Back To Basics Mango Collection Pack using a die in the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #3. I honestly don’t think anybody would ever notice but I wanted to share that the A2 Frames work with this kit! These cards turned out so cute and the only extra ingredient needed to make them is adhesive. I used two kinds of double-sided tape and some small foam pads for dimension. I love that everything else is included!

Fall vibes

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today that I created with our NEW Nuts About Fall Collection! This tented easel card is fun to make and really packs a punch! And it couldn’t be simpler – cardstock size is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2″, making the folded card 4-1/4″ square. Front layering panel is 4″ x 4″ and bottom layering panel is 2-1/4″ x 4″ with a white layering panel for the inside cut at 4″ x 4″. Boom. Easy.

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack. I used a Wavy Borders die to cut a panel for the truck to park on. The truck was stamped on patterned paper along with the front sentiment, pumpkin and acorns on Solar White cardstock (all from the Collection Stamps, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink), and cut with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I colored the pumpkin, acorns and a few elements on the truck with markers in my stash and popped some of them up on foam squares. I cut the sentiment for the bottom flap from a sheet in the Collection Pack and popped it up on foam squares as well to use as the ‘stopper.’ The final touch was adding a few Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the bottom flap. I stamped an inside sentiment and leaf from the Collection Stamps in Rich Cocoa ink which completed the card. Oh, I love this!

Love Bus

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! It’s the first week of September already and I have to ask just where has this year gone?! It’s crazy how fast the time is flying by! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute box card. I used the Love Bus Box Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick along with my Cricut Explore Air 2 and quite a variety of our cardstock. Us Baby Boomers all have a lil’ hippie in us and this turned out so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it! What a fun way to say hello to a friend!

I cut the card base and inserts from Cougar 100# White 12×12 cardstock. I used Basis Coral, Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Pop Tone Blue Raspberry, Poodle Skirt Pink, Cougar White, and Pink Tutu for the flowers. I also used Basis Coral for the LOVE word outlines on the inserts but unfortunately it’s no longer in stock. There are other coral cardstock options that could be used instead.

Next, I used Wild Salmon for the bus side panels and two flowers, and Poodle Skirt Pink for the LOVE word. Additionally, I used Lava Stone Gray and White for the head lights, Pop Tone Red Hot for the tail lights, and Jet Stream Blue for the windows. And finally, I used Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lava Stone Gray and White for the wheels, along with Wild Salmon and White for the signature panel on the back.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun, and I totally enjoyed putting this box card together. Here are angled shots of the front and back – and I love all the details they’ve included!

Using the Keep It Simple Bizzy Hands Peace Gnomie stamp set, I stamped the peace sign (colored with alcohol markers) and sentiment on the back panel in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Like all box cards, this folds flat for mailing and fits in an A7 envelope cut from a gingham paper in the Simple Stories Wood & Gingham paper pad.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great weekend! Has it cooled off any at all where you live? Our Summer out here in SW Colorado really hasn’t been too bad; we haven’t even reached 100 degrees which I consider a good thing! Today has been super busy on my blog but I have one more project to share – a side accordion panel card created for Keep It Simple using our Stars & Stripes Collection released in June. I really like this easy fun fold (and have made several like it) although it has a few different names depending on where you see it. I’ve watched videos by Lisa Curcio and Sharon Armstrong although there are quite a few others on YouTube.

Here are the mini instructions: Cut the 5-1/2″ x 11″ card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock, score at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″, and fold on all the score lines. Cut a smaller folded piece from Cherry Red at 3″ x 6″ and score at 3″. From coordinating prints in the Stars & Stripes 6×9 Collection Pack, cut three 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panels for the left side, a 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the right side, and two 2-3/4″ square panels for the smaller folded piece. Cut one additional 2-3/4″ square panel from white cardstock for a sentiment. Embellish as desired.

I fashioned a bow from the Back To Basics Stars & Stripes Ribbon using a little wooden bow maker my awesome friend gifted me last Christmas, and added gnome and sentiment die cut pieces to the front. I stamped a sentiment on the white panel and added another die cut piece. I added several stars from the Back To Basics Stars & Stripes Enamel Shapes, which completed the card.

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend AND you’re ready for a brand new month! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #9 – Anything Goes with Featured BINGO Card. I created what I’m calling an upright Z-fold which features the Art by Mi Ran Fairy Lily stamp set sold by Keep It Simple. This fold has characteristics of a Z-fold, an accordion fold and a reverse easel card I made last year. I know… it’s a strange combination but I like how it turned out! :D

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock and layering panels from dotted patterns in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the Art by Mi Ran Fairy Lily image on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Die. I cut a slightly larger stitched rectangle from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and layered them together. I stamped the sentiment from the same Fairy Lily stamp set on Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock. I cut the rounded half with a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die and fussy cut the lower half, and popped it up on foam squares to tuck the focal image panel under.

I cut a small panel from Cougar Smooth White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the small dotted pattern from the Royal Collection Pack and stamped a sentiment from the same Fairy Lily stamp set. I’ve included an angled view so you can see the construction.

Hi friends! I hope your weekend is going going along nicely and you’re doing something fun! Seems the weekends pass by just as fast as the week days! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #11 – Sapphire & Opal + optional Friendship. I have several Spellbinders 3D Vignette die sets in my stash that have never seen the light of day and this is one of them. I used both sapphire and opal colors to make this fun friendship card that folds flat for mailing. I love that!

Using the Spellbinders 3D Vignette Hot Air Balloon die set, I cut the balloon pieces from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Sapphire, Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Bright Silver Foil cardstock. I cut the base, balloon reinforcement pieces and the clouds from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Using dies in the same set, I cut the sentiment strip from Stardream Metallic Sapphire and Bright Silver Foil cardstock.

This was so much fun to assemble and it was amazing watching it come to life! I can attest that this die set is a definite must-have for your crafty stash!

Snowflake Ornament

Hi friends! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend and your weather is wonderful! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m super excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #58 – Anything Christmas Goes! I had fun making a see-through shaker ornament for this challenge featuring the oh-so-pretty Prickley Pear Stamps Snowflake Inserts stamp set and coordinating Snowflake Pendant die. I used Kat Scrappiness Artificial Snow and Pearl Glass Dots for the shaker mix and I love how it turned out!

I started by die cutting two stitched circle frames from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested dies along with two acetate circles using the larger of the two dies I used for the frame. Next, I die cut two snowflakes from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Eris cardstock using the Prickley Pear Stamps Snowflake Pendant die. I stamped the candy cane image from the Prickley Pear Stamps Snowflake Inserts stamp set on CutCardStock Pop Tone Sweet Tooth cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and punched it with the Stampin’ Up 1-1/4″ circle punch.

I assembled each side of the ornament by adhering a frame and snowflake die cut on top of an acetate circle. I adhered the stamped image to the center of one of the snowflake die cuts and added Eyelet Outlet pearls to the snowflake – this would be the front of the ornament. I flipped the bottom layer of the ornament over to expose the acetate side and applied GKD shaker strips around the outside perimeter of the circle.

I added the Kat Scrappiness Artificial Snow and Pearl Glass Dots for the shaker mix and then closed up the shaker by adding the front layer and lining up the snowflake die cut. I adhered 1/8″ white ribbon between the front and bottom layers of the ornament to conceal the shaker strip foam. The final step was adhering a loop of GKD gold cording and a small green gingham bow (fashioned from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Ribbon) with my cordless glue gun.

Thinking of you

Howdy peeps! Can you believe it’s the first day of September already?! Seems like the new year just started, lol! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #73 – Anything Goes + optional Smooshing! Remember that all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and the technique twist is optional and not required to play! Do what inspires you! I have to admit that there’s nothing more relaxing to me than spritzing a little water over ink and then smooshing paper into it! No matter what color(s) you use or how much (or how little) ink you use, the look is different every single time – and I love that! This card features the older Gina K Designs Simply the Best stamp set, Ranger fossilized amber distress oxide ink for smooshing, and Catherine Pooler Twilight, Black Jack and Midnight inks for stamping. I totally love how it turned out!

A standard A2 size side-folding card base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I also cut two layering panels from CutCardStock Yellow Jacket Textured 4×6 cardstock and one from Lessebo Granite Gray cardstock. Finally, I cut a layering panel from Tim Holtz distress watercolor cardstock and created the smooshed background using a Tim Holtz distress sprayer and Ranger fossilized amber distress oxide ink. I trimmed the panel and stamped a leaf image (from the GKD Simply the Best stamp set) multiple times in Catherine Pooler Twilight, Black Jack and Midnight inks. I stamped the sentiment (from the same GKD stamp set) on a scrap piece of Yellow Jacket cardstock, trimmed it and added it to the panel on a double-sided foam strip. The finishing touch was adding several Stampin’ Up Classic Matte Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with leftover strips of Yellow Jacket and Granite Gray cardstock used on the front. I stamped a leaf from the same GKD stamp set in Twilight ink and the sentiment in Midnight ink, and layered the panel on Granite Gray cardstock.

Sending Smiles and Sunshine

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fantastic day! Our new challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m tickled to share my inspiration project for LTCCB #82 – Anything Goes! I’m always making fun folds and created a side panel pillar card that my friend, Debbie, over at Secrets To Stamping shared on her blog a while back. I’ve made several of these and it’s definitely a fun one. I used some of the brightest Doodlebug Design papers in my stash which happen to be some of the oldest, lol! Sometimes I have difficulty cutting into papers that I really like and yet other times, I tear right into them! Doesn’t make any sense! ;)

I cut the card base and a layering panel from CutCardStock Astrobrights Lunar Blue cardstock. The remaining layering panels were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, CutCardStock Pop Tone Limeade and Doodlebug Design Nifty Notions 6×6 papers. I ran the Limeade panel through the Big Shot with the Lifestyle Crafts Polka Dots embossing folder.

I added a piece of ephemera (from the Spellbinders Wild Hello June 2021 Kit of the Month) for the front sentiment which I cut with a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die and embellished with a bow fashioned from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 5mm turquoise gemstones.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the colorful plaid Nifty Notions paper used on the front. Using a die from the Spellbinders Wild Hello June 2021 Kit of the Month, I die cut the birthday sentiment and added a fussy-cut flower, also from the Nifty Notions paper used on the front.
