jolly

Hi friends! I hope you have something really fun planned this weekend! Today is my baby boy’s 37th birthday and I keep asking myself ‘Where have all these years gone?! He was just a baby yesterday!’ It’s been so awesome watching him grow and develop into the wonderful man and father he’s become! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! This clean and simple Christmas card features three different Sizzix die sets and was so fun putting together!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and die cut the holes in the bottom of the front flap using the Sizzix Festive Repeat Thinlits which I backed with a piece of silver glitter vinyl. I die cut the Santa snowglobe from the Sizzix Tiny Snowglobes and colored all the pieces with alcohol markers. I die cut the ‘jolly’ sentiment from CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock which I adhered under the snowglobe. The final touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet snowflake brads (prongs removed) popped up on Stampin’ Up mini dimensionals.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a couple strips of CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, cut it with a Spellbinders Standard Circles die and layered it on a slightly larger circle die cut.

Merry Christmas twister

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and are headed into a fun weekend! How about another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project?! You know how much I LOVE Art Impressions stamps and dies, and the Twister line is another one of my favorites, so I created a fun twister card using the Santa Twist Set stamps and dies!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel and aperture frame from two coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Art Impressions Twist Frame Dies, I cut the aperture into the front flap and layering panel, and adhered the frame. I adhered two narrow strips to the sides cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Santa Twist Set stamps over the aperture and then stamped Santa’s front and back sides (from the same stamp set) on Solar White. I colored Santa with alcohol markers and cut him with the coordinating Santa Twist Set dies.

I adhered another panel from a coordinating print in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack on the inside (visible through the twist aperture), and stamped another sentiment from the Santa Twist Set stamps in black ink.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week – it’s almost the weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock and Cougar Smooth White cardstock that I paired with a pretty foiled sentiment. This design is super simple, has some great texture, and would be easy to mass produce with different sentiments.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. Using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Die, I die cut three stitched frames from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and one from Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock. I adhered the white frames together for dimension and reserved one of the negative space rectangles for the inside panel.

Using the Sizzix Bohemian Botanicals 3-D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, I dry embossed the black negative space rectangle (after spritzing the back side with a little water) to use as the focal panel on the card front. I created the sentiment using a Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Hot Foil Plate along with Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and a foil roll from the Glimmer Hot Foil Spellbound Variety Pack, and cut it with the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Die. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

The inside panel consisted of one of the Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock negative space rectangles and the Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock frame. I added a sentiment created with a Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Plate, Glimmer Hot Foil System and Glimmer Hot Foil Gold Roll, and cut it with the coordinating Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Die.

Backpack Summer Memories Mini Album

Howdy peeps! I hope your week is winding down nicely and you’re looking forward to a fabulous weekend! I’m absolutely delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the super awesome Lumberjack Collection that was released back in October of last year! This is such a fun collection with loads of gorgeous papers, stamps and die cuts, and I thought a backpack mini album was in order! I’ve made a few of these over the years and they are really quite fun! The original design came from an old Technique Junkies CD that I’ve had in my stash for probably ten years but I ended up reconfiguring the measurements several years ago because my laptop doesn’t have a CD-ROM. It’s a simple design, though, that’s easily replicated.

I cut the base, inside pages and journaling card from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock. The front pocket and panels were cut from a variety of patterns in the Lumberjack 6×6 Paper Pack. I embellished the journaling card and every other page in the album with a variety of Die Cut Pieces, Cards & Ephemera and Scene Building die cuts.

I die cut a variety of square, circle, rectangle and oval shapes from the Desert Storm cardstock using CottageCutz Double-Stitched Rectangle dies and Double-Stitched Oval dies along with My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX, Stitched Rectangle STAX, Double-Stitched Square STAX, Wonky Stitched Circle STAX and Wonky Stitched Square STAX. I used these to embellish the alternating pages, so there is plenty of room throughout the album for photos and journaling.

I used an Eyelet Outlet gold rim yellow jewel brad with a small disc magnet closure on the front flap, a tiny disc magnet closure on the pocket flap, and Really Reasonable Ribbon brown gold-edge ribbon for the straps.

It’s Christmoose

Howdy peeps! I hope you are enjoying some of this glorious weather and you’re not in one of the ‘melting’ states. I feel so bad for all those people dealing with scorching temps! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. This clean and simple Christmas card features a circular aperture and the most adorable little moose peeking out! I won this Clearly Besotted stamp set about three years ago and have only used it a couple times, so it was time to bring it out for another play!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock and punched a circular opening using the Stampin’ Up 2″ circle punch. I die cut a square from a green plaid paper in the Keep It Simple Jade 12×12 Collection Pack using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Square STAX die and punched a circle in it to adhere over the aperture. I stamped a sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Merry Christmoose stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The finishing touch to the front was adhering several Eyelet Outlet red sequins.

I stamped a sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Merry Christmoose stamp set in black ink along with the adorable little moose (seen through the aperture) which I colored with alcohol markers.

Merry Christmas fun fold

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! It’s unreal that we’re already on the downslide to the end of June! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share… I hope you aren’t getting tired of seeing them because I sure am enjoying sharing them with you! This Merry Christmas double flap fun fold is one of my favorite designs and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I totally love a pink and teal color combo for Christmas!

I cut the card base and flaps from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and rounded the corners. I cut layering panels from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and coordinating papers from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad.

I stamped the reindeer from the Hero Arts Jingle All The Way stamp set on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and ultra fine point Sharpies, and cut it with the coordinating Jingle All The Way die. I die cut the ‘merry’ portion of the sentiment from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock using the die from the Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut, then stamped stars and the other portion of the sentiment from the Merry Stamp & Cut as well.

Here are shots of the card opening up with the inside sentiment stamped from the Merry Stamp & Cut. So fun!

Hey everybody, Happy Monday! I hope you’re having a great day! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share. This clean and simple Christmas card features the Hero Arts Color Layering Holly stamps and dies which I just love!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock. I stamped the holly images from the Hero Arts Color Layering Holly stamp set in Catherine Pooler Sage, Eucalyptus and Spruce inks, and cut them with the coordinating Hero Arts Color Layering Holly dies. I stamped the sentiment in Eucalyptus ink and adhered the stamped and die cut images to the card front. I added Eyelet Outlet 8mm red cut jewels to the images for the holly berries and a few 4mm white pearls to the background.

In keeping with the CAS design, I simply stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Eucalyptus ink.

Hey everybody! Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! My dad was pretty amazing but has been gone since 1975, so my wishes to him are directed toward Heaven! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. You know how much I love the Art Impressions Matchbook series, and I have a fun Santa/Christmas-themed one to share. These are so stinkin’ fun and I won’t stop until I’ve made all of them, lol!

I cut the base from Polly’s Paper Studio patterned paper using the Matchbook Template Die. I stamped all the elements from the Santa Christmas stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Santa Christmas dies. I always enjoy the assembly the most! ;)

Here’s a shot of the back of the matchbook and another shot showing the tiny envelope created with the Matchbook Envelope Dies and a coordinating patterned paper. So fun!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good weekend and doing something fun in this glorious weather! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog sharing an inspiration project featuring the Mini Owls stamp set and coordinating Mini Owls die set! These are so fun and versatile, and I created a half flap card in monochromatic yellows that would be so easy to mass produce for birthdays or congrats, or even friendship!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and used my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer to create the half flap. Next I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the branch and sentiment from the Mini Owls stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and extended the branch out just a bit with a Copic black multi-liner pen. I stamped an owl on Solar White in black ink, colored it with two gray alcohol markers, and cut it with a die from the coordinating Mini Owls die set. The finishing touch was adding several gray gemstones.

hello Summer Days Z-Fold

Howdy peeps! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I used papers and stickers as well as ephemera and adhesive brads from the upgrades in this month’s collection to make a Z-fold. The Z-fold is probably one of the simplest fun folds to make and they sure do pack a punch!

I cut a standard A2 size Z-fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pinwheel patterned paper in the collection. I chose a coordinating journaling card, layered it on another patterned paper and adhered a chipboard pinwheel to the center. The finishing touch was adding two large clear adhesive brads from the upgrades.

I cut the inside panel from the patterned paper used for layering the focal image on the front. I ran strips of Me & My Big Ideas navy blue star skinny washi tape to outline the inside area and then adhered pinwheel and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet.
