Family Floating Tile Card

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m stoked to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing April 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I like using stickers as the focal element on cards and employed the floating tile technique with the letter tiles on this mini slimline which really packs a punch. The floating tile technique is similar to the floating strips technique where cardstock strips are adhered to acetate and then popped up on foam to achieve the look of ‘floating.’ I’ve made a couple floating strips cards in the past and thought it would be fun to float some tiles! ;)

I cut a 3-1/2” x 6” mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with two layering panels and a flag from coordinating papers in the collection. I adhered the F-A-M-I-L-Y tiles from the sticker sheet to an acetate strip and popped them up on double-sided foam strips to achieve a ‘floating’ look. I added two floral die cuts from the upgrades and a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover piece of patterned paper used on the front. I trimmed the sentiment from a journaling card in the collection and layered it on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock.

Hi everyone! I hope it’s warming up where you are! It’s been so dang cold here that I’m ready for some REAL Spring! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today, created with the amazing April 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I really like all the coordinating tags and journaling cards that accompany the patterned papers in the kits each month, and for this card I used a couple tags as the focal element on the card front along with coordinating papers and upgrades in this month’s collection.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating papers and two tags. I tied some green crafting cord to the top of the tags before adhering them to the card front, then selected a large floral die cut from the upgrades which I tucked between the tags, and added a couple Eyelet Outlet green enamel dots.

I cut inside panels (one large and one small) from papers in the kit along with an additional tag. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the card. Another super easy design that went together fast!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m back with my second post this morning, this time to share a Keep It Simple inspiration project! Our design team celebrated the new product launch for the Vintage Truck Dies with an Instagram Hop and Giveaway about a week and a half ago (while our internet was down) and I showcased a fun acetate card for the Hop using this amazing die set! I wasn’t able to blog it at the time so I’m once again playing catch-up, lol! This was definitely a fun project – I’m totally smitten with this die set and can see lots more projects made with it!

I cut an acetate card base from Grafix Craft Plastic. Using the Vintage Truck Dies, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural, Basis Brown, Stardream Metallic Jupiter, Desert Storm and Bright Gold Foil cardstock, and several patterned papers from the Keep It Simple Clementine 12×12 Collection Pack. Like most projects with lots of pieces, the fun part is the assembly, and this one was no different! I added butterfly and sentiment stickers (from the sticker sheet in the Clementine Collection) to the assembled truck and adhered it to the card base. I adhered a truck outline die cut on the inside, cut from an additional paper in the Clementine Collection, so the SuperTape wasn’t visible through the acetate.

I die cut two additional truck outlines from Basis Natural, and adhered one to the inside and embellished it with a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet in the Clementine Collection. I adhered the other one to the back side of the card so the SuperTape wasn’t visible through the acetate.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m thrilled to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, stamps and dies in the new Bunny Season Collection! This is one of quite a few projects created while we had no internet and I was able to share them on social media but not blog them, so here I am! This super cute center easel card is so easy and I don’t even have to look at my instructions anymore because I’ve made so many of them over the years!

I cut the center easel card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered the panels with papers from the Bunny Season 6×9 Collection Pack and Bunny Season 6×9 Cardstock Pack. I stamped the picket fence from the Bunny Season Love Grows Here Collection Stamps twice in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I cut them with Bunny Season Love Grows Here Outline Dies and attached them to both sides of the easel.

I stamped the focal sentiment from the Bunny Season Spring Sentiments Stamps on Solar White cardstock in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, trimmed it and attached it to the easel. I stamped several flowers from the Bunny Season Love Grows Here Collection Stamps and colored them with Sharpie Ultra Fine Point markers. I cut them with the Bunny Season Love Grows Here Outline Dies and adhered them along the bottom of the card. I created a ‘stop’ for the easel and added several Back To Basics Clear Enamel Dots which completed the card.

And the best thing about this card is that folds flat for mailing!

A Simple Life

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a good day so far! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing April 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The coordinating papers, stickers and upgrades in this month’s kit are pretty awesome. You know I love me some fun folds and I created a front flap card featuring paper, stickers and upgrades from this collection. I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a smaller panel with a scored flap from 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered them together. I covered the panels with two coordinating papers from the kit, and added a variety of die cuts from the upgrades and stickers from the sticker sheet in collage fashion to the front flap. I also added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet popped up on two Darice double-sided foam strips and two Eyelet Outlet black enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel (visible from beneath the flap) from 80# Solar White cardstock, and added a sentiment and coordinating scalloped edge element from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock.

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! How did we get through another weekend so quickly?! I’m delighted to be back this morning to share one last ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I really like the die cuts in the upgrades in this kit. There are so many options for so many different types of cards that work up quickly, and any crafter with a busy schedule can certainly appreciate that! I created a pretty uplifting friendship card featuring a circular aperture in the front flap showing off a gorgeous foiled die cut.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock and die cut a circle into the front flap using a Spellbinders Standard Circles Large die. I die cut a frame from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock to go around the aperture using the same circle die plus one slightly larger, and added several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

I adhered a die cut from the upgrades into the opening using Stampin’ Up Dimensionals which completed the card. Super simple design that really packs a punch!

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Sure seems like Mondays are rolling around rather quickly! I hope your weather is warming up where you are, and if not, I have the perfect card to warm you up! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an adorable CAS-ish card featuring the You Are My Sunshine stamps which are part of the amazing Celestial Collection! Isn’t this sun and those little singing flowers just the cutest things you’ve ever seen?! I can’t stand it!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I stamped the sun from the You Are My Sunshine stamps in Catherine Pooler Limoncello ink on a yellow patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Lemon 12 x 12 Collection, fussy cut it, and adhered it to the card base. Next, I stamped those adorable little flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them as well. I stamped the rounded sentiment under the sun in Catherine Pooler Limoncello ink and adhered the flowers in the bottom right corner. The finishing touch was adding a few Darice clear gemstones.

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday! I hope you’re enjoying some beautiful weather this weekend! We are finally seeing some higher temps during the day although it still gets a bit chilly at night. I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with the super adorable new Pajama Party Collection! O.M.G. You haven’t seen CUTE until you’ve seen these products! I created a super cute step card using a variety of products in the collection which I paired with cardstock and dies in my stash!

Using the Creative Craft Products High Center Stepper Card die set, I cut the step card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layers from papers in the Pajama Party 6×9 Collection Pack and Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack. Next, I die cut a stitched mini scallop circle for the front from a pretty pink paper in the Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack and a second one for the back from Solar White cardstock using the My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Circle STAX. I chose a rainbow element from the Pajama Party Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces and popped it up on the front with double-sided adhesive foam strips. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots.

On the back circle die cut, I stamped a rainbow in Ranger spun sugar distress ink and a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink (both from the Pajama Party Stamp Set) which completed the card.

And here’s one more angled shot so you can see how cool the construction is! I love step cards, and dies make them so easy!

Spring Bendi Card

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend! In my quest to finally blog a handful of projects created while our internet was down, I have another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. The variety of the patterned papers and coordinating stickers in the March kit is amazing. As you know, I’m a fun fold fanatic so I created a Spring-themed bendi card from patterned papers and stickers from the collection!

Using the Hot Off The Press Bendi Card Cutting Dies, I die cut the bendi card base pieces from a pretty pink plaid paper in the kit and adhered the panels to each side.

I embellished the panels with stickers from the sticker sheet, Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine, an Eyelet Outlet mini butterfly brad and several small clear Darice gemstones. This project was so easy, it practically made itself, lol! ;)
