Congrats Fun Fold

Hey everybody! Well, another weekend is behind us and we’re that much closer to Christmas! I hope you had a pleasant weekend with some nice temps! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis White cardstock which is another staple in my studio. It makes awesome card bases and is great for stamping and coloring. Alcohol markers blend really nicely on this cardstock without leaving any lines. Interestingly, this congrats card has no stamping or coloring; it’s made entirely with die cuts, and really IS a fun fold! ;)

Using the Creative Craft Products Double Gatefold die set, I die cut the card base from Basis 80# White cardstock, and all the layer pieces from Darice Ooh La La Prints cardstock. I assembled the panels, and as I always say, the assembly is the most fun!

I die cut the sentiment twice from Pop Tone Black Licorice and Flamingo cardstock using the STAMPlorations Congrats word die, adhered them together in a slightly offset fashion and then to the card base. I added some Eyelet Outlet 5mm clear gemstones that I colored with an alcohol marker, which completed the card.

And one more look… this is admittedly one of my favorite die sets, and I love the black and white with pop of the Flamingo pinkish-orange! The Basis White cardstock is a must-have, for sure!

Hi friends! A very Happy Monday to you all – I hope you had a great weekend! Our new challenge is live over at Ally’s Angels this morning and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #63! I created a pretty foiled thank you card using the bleaching technique. All of our challenges are Anything Goes, so the sky is the limit for creating a handmade project! Come on over and play!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with a layering panel from Hygloss Metallic Gold Foil cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers Dies. I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Gold Glimmer Foil, and Skinny Stripe Background Hot Foil Plate to create the background and adhered it to the gold metallic foil layering panel and then to the card front.

I used the Trinity Stamps First Bloom stamps and dies on GKD Black Onyx cardstock for the focal image which I heat embossed with Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder, bleached, and colored with Karin Brushmarkers. I created a sentiment with the Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and adhered it on Scrapbook Adhesives Black 3D Foam Squares. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers Dies, and embellished it with a leftover striped foiled piece trimmed from the front panel. I stamped the inside sentiment (from the Altenew Painted Butterflies stamp set) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layered the panel on metallic gold foil cardstock.

And one more peek… really loving how this turned out! What a gorgeous way to send a thank you!

Let’s Hang Out

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! They sure are going by fast! I’m stoked to be back on the Printable Cuttable Creatables blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Having small children at home years ago always made Halloween fun, and we even had a yearly tradition of a costume party! We’re all in different states these days so we settle for the occasional card. I used the Let’s Hang Out Bat SVG File which I paired with paper from the Halloween Treats Digital Paper Pack to create this adorable Halloween card!

I cut all the pieces for the focal element from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice, Grape Jelly and Sweet Tooth cardstock using my Scan N Cut and the Let’s Hang Out Bat SVG File. I assembled it and set it aside. I cut a square card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Orange and an argyle digital paper from the Halloween Treats Digital Paper Pack which I adhered together and then to the card base. I added a strip of Doodlebug Design Limeade Swiss Dot washi tape across the bottom of the front panel for a little interest, and then adhered the focal element. The finishing touch was adding a few Eyelet Outlet green enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the argyle digital paper and Basis Orange cardstock used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from The Project Bin Cool Ghoul stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and layered the panel on orange cardstock.

Joyful Jingle slanted flap

10/8/22 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend and you’re doing something fun! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today as a guest designer with a fun inspiration project! I created a super cute Christmas card with a fun slanted flap that features some of the cutest Santa & Deer Brads you’ve ever seen along with Red Snowflake Bling and gemstones from the 3mm Clear Jewel Bling Strip! I mentioned in my post last Saturday that we have some new products in the store, and you need to check them out!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from Doodlebug Design Dot-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 cardstock, and cut the bottom of them off at an angle. I adhered an angled panel at the bottom of the inside flap using a coordinating pattern from the same cardstock pack, and stamped a sentiment from the Stampingbella Festive Gnomes Sentiments stamp set. I created a raised angled element and added Santa & Deer Brads. I embellished the front with Red Snowflake Bling and several 3mm gemstones from a Clear Jewel Bling Strip.

I added one single strip of cardstock at the top of the inside flap, which completed the card.

Don’t buy Brother products!

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday to you! I’ve popped in this morning strictly to rant. Remember the ‘awesome’ Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e that I raved and raved about earlier this year and recommended to everybody?! Well, I rescind any and all recommendations I previously made! Don’t buy it! In fact, don’t buy any Brother products because they don’t care about their customers.

The touch screen stopped working this morning on my machine so I went to the website and did all the troubleshooting steps recommended, which didn’t help. I spent the next hour with Brother customer service who was absolutely no help at all. No one in customer service knows anything about warranties for any of the gazillion kinds of machines Brother sells; they don’t do warranty work so they’re not required to know anything about warranties.

So I was referred to a quilting store 3-1/2 hours away which is an authorized Brother service center. I’ve had this machine for less than a year and now I’m faced with having to spend 14 hours on the road… a 7-hour roundtrip to deliver the machine to be repaired and another 7-hour roundtrip to pick it up after the repair is made. I just called the quilting store to ask if the malfunctioning touchscreen is a warranty issue since it’s internal, and the repairman won’t be on-site until later today, so the lady who answered the phone couldn’t tell me anything. Now I wait to hear back from him so I can make a determination whether the cost of the repair (if it’s not under warranty) is worth spending 14 hours on the road (with the price of gas) versus what I paid for the machine.

This is a pretty major flaw considering the price of the SDX125e. PLUS I’ve had the machine for a mere ten months. PLUS Brother customer service representatives have absolutely no knowledge of warranties on all the kinds of the machines they sell. PLUS Brother customer service basically just passed the buck without offering any help. In my opinion, the very least they could have done was (1) find out whether the repair would be covered under warranty and (2) offer to pay postage to ship the machine to the quilting store 3-1/2 hours away. Am I being unreasonable?

Okay, rant over. Y’all have a good day! :D

Scrappy hugs,

Leaping Lizards Birthday

10/15/22 Top 3 at The Crafter’s Cafe Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day and happy early birthday to me! Tomorrow is my birthday and then Friday I have a consultation with a hand surgeon to talk about possible carpal tunnel release. Yay me. On a lighter note, I mentioned several days ago that I was invited to guest design for InkyStamper for the month of October, and I’m thrilled to share another guest design project using the super adorable Iguana stamps and die! The look on this guy’s face is hysterical as are all the different sentiments – I love this set! I created a half flap card with a birthday theme in my favorite shades of green which is only fitting for a lizard! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock and trimmed away the top half of the flap with my Fiskars 12″ SureCut Paper Trimmer. I cut three panels of varying shades of green from the Doodlebug Design Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints cardstock pad for the top half of the card and a panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Limeade cardstock for the bottom flap. I hand-cut a tree limb from CutCardStock Vanilla Bean cardstock and adhered it to the bottom flap.

I stamped the iguana in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 110# Solar White cardstock and colored him with alcohol markers. I cut him with the coordinating die and then adhered him to the tree limb. I stamped the sentiment on Solar White cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the top portion of the card on an adhesive foam strip. The finishing touch was adding a few green sequins I picked out of the Picket Fence Studios Rainbow Sequins.

The inside is very simple with another sentiment from the Iguana stamp set stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.

Saddle On Up

Hey everybody! How’s your day going?! Life is beautiful here in southwestern Colorado and we’re totally enjoying our slightly cooler Autumn weather! I’m stoked to be back this afternoon with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share! You know how I love me some shaker cards, and this one featuring products from the new Little Cowgirl Birthday release is the absolute sweetest one ever! I used the Little Cowgirl Birthday Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, Little Cowgirl Birthday Die Cut Pieces and Little Cowgirl Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set, along with the Back To Basics Rose Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock and Back To Basics Rose Enamel Hearts which are already in the store.

I cut a top-folding square card base along with layering panels from the 6×6 Collection Pack and the 6×6 Rose Collection Pack, and adhered the floral panel to the card base. I made a frame out of the rose panel and added several Scotch 3M Foam Strips to the back side. I adhered the large cowgirl on pony die cut from the Die Cut Pieces to the background panel, and added some Kat Scrappiness hollow square confetti (free sample with an order). I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on a lighter shade of rose cardstock in the Rose Collection Pack, punched it with a circle punch and layered it on a slightly larger Solar White cardstock punched circle. I added a Rose Enamel Heart to the punched sentiment, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with leftover strips of cardstock from the 6×6 Collection Pack and the 6×6 Rose Collection Pack used on the front, and stamped another sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set in Rich Cocoa ink.

Hey Chickee!

Hey everybody! I’m back with one last post on this fine Saturday morning! I’ve been asked to guest design for InkyStamper for the month of October, and I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had playing with their super adorable stamps and dies! So stay tuned for posts every Wednesday this month! ;)

Now for the surprise… Chickee is being released today for World Card Making Day! The stamp set is FREE with a $30 purchase and the die is only a $5 add-on! How awesome is that?! I had the privilege of creating a fun shaker note card using these stamps and die as an extra project, which I paired with Doodlebug Design Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 double-sided cardstock (some of my favorite cardstock!) and Picket Fence Studios Rainbow Sequins from the store. What friend wouldn’t love to get a card featuring this gal?!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from Doodlebug Design Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints which I adhered to the card base. I stamped Chickee on Solar White cardstock, colored her with alcohol markers, and cut her with the coordinating die.

I cut a frame from CutCardStock Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock using the Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stuck some 7 Gypsies Architext Tall Base Chicken Wire to a piece of acetate cut to fit the frame, and adhered it to the back side of the frame. I laid the frame on the card front to get an idea of where to stamp the sentiment and adhere the image, and once that was done, I added four Scotch 3M adhesive foam strips to the back of the frame, laid down some Picket Fence Studios Rainbow Sequins, and adhered the shaker to the card front. I adhered three loose yellow sequins, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it strips of the gingham and yellow cardstock used on the front. I left the panel blank, leaving plenty of room to write a custom message.

Hi friends! Well, another Saturday has rolled around but that’s not a bad thing, right?! I hope you’ll be doing something fun this weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring some of our Curious Metallic, Pop Tone and Basis cardstock that I paired with Royal Sundance Natural Felt cardstock. I created a pretty birthday card using these gorgeous Fall colors. I’m still on the push for Fall and some cooler weather, lol!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Sundance Felt 110# Natural cardstock. I die cut the main focal element from Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock along with strips from Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Pop Tone Hot Fudge and Basis Gold, which I adhered to the underside of the die cut. I adhered the focal element to the card base, and added several gemstones from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm orange Jewel Bling Strip, which completed the card. Doesn’t get much easier than this! ;)

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and layered the panel on Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock.
