Let’s Celebrate Tag Card

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week is off to a great start! I mentioned in my post yesterday that the September 2022 Scrapbook Kit has arrived in the ScrapbookingStore and I’m back this morning to share another DT inspiration project. I really like all the birthday-themed papers, coordinating stickers and upgrades in this collection. And you know me – I love having a variety of birthday cards in my stash, and I’m particularly fond of florals and bold patterns, so this kit is a ‘win-win’ in my book!

I’ve been on a mini slimline kick lately because it’s such a great size. I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slim card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Flamingo cardstock and a floral pattern paper from the collection.

I cut a matching floral tag from the collection and layered it on three layers of cardstock for dimension. I added a bamboo cord loop and the flower portion of an icon paperclip from the upgrades to the top of the tag, as well as a scalloped border and sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet to the bottom of the tag. I cut a die cut alpha from the upgrades in half and adhered the halves beneath the tag. The final touch was adding 5mm pink pearls to the bottom of the tag.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the floral pattern paper and Flamingo cardstock used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on Flamingo cardstock.

3-D High Heel

10/28/22 Design Team Favorite Winner at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you’re having a great long Labor Day weekend enjoying festivities while honoring working people! The September 2022 Scrapbook Kit has arrived in the ScrapbookingStore and I’m excited to share the first of this month’s DT inspiration projects! You know how I love me some paper shoes and since I don’t have any high heels in my collection, I created a 3-D high heel using a pretty dotted pattern paper in this month’s kit. And I’m playing around with some staging for my projects and have decided on this tree trunk slice and mini lantern along with a die cut doily and some eucalyptus. Let me know what you think!

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut the shoe base, insole and interior pieces from light pink cardstock, and the panels from a dotted pattern paper in the kit. I adhered a flower sticker from the sticker sheet to a scrap piece of white cardstock and fussy cut around it. I assembled the high heel and adhered the flower embellishment with a thick double-sided foam circle.

Here are a couple angled shots. The dotted pattern paper and flower embellishment in this collection made a casual but elegant high heel which would be a welcome addition to any paper shoe collection!

Kickin’ it cowgirl style

9/14/22 Top 3 at FarmQuest Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday to you all – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! We are waking up to cooler temps here in southwestern Colorado and it’s wonderful! I’m absolutely delighted to share my debut Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring stamps and dies from the new Little Cowgirl Birthday release! OMGoodness, can you say adorable?! I used the Little Cowgirl Birthday Collection Stamp & Die Bundle and Little Cowgirl Birthday Sentiments, as well as the Back to Basics Rose Collection Pack and Back to Basics Rose Enamel Hearts already in the store for this split panel birthday card!

I used Basis 110# White cardstock for the A2 size card base and adhered panels cut from the Back to Basics Rose Collection Pack. I stamped the image from the Little Cowgirl Birthday stamps in black ink, stamped it again in Versamark, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored the image with alcohol markers and die cut it with a die from the coordinating Little Cowgirl Birthday outline dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Little Cowgirl Sentiments stamps in black ink in the upper right corner, then adhered the image to the card front. I added tiny iridescent gemstones (from my stash) to her dress and two Back To Basics Rose Enamel Hearts which completed the card front.

For the inside, I adhered a panel cut from the Back to Basics Rose Collection Pack. I added two smaller panels and a strip cut from Basis White cardstock, then stamped the sentiment (from the same Little Cowgirl Sentiments stamps) in black ink.

And one more look… I really love how this card turned out! The products in this new release are amazing and so fun to work with! You can’t go wrong with a cowgirl-themed birthday card! ;)

Christmas Truck Box Card

9/30/22 Top 3 Creation at Scrapping4fun Challenges

Hi everybody! I hope you’re having a great week and not working too hard! We are loving life out here in our happy place with gorgeous scenery and weather! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #46 – Anything Christmas Goes! I am a certified Scan N Cut fiend and can’t seem to get enough of my machine, lol! I have made SO many fun 3-D projects this year and this box card created with the Simply Crafty SVGs Christmas Presents Truck Card cut file is one of them. How stinkin’ cute is this?!

I cut all the pieces from American Crafts Crimson cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock; CutCardStock Gold Glitter, Silver Glitter, Basis Brown, Basis Dark Red, Basis Black, Stardream Metallic Silver, and Royal Sundance Linen Emerald cardstock; POW Cricket Glitter cardstock, Basic Holiday 6×6 Cardstock Pad, and Christmas Holiday Print 6×6 Cardstock Pad. I stamped sentiments in black ink on the tailgate panel and back sentiment panel using the STAMPlorations Warm Hands Warm Hearts stamp set. I ran the side and tailgate panels through the Big Shot with a Sizzix Texture Fades Snowflake Pattern Embossing Folder for some fun texture. Then the major fun began… the assembly! I always love assembling 3-D projects and watching them come to life!

Here are angled and back shots.

And one more look… folded flat and ready to mail! This was a blast and could be taylored for any occasion by tweaking the elements a little bit (for example, omitting the tree and using birthday or anniversary papers for the presents)! So fun!

Sending Love at Christmas

Hi friends! Happy Thursday to you all! Well, we’re another couple months closer to Christmas! Are you closer to being ready for that round jolly man to appear?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #70 – Anything Goes! I’ve created a Christmas card for this challenge using the adorable Prickley Pear Stamps Two Snow Ladies stamp set and these two lady birds have it going on! This was a fun card to color and put together! Green is my favorite color so I went with varying shades of green with a pop of red!

I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with two snow drifts cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using a die in the Prickley Pear Stamps Stitched Scalloped Border die set. I adhered the snow drifts together and then to the bottom of the card base with Retractable Tape Runner. I stamped the birds from the Prickley Pear Stamps Two Snow Ladies stamp set in Catherine Pooler Midnight ink on solar white cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them, and then adhered them on the snow drifts. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Sequins.

I stamped the inside sentiment from the same Prickley Pear Stamps Two Snow Ladies stamp set in Catherine Poole Icing on the Cake ink, and this completed the card.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out and I’ve already earmarked it for a certain somebody this Christmas! ;)

Celebrate with some smooshing!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday and happy 1st day of September! Dang, it sure got here fast! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #61 – Anything Goes + optional Smooshing featuring floating strips with the smooshing! The technique twist is never mandatory to play in our challenges, but I sure hope you try the smooshing technique if you’ve never tried it before – it’s so much fun! Most of the time it’s done with distress inks and water on watercolor paper, but I tried it with alcohol inks and blending solution on Yupo paper and it turned out so cool! Just be sure to wear gloves, lol!

I created the smooshed panel using lemonade, citrus and sailboat blue alcohol inks, Ranger alcohol blending solution and Ranger Yupo paper a couple days before I created the card. I like to wait at least 24 hours before playing with an alcohol ink panel just to be sure it’s good and dry. I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with an acetate panel cut from Grafix Craft Plastic. I trimmed the smooshed panel into strips, adhered them to the acetate with Retractable Tape Runner, and trimmed the panel to be slightly smaller than the card base. I applied Darice double-sided adhesive foam strips to the back of the panel and adhered it to the card base. I die cut the sentiment from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock and adhered it to the next to the last strip with Bearly Art precision craft glue. I added several YNS navy blue Glitter Gumdrops to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip trimmed off the front panel and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. I affixed a CRAFTplorations Happy Happy Clear Sticker and adhered the panel to blue cardstock.

And one more look… this alcohol ink smooshed panel is amazing! And of course the sky is the limit with regard to colors and the random patterns you get! Fun play! ;)

Mother’s Day Tulip

Hi friends! Happy Thursday to you all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week and your weather is starting to cool down a bit. One thing that attracted us to Colorado 5-1/2 years ago is the gorgeous weather year-round! We don’t have much humidity here, so the summers and winters are bearable – typically not too hot and not too cold – but I have to say that we felt the heat slightly more this summer. Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #157 – Anything Goes! I’m sharing another Mother’s Day card that turned out so pretty in a nontraditional orangey-pink with black color palette. I think I’ve mention previously that if there was ever an award for ‘most Mother’s Day cards shared on a blog’, I’d probably be a recipient! I am commissioned every year to make Mother’s Day cards, so I always have an abundance to share!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from American Crafts White cardstock, along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Stampin’ Up Sweater Weather DSP, and Crafter’s Companion Verity Rose 6×6 paper pad, which I layered together and adhered to the card base. I stamped the tulip from the Concord & 9th Painted Tulip stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black, Morocco and Bamboo Leaves inks on a white cardstock panel, and adhered the panel to the card front. I heat embossed the front sentiment in Hero Arts white embossing powder on black cardstock, trimmed it, and adhered it to the front.

I cut the inside panel from American Crafts White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the Verity Rose patterned paper used on the front and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Inspired By Stamping You Are stamp set in black ink and layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more peek… I’m very pleased with this design! This was one that I created in multiples because it was so easy. And it was well received – they were purchased rather quickly, lol!

Thanks So Much Mini Slimline

Howdy, friends! Happy Fri-YAY! I hope you have a good weekend planned and will be doing something fun! I have a pretty Tape Runner DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring some of my favorite dies, and of course, all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. I used the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Foliage Frame die and Reversed Scallop Mini Slimline dies which look amazing together. For the sentiment, I used Waffle Flower Bold Alpha dies along with the Waffle Flower Sentiment Additions stamps and dies which also look amazing together. I think I love this card, lol!

As mentioned above, all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. Wet glue was used only to adhere the sentiment, leaves and gemstones. I cut a mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Next, I die cut the foliage frame from CutCardStock Bright Gold cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Foliage Frame die and a reversed scallop frame from Basis Dark Red cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Reversed Scallop Mini Slimline dies which I adhered to the card base.

I die cut the thanks sentiment from Basis Dark Red using the Waffle Flower Bold Alpha dies and adhered it to the card front. Using the Waffle Flower Sentiment Additions stamps, I stamped the second portion of the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Cranberry Fizz ink on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating Waffle Flower Sentiment Additions die, and adhered it to the card front across the large thanks sentiment. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Ruby Radiance Embellishment Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with a die cut reversed scallop frame cut from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Reversed Scallop Mini Slimline dies. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Cranberry Fizz ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… really loving how this card turned out! OMGoodness, I love it when a card turns out exactly the way I envisioned it! And, of course, it’s held together with the best adhesive, Tape Runner!

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Hi friends! A big ol’ Happy Thursday to you all! I hope your week is going nicely and you’re looking forward to a great weekend! I’m back this morning with my second inspiration project for the Artful Angel August new release! I’ve had a good play with the Fall Fun stamp set and have created a mini slimline note card featuring another one of the super adorable little red pandas getting ready to land butt-first into a pile of fall leaves! This card also features some new favorite mini slimline dies from Kat Scrappiness! ;)

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. Using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage Stamp Edge Dies, I die cut a layering panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock, and using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Dies, I die cut a frame from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and layered them together with the Baronial Ivory layering panel sandwiched between them. I stamped the sentiment on the layering panel in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I stamped the panda and leaves images in Memento Espresso Truffle ink on a Baronial Ivory scrap, colored them with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. I ran a Memento Rich Cocoa marker around the edges of the images for a more finished look, and adhered them to the panel on 1mm thick foam squares. I finished the card front with a few randomly placed Kat Scrappiness gold pearls.

I die cut the inside panel from Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock using the postage stamp edge mini slimline die and adhered a Baronial Ivory cardstock layering panel to it. Since it’s a note card, I left the panel blank with plenty of room to write a custom message.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I just can’t get over how stinkin’ cute this stamp set is! AND I’m delighted to have gotten to use these awesome mini slimline dies! ;)
