Chandler Purse with set of 6 Notelets

Hey everybody – I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with a pretty Chandler purse and set of six notelets tucked inside. Well, you know I love me some paper purses, and the Chandler purse is actually one of my favorite purses to make. Of course, it’s always fun to add a set of notelets! I used stamps, dies, and lots of pretty paper and cardstock in my stash along with a nice variety of Scrapbook Adhesives products to bring this project to life!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to know more. The Chandler purse was cut from CutCardStock Basis Black and assembled with Crafty Power Tape. I embellished the handles and closure with strips of CutCardStock Strawberry Cream cardstock which I adhered with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips and added small black brads from my stash.

I employed the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique using yellow, blue, green and pink foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors along with 3D Foam Strips for the angled embellishment in the lower right corner. Then again using a large 3D Foam Circle with blue glitter on the closure. I added two 5/8″ velcro circles underneath the closure flap. I just love how this turned out!

Now let’s look at the notelets I tucked into the Chandler purse. I cut six 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ bases from CutCardStock Basis Black, layering panels from assorted prints in the Vicki Boutin Bold & Bright 6×8 paper pad, and inside sentiment panels from 80# Solar White cardstock. I adhered all the panels with the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.

I cut a flower for each notelet using the flower die from the Vicki Boutin Floral and Butterfly dies – inspired by a friend who used this awesome die for an inspiration project on another DT. I cut the flower from an assortment of cardstock from CutCardStock (listed below) and adhered one to each notelet with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Here For You stamp set on the front of each notelet in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Since the notelets were an odd size, I designed a pocket envelope (which can be seen in the tutorial) that I made from white 65# Hammermill copy paper. These notelets are so fun and were perfect to tuck into the purse!

Party Treat Bags

07/18/26 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends – Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a set of party treat bags. You’ll remember me mentioning in my post a couple weeks ago that we were assigned a ‘special project’ (a three-piece ensemble for the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Trade Show Booth) and this set of birthday party treat bags is Part 2. You’ve seen the chocolate bar, so now I bring you the treat bags… every birthday party needs a cute little bag to hold the treats and favors, right?!

I used cardstock from CutCardStock, the Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn, papers and die cut pieces from the Keep It Simple Happy Birthday collection, and quite a few awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives. All three pieces of my ensemble show off the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique which I have fallen in love with, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you really need to! These were so fun to make!

I used the super cute Goodie Bag die from Lawn Fawn. The bags feature CutCardStock Pop Tone Grape Jelly and Basis Light Lime cardstock, in addition to CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, Lessebo Splash, Pop Tone Wild Cherry and more Pop Tone Grape Jelly for the rosettes. Used Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies and EK Success 3/4″ Circle Punch to make the rosettes.

Of course, as mentioned above, I employed the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique for the circles in the center of the rosettes. Also used Keep It Simple Happy Birthday 12×12 Collection Pack and Die Cut Pieces. I typed the verbiage for the name tags on my laptop and printed them on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock prior to cutting them with the ticket die in the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip Cutting Dies.

And here is the green one. For demonstration purposes, I only made two, but you could make as many of these as you’d like. They are THAT fun! Be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog to see how I made them!

A Day At The Beach

07/18/26 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re ready to have some fun this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #360 – Make Your Own Background. I used the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, and of course the background looks like a watermelon! It’s a box that can hold all sorts of things from treats to jewelry to money or a gift card! And who doesn’t love eating watermelon at a party… especially a beach party?! This has to be one of the easiest challenge themes of all time because there are so many ways to make your own background. I hope you can join in the fun with us!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cyndy G SVG Watermelon Milk Carton SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Kale Green, Granny Smith, Pink Tutu, Pop Tone Black Licorice, and Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock. The assembly was a breeze, and the final step was adding a sentiment sticker from the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit. You can opt to close the top with a clothespin, small paper clip or some other type of closure, but I chose to glue it like a real milk carton.

And here’s one final shot of the lid off the box. How stinkin’ cute is this?!

Make A Creative Mess

06/30/26 Rising Star honor at A Place To Start!
07/16/26 Top Pick at Festive Friday Challenge!

Hi friends – I hope you’re preparing for a nice long weekend if you’re in the States. We are officially half-way through the year and our nation’s 250th birthday is tomorrow! Woot-Woot… how cool is that?! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today. I used a KIS Kits: 6×6 Blank Trifold Album – White to create this very cool mini album which features papers, die cuts and enamel dots from our Craft Mode collection! You know mini albums (along with fun folds) are my jam, and this one was a blast to make! If you’re a fellow mini album maniac, these kits are for you – and they come in white and black! ;)

The kit contains six trifold pages that you can glue together and decorate any way you want. I made mine with pockets and tags, pull-downs, pull-outs, and pull-ups, and added a scored spine. The sky is literally the limit with these! I used lots of items from the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack, Die Cut Pieces, and Enamel Dots. Also used lots of our Ribbon Packs and foam squares (from our Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Foam Squares & Strips).

Here are shots of all the pages, open and closed. This was so stinkin’ fun and I had THE best time putting it together! It won’t be too long before I make one in black (I already have the papers lined up), so stay tuned!

Just Married 3D Pop-Up Vignette

06/20/26 Top Rocker honor at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends, a groovy Hump Day to you! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog with a fun wedding-inspired 3D pop-up vignette that folds flat for mailing. This would make a fun wedding keepsake! The Spellbinders/Amazing Paper Grace Pop-Up 3D Vignette Road Trip die set is one I’ve had for a bit and had never used, so I finally broke it out of it’s packaging and used it! You know me and how much I love assembling 3D projects… and admittedly this one was daunting because of the number of dies but was SO much fun! I used a nice variety of our cardstock to cut the (gazillion) pieces which I’ll list below. I added a sentiment/signature card affixed to the inside back with a magnet. Not sure who the recipient will be, I know without a doubt that they’ll love this!

If you’re interested, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog, as it goes into a tad more detail. I used the Spellbinders/Amazing Paper Grace Pop-Up 3D Vignette Road Trip die set and cut all the pieces from Stardream Metallic Bronze, Stardream Metallic Silver, Bright Silver Foil, Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White, Glama Kraft, Light Yellow, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Poodle Skirt, Pink Tutu, and Classic Crest 80# Solar White.

I assembled this project with Home Hobby by 3L Extreme 1/8″ Double-Sided Tape for the insert tabs on the sides along with the My Sweet Petunia Precision Glue Press with Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I added tiny black gemstones on all the tiny flowers, and slightly larger ones on the Just Married plate on the back. I cut the bride and groom bodies from white cardstock and colored them with Copic Ciao skin colored marker. Also cut the back lights from white cardstock and colored those tiny pieces with a red marker.

This project has three inserts which allows it to fold flat for mailing. Here are shots of the back and an angled shot of the front with the little magnetic card I added which has room on the back to write a short custom message and sign. I have used assorted Ranger Letter It stamp sets (more neglected stuff in my stash, lol) for several projects lately, and used the Ranger Letter It Wedding stamp set for the sentiment on the little card, stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink. I love the fonts on these stamp sets!

Herringbone Bookmark

Hi everyone, happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend… Mondays sure roll around quickly these days, don’t they?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a herringbone bookmark. I used Lessebo Pitch Black along with Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White cardstock, for a timeless black and white monochromatic color combo.

I found an old paper pack in my stash with all black/gray/white patterns that I wanted to use. Plus it’s been a while since I’ve made a bookmark (or a herringbone background), so I thought what the heck, let’s make one using black and white cardstock along with this paper pack. The herringbone design for backgrounds is really fun and easy, I’ve got some more good card design ideas floating around in my head using this design, so stay tuned!

Not going into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I cut the bookmark and one extra top piece from Lessebo Pitch Black cardstock and used the Stampin’ Up scalloped tag topper punch on both pieces. I created the herringbone pattern with strips of patterned paper from the Docrafts Papermania Capsule Collection. I stamped/heat embossed a simple sentiment, flicked gesso and water over the top piece, and added a horizontal paper strip. I threaded some Keep It Simple Back to Basics Black and White gingham ribbon through the hole and tied it with a piece of Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I added a panel of Classic Crest 165# Double Thick Solar White to the back of the bookmark, rounded the bottom corners, and inked the edges with Ranger black soot distress ink. I thought it might be fun to write a personal note on the back for the recipient.

Vacation mini album

Happy Saturday, y’all! I hope you’re enjoying some ‘real’ Spring weather where you are and Mother Nature isn’t trying to fool you like she’s been fooling us, lol! We’ve had several ‘fake’ bouts of Spring here that only last a day or two and then it turns cold again! We’ve even had more snow, dang it! I have to ask if you’ve seen any of the kits on the Keep It Simple website?! If you haven’t, you really need to go take a peek (pssst… HERE)!

I’m delighted to share this adorable camera shaker mini album featuring the KIS Kits: Wander Camera Mini Album. To say this was fun putting together would be an understatement! These kits are reasonably priced and contain everything needed to make the project with lots of stuff left over. They are definitely fun for beginner crafters – and I would even go as far as saying intermediate and advanced crafters as well. There are just so many things you can do with them… the possibilities are endless!

I pretty much went by the photos of each page for this one but did add a few custom things. I typically do my own thing but wanted to demonstrate how easy these are for beginners to follow. This one has an included shaker on the front which is a really fun addition.

I used extra papers and die cut pieces from the Wander Collection which obviously matched perfectly, and added alphabet beads from my stash to the book rings (spelling GOOD TIMES & MEMORIES). I used a variety of our Back To Basics enamel dots throughout, along with white ribbon and jute twine on the three tags inside. Here’s another shot of the front, all the inside pages, and the back.

Colorful Mini Tag Flip

03/28/26 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a mini tag flip featuring layered and decorated tags. These are perfect for tweens and grown-ups alike! I used a variety of our cardstock, which I’ll list below. Most people make these to swap or just to give as a fun gift. It’s not your typical mini album although the tags can have pockets and areas for photos and journaling. This one actually includes one tag with a pocket and tiny journaling card. This is the first one of these I’ve made and I can SO see another collection brewing, lol! So fun!

The first order of business was to add jump rings to the pom-pom and butterfly charm. I made the tassel from yellow hemp cord in my stash, and added a ring to that as well.

Then the fun began making all the tags. Using the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip die set, I die cut a bunch of tags, bows, flowers and rosettes from Lessebo Sweet Mint and Amazon Dark Teal, Pop Tone Grapesicle and Banana Split, Royal Sundance Burgundy Linen, Textured Pearl Green Curry, Bright Gold Foil and 80# Solar White. Then I cut more tags from the Fancy Pants Designs Bloom 12×12 double-sided papers. The Coco & Reno dies came in a kit along with Fancy Pants Designs Bloom double-sided papers, cardstock and foam stickers, enamel dots, and dangle embellishments. I punched circles for the centers of the rosettes, and used enamel shapes, gemstones and pinstripe peel-off stickers from my stash.

Here are the first four tags.

And here are the other four tags. I cut more pieces than I needed and was able to make eight additional tags for another mini tag flip, plus I have lots of extra die cuts to make more tag embellishments for future projects. Win-win!

Love Life Mini in a Tin

03/24/26 Top 5 at Try It On Tuesday!

Hey friends, how are you doing on this wonderful Wednesday morning?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very colorful mini album in a tin. Our new DT term just started this month at CutCardStock so this is my first post of the new term! I’m starting my seventh year on this amazing team and the time has flown by!

A couple years ago I won a Tin Topper subscription from Gecko Galz, and received beautiful digital tin topper images every month for a year. I bought tins on Amazon and have had them in my stash all this time so I decided to finally use one! Any colorful digital images or patterned paper can be used for this project. Of course, you need pretty cardstock, too, so I used Amaranth Pink, Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon, along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White.

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog where you’ll find the template for the mini album, all the measurements, and step-by-step instructions. I started by printing Gecko Galz Spring Blossoms Tin Toppers (from May 2024 Tin Topper Kit) on 80# Solar White, and trimming them down slightly.

I decorated the tin with one of the tin topper images, cardstock, MAMBI skinny washi tape, and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots. I added a flower cluster made from Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which I tied in a bow with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I cut the mini album from Amaranth Pink cardstock and rounded the corners of each section. In addition to the digital tin topper images, I used Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory for the panels, creating four pockets on the front and four on the back. I cut pocket cards from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for journaling and/or photos. I used a little bit of the washi tape and a few of the enamel dots to embellish the inside of the mini album without adding too much bulk.

I folded up the mini album and tied it in a pretty bow. Here’s a final shot of the mini in the tin. I sure do love how this turned out! I wanted it to be pretty but not overly done, and I think I accomplished that! ;)

02/28/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy Fri-YAY! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today with an inspiration project created with a super cute SVG cut file from Cricut Design Space and some of my most favorite Scrapbook Adhesives products! I originally saw this shopping cart made in a Valentine theme by a designer on the 12×12 Cardstock Shop DT who linked to the creator of the cut file in Cricut Design Space. I thought it was so stinkin’ cute I just had to make one in a Lucky St. Patty’s Day theme!

Using Louise Beauregard’s Shopping Cart SVG cut file in Cricut Design Space, I cut the shopping cart base from CutCardStock 12×12 Scottish Highlands, the wheels from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black, and all the layering panels from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Lichen Encore Textured 12×12 cardstock. Then I assembled it using a combination of the E-Z Runner Micro Refillable Dispenser, E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, and Dual Tip Glue Pen. I used some old green glitter brads in my stash for the center of the wheels.

I also found the Shamrock Window Decoration and Lucky Shamrock Font SVG cut files in Cricut Design Space. I cut the shamrocks from the green in the Brutus Monroe Rainbow Glitterstock and the shamrock layers and ‘lucky’ word from Lessebo Pitch Black. I used the E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to adhere the shamrock layers together and Adhesive Sheet on the back of the words. I employed the “Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside” technique using Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors (black) and 3D Foam Circles White Mix to create some embellishments for the shamrocks. I adhered the shamrocks on the sides of the shopping card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Here are a couple more angles of this adorable 3D project. Now to decide what to put in it… maybe some candy, chocolate coins, tags, or mini cards! Or just leave it empty and display it on a mantel or side table! Eeeeek, so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!
