Lake by the Mountains paper sculpture

9/12/23 Top 3 at Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – it’s almost the weekend! The weekends sure are rolling around mighty quickly these days, lol! I’m delighted to be guest designing once again for Cut It Up Challenges! The theme for Challenge #284 is Create A Scene, and I created a paper sculpture for Ed’s birthday that fit perfectly into this challenge! You know how much I love my Scan N Cut, and I used the amazing Father’s Day Paper Sculpture cut file from Dreaming Tree to create this beautiful scene.

I cut all the pieces from Clear Path Paper white cardstock; American Crafts Dandelion, Kale, Crimson, Grass, Key Lime, Plum, Marine, Sunflower and Leaf cardstock; and DCWV Textured Double Sided cardstock. I always say the assembly of these kinds of projects is the most fun! I assembled it with liquid glue and foam strips (some cut into smaller pieces), giving it tons of dimension. The dimensional layers on this really bring it to life. So happy with how it turned out, and the hubs loved it too! And I do apologize for the slight glare on front of the shadowbox… the acrylic was hard to photograph!

Fa La La Stationery Box

8/9/23 Top 3 Winner at Crafty Gals Corner!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday… another week is behind us which means we’re a little closer to Christmas and that sure doesn’t disappoint me! I’m delighted to be back with a ‘Christmas in July’ inspiration project to share for Keep It Simple DT! Don’t you just love seeing all the Christmas projects this time of year?! Our design team has created some pretty awesome projects to share and we’re having a social media hop, so be sure to check it out for a chance to win a gift certificate! I created a stationery box using products in our Scandinavian Christmas Collection!

This amazing little box contains six Christmas cards, six tags, three square notelets, an address book and pen, and a pocket for a book of stamps! I’ve made a couple of these over the years and if you’re interested in looking, they are HERE and HERE. The first one was sort of plain (although still very awesome) but the second one was stepped up a bit which is my favorite version of the two.

I created the stationery box base and lid using coordinating papers in the Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack from the Christmas Bundle. The fun part is always the assembly! I embellished the box and lid with Scandinavian Christmas Alphabits Die Cut Pieces and Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces along with some clear gemstones in my stash. I made the address book, pen loop and stamp pocket with the same paper collection and used Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces along with a couple strips of skinny gold washi tape in my stash.

Next, I made six tags, three 3×3 notelets and six A2 size cards to tuck into the pockets, all from Cougar Smooth White cardstock. I used papers from the Scandinavian Christmas 6×9 Collection Pack and 6×9 Cardstock Pack, Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies and Stitched Squares Nested dies for the notelets and cards. I hand-cut the tags and tied jute cord to them. I embellished all the cards and tags with items from the Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces, Gnomes Die Cut Pieces and Royal Enamel Dots. I used the Santa & Friends Stamps for the sentiment on the cards, stamped in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink and popped up on foam strips. I made envelopes for the notelets and cards from 32# HP copy paper using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board.

Ocean-Beach Inchie Album

8/5/23 Top Pick at Inkspirational Challenges!

Hi friends! I’m back this evening to share a project that’s not for one of my design teams, believe it or not. I know, it’s a rare occurrence, lol. I’m so in love with inchie albums, I’ve started collecting them along with my ATCs! This one features the super awesome beachy 1×1 images from Gecko Galz. I’ve got quite a few different themed ones in my stash so you’ll be seeing more of these in the near future. They are fun, easy to make, and really pack a punch!

Even though the summer heat really gets to me, I’ve always loved the ocean/beach (I grew up on the Gulf coast of Florida) and have always felt that water is good for the soul, so that’s how I came up with my book title. I typed the book title on my laptop, trimmed it and ran a light blue Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker around the edges. I made the book from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock and the cover from Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Earth 6×6 paper pad.

I printed the Gecko Galz Beachy 1×1 digital image sheet on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock and punched the images with my EK Success 1″ square punch. Once I had all the inchie images adhered to the pages, I ran a Marvy Uchida DecoColor Silver paint pen around the edges which completed my little book.

Royalty Inchie Album

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! Another week has almost bitten the dust! I have THE coolest Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share with you this morning! For many years I’ve been seeing ‘inchies’ and have never made any – an inchie is simply a 1×1 piece of artwork. Pretty tiny. So I combined my love of mini albums and the inchie concept, and made a tiny inchie album! I totally enjoyed making this and I see more in my future, for sure!

I started by creating the tiny book from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and covered the front and back covers with a print from the Craft Consortium Metal Textures 6×6 paper pad. I then printed the Gecko Galz Royal Jewel It 2 digital image sheet on 80# Solar White, cut the eight inchies from it that I wanted to use, and adhered them to the pages.

I typed the book title on a scrap piece of CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock that I had out on my desk from another project. I trimmed it, ran a Memento Rich Cocoa marker around the edges, and adhered it to the front of the album. I took a Marvy Uchida DecoColor Gold Metallic paint marker and ran it around the edge of all the pages, which completed the tiny book. Here are shots of the royal photos! ;)

Coffee Gift Tote

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday to you – I hope you’re having a great week with some beautiful weather! I’m back this morning with another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project! This Coffee Gift Tote was seriously fun; I made my own patterned paper for the tote and I made the earrings!

I stamped a coffee bean from the Taylored Expressions Joe To-Go stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink randomly over a square piece of CutCardStock Twine cardstock. I used my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board and Stampin’ Up! 1″ circle punch to create the gift tote which I embellished with a coffee cup popped up on 3D foam circles. I created a card to go in the tote with a sentiment stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, layered on Twine and another Baronial Ivory cardstock panel. To make the earrings, I stamped the coffee cup and coffee bean twice in Ranger ground espresso archival ink on Grafix Shrink Film and colored the lids with an ultra fine pink Sharpie marker. I punched holes with my Stampin’ Up 1/16″ circle punch and cut them with the coordinating TE die. I used my Milwaukee heat tool to shrink them, and added earring wires and rings and TE rubber earring backs.

Here are a couple additional shots of the gift tote. I created a closure with a Funkie Junkie Boutique tiny clothespin embellished with a bow fashioned from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

Grand Adventure Tea Bag Dispenser

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! The weekend sure did fly by, didn’t it?! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. My inspiration for making this awesome little tea bag dispenser came from the Splitcoast Stampers tutorial HERE. This is a really easy project that packs a great punch – and what a great gift idea for the tea drinkers in your life! ;)

I cut the box and the lid from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Cottage Fields 6×8 paper pad. I’m a butterfly fanatic so I made sure to include one on the front panel. I fussy cut a second one and adhered it over the patterned paper for a little dimension. I used my Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch to create a semi-circle at the bottom of the front panel for ease in removing the tea bags. I added a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Metallic Quotations Sticker along with a few Darice small clear gemstones, which completed the project.

Here’s a shot of the box with the lid removed. I really love how this turned out!

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.

I embellished the pages with stickers from the sticker sheet as well as chipboard elements, ephemera and adhesive brads from the upgrades.

‘Read More’ note cards in a box

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Sure seems like this weekend went by in a big POOF! I’ve popped in this morning to share a Syncopation Design inspiration project created with papers and elements in the new Let’s Get Lit bundle! Just in case you aren’t familiar with the terminology, it has to do with literacy – not getting intoxicated, lol! I know several people who are bookworms and thought this kit was perfect to create a set of 3-1/2″ x 5″ note cards in a box! Such a fun project!

I printed the solid and patterned papers from the collection on HP 32# copy paper and the elements on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock. I created the card box and ten 3-1/2″ x 5″ card bases from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. The card box sports patterned paper panels and fussy-cut elements, as well as an Eyelet Outlet silver washi tape strip and Darice gemstones from my stash, and has a velcro closure. The simple card design is basically the same for all ten cards, featuring solid and patterned paper panels and fussy-cut captions/sentiments (popped up on foam strips) along with a silver washi tape strip and gemstone.

Holly Jolly Gift Box

Hi everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #50 – Anything Christmas Goes! You know how I love making little gift bags and boxes, and always forget that I have this set of dies from Stampin’ Up that I’ve had for years. I ran across them while looking for something else (that’s always the way it happens!) and I believe this is only the second or possibly third time I’ve used them. The box is the perfect size for jewelry or treats.

I used the Stampin’ Up Baker’s Box Thinlits to die cut the bag pieces from a holly print in the Echo Park A Perfect Christmas double-sided paper pack. These are great papers to use because they are heavier than regular double-sided paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. I stamped an oval die cut for the tag (using the Keep It Simple Santa & Friends stamp set) and embellished it with some Eyelet Outlet red bling. The final step was threading some Michael’s green and white dotted ribbon through the holes and tying a bow. Easy peasy!

And here’s a shot of the back. This was a super easy project that would be great to mass produce for placing around the holiday table or gifting treats to co-workers! Can also be used for birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. by using different papers! ;)
