CAS – Love To Scrap 2

happy place note card

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my project for LTSCB #161 – Anything Goes! I created a mini slimline note card featuring a tiny globe from the Sizzix Tiny Travel Globe Thinlits. I love all of them in this set! And who wouldn’t love being on this island?! I know I would… definitely my happy place!

I cut a mini slimline card base measuring 3-1/2″ x 6″ from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a background panel cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage Stamp Edge Die. I die cut all the tiny globe pieces from 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and assembled and adhered the globe in the right lower corner of the card front. The die cut part of the sentiment was created with a Sizzix Script Celebration Words die (cut from Solar White cardstock), and the stamped part was created with a fussy-cut word from one of the sentiments in the Prickley Pear Stamps Frog Pals Spinach and Ramona stamp set. I finished the front with several Eyelet Outlet brown pearls.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, adhered it to a postage stamp edge die cut like the one on the front, and embellished it with a leftover negative space strip. Since this is a note card, I left the inside blank to write a custom message.

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.

Welcome BUNNY Season!

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday! I hope your weather is warming up so can enjoy some outdoor time! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project that I’ve shared on social media but wasn’t able to blog because of internet troubles. This super cute peek-a-boo card was created with papers, die cuts, stamps and enamel dots from the new Bunny Season Collection! If you haven’t already seen it, you really need to check it out! So dang adorable!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and die cut a trio of apertures in the front flap using the Your Next Stamp Peek-A-Boo Trio die set. I placed several bunny die cuts from the Bunny Season Die Cut Pieces into the apertures and then placed a panel cut from a pink plaid paper from the Bunny Season 6×9 Collection Pack behind the apertures. I stamped a sentiment from the Bunny Season Collection stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and added several Bunny Season Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a couple Bunny Season Die Cut Pieces. I stamped another sentiment from the Bunny Season Collection stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panel on a print from the Bunny Season 6×9 Cardstock Pack.

Get Better Soon

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a wonderful week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #73 – Anything Goes! Every year I try to use stamps and dies that I’ve had in my stash for a long time (many of them have never seen the light of day) and I typically do pretty well. I believe I’ve used this Band-Aids die set from My Favorite Things once, about 4-5 years ago, so I thought it was time to bring it back out for another play since it’s so stinkin’ cute! A clean and simple get well card in calming shades of blue seemed perfect!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock and rounded the lower right corner. I die cut the larger Band-Aid and accompanying elements from a scrap of the Basis Natural and colored them with alcohol markers. I stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Flourished Borders stamp set in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.

I simply stamped a sentiment (partly masked) from the Stampin’ Up Something To Say stamp set on the inside in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink without adding any layers or embellishing strips.

3/5/23 Sweet Pick at Cupcake Inspirations!

Hi everyone! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! It sure got here fast… not that I’m complaining! I love every day of the week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Solar White Classic Linen and Classic Crest paired with Pop Tone Spearmint cardstock! I printed an absolutely gorgeous digital image from The Hungry Jpeg on 80# Classic Linen, trimmed it down and popped it up on white craft foam on a 100# Classic Linen card base. I added a foiled sentiment and some gemstones, and BOOM, a beautiful clean and simple card was made!

I printed The Hungry Jpeg’s Roses 3 digital image on Neenah Classic Linen 80# Solar White cardstock, trimmed it down to fit the card base, and cut the bottom right corner off with my Tonic corner punch. Here’s a close-up of the image so you can see how gorgeous it looks printed on the linen cardstock!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Linen 100# Solar White cardstock and cut off the bottom right corner. I adhered the digital image to a piece of Darice Foamies white craft foam and then to the card base. I added a foiled sentiment that I created with the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Silver Foil, and Spellbinders Glimmer Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Andradite Sparkle Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, embellished it with a leftover strip of Neenah Classic Linen 80# Solar White, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop Tone Spearmint cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments in Catherine Pooler Aquatini ink and cut it with the coordinating die.

Coffee because adulting is Hard

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a good week! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Kat Scrappiness Creative Influencer inspiration project. I created a clean and simple note card for that coffee lover featuring the Perk Up Stamp Set and Perk Up Coordinating Dies! This card, as simple as it is, was so much fun and made me giggle the entire time it took me to make it!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut strips of patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Mango 12×12 Collection Pack and adhered them to the bottom of the card front. I stamped the coffee pot and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock and cut them with the coordinating dies. I cut two more coffee pots and adhered them together for a little dimension. I adhered several loops of Coats and Clark gold sewing thread to the back side of the coffee pot element and then adhered it to the card base. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet white enamel dots.

I embellished the inside flap with narrow strips of the patterned paper used on the front. Since this is a note card, I left the inside blank with plenty of room to write custom message.

Sending Good Thoughts your way

Hi friends! Well, we busted through another week and it’s Saturday again! But that’s not a bad thing, is it?! I’m back up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with another card featuring the oh-so-gorgeous Brighter Days Ahead stamp set which I absolutely love! Besides the amazing focal image, there are tons of sentiments. A couple days ago I shared a paper-pieced card created with it, so I colored the image on this one with alcohol markers. It’s difficult trying to achieve texture with markers but I think I did okay! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card from CutCardStock 110# Basis Natural cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 80# Basis Natural and masked the lower right corner of the image. I traced the rounded corner of the card base onto the image, and colored it with alcohol markers. I stamped the sentiment and added several flat sequins which completed the card.

Holding you close in my Heart

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a beautiful uplifting card created with stamps from the gorgeous Brighter Days Ahead stamp set. I did quite a bit of paper piecing with colored cardstock on this CAS-ish card and I wish you could run your fingers over it and feel all the texture! I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock 110# Basis Natural cardstock. I stamped the focal image on the card base in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then six more times – once on CutCardStock Basis Gold, Basis Light Brown, Sandcastle, Ginger Snap, Pop Tone Jellybean Green and Pop Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock. Then the fun began fussy cutting each element or section and adhering them to the card base. I stamped the sentiment and added several Eyelet Outlet tiny heart sequins which completed the card.

Hi friends! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #65! I created an adorable CAS hybrid kitty Christmas card featuring Jen Leeflang’s 7 Cats digital image! I also used sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Christmas Cats stamp set and created the card in neutrals with a pop of red! So stinkin’ cute!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from CutcardStock Basis White and a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Red. I printed the image on Basis White and colored it with alcohol markers. I trimmed it, rounded the upper left and lower right corners on both layering panels, and adhered them together. I stamped a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Christmas Cats stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added several Eyelet Outlet White Enamel Dots, which completed the front.

I cut the inside panel from Basis White, rounded the upper left and lower right corners, and embellished it with Eyelet Outlet Skinny Red Washi Tape. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and layered the panel on Basis Red cardstock.
