days like this

Hey everybody, Happy Monday! I hope you had an awesome weekend! I’m delighted to share a fun fold for Keep It Simple that I created with our new Wander Collection. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for a real treat. I used the 6×9 Collection Pack, Collection Stamps and Outline Dies to create this pop out fun fold. And for the life of me, I cannot remember exactly where I saw this fold and it’s driving me nuts. I think it was Pinterest; I will continue searching and when/if I find it, I will update this post. It’s definitely a fun one and I would love to share the link! Update: I found the link! It was on Jolanda’s Inque Spot Studio blog HERE and I made one change. I cut the insert at 5-1/4″ x 8″ rather than 4″ x 8″ as noted in her post.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels, strips and stitched circles from assorted prints in the Wander 12×12 Collection Pack, Jade 12×12 Collection Pack and 80# Solar White. I cut the pop out panel from 12×12 Cardstock Shop Mint Chocolate Chip cardstock. I stamped sentiments and images from the Wander Collection Stamps, colored the images with Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I fussy cut the front sentiment as there isn’t a coordinating die for that one. I stenciled clouds using our KIS Clouds Stencil and Ranger stormy sky distress ink, and created a hill using our KIS Cuts Wavy Borders dies.

As I always say, the most fun with projects like this is the assembly. It was such a joy watching it come to life. And it sure packs a punch when opening! I love how it turned out!

Hey everybody, Happy Weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m stoked to share a DT inspiration project for Keep It Simple created with papers and die cut pieces from our Here Comes Santa Claus Collection! This is a super basic fun fold called a diagonal pocket card and it is really easy. I love creating Christmas cards and DIY gifts for Christmas and I love me some fun folds, so this was definitely a win-win!

I cut the A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock and sliced the front flap in half diagonally from top left down to bottom right. I added some wet glue along the very bottom edge of the diagonal flap and adhered it to the back flap. BOOM… super easy! I embellished the diagonal flap with papers and ephemera from the cut-apart sheet in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the corners of the focal panel with a Tonic Corner Punch and layered it on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I used an assortment of die cut pieces to embellish the focal panel, popping some of them up on adhesive foam squares. The finishing touch was adding a few Back to Basics White Enamel Dots.

I created a top folding card from the Jellybean Green cardstock to slip into the diagonal pocket, and cut the corners with the Tonic Corner Punch. I embellished the front and inside of the folded card with more papers and ephemera from the cut-apart sheet in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack, as well as a few more die cut pieces.

Easter Makes Me Hoppy

Hi friends, a very happy Friday to you all! I hope you’re having a great week. Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases Challenge and I’m delighted to share my fun fold for Challenge #102. I created a six fold card and boy, oh boy, I see more of these in my future! My inspiration came from one of my most favorite sites, Splitcoast Stampers, and the tutorial is HERE if you’re interested in learning how to make this. It looks daunting but I promise you it’s is not. The sky is the limit as far as occasion, holiday, color palette, etc. It’s a super fun one, for sure!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, along with layering panels from an assortment of papers in the Echo Park It’s Easter Time Collection Kit.

I embellished all the sections with stickers from the sticker sheet, and used a chipboard phrase along with Keep It Simple Mango ribbon on the belly band.

And here’s one final shot of the card completely open. How stinkin’ fun is this?!

Spring Wishes

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday and happy Spring! It’s still a little chilly here but our temps are rising and I do believe Spring is in the air. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a circular easel card with an acetate front. This card features our Rise and Shine Stamp Set, Floral Wellington Boot Cutting die, and Matte Silver Sway Peel-Off Stickers – all from our March release. I also used additional dies, papers and embellishments from the store. This card may look daunting but it’s really fairly simple, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog if you’d like to learn how to make it.

I cut the card base, frames and a couple layers from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock. I also cut a layering panel from a red floral print in the Love You paper pack, as well as frames and a layering panel from a red print in the Linen Rainbow paper pack. Using the Floral Wellington Boot Cutting Die, I die cut two wellies from a coordinating print in the Love You paper pack, trimmed off the floral element and added a small strip of Matte Silver Sway Peel-Off Sticker to each.

I added a strip of white pearls to the front of each wellie, and also added a sole to each of the wellies by cutting the very bottom portion from a red linen scrap and trimming it down. I used the Winter Roses Cutting Dies to cut the white roses from white cardstock to embellish the background of the acetate panel, and then added the wellies. I layered circular die cuts to the inside and added a sentiment from the Rise and Shine stamp set, stamped in red ink, and popped up on adhesive foam which doubled as the stopper.

Here are a couple additional shots. As an optional step, I added a custom sentiment that I typed on my computer as well as a leftover frame to the bottom of the card to create an area to sign and/or write a short message.

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. We are expecting some temps in the 60s and 70s next week, and even with the mild Winter we’ve had and our love for cooler weather, we’re ready for Spring! ;) I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today that I created with our NEW Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies that were released yesterday! I paired these dies with our Snow Day papers and Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes stamps and dies, along with our Birthday Sentiments stamps and Stitched Rectangles nested dies.

And I’m proud to share that Keep It Simple sent this die set into production after my Christmas-themed accordion pocket card sample HERE was deemed a huge hit at one of the expos last Summer. Needless to say, my head swelled a bit when she told us about it, and I’m thrilled to share it with you today. My sample was all hand-cut and this die set makes this card a breeze to create!

Using the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies, I cut the card base from American Crafts Black cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints from the Snow Day 6×9 and 12×12 Collection Packs. I stamped a couple images from the Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes Collection Stamps, colored them with an assortment of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Using a die in the Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, I cut a card to slip into the pocket. For the final step, I stamped several sentiments from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red inks, fussy cut or trimmed them, and adhered them to the front, inside and the pocket card.

Here’s an additional shot showing the card removed from the pocket. This is such a fun set of dies that can be used for literally any occasion with any color palette!

Irish You A… Lucky Day

Hey everybody, Happy St. Patty’s Day and may the luck o’ the Irish be with you! I’m excited to share a DT inspiration project for Keep It Simple with you today. Several of our DT members made optional ‘green projects’ to share today and I’m showcasing a super cute hinge card using papers and stamps from our Lucky Day Collection. I recently saw this hinge card on Pinterest that sparked my interest and looked really familiar. I was sure I had made one similar to it but with a different name, and after searching I came up with THIS double flap fun fold from a couple years ago. Similar but slightly different, and a whole lot of fun!

I cut the card base and scored flaps from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Lucky Day 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the rainbow and gnome on Solar White, colored them with an assortment of green Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and adhered them to the narrow front flap on adhesive foam squares. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff to the clouds and heated it with my heat tool to fluff it up.

I then stamped the sentiment in two sections (along with some stars and clover) in Memento Cottage Ivy, Bamboo Leaves and Pear Tart inks, and adhered one part to the front and the other part to a panel beneath the narrow front flap. I added a small disc magnet to keep the card closed.

When the narrow front flap is lifted, there is a larger flap that opens to the left. I embellished this area with a strip cut from a print in the Lucky Day Collection Pack as well as a heart die cut from another print in the collection pack. I used the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Hearts Die to cut the heart. I stamped a sentiment from the Lucky Day Collection Stamps in Cottage Ivy ink, trimmed it into a strip, and adhered it across the heart.

Under the Sea

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great day! I’ve popped in this morning with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, stamps and dies from our new Once Upon A Time: Ariel Collection. This collection just released last week and if you’re a fan of fairytales and princesses, you are in for a real treat. I used my own open box card design to create an aquarium card, and I totally love how it turned out. I’ve made quite a few open box cards over the years – even a fairly large one for another design team project a couple years ago – and it’s super simple to make. My Freebies page is currently unavailable but drop me a comment on this post if you’d like me to email you my instructions.

I cut the card base and strips from CutCardStock Basis Aqua cardstock along with layering panels from a watery looking print in the Aerial collection that was perfect for an underwater scene. I stamped a sentiment and quite a few images from the Ariel Collection Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and colored the images with an assortment of markers. I added some shimmer with a Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Overlay marker and then die cut them with the coordinating Ariel Outline Dies. I built my scene, adding images to all three strips and to the background, along with the sentiment, and popping some of them up on thin adhesive foam squares. The final touch was adding a panel of clear acetate from our Shaker Basics- Foam & Acetate Pack for the aquarium front.

I cut a panel of 80# Solar White cardstock for the back and embellished it with another print in the Ariel Collection. I stamped a sentiment, also from the Ariel Collection Stamps, in Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink, and this completed the card. I’ve also included an overhead angle shot so you can see the construction. So fun!

Hey everybody, happy weekend! It’s Sunday afternoon and our weekend is about shot… but it won’t be long before another one rolls around, lol! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project which is on the Keep It Simple website under How-Tos! I created a new home card and it went live several weeks ago and I forgot to share! It’s THE cutest buckle card and I’m proud to say it’s my own design! I used Crafty Girls papers along with stamps and dies from our Build-A-Birdhouse collection.

Card base, inside sentiment panel and belt were cut from Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Crafty Girls collection. I used stamps and dies from our Build-A-Birdhouse collection for the focal area on the front and the inside sentiment panel. Super cute and fairly easy!

Congratulations Kimono Card

Hi friends, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great first week of March! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #101, where we always want to see your fun folds! I turned this awesome little kimono card into a congrats card, and I love how it turned out! I’ve made a few of these over the years, finding my original inspiration from THIS tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers. This fold is super easy and really packs a punch – and it’s great for just about any occasion.

I cut the card base and sash from coordinating prints in the Colorbok Delilah 12×12 Designer Paper Pad, cutting and folding the kimono as per the tutorial. I added pink gingham ribbon from the Keep It Simple Ruby Ribbon Pack to the sash.

I cut the mini card on the inside from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and stamped the floral images and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black, Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves inks along with Catherine Pooler It’s A Girl ink. The florals and front sentiment are from the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, and the inside sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up Artistically Inked stamp set.

Hi friends, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope it’s warming up where you are and you’re getting to do something fun this weekend. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring papers from the amazing Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs along with a sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set. This tiered pinwheel twist card is one of my favorite fun folds and I’ve made several over the past couple years. My inspiration originally came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. You know what a fun fold fanatic I am, and the pretty patterned papers and butterflies were added bonuses!

I cut the card base and the tiered panels from Raven cardstock along with layering panels from patterns in the Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs. I love mixing patterns.

I fussy cut four butterflies from the Fluttering Forest paper pack, bent them in the middle, and adhered one to each side of the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink on a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock, and this completed the card.
