Life is Sweet

Hey everybody, it’s almost the weekend! OMGosh, we’ve had THE best weather this week… temps in the 40s and 50s here! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with our new Life Is Sweet collection. If you love bees and all the buzz that comes with them, this collection is definitely for you! I used papers, stamps and dies from the collection to create this fun accordion card which is a super easy one (details below)!

I cut the 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean and scored it at 4-1/4″ on the long side. Next I cut three 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panels for the front and the left/right insides from coordinating prints in the Life Is Sweet 12×12 Collection Pack which I adhered to the card base. I stamped a variety of images and sentiments from the Life Is Sweet Collection Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black, Espresso Truffle and Peanut Brittle inks. I colored the images with a variety of markers and cut them with the coordinating Life Is Sweet Outline Dies. I embellished the front of the card, popping some of the images and sentiment up on foam squares, and set the remaining images aside.

I cut the 4-3/4″ x 8″ inside accordion panel from Lessebo Coffee Bean and scored it at 2″, 4″ and 6″ on the long side. I trimmed it at an angle, measuring from the top left corner down to 2″ up from the bottom right corner. I accordion-folded the three score lines (valley-mountain-valley) and adhered it to the inside of the card base. I then cut four 1-7/8″ wide panels (in varying heights matching the sections on the accordion panel) from a honeycomb print in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I lightly traced the angled top edge on each section and trimmed the panels accordingly.

I adhered the layering panels to the accordion panel and embellished it with the stamped images and sentiment. I added a stitched rectangle to the back of the card (for a handwritten message and signature) cut with a Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, and embellished it with the remaining stamped images.

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I hope you’re having an awesome week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #100. I created a 3-tier pull-up card featuring papers from Craft Consortium and ephemera from STAMPlorations, and I totally love how it turned out! This fold has been around for many years (and it has been some time since I made one) and I had forgotten how much fun it is! My inspiration came from an older video HERE (although there are others on YouTube) if you’d like to learn how to make it.

I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from Craft Consortium Ink Drops-Candy 6×6 papers. I assembled the card while watching Dawn’s video and then gathered an assortment of STAMPlorations Bloom Burst ephemera which I used to embellish the tiers.

I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set on a scrap piece of Basis White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut it with the coordinating Sunflowers die set, and popped it up on adhesive foam strips. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones.

2/8/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Happy first Tuesday in February… I hope you’re having a good week. My lovely friend, Jo, invited me to be her Guest Elf (yep, you read that right…ELF… lol!) for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #95 this month. The theme is ‘Fold It Fancy’ so obviously I couldn’t say no… you know how I love me some fun folds!

You may remember a couple months ago I posted a multi panel pop out card (HERE if you’d like to see it) that I had originally seen on Lisa Curcio’s blog. It was a 5×7 size, which is larger than I typically make, so I painstakingly reworked the measurements and came up with an A2 size. I’m happy to share the measurements for all the pieces below if you’d like to learn how to make one.

From solid cardstock, cut the following:
— Card base: 5-1/2″ x 12″ scored at 4-1/4″, 6″ and 7-3/4″.
— Large pillars (cut two): 4″ x 4-1/2″ scored at 1-1/8″, 2-1/4″ and 3-3/8″.
— Side panels (cut two): 3″ x 3-3/4″ scored at 1/2″, 2-3/4″ and 3-1/4″.
— Center panel: 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ scored at 3/4″, 2-1/4″ and 3-3/4″.

From your choice of patterned papers, cut the following:
— Card base: front 4″ x 5-1/4″, inside panels (cut two) 4″ x 5-1/4″, inside M-sections (cut two) 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″, back 4″ x 5-1/4″ from white or ivory cardstock for a signature panel.
— Large pillars (cut four): 7/8″ x 3-3/4″.
— Side panels (cut two): 2″ x 2-3/4″.
— Center panel (cut two): 1-1/4″ x 2-1/4″.

It’s best to first adhere all the patterned paper pieces to the solid cardstock pieces, in order of how I listed them above. Embellish the card front, side panels, center panel, and back panel as desired. I used fussy cut ephemera from the Traci Vanover Designs Christmas Cocoa 6×6 paper pad I used. Feel free to visit my other post linked above for the link to Lisa’s video in case you want to watch it for the actual assembly. Even though my pieces are sized differently than those on her video, the assembly is the same. I promise it’s not as daunting as it looks! ;)

Here’s a shot of the back panel embellished with a patterned paper strip and layered piece of ephemera. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I definitely love the smaller A2 size, and see more of these in my future, lol!

So Lucky

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going along nicely. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a book cradle fold. This is my first attempt at this particular fold (which I saw on the Mixed Up Craft YouTube Channel) and it’s an interesting one. I used stamps and ephemera from our new So Lucky collection which I paired with several green prints from the Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack and a couple Gold Mirror Peel-Off Stickers. This collection is a must-have for any coffee lovers out there!

I cut the card base pieces from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Winter Warmers 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. Be sure to check out my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog mentioned above for assembly instructions.

There are lots of areas on this card to embellish as desired. I used gold mirror peel-off stickers as well as ephemera and stamped sentiments from the new So Lucky collection. I did not have the dies in the bundle yet when I created this card, so I fussy cut the front sentiment. Here are shots of the back and a side angle so you can see the construction. Pretty cool, huh?!

Living the Fairy Tale

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great Thursday! I’m back with my second post today to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with our new Once Upon A Time: Jasmine Collection! OMGoodness, what a FABulous selection of papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces! It’s no secret that the faux center step card is one of my favorites (I’ve made quite a few of them) and it was the perfect way to showcase these adorable fairytale characters. And keeping a minimal list of supplies makes this a quick and easy card. And don’t forget the instructions for this fun fold are on the Freebies page of my blog HERE.

I cut the card base and center panel from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock, along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed a sentiment and a few images from the Jasmine Die Cut Pieces and built a little scene, popping a few of them up on foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and added another few pieces of ephemera from the Die Cut Pieces. I also cut a panel for the back to give it more of a finished look.

Congrats fun fold

Hey everybody, happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m thrilled to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project with you today created with the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats stamps and dies. I love florals and I love fun folds, so getting to share this tri-fold hidden door fun fold with you is definitely a win-win! All of the Altenew Mini Delight bundles are amazing and these stamps and dies are no exception. They sure make some beautiful projects! I saw this fun fold on Pinterest and it led me to several different videos so it’s an easy one to find.

I cut the card base and panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock, along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis White and a diagonal striped print from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the double floral image from the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats stamp set twice on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with Copic Ciao markers, and cut them with the coordinating die.

Using the floral and leaves dies in the Altenew Mini Delight: A Floral Congrats die set, I die cut several flowers and some greenery from papers in the KIS Lemon Collection Pack and CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock which I used to embellish several of the panels. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set in black ink. The finishing touch was adding a small yellow gemstone to the center of each flower.

I stamped an additional sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink on the hidden panel inside, and embellished the panels on each side of that with die cut flowers.

Hey everybody, Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend that doesn’t involve snow… or maybe it does?! We got more snow earlier this week and they were some of the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen! I’m stoked to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today, created with our new Once Upon A Time: Jasmine Collection. I created another hidden pocket pop up card. I totally LOVE this fold; made my first one just about a year ago and it quickly rose to the top of my list of favorites. I originally found it on Lisa Curcio’s blog. It looks like a regular A2 card from the front but I always say the magic is on the inside!

I cut the card base and inside panels from CutCardStock Amazon Dark Teal along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped a variety of sentiments and images from the Collection Stamps, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I created the scene on the front, popping Jasmine and the sentiment up on foam squares.

As I said above, the magic is on the inside! I added additional stamped images and another sentiment to the hidden pocket flap, and a trimmed and layered piece of ephemera (from the cut-apart sheet in the 12×12 Collection Pack) on the inside signature panel.

Scrappy hugs,

cue the confetti!

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I hope the first half of the first month of 2025 is going well for you. I’m delighted to share a DT inspiration project for Emily Moore Designs featuring the NEW Decorative Sentiment Dies and All The Happy Things stamp set. If you haven’t yet checked out these new products released on January 1st, you are in for a surprise… fun stuff, for sure! And to save you a few bucks, these two are available in the Decorative and Happy Bundle! And if you’re a new customer, don’t forget to use my code LESLIE10 for 10% off your order!

The double flap fun fold is one of my favorites and I thought it would make an excellent card for new grandparents, so that’s the direction I went, using a pink and purple color combo. I also used the Yay! Layered Word Die, Confetti Layered Stencils, Simon Hurley Silver Lining Lunar Paste and the Graduation & Retirement stamp set, all of which compliment these new products in a most awesome way.

I started by creating the background on CutCardStock Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock using the Confetti Layered Stencils, Ranger picked raspberry and shaded lilac distress inks and a couple blending brushes, and Simon Hurley Silver Lining Lunar Paste and a spatula. While it was drying, I cut a flag, small heart and sentiment banner from Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints, CutCardStock Silk Glitter Silvermist cardstock and a Solar White cardstock scrap, all using the Decorative Sentiment Dies, and set them aside.

I cut the card base, a stitched circle die cut (using the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies), and the focal using the (Yay! Layered Word Die) from American Crafts Taffy cardstock. I cut layering panels from Doodlebug Design Plaid-Polka Dot and Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints. The confetti background was dry at this point so I cut a stitched circle using a slightly smaller die from the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies. I assembled the card, and the final step was stamping a sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set on the banner in the picked raspberry distress ink and popping it up on 3D Foam Squares.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of paper from the Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints. I stamped two sentiments (one from the All The Happy Things stamp set and the other from the Graduation & Retirement stamp set) in the picked raspberry and shaded lilac distress inks. LOVE how this turned out!

Tea Time Fun Fold

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re having a good week and it’s not too chilly where you are, but if it is, I have the perfect card to warm you up! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a tea-themed pop-up card. This awesome card features our Its Always Tea Time Cutting Die which I paired with prints from the Indigoletta 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, a Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die, and some Pin Stripe Mauve Mirror Peel-Off Stickers. What a gorgeous combination!

I cut the card base, pop-up panel and banner from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Next I cut layering panels from CutCardStock Plum cardstock as well as the Indigoletta 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack, and assembled the basic card, adhering the banner vertically down the front.

Using the Its Always Tea Time Cutting Die, I cut the focal from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and again from the Plum cardstock. I layered them together, slightly offsetting the purple for just a bit of gold highlight. I adhered the focal to an oval cut with the Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Die and then to the card front. I added a small disc magnet to keep the card closed.

I added several Pin Stripe Mauve Mirror Peel-Off Stickers to the inside pop-up panel and the message card. I also fussy cut a floral from the paper pack and adhered it to the message card which I left blank to write a custom message.

1/4/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, can you believe 2025 is here already?! As quickly as 2024 passed us by, it’ll be Christmas again before we know it… LOL! I’m up on the Emily Moore Designs blog today with a sweet new home card featuring our NEW All The Happy Things stamp set and Decorative Sentiment Dies. These two new products are available in a bundle for a discounted price, so look for the Decorative and Happy Bundle on the website, and if you’re a new customer, be sure to use my code LESLIE10 for 10% off your order! I also used the Gift Card Holder With A Bow for this tri-fold and I love how it turned out. I’ve made quite a few tri-folds recently; it truly is one of the easiest fun folds ever.

I cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock and scored it at 4-1/4″. Next, I cut an additional 4-5/8” x 5-1/2” panel and scored it at 3/8″, then adhered it to the right edge of the card base on the 3/8″ flap to create the tri-fold. I cut several 1/4″ strips from Celebration Warehouse Dark Red Wine Non-Shedding Glitter cardstock along with several 1/8” strips from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock. I adhered two of each strip in a vertical orientation and two in a horizontal orientation on the cart front, slightly separating each pair. I wove them for a little interest.

Using the dies in the Gift Card Holder With A Bow set, I created a bow from the Basis Dark Red and Dark Red Wine Glitter cardstock and adhered it to the cross-section of the strips. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink which I cut using the label-type die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies and popped up on 3D Foam Squares.

For the tri-fold flap, I used the larger decorative edge rectangle die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies to cut a panel from the Basis Dark Red for a gift card. I cut a slightly larger panel from Basis Natural using the paper trimmer and rounded the corners to match the corners of the decorative edge die cut. Using the Gift Card Holder Die With A Bow set, I cut a gift card holder from Fred She Said Floral Surprises digital paper and trimmed it to fit inside the decorative edges of the die cut.

For the inside, I cut a 4-1/8” x 5-3/8” panel from the same Fred She Said digital paper. I have hundreds (if not thousands) of digital paper files on my laptop and I’m going to start using them! ;) Using the smaller decorative edge rectangle die in the Decorative Sentiment Dies, I cut a sentiment panel from Basis Natural. I stamped another sentiment from the All The Happy Things stamp set in Rhubarb Stalk ink and adhered it to the inside panel.
