Happy Flippin’ Birthday

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share today featuring the super cute Flippin’ Best stamp set that was released in January of this year. This is another one of the (many) projects I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. There’s nothing cuter than this little guy being showcased on a faux step card with his bunch of birthday balloons! I don’t have written instructions for this faux step card fun fold but it’s basically a double easel fold (seen on Sharon Armonstrong’s blog HERE a while back) with a tall fixed panel to make it look like a step card. The assembled card is A2 size.

The card base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock with panels cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Misty Blue. I stamped the penguin from the Flippin’ Best stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Solar White and colored him with Sharpie and Bic Mark-It markers. I cut layering panels from papers in the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit and added a sentiment (from the same stamp set) on the bottom flap. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones to the focal image and two strips of Eyelet Outlet 4mm blue pearls to the bottom flap.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Spring Scalloped Circles stamp set and layered the panel on Lessebo Misty Blue cardstock.

Hey everybody! Happy Fri-YAY! I’m doing the happy dance because I’m once again guesting for Creative Creases Challenge! One of my fun folds was a winner back in December and I was invited by the lovely Debbie to guest for an upcoming challenge, so here I am, just in time for Challenge #82! The Creative Creases Challenges are always ‘anything goes with a fun fold’ (preferably with stamping), so come on over and play! I created a fun hidden pocket pop up card using some favorite items in my stash! My inspiration came from Lisa Curcio’s blog – she loves fun folds as much as I do and shares quite a few of them! This one looks like a regular A2 card from the front but the magic is on the inside! ;)

I cut the fun fold card base from CutCardStock Twine 80# 12×12 cardstock and layering panels from several prints in the Keep it Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. The die cut on the front is from STAMPlorations and is one of my favorites. I finished the front with a few Keep It Simple Ruby enamel dots.

As I said above, the magic is on the inside! There is a hidden pocket with two panels, which means room for two stamped sentiments, and both of them are from the Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set. I added ephemera from the same Ruby Collection Pack to both panels, which completed the card.

Celebrate Your Special Day

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend. Our weather here in southwestern Colorado is indescribably gorgeous! I’ve popped in with another Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share today created with the awesome Prickley Pear Stamps Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set and die. This is another one of the (many) projects I created prior to leaving the Pajama Crafter Stamps team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. I have fallen in love with this pop out z-fold design seen on Lisa Curcio’s blog (she called it a ‘pop up and pull out’) and created another one with a different tube type pop up mechanism that I think is easier. Instead of cutting into the card base, I just scored a piece of cardstock three times and created a tube which I adhered to the center of the card base beneath the black dotted triangle. It’s the easiest way to add a pop up mechanism to any kind of card!

I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock and several coordinating prints in the Stampin’ Up Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack. I stamped the image from the Prickley Pear Stamps Kokopelli-Happy Birthday stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut him with the coordinating Kokopell-Happy Birthday die.

I stamped the music notes directly on the background and the sentiment on a scrap piece of the striped paper which I trimmed and popped up on foam squares, lining up with the background paper. I stamped the second part of the sentiment on the back panel. The finishing touch was adding a few Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots.

Here’s one last overhead shot so you can see the construction. This really IS a pretty cool fun fold! ;)

Merry Christmas fun fold

Hey everybody! Well, another Thursday has rolled around and it’s almost Friday again! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share created with the super fun Prickley Pear Stamps Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set. As mentioned in my previous posts, I have quite a few Pajama Crafter Stamps projects to share that I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. This pop up window card is one I’ve never seen before, and I cannot remember where I saw it. But it’s super easy – an aperture of any shape is cut into the front flap, the die cut shape is reserved to use for the focal image, and a pop up mechanism (simple four-sided box) is added to the top back of the focal image so it stands up when the card is opened. Poof – you have a super cute fun fold!

I cut the card base from Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with two layering panels and a strip from patterned papers in the Simple Stories The Little Things 12×12 Collection Kit. I used a die from the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies to cut an oval aperture into the front flap. I stamped a snowman from the Prickley Pear Stamps Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the oval die cut and colored it with alcohol markers. I added a simple four-sided box pop-up mechanism to the top back of the image and adhered it back into the negative space on the card front. I added several green gemstones and a sentiment (from the same stamp set), which completed the card.

Adventure Awaits

5/4/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Happy Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it’s the first of May… the first half of the year is almost gone! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #80 – Anything Goes! I created a fun pop-up book fold using papers, stamps, a foam element and a puffy button from the super adorable Keep It Simple Hello Adventure Collection. It’s been quite a while since I’ve made this fun fold and I had forgotten how fun it was to make and to embellish!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White along with layering panels from dotted prints in the Keep It Simple Hello Adventure 12×12 Collection Pack and Flipsides Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Adventure Awaits stamp set in Memento Esspresso Truffle ink on the focal die cut piece and then added hearts from the Hello Adventure Foam Alpha Bits and Puffy Buttons. The finishing touch was adding several Hello Adventure Enamel Dots.

I embellished the outer panels on the inside with prints in the Keep It Simple Hello Adventure 12×12 Collection Pack and Flipsides Pack. I stamped woodgrain on the two smaller Solar White pop-up panels in Memento Espresso Truffle ink using the Keep It Simple Woodgrain background stamp. Next I added a stamped tree, mushrooms and stump from the Adventure Awaits stamp set along with a stamped fox and sentiment from the Find Your Wild Side stamp set which I colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut.

Love You Mama Bear

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #167 – Anything Goes! The inside of this Mother’s Day card was one of the first projects I made with my Cricut Explore Air 2, and I instantly fell in love with it! I embellished the front with items in my stash.

The Mama Bear SVG cut file was an introduction to cutting and printing in Cricut Design Space, which I really needed when my new machine arrived last Fall. I used CutCardStock Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock for the base, a patterned paper from the Keep It Simple Snow Day 12×12 Collection Pack for the background, Desert Storm for the folded insert, and Pop Tone Red Hot for the hearts.

The machine printed the sentiment with an 0.4 black pen which very cool. I ended up cutting the folded insert a second time from Pop Tone Hot Fudge and used just the bears which I adhered to the front of those on the Desert Storm folded insert. I embellished the bottom left corner with a bear paw die cut from the Keep It Simple Lumberjack Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces.

I adhered a strip cut from a patterned paper in the Keep It Simple Snow Day 12×12 Collection Pack to a piece of CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock. I used the STAMPlorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Nesting Dies to cut a background panel for the card front. I stamped HAPPY from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add On stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Desert Storm cardstock and cut it with the coordinating die.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and added another bear paw die cut from the Keep It Simple Lumberjack Cards & Ephemera Die Cut Pieces.

5/4/24 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two fellow crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends! I hope you are having the kind of beautiful weather we’re having out here in southwestern Colorado! I’m delighted to share that one of my projects was a top pick a few weeks ago over at Scrapping4fun Challenges. I was invited to guest design for an upcoming challenge, so here I am just in time for Challenge #235 – Wedding/Anniversary! I dug into my arsenal of SVG cut files and came up with this pretty church box card (cut file from SVG Cuts) to make for this challenge. I tailored it for a wedding by changing the wreath a bit, adding yellow vellum to the windows, and adding grass on the sides of the church. I love how it turned out!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Church Box Card cut file, I cut all the church pieces from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock and the wreath from 12×12 Cardstock Shop green and pink textured cardstock. I assembled the wreath, adding flower sequins and a white heart from the Keep It Simple Sprinkles Polymer Clay-Pink & White Hearts with Pearls mix.

Next, I die cut a grass border for each side of the church from the green textured cardstock using the Precious Marieke grass border die, and hand-cut small pieces of 12×12 Cardstock Shop yellow vellum for the front and side windows. The final touch on the front was adding a Tim Holtz idea-ology Small Talk sentiment sticker to the bottom steeple element.

For the back, I stamped a floral pattern on the frame using the Keep It Simple Simply Spring stamp set in Catherine Pooler Pink Champagne ink. I colored the florals with a few alcohol markers (to bring in the purple and pink in the iridescent flower sequins on the wreath) and added some Eyelet Outlet white glitter enamel dots. I stamped a tiny sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment for (Almost) Everything stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basis White scrap, trimmed it, and adhered it horizontally to the sentiment panel. The assembly is always the most fun, and I really enjoyed putting this one together. It was quite easy, actually!

We Still Do!

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re near the end of April already?! I’m thoroughly enjoying sharing all these Pajama Crafter Stamps projects with y’all! I love to work ahead on my design teams and had created quite a few cards prior to stepping down from the Pajama Crafter Stamps DT at the end of February that had not been showcased on my blog or social media platforms. This side accordion panel card features the new Just Married stamp set which I paired with an older Stampin’ Up paper pad. I love the color palette and thought it was perfect for an anniversary card! I’ve seen this fun fold on Pinterest, Sharon Armstrong has a video on her blog, and Lisa Curcio has a version on her blog that she calls an expanding accordion fun fold. So there are a few resources (and different names) out there for this one.

Here are the mini instructions: Cut the 5-1/2″ x 11″ card base from CutCardStock Lessebo White cardstock, score at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″, and fold on all the score lines. Cut a smaller folded piece from White at 3″ x 6″ and score at 3″. From coordinating prints in the Stampin’ Up Stacked With Love designer series paper stack, cut three 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panels for the left side, a 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ panel for the right side, and two 2-3/4″ square panels for the smaller folded piece. Cut one additional 2-3/4″ square panel from white cardstock for a sentiment. Embellish as desired.

I stamped the car from the Just Married stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a light print in the paper stack, and colored the trunk release, bumper, license plate and tires with alcohol markers. I paper-pieced the back window with a white cardstock scrap and added Eyelet Outlet white glitter enamel dots to the back lights. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set which completed the card.

Here’s an overhead shot so you can see the construction. Super easy fold that really packs a punch!

hello Spring

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a fun shaker card to share for Keep It Simple this morning featuring our new Melody Stories alpha stamps and dies! Have you ever made a shaker card with alpha die cuts? Well, I haven’t either – until now! It’s made just like a regular shaker card but with a bunch of alpha die cuts (and a few floral die cut pieces) instead of shaker bits, and I thought it would be a fun and unique way to showcase our new alphas! We have several new sets of alpha stamps and dies in the store, so be sure to check them out! And if you make a purchase, remember to use my code LoveToScrap2 for 10% off your entire order!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut layering panels and a frame for the shaker (using a Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Die) from coordinating papers in the Simply Spring 6×9 Collection Pack. I die cut a bunch of alphas using the KIS Cuts Melody Stories Font for the inside of the shaker and threw in a few flowers from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces.

Using the KIS Alphabet Stamps Melody Stories Font, I stamped ‘SPRING’ in black ink and die cut the letters with the coordinating KIS Cuts Melody Stories Font and adhered them in the bottom right corner. I grabbed a butterfly (and scored the wings) and the word ‘hello’ from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces and adhered them to the front of the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished it with strips from the floral pattern and white cardstock used on the front and a die cut from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces.

Welcome, Little One (set of 3)

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re looking forward to some beautiful Spring weather this weekend! Mother Nature is finally acting like she likes us… our nights are in the 40s now and we haven’t had any more snow for about a week now. For no particular reason, I’ve been in baby card mode for several weeks and today I have a set of three super adorable baby crib pop up cards to share that I created with my Cricut and an old Silhouette cut file I’ve had in my arsenal for many years.

For many years, Silhouette only offered Studio cut files which couldn’t be used with any other cutting machine, so when I gave my Cameo away and bought another brand of cutting machine I wasn’t able to use any of the gazillion files in my Silhouette library. Fortunately, Silhouette has finally started offering SVG cut files in addition to their Studio files so I’ve gone back into my library and repurchased the SVG version of many of the Studio files I already owned. It’s crappy that one has to repurchase the SVG version but in most cases they don’t cost very much so it’s more of an inconvenience. But long story short, this baby crib pop up card SVG cut file was one of those that I repurchased so I made it in three colors while I had my Cricut out! ;)

All three cards are identical except for the blue, pink and green double-sided patterned papers from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Royal, Rose and Jade 12×12 Collection Packs and the matching Back To Basics Ribbon and Enamel Hearts. I fashioned the bows with a cute little wooden bow maker that my awesome friend, Maureen, gifted me this past Christmas. The baby rattle on the front of each card was cut from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Eris cardstock which is a pretty shimmery white. The front and inside sentiments are from Paper Pretties Oh Baby stamp set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

How adorable is the baby room scene inside?! So stinkin’ cute, I can’t even stand it! The window frame, shelf and 3D crib were also cut from the Eris cardstock. The building blocks were cut from papers in the Keep It Simple Ruby, Royal and Lemon 12×12 Collection Packs and backed with Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock scraps.
