Hugs & Kisses tag card

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week so far and it’s not too awfully cold where you are! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a Valentine tag card with a shaker! I used White, Cherry Red and Dawn Maroon cardstock from the new Lessebo line along with Pop Tone Cotton Candy and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal. I haven’t made a shaker card for a minute or three so I figured I’d do it up! Shakers are always fun to make and even more fun to receive!

Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Nesting Tag Dies, I cut a top-folding tag-shaped card base and layering panel from Lessebo White along with a tag-shaped layering panel from Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock. I embellished the front layer with strips cut from Lessebo White, Lessebo Cherry Red, Lessebo Dawn Maroon, Pop Tone Cotton Candy and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. I used the Heart Shaker Pouch Starter Kit (including the die) from This Calls For Confetti to cut the aperture into the front layer.

I stamped a sentiment from the My Favorite Things Lots of Hugs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black centered over the aperture. I added shaker mix consisting of Buttons Galore & More Love & Kisses Sprinkletz Embellishments, Pitter Patter Doo Dadz Embellishments, and Love Story Half Pearlz Embellishments, and adhered the layer to the card base. The finishing touch was adding several flat-back pearls from the Buttons Galore & More Love Story Half Pearlz Embellishments. I also added a tiny bow fashioned from Prairie Bird Boutique red wrinkled ribbon using a wooden bow maker my awesome friend Mo sent me for Christmas!

I cut tag-shaped layers for the inside from Lessebo White and Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock using the same Nested Tag Dies and embellished the white one with a few leftover strips from the front. I stamped another sentiment from the My Favorite Things Lots of Hugs stamp set in black ink.

Hey everybody! Can you believe the weekend is gone already?! I hope you’re raring to go on this fine Monday morning! I’m up on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the Sliding By stamp set from our new release! I created a latch card which is a really easy design – it’s simply a bi-level card (meaning the front flap is a different length or width than the base flap) with a ‘latch’ to keep it closed! The latch on this card is a tree brad that coordinates with the trees in the stamp set! Talk about cuteness overload!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped three clusters of trees from the Sliding By stamp set in Catherine Poole Sage ink, lining up the cluster on the right-hand side with the right edge of the front flap and inside panel. I stamped the penguin in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and colored him with alcohol markers. I fussy cut and edged the image with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker.

I added three Eyelet Outlet Tree Brads, making one of them the latch (popped up on a dimensional), along with several snowflakes and gemstones from the Buttons Galore & More Frozen Mix Upz Embellishments. The front sentiment is from the Sliding By stamp set and the inside sentiment is from the Prickley Pear Stamps Flourished Oval 3-Holidays stamp set, stamped in black ink. I added three vertically-aligned gemstones in the right lower corner which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m back this morning with one more awesome ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share created with the awesome January 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m absolutely enamored with the papers in this month’s collection and I’ve made another cool fun fold. This one is a 3D window card which features a floral and a geometric print along with a journaling card and stickers from the sticker sheet. My inspiration once again has come from Lisa Curcio’s blog. I took a few minutes a couple weeks ago to look around her blog and came away with quite a few ideas for some new fun folds! She’s amazing!

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the kit. An oval aperture was die cut into the front layer using a Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Die.

The focal element seen in the center of the aperture was cut from a journaling card in the collection and embellished with stickers from the sticker sheet. I added a back panel which I embellished with a strip of paper along with butterfly and sentiment stickers from the sticker sheet.

Hi everybody, Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the awesome January 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’ve been having the time of my life playing with all the goodies in this month’s collection. You know how much I love me some fun folds (and I love purple) so I created a pop out accordion card featuring papers and stickers in the collection along with die cut pieces from the upgrades… all in purple! My inspiration for this card also came from Lisa Curcio’s blog. She’s one talented lady and I get SO much inspiration when I visit!

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Lilac cardstock. Layering panels were cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Lilac and Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with coordinating patterned papers in the collection. A sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet was added to the front along with floral die cut pieces from the upgrades.

The finishing touches were adding a couple Eyelet Outlet Mini Butterfly Brads and a few yellow gemstones from my stash.

‘You’re Awesome!’ Matchbook

1/20/24 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re into the middle of January already?! Dang, where is the time going?! You know how much I love the Art Impressions Matchbook line, and I’ve been playing with the Office Matchbook stamps and dies and created this adorable little scene to enter in the Art Impressions current Clean Slate: #366 – Anything Goes challenge! I’m so excited to be sharing another one of these amazing little masterpieces!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template die, I cut the base from a Polly’s Paper Studio double-sided paper. I’ve created quite a few Matchbooks and I’ve used Polly’s Paper Studios papers for all but one. I don’t know why, but I always reach for her papers for the bases. I stamped all the elements in the Art Impressions Office Matchbook stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and cut them with the coordinating Art Impressions Office Matchbook dies. I colored them with alcohol markers and then assembled the Matchbook. So stinkin’ cute!

Here are several more angled shots and one with the teeny tiny envelope. ;)

High Five! To Jesus

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – the weeks sure roll by fast these days and the weekends seem to be a blur! I’m up on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the super adorable High Five stamp set from our new release! What makes this set so special – besides being all about cats (hehehe) – is the fact that the images with the paw up the in the air are modeled after Joy’s own cats who do that while they are watching the online Sunday services! I just love that! As you know, the front step card is one of my all-time favorite fun folds so that’s the direction I went with this colorful project!

The card base was cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating patterned papers in the the Keep It Simple Max & Daisy Collection Pack. I stamped the kitty and sentiment from the High Five stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar White cardstock, did some super basic coloring of the image with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. To complete the front, I added some hearts from the Keep It Simple Max & Daisy Enamel Shapes.

I cut the back panel from Cougar White, embellished it with a leftover strip of the multicolor stripe pattern in the Max & Daisy Collection, and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock. I stamped paw prints in the lower right corner but otherwise left the panel blank to write a custom message.

1/20/24 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! Well, another weekend has come and gone, and here we are officially in the middle of January! I’m delighted to share that one of my projects scored both Stand Out and Top 5 Creation honors over at Scrapping4fun Challenges a few weeks back, so I was invited by the lovely Rachelle to guest design in Challenge #231. The theme of this challenge is to Add Turtles or Fish, so I pulled out some Carta Bella beachy papers and stickers along with an adorable flatback resin fish from Buttons Galore & More to create this double diamond fold! I was inspired by the cards Lisa Curcio showcased on her blog using this fold and I love how mine turned out. I’m sure I’ll be making this again!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo White and the layering panels from Lessebo Sunset Orange and Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Whale Done stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the center panel and added a couple shell stickers. Next, I added a fish from the Buttons Galore & More Aquarium Flatbackz Embellishments, and the finishing touch was adding iridescent and yellow gemstones.

Here’s an angled shot showing the construction, and the best part is this card folds flat for mailing!

Sending Hugs & Kisses

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! It’s been snowing on and off for a couple days here and we have about a foot on the ground with lots of drifts because it has been pretty windy, too. Definitely good days to stay inside and craft! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the new Sent With Love Collection! This collection was just released two days ago and it’s plum full of gorgeous papers, stamps, dies, die cut pieces, and stencils! There are ribbons and enamel shapes already in the store that coordinate very nicely with this collection, AND there are new shaker bits!

I created a rotating center circle fun fold featuring papers and die cut pieces from this new collection, and I totally love how it turned out! My inspiration came from Purple_Girl_Crafts on You Tube and her video for this one is HERE. So fun! If you like the Keep It Simple products I’ve used and are inclined to shop, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, plus the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

The square card base was cut from CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry cardstock. I used coordinating papers from the 6×9 Collection Pack for the layering panels and rotating circle mechanism, and added die cuts from the Sent With Love Die Cut Pieces to the center of the circle. Since the star of the show is on the inside, I added a back panel which I embellished with a strip from another coordinating paper and a die cut sentiment.

Here’s a short video showing the card opening and closing! I’m so enamored with this fold, I can’t stand it! ;)
