Fall Blessings GC Holder

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – can’t believe it’s here already! But that’s a good thing for most working folks! I’m back this morning with another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! With the beautiful Autumn/Fall weather upon us, I thought it was only fitting to create a coffee cup shaped gift card holder with pretty patterned papers and stickers from the collection. I’ve made quite a few coffee cup shaped cards over the years (reworked from THIS tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers) but this is the first time I’ve ever made it with the gift card mechanism inside and I love how it turned out!

The card base was cut from heavyweight white cardstock and embellished with three coordinating prints from the kit. The sentiment was die cut from a journaling card in the paper pack and embellished with flourish stickers from the sticker sheet. I dry embossed the cup ‘sleeve’ with a Darice Stripes embossing folder. The front was finished with an additional sticker across the top of the lid and some gemstones.

I embellished the inside panel with a couple more stickers from the sticker sheet. This would be awesome with a Starbucks gift card!

‘Tis The Season To Be FALL-y

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! The Fall colors and prints in this month’s collection are phenomenal and the ideas running through my head are never-ending! I created a fun hidden message slider card featuring papers and stickers along with a chipboard phrase and puffy stickers from the upgrades. I’ve made several hidden message slider cards in the past and my notes are for a hand-cut version. I now have a My Favorite Things die (yesss!) that makes this hidden message slider card without all the measuring and I’m beyond tickled!

The base of this card is cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and layered with several prints from this month’s collection. The focal image on the hidden slider panel is a chipboard phrase embellished with a couple puffy stickers, all from the upgrades.

When the hidden slider panel is pulled upward, the hidden message appears beneath it which I created with stickers from the sticker sheet. Such a fun surprise for the recipient!

I’m So Glad It’s Fall Time!

Hi everyone! I hope your week is plugging along nicely! I have an amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share that I created with the awesome November 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m sure by now you know that the Autumn/Fall season is my favorite. I totally love all the coordinating papers and stickers along with the upgrades in this month’s kit and I created a pull tab flip card featuring papers, stickers and a chipboard phrase from the upgrades. This is such fun fold and my inspiration came from Aubrey over at Stamping Jill through another friend, Debbie. Tutorials for both landscape and portrait options are available on the Stamping Jill website.

I used CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock for the base along with coordinating papers from the collection layered on CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I embellished the front with a large sticker included in the paper pack and a chipboard phrase in the upgrades. I used Really Reasonable Ribbon yellow gingham ribbon and Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine on the pull tab.

I embellished the inside of the flip mechanism with a journaling card from the paper pack which I cut in half, rounded the corners, and layered on Basis Black cardstock. I also used stickers from the sticker sheet on the panels for some interest.

Happy Autumn

Howdy, friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I’m back with my second post today to share one more Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with paper, dies and ephemera in the Farmhouse Fall Collection. I tell you, I sure have enjoyed these products and I could create Autumn and Fall stuff all year long! This is a flat card (meaning there is no flap and the second sentiment is on the back – kind of like a post card) with a raised inlaid die cut. I totally love the this technique and seem to be doing it often these days!

I cut a standard A2 size flat card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from a patterned paper in the 6×9 CardStock Pack. Using the largest background die in the Happy Autumn KIS Cuts, I cut an aperture into the layering panel and then cut two more background pieces from Basis Natural which I layered together for dimension. I die cut the rest of the pieces from papers in the Cardstock Pack, assembled the focal image and adhered it to the layered background, and then adhered it into the negative space on the card front. The finishing touch was adding a few Jade enamel dots.

I cut the back panel from Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the green paper used on the front. I added a sentiment from the Falling For You Ephemera Die Cut Pieces and layered the panel on navy paper.

Hi friends! The last challenge of the year is going live this morning on most of my challenge blogs… it’s hard to believe this year is almost over! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #4 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! We have something exciting happening in January 2024 on this challenge blog – we’ll have a new name and we’re opening up our challenges to ALL occasions! This means you are welcome to create a project for ANY holiday, season or occasion using the Featured BINGO Card. You are more than welcome to continue creating Christmas projects if that’s your jam, but feel free to branch out if you want! This challenge, though, is still Christmas-themed, so please keep that in mind.

I used the Sizzix Ornament Fold-A-Long Thinlits (which I’ve had in my stash for a while) to create a pretty fun fold card for this challenge. I went with Column G this time (red, die cuts, pearls and fancy fold). I also used one of my forever favorite paper packs from Hot Off The Press. I’m very pleased with how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural and the layers and elements from Hot Off The Press Christmas Memories 6×6 papers and CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. Of course, as with all fun folds and 3D projects, the most fun is the assembly!

I added a bow fashioned from Hemptique craft cording paired with GKD gold craft cording. Here’s a shot of it completely opened. So pretty!

Oh Holy Night Matchbook

Hey everybody! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Christmas is just around the corner! Have you started on your Christmas cards and projects yet?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #53 – Anything Christmas Goes! I’ve been playing with Matchbooks again – you know those tiny little Art Impressions works of art that I can’t seem to get enough of?! This Nativity Matchbook set is super adorable and I so love how this project turned out!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template dies, I cut the base from P13 Always and Forever double-sided paper. It had butterflies on the reverse side of the woodgrain print which I didn’t want to show, so I adhered panels of woodgrain on the reverse side as well. I stamped the images in the Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook die set. The fun part of these is always the assembly! ;) Finally, I cut the teeny envelope from a gray-brown paper in the Urban Style Design Pad using the Art Impressions Matchbook Envelopes Dies.

Here are a few more angled shots. I really, really love this Art Impressions Matchbook line!

Hey everybody! I hope your weather isn’t too cold where you are! We’re having some cold stuff here but that’s how we like it! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for MIUCB #68 – Anything Goes + optional Stamping! We’d love to see your project with rubber/clear stamps and no digis this time if you choose to play the twist. But remember, the twist is not necessary to play in our challenges – we’d be happy to see just an ‘anything goes’ project! I created a super cute and somewhat whimsical shaker card featuring some of my favorite STAMPlorations and This Calls For Confetti products in my stash. This card was for an online friend who is battling pancreatic cancer, and I believe she’s received it, so there’s no spoiler alert. My heart really goes out to this sweet lady; she is such an inspiration with her upbeat and positive attitude. I’m not sure how I would handle the situation she’s in, but she’s handling it with grace and dignity.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the lemon outline from the STAMPlorations Layered Citrus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on the layering panel, cut around the perimeter, and adhered acetate behind the window with Scor-Tape. I then stamped the full color lemon in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello and Chiffon inks directly on the card base.

I stamped the sentiment (also from the Layered Citrus stamp set) in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello ink on the layering panel. I added tiny lemon slices from This Calls For Confetti Iced Pink Lemonade confetti and tiny white stars from The 80s Polymer Clay Mix, and adhered the layering panel to the card base with double-sided foam strips, closing up the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of Solar White cardstock and strips of CutCardStock Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Unity Stamp Co. Blossom By Blossom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and layered the panel on Lemon Drop cardstock.

Seize The Cake

Hi friends! So how is the weather where you are? Are you getting any chilly weather, or better yet, any snow?! You know we love our snowy winter weather out here in southwestern Colorado! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #77 – Anything Goes! I made THE cutest birthday card using the Hot Off The Press Cake Box Cutting Dies. I’ve already made a couple box cards using this die set and they sure don’t disappoint! I love these dies and I love how this card turned out! Definitely got some color goin’ on! ;)

I cut the box card base (chocolate cake layers, lol) from CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock and the icing layers from a cute dotted print in the My Favorite Things Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pack, and assembled the card. I cut the candle and a bunch of flower layers from various prints in the Sweet Celebration paper pack, and the flame from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I assembled the candle and flowers, and adhered them to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Something To Say stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink on a scrap piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and cut it with the fancy die in the HOTP die set. I added a white twine bow along with iridescent gemstones in the flower centers.

I used the middle cake layer die in the set to cut a sentiment panel for the back from Solar White cardstock, and stamped another sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up stamp set in brown ink.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having an awesome week – it’s Friday! I’m delighted to be back with an inspiration project to share for Keep It Simple DT! I just love seeing all the spooky and not-so-spooky Halloween projects this time of year! Our design team has created some awesome projects and we’re having a social media HOP to share some last-minute Halloween project ideas today, tomorrow and Sunday! There’s a full HOP list on my Instagram post HERE if you want to hop along!

I created a very cool pop out gatefold card featuring papers and die cut pieces from the ‘A Wee Bit Wicked’ Collection! I am totally in love with literally everything in this collection! My inspiration for this fold came from Sandie on the Stampingbella DT. Her tutorial is HERE on the Stampingbella blog if you’re interested. It was definitely a fun one and I totally love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the A Wee Bit Wicked 6×9 Collection Pack. I used quite a few die cuts from the A Wee Bit Wicked Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. I used a piece of black thread to connect the spiders to the web.

Here’s a shot of the card closed and folded flat for mailing. There is room on the back for a signature and optional message which I didn’t photograph.

Hey peeps, how are you today? I hope you had a great weekend and you’re looking forward to an awesome week coming up! I’ve popped in this morning with another card I created for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge in honor of our friend, Janis. I dug into some of my older papers, stamps and dies and made another triple point fun fold featuring a Paper Smooches kitty sitting in a Birch Tree Design wreath! It’s funny how a fun fold design that I was not crazy about initially has become one that I really like!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Christmas Print 6×6 cardstock pad. Next, I created the wreath using the Birch Tree Design Roundabout die set. I cut the layers from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil, Habanero Red and Kale Green cardstock and assembled the wreath. Using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop STAX, I cut a large circle from CutCardStock Mantis Green cardstock and adhered the wreath.

I stamped the kitty from the Paper Smooches Feline Friends stamp set in Catherine Pooler Sand Castle ink and cut it with the coordinating die. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink and adhered the kitty beneath it on a foam strip. The final touch was adding a tiny heart punched from a Habanero Red cardstock scrap using the Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter punch.

Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop STAX, I cut another large circle from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink and adhered the circle to the inside panel directly beneath the circle on the front panel.
