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!

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.

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!

If you are hopping along – and hopefully enjoying our design team projects – then you’ve landed here because I’m the last stop on the hop! And I have blog candy!

I’ll draw a winner on Monday, October 30th!

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.

Hi friends! I hope you are healthy and happy, and your weekend has started off nicely! I have a very cool triple Z-fold to share with you this morning that I created for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge honoring our dear friend, Janis. I’ve seen several versions of a triple Z-fold on Pinterest and since the basic Z-fold is one of the easiest to make, I figured adding the triple strips would be a breeze – and it was! I made this one in a standard A2 size and it folds flat for mailing. I have shared the instructions for this easy fun fold in the Freebies section of my blog, so be sure to check it out you’d like to learn how to make it. I totally love Tim’s Crazy Cat stamps and dies, and this is the second card I made using them for the cat lovers Christmas challenge. These cats never get old! And I couldn’t resist putting sunglasses on this guy, too! ;)

I cut the card base and strips from 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Echo Park A Perfect Christmas Collection Kit. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies, I die cut ovals from Solar White cardstock and CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green cardstock. I adhered them to the card front and added a sentiment sticker from the Echo Park collection. I stamped the cat from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamp set on Solar White cardstock, colored him with alcohol markers and cut him with the coordinating Crazy Cats Framelits.

I wanted to use the Santa hat in the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Things stamp set but it was right-hand oriented, so I used the Neat & Tangled Backdrop stamp and Memento Tuxedo Black ink to reverse the image and make it left-hand oriented which ‘flowed’ better with the this particular cat. I darkened the outline just a tad with a Sakura black Pigma Micron 08 pen. I colored the image with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it, and added an Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses Brad.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the Echo Park collection and layered the panel on Scottish Highlands Green cardstock.

10/21/23 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Happy Thursday, everybody! The weekend is almost here and I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’ve been busy creating cards for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge that has been organized to honor our friend, Janis. This front flap card is one of my most favorite fun folds because it’s so easy and really packs a punch. And I used a kraft and gold color scheme which I really love. It’s been a while since I pulled out the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamps and dies, so I made two cards while I had them out, with different cats, of course! And don’t you just love the sunglasses?! Bahahaha!

I cut the flat card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural and the front flap from Basis 80# Natural cardstock. I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Kraft & Gold Print 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the cat from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Basis Natural, colored him with alcohol markers, and cut him with the coordinating Crazy Cats Framelits.

I adhered the cat to a rectangle cut with the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies that I layered on a Basis 80# Natural panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink on the back side of a scrap, fussy cut, and adhered it to the rectangle. I removed the prongs from an Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses Brad and adhered the sunglasses to the cat with Stampin’ Up Mini Dimensionals. The final touch was adding several pearls Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with a scrap of the plaid print used on the front. I stamped the sentiment (also from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink and layered it on the back side of a scrap.

12/26/23 In the 2023 Spotlight at Try It On Tuesdays!

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve popped in this morning to share a fun Halloween card that I made for a swap in one of my design teams. The recipient has received it so it’s safe to share! I have to admit that I was not fond of this triple point card at all when I first saw it and I don’t know why; it just didn’t appeal to me. It seems to be pretty popular and after seeing so many of them, it has actually ‘grown’ on me. I’ve made a couple of them now (this was the first one) and I didn’t use any instructions – I was able to make it from memory, lol. It’s really very simple – cut the front flap into a point and rotate the triangular corners upward at an angle on each side to create the triple point at the bottom. That’s it!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with a spider web layering panel from the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies, I cut a large circle from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Opulent Opal 12×12 cardstock and adhered witch and star die cuts from the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked Die Cut Pieces. I chose a sentiment from the Die Cut Pieces, trimmed it and rounded the corners with my Kadomaru Pro corner rounder.

I cut the inside panel from an orange dotted print in the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked 6×9 Collection Pack and adhered a slightly smaller stitched circle die cut. I stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats 2 stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a star die cut.

boo fun fold

Hey everybody! It’s Saturday and I hope you have a fun weekend planned! Has the weather cooled off any where you are? Our nights are down in the upper 30s/low 40s and our days are in the mid to high 60s which makes us happy! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Syncopation Design inspiration project created with the super cool Code Orange stamp set! *Minor profanity alert!* OMGoodness, I totally love these stamps because there are so many options for fun Halloween cards! The card I made is yet another version of the double flap fun fold! I have quite a few double flap fun folds in my tutorial arsenal and each one is just as fun as the next! ;)

I started by inking the Solar White panel for the smaller flap. I used The Crafter’s Workshop Mini Bricks stencil with Ranger antique linen distress ink and a blending brush across the bottom. I masked that off and used Ranger stormy sky distress ink and a blending brush for the sky. I mixed a tiny bit of Judi-Kins Iridescent Sparkle embossing powder in some DreamWeaver Translucent embossing paste and applied it through the Keep It Simple Starry Skies stencil. This was a total experiment… I wasn’t sure mixing embossing powder and embossing paste would even work, but it actually turned out pretty cool looking with translucent sparkly stars!

So, while the stars were drying, I cut the card base and all the layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Orange Fizz, Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Black Licorice, along with coordinating Halloween papers from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad. I stamped the kitty, moon, candy and one-word sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, colored the images with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. I popped the kitty up on foam pads and adhered the moon, candy and sentiment flat on the panel.

Here’s a shot of the smaller panel opened up revealing the slightly larger panel.

And here’s a shot of the slightly larger panel opened revealing the hilarious inside sentiment. Gotta love Jennifer’s sense of humor! :D
