Merry Christmas Cardinals

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! You all know that I create Christmas crafts all year long, and this pretty card features our Cardinal Brads, Cardinal Profile Brads, Female Cardinal Brads and Clear Jewel Bling Strips. I absolutely love cardinals and thoroughly enjoyed creating this card with my Scan N Cut. Many people believe that a loved one is watching over us if a cardinal appears, and that’s what I always think of when I see one! ;)

I cut the card base from American Crafts White cardstock, and the remaining pieces from CutCardStock Basis Gray, Basis Red, Dolphin, and Curious Metallic White Silver cardstock. I added a Cardinal Brad, a Cardinal Profile Brad and a Female Cardinal Brad to the birch trees, and then added a Clear Jewel Bling Strip down each side for a little festive bling.

Here’s another angled shot.

And one more look… folded flat for mailing! This card is amazing and the three kinds of cardinal brads I used are some of my favorites in the Eyelet Outlet store!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great weekend and doing something fun! You know where I like to be, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have a card to share this morning that I created for Prickley Pear Stamps – and yep, you guessed it… another fun fold! This is a side fold which I really love, and I also really love a pink and green color combo! This card features our Sketched Florals Azalea stamp set along with our Flower Hug For You – Coneflower stamp set that I used for the inside sentiment.

I cut the side fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock and Hot Off The Press Sweet Pea patterned papers which I adhered together and then to the card base. I stamped the image from the Sketched Florals Azalea stamp set in black ink on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and cut it with the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Square STAX Die-namics. I layered the image on green cardstsock and adhered it to the front of the card. I stamped the sentiment in green ink and then added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix and Trinity Stamps Andradite Sparkle Embellishment Mix to complete the front. And I’m so irritated that one of the gemstones shifted and I didn’t notice it until I was perusing photos and no longer had the card in my possession. *sigh* And yes, I know, once you’ve seen it you cannot un-see it! Bahahaha! :P

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of patterned paper and CutCardStock Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Flower Hug For You – Coneflower stamp set in green ink and layered the panel on green cardstock.

And one more look… love how this turned out! This stamp set is so gorgeous!

Rose Birthday Corner Card

Hey, everybody! A very Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope your week has started off nicely! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m back this morning with another sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps. As mentioned the other day, I still have several samples to share that I created some time ago, and my goal is to get them blogged by the end of March. This pretty corner fold features our Sketched Florals Rose stamp set, Wacky Waves nesting die set and Scalloped Oval 4-Floral stamp set. It’s been a minute since I’ve created a corner fold and I thought this image would look amazing on it, so that’s the angle I went with. I heat embossed the image (clear over black) and colored it with Fire Red, Olive Green and Cinnamon Karin Brushmarkers. These markers are truly amazing and the colors are so deep and rich.

I cut the corner fold base from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. Using the Sketched Florals Rose stamp set, I stamped three images in black ink on ivory cardstock, stamped them again in Versamark and heat embossed them in Hero Arts clear embossing powder. I colored them with the Karin Brushmarkers as noted above, trimmed the panels and layered them on black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on an ivory cardstock scrap, trimmed it and layered it beneath a black cardstock frame die cut with the Wacky Waves nesting die set. I flattened the card and added several iridescent gemstones to complete the card front.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock as well, stamped a sentiment from the Scalloped Oval 4-Floral stamp set in black ink, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock.

And one more look… love this fold and LOVE this stamp set! All of the stamp sets in the Sketched Florals line are beautiful and make such pretty cards!

Hi friends! It’s already Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend and making the most of what’s left of it! I don’t think I mentioned that I replaced my MISTI several weeks ago due to a crack in the door. I was lucky enough to score one of Iliana’s original hand-made MISTIs a number of years ago when my friend Vicki told a group of us about them on Facebook – before they became so popular and she started manufacturing them. It sure has served me well but I have to admit that I’m tickled to have a brand spankin’ new one! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning to share a sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps. I still have several card samples to share that I created a while back, and this mini bendi card is one of them. You know how I love me some fun folds and this mini bendi was showcased in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter HERE a little more than a year ago. This card features the I Love You Toolbox And All stamp set and Tools background stamp which are great for masculine birthdays or Father’s Day which is coming up in a few months. This was a fun and easy card that sure packs a punch!

I cut the bendi card base and two panels from CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock. Using the I Love You Toolbox And All stamp set, I stamped the toolbox on CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it. Lucky for you all, there is now a coordinating toolbox die which wasn’t available yet when I made this card. ;) I zeroed in on two wood patterned papers from the P13 Always and Forever 6×8 designer paper pad, and used one of them for the main background panels and used the other for one of the bendi panels on which I stamped tools using the Tools background stamp and colored with alcohol markers. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set at the top in black ink and adhered the toolbox, which completed the front.

Here’s an angled and somewhat overhead shot so you can see the construction.

I cut the two back panels from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished them with leftover strips of one of the wood patterned papers used on the front, then stamped the sentiment from the same I Love You Toolbox And All stamp set in black ink.

And one more look… folded flat and ready to put in an envelope. Great stamp sets that I see getting a lot more use! Not to mention the fun fold… I see more of these in my future, too! ;)

Happy Valentine’s Day Birdhouse Box Card

3/5/22 Top 3 at Crafty Calendar Challenge!
3/28/22 DT Favorite at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hey everybody! I’m back on this fine Saturday morning with my second project share for the CutCardStock My Sweet Valentine Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow! Be sure to hop along with us for a chance to win a $40 CutCardStock gift card! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve been having the best time playing with my Scan N Cut and thoroughly enjoyed creating the two Valentines from our amazing Basis cardstock for the hop. As mentioned in my last post, I’m showcasing both cards separately so I can enter them into some challenges. I am a fun fold geek and box cards run right there at the top of my favorite list! This card features lots of hearts in various forms and sizes, an adorable birdhouse adorned with red bling, embossed panels, and two of the cutest love birds ever perched in front of their house behind a white picket fence!

I cut all the pieces from Basis 80# Red cardstock, Basis 80# Pink cardstock, Basis 80# Black cardstock, Basis 80# White cardstock and Basis 80# Gold cardstock. Picking out the colors of cardstock is always fun when creating with the Scan N Cut, but I always look forward to the assembly the most! And the sentiment on the front of this card was also printed with the Scan N Cut using the draw feature which I’ve used several times and have grown to love!

Here’s a shot from a different angle. The back (which I didn’t photograph) is completely blank with plenty of room to write a custom message and sign.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. Another super cute box card that I’m totally in love with!

Be Mine Love Truck Box Card

2/11/22 Top 3 Winner at Alphabet Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend… but if you don’t, let me suggest that you hop along with us in the CutCardStock My Sweet Valentine Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow for a chance to win a $40 CutCardStock gift card! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be participating in the hop showcasing two absolutely adorable box cards created with our amazing Basis cardstock and I’ve popped in to share my first project. I’m posting both cards separately so I can enter them into some challenges. Box cards are at the top of my all-time favorite list of fun folds and this one has several really cute features – metallic silver elements, stamped side and back panels, embossed tires, and lots of hearts (some adorned with red gemstones).

I cut all the pieces from Basis 80# Red cardstock, Basis 80# Pink cardstock, Basis 80# Black cardstock, Basis 80# White cardstock and Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock. To me, the real fun is assembling the box cards, and this one was no different! And I have to tell you that I was SO intimidated by the draw feature on my Scan N Cut that I’ve never (you read that right… never) used it in the 6+ years I’ve been using a Scan N Cut. Not sure what happened, but the process just clicked in my brain – I’ve used it several times now and love it!

There’s a panel on the back with a stamped sentiment and room for a signature.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. I’m so smitten with this card – it turned out so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a 4th of July card featuring our Flag & Hat Brads and Patriotic Enamel Stars! You know me and fun folds… I ran across my own zig-zag template while I was looking through my tutorial files for something else, and decided it would be perfect for this card! I went one step further on this one and die cut two round apertures to see the fireworks through, which I thought was a fun touch!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock, two narrow embellishing strips from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock, and layering panels from assorted coordinated patriotic papers. Using a Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers die, I die cut circular apertures into the first and second sections. I stamped the fireworks on one of the negative space circular die cuts and adhered it to the third section to be seen through the apertures. I stamped the main sentiment in red ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, cut it with a Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Layers die and adhered it along the top of the first section.

I used our blue and white Patriotic Enamel Stars to embellish all three inside sections. I affixed a hat from our Flag & Hat Brads to the second section adjacent to another stamped sentiment.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap from one of the patterned papers used on the front along with a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in red ink, added a flag from our Flag & Hat Brads and some Patriotic Enamel Stars, and layered the panel on the blue cardstock.

And one more look… so smitten with this design! I totally love the enamel stars used with the hat and flag brads!

Birthday Bouquet Card

Happy Wednesday, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week and you’re not working too hard! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m delighted to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of our Astrobrights cardstock that’s on sale this month! Be sure to stock up – the colors in this line are so bright and vibrant and would look really good in your stash! I used Re-Entry Red, Pulsar Pink, Planetary Purple, Lunar Blue, and Solar Yellow for my project which I paired with my studio staple Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock.

I cut the card base pieces from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock and the scalloped doily from vellum; the flowers from Astrobrights Re-Entry Red cardstock, Astrobrights Pulsar Pink cardstock, Astrobrights Planetary Purple cardstock, Astrobrights Lunar Blue cardstock and Astrobrights Solar Yellow cardstock; and the leaves from Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock. I assembled the flowers first and adhered a clear gemstone to the center of each.

I arranged the doily, leaves and flowers on the top portion of the base, and once I was happy with the placement, I adhered them. I threaded red Offray ribbon through the slots on the center portion of the insert, stamped the sentiment in red ink on the insert, and adhered just the center portion.

And one more look… all folded up and ready to mail. Such a fun project that would be a good one to involve kids or grandkids!

Hi friends! Happy Friday – I hope you’re having a wonderful week! We’re two weeks into January already… yikes! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! One of my projects was a top pick over at Cut It Up Challenges at the end of December and I was invited to guest design in an upcoming challenge so here I am sharing my GD inspiration project for Challenge – 243 Anything Goes which is a super adorable crayon box card! I am such a fiend when it comes to awesome cut files and putting these fun projects together! I was on an SVG design team for 2-1/2 years and since stepping down almost two years ago, I’ve really missed it! I seem to be getting my Scan N Cut out of the cabinet for crafty plays more and more often these days, lol!

I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Gold, Basis Green, Basis Orange, Basis Red, Basis Navy, Pop-Tone Grape Jelly, Bonsai Green and Camomile cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, and American Crafts Marine cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Prickley Pear Stamps Truck stamp set in green ink on the tag for the front.

I absolutely love putting these kinds of projects together! Box cards are among my all-favorites, and this one was particularly fun! I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Color My World stamp set in green ink on the panel for the back.

And one more look… I’m just totally smitten! So happy to have scored the guest gig at Cut It Up Challenges where I was able to share this!

2/1/22 Top Pick at Crafting Happiness Challenges!

Hi peeps! Well, 2022 has arrived in what seems like a very short amount of time, lol! It seems like January 1st of 2021 was just yesterday! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! 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 #66 – Anything Goes! I’ve been on a Scan N Cut kick here lately and have cut quite a few files for design team projects. This adorable twist and pop card was created with a cut file from My Scrap Chick.

I cut all the pieces from American Crafts Sunflower, White and Stone cardstock, as well as CutCardStock Basis Red, Basis Aqua, Basis Green, Basis Navy, Pop-Tone Tangy Orange and Shadow Gray cardstock. The sentiment is from The Project Bin Milky Way stamp set which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink.

Then the fun began putting it together. Twist and pop cards really are a lot of fun, and being able to cut them electronically rather than measuring and scoring manually is the bomb!

The inside sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped in the same dark blue ink.

And one more look… this was a super fun project. I can literally sit for hours putting these kinds of cards together!
