Hi friends! It’s Christmas Eve and I hope you’ve had an awesome week and you’re ready for jolly St. Nick to arrive! I’m still shaking my head at how fast this year has flown by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I won a challenge over at Creative Creases Challenge a couple weeks ago and the lovely Debbie invited me to guest design, so I’ve created a pretty fun fold Christmas wallet as my GD project for Creative Creases Challenge #22 that launched this morning. This is my own design and it’s super easy to create, and the sky is the limit as far as theme and decoration! I chose Christmas because I had Concord & 9th stamps and dies I’ve been wanting to use since I bought them a couple months ago… you know how that goes, lol! ;)

I cut the wallet base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock using my template HERE and rounded the bottom corners. Using the Concord & 9th Home for the Holidays Stacks dies, I cut all the tiny houses, trees and elements for the front from CutCardStock Basis Red, Basis Dark Red, Basis Gold, Basis Green, Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, Hygloss Gold Metallic Foil cardstock and Christmas Print 6×6 Cardstock Pad, and then assembled the houses. I adhered a ground layer, the houses, trees and lamp posts to the front of the wallet, and added a stamped sentiment from the Concord & 9th Home for the Holidays stamp set which I cut with a banner die from the same die set. The finishing touch was adding iridescent gemstones in the sky.

I cut layering panels from Stampin’ Up This Christmas Specialty DSP along with narrow embellishing strips from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock and adhered them to the inside of the wallet. I cut a 6-1/8″ x 2-5/8″ card (which I left blank to hand-write a sentiment) that I tucked into one of the pockets.

And one more look… this is such a fun project that I really enjoyed making! If you use my template to create a wallet, I sure would love to see pics!

Owl always love you

Hey everybody! Top of the morning to you! I hope you’re having a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I shared a box card that we sent to our youngest grandson yesterday, so today I’m sharing an another box card that we sent to our youngest granddaughter at the same time. This adorable Owl Box Card is another one from My Scrap Chick and turned out so stinkin’ cute with the little owl peeking out of the hole in the tree! And of course, I lucked out having the perfect stamp set to use!

I cut all the pieces from Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Brown, Basis Light Brown, Basis Green, Basis Black, Basis White, and Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. I used the Stampin’ Up Hardwood background stamp on the tree layering pieces, stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing On The Cake ink.

I assembled the card, stamped the sentiment in black ink using the Taylored Expressions Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp set, and added a few green Dot Sparklers using the Trinity Pick-Up Stick.

Here are a couple more angled shots.

And one more peek… folded flat for mailing. Box cards are just all-around fun, and the fact that they fold flat for mailing is a bonus!

Hi everybody! Wishing you all a terrific Tuesday! Only four more sleeps… and yes, you know what I’m talking about, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve stopped in today to share a T-Rex pop-up card that I created for our youngest grandboy a couple months ago. But first of all, I’m sure you’ve noticed that my blog looks a little different this morning! I love change (which is in direct contradiction to my Libra personality) and have been eyeballing a different WordPress theme for a couple months now and decided that this morning was launch time! I love it because it’s so clean and crisp! Okay, back to this adorable card that I created with a cut file from My Scrap Chick. I know I’ve mentioned before how fun it is assembling 3-D projects and watching them come to life!

I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Teal, Basis Aqua, Basis Orange, Basis Brown, Dolphin, and Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. I had no dinosaur patterned paper so I found the Design Bundles Digital Dinosaur Friends Pattern Pack online which I cut the layering panels from. I assembled the card and added the sentiment from Brutus Monroe Conversation Clippings Prehistoric Party.

Here’s an angled shot.

And one more peek… folded flat for mailing. I absolutely love how this turned out!

12/20/21 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hi everybody! Is it cold where you are?! We’re having a heat wave here this morning – it’s up to 37 degrees from 13 and 22 degrees the last couple mornings, lol! We got a few inches of snow several days ago and some of it is still on the ground, and we sure do love it! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I discovered that I still have a few card samples I created for Prickley Pear Stamps to share using stamp sets in their Sketched Florals line. This pretty waterfall card (only the second one of these I’ve ever made) features the Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set along with their Shadow Words Thank You die which I absolutely love.


I cut the card base and square waterfall panels from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I cut the square stamping panels from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, and stamped the images on the panels from the Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set in black ink. I stamped them again in Versamark and heat embossed with Hero Arts clear embossing powder. This is an old trick I discovered years ago that yields virtually any color of embossing! I colored the images with Karin Brushmarkers- gold, Pale Orange, Olive Green, Curry and Cinnamon, and adhered the panels together. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) and made a file folder tab using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board. I assembled the card, using green glittered brads from my stash and creating a pull-tab using a die in the Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers set. I added white flat-back pearls in the upper left corner to finish the card front.


I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with strips of CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and adhered it to the card back. Using the Shadow Words Thank You die, I cut the sentiment from the gold and black cardstock as well, and adhered it to the white panel.


And one more look at each waterfall panel as they come down. Waterfall cards are so much fun and I can’t believe I’ve only ever made two of these in all the years I’ve been crafting! And the sunflower is my favorite flower, so you can only imagine how much I love this Sketched Florals Sunflower stamp set!

Hello file folder card

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! This week is flying by just as fast as the rest, lol! We’re almost to Friday for all you working folks! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in to share another sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps from their new Jack and Lily Collection! This adorable fun fold (file folder card) features the owners’ grandson, Jack, and was created with the Hello Jack stamp set with coordinating Hello Jack die set! How adorable is he barefoot in his little overalls?!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and turned it into a file folder style card using my We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board and a corner rounder. I cut layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Brights Collection 6×6 paper pad and adhered them to the card base along with two strips of skinny washi tape. I stamped Jack, his clothing and his toy car in black ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock using the Hello Jack stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Hello Jack die set. I adhered them to the card front and stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink.

I cut the inside panel from another coordinating print from the Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Brights Collection 6×6 paper pad and adhered it to the inside of the card base. I cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the patterned paper used on the front and a strip of skinny washi tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Ham Camper Summer stamp set in black ink and adhered it to the inside.

And one more peek… I’m so smitten with these characters and all their clothing and toys! They are so fun to create with!

12/10/21 Winner at Creative Creases Challenge!
12/11/21 Winner at Make the Cards Challenge!

Hi friends! Well, we’ve done it once again – we’re near the end of another year! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #152 – Christmas BINGO! You know me and how much I love fun folds – I made a pretty side fold Christmas card. We have a fun challenge for you this time! Using our Christmas BINGO card below, choose one letter in the word BINGO and use at least three items from that column in your project! This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up/down, left/right and diagonally – you can only up and down using the columns – so let’s have some fun!

I chose column ‘I’ on the BINGO card and used four of the five items (flower, silver, pink and gemstone) in my project.

I used the TCW mini harlequin stencil with Ranger picked raspberry distress ink and a quick spritz of Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist on the background panels cut from Papertrey Ink Hibiscus Burst cardstock which I trimmed and layered on silver foil cardstock. I used my favorite Hero Arts Paper Layering Poinsettia die set to create the poinsettia on the front from American Crafts Rouge Glitter paper and a scrap of GKD Fresh Asparagus cardstock for the leaves. I adhered the poinsettia with Ranger distress collage medium with looped silver thread beneath it and added a silver foil sentiment cut from the Tim Holtz Alterations Holiday Words die set. The finishing touch was the addition of three iridescent gemstones on the narrow panel.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the pink glitter paper and silver foil cardstock along with a leftover strip of stenciled paper used on the front. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Christmas Trees stamp set in picked raspberry distress ink and layered the panel on silver foil cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! There’s nothing like a Christmas card in non-traditional colors!

Merry Christmas Step Card Shaker

11/26/21 Top 3 at Crafty Catz!
12/1/21 Winner at Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog!
12/15/21 Honorable Mention at Christmas Craft Creations!

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! Seems I’m always in Christmas mode so I created a classic step card and added a snowflake shaker element which I filled with our Snowflake Sequins. I used clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish the snowflakes on the front of the shaker.

I used a step card die set to cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock along with layers from CutCardStock Curious Metallic White Silver cardstock and Hot Off The Press Snowfall 6×6 double-sided papers which I adhered to the card base. I built the shaker element with the Hot Off The Press Snowflakes Ornament Chipboard, using the Snowfall patterned paper for the inside and added several additional die cut rings (using two circle dies) cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock to make it just a tad deeper and then filled it with our Snowflake Sequins. I painted the outside rim and edge silver with a Posca Silver paint pen and colored the snowflakes on the front of the shaker with alcohol markers in blue tones, adding clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish them. I adhered a tied snowflake ribbon to the top and added a sentiment stamped in blue ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set to complete the card.

Here are a few more shots of this awesome card.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. I sure do love how this turned out! Shakers are among my all-time favorites!

Hi fun fold

Howdy peeps! I hope your week is off to a great start! I have a kitten update which I’ll keep short: We took our little guy, Fogg, to the vet yesterday where he’ll likely stay for a couple days. The vet feels like overall he has a slightly better chance of survival than his sister (Stormie) had, so all we can do is continue to pray. We sure would appreciate some prayers from you all if you are the praying type. <3 Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have another card to share this morning that I created from the Jack and Lily Collection, which is the newest release over at Prickley Pear Stamps! Isn’t Lily adorable?! The Jack and Lily characters were created in the likeness of the owers’ real-life grandkids. And you know me and fun folds… I can’t get enough of them! I thought this teepee card showcased Lily perfectly with the pastel colors!

I cut the teepee card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with layering panels from Papertrey Ink Green Parakeet cardstock and My Favorite Things Sweet Celebration and Hot Off The Press Sweet Pea patterned papers. I assembled the card base, adhered the cardstock and patterned paper layers, and added a magnet closure. Using the Hello Lily stamp set, I stamped Lily and her clothing and other elements on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers (and added Ranger Glossy Accents to her rain boots), and cut them with the coordinating Hello Lily die set. I created a rosette with the Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Paper Rosettes die and stamped the Hi sentiment on the center circle. I created the birthday sentiment on the computer and printed it on white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the back panel. I adhered Lily to a plain die cut and then adhered her and the rosette to the front of the card. I added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Andradite Sparkle Embellishment Mix and Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick-Up Stick to complete the card.

Here’s one more look at the card folded flat for mailing. I so love how this turned out! I can only imagine how adorable this child is in real life!

Wish Big

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend. We are having issues with our two latest 10-week-old kitten rescues – we lost our baby girl night before last and then last night our baby boy stopped eating/drinking and started wheezing. We’re praying that it’s just a respiratory thing that will go away with an antibiotic. I typically don’t post sad stuff but I am having a really hard time with this. If you are the praying type, we’d appreciate some prayers for our little guy now. Please and thank you. <3 Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in to share another sample I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps new release called the Jack and Lily Collection which was created after the owners’ grandkids. I used the Hello Lily stamp set and coordinating Hello Lily die set to create this adorable birthday card in a fun file folder style. File folder cards are super easy to create with a WRMK Envelope Punch Board, Fiskars 12″ SureCut Paper Trimmer and a corner rounder.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a layering panel and embellishing strip cut from patterned paper which I layered together. I added two strips of washi tape for a little interest and then adhered the patterned paper panel to the card base. I stamped Lily and her clothing and other elements from the Hello Lily stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers (and added Ranger Glossy Accents to her rain boots), and cut them with the coordinating Hello Lily die set. I adhered them to the card front along with a die cut sentiment from CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments. The final touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick-Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from the patterned paper and adhered it to the inside of the card base. I cut a panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a coordinating patterned paper strip and two strips of washi tape, and adhered it to the card base. The final touch was adding a STAMPlorations Happy Happy Clear Sticker for the sentiment.

And one more look… really loving how this turned out! There’s nothing more fun than these adorable images on a file folder style card!

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! I created a super fun Envelope Box Card featuring our Bumble Bee Brads and Pink Jewel Bling! I love my Scan N Cut and I always cut several projects when I take it out of the cabinet for a crafty session, and this card was one from the latest batch. I really enjoyed this!

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, and the rest of the pieces from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock and Colorbok Seeing Dots cardstock. Then the fun began of assembling the card! I added the sentiment using die cut letters and some Pink Jewel Bling. I added several Bumble Bee Brads and then added more Pink Jewel Bling to the flowers.

Here’s a shot from another angle.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I can’t say enough about all the fun products at Eyelet Outlet! They really bring a project to life!
