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!
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.
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!

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!

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 hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and you’ll play Christmas BINGO with us this month! We can’t wait to see what you create! Thanks so much for stopping by – we’ll see you again soon! ;)

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.

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!

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 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!

Happy Hump Day, y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I’m thrilled to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring red, white and green cardstock which is all on sale this month so be sure to stock up for your holiday crafting! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have one of the easiest card designs ever to share with you today using Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock, Basis Red cardstock, Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, Basis Green cardstock and Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock! While I used a die set with a different name for this design team project, I found handwritten measurements for an ‘open box card’ (with angled sides) in my tutorial arsenal and typed up a tutorial that I’ll share. The only differences between the die set and my handwritten instructions are the shape and the width of the box layer strips. And, of course, the sky is the limit with regard to occasion, embellishments and sentiments. ;)
I die cut the card base and box layer strips from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock and assembled the card. This is where the lightbulb came on… this assembled piece looked familiar so I sat down with my tutorial files (about 6″ worth) and looked through most of the files until I found measurements I had written down (who knows how long ago) for the open box card. If you’re interested, I’ve added the open box card tutorial HERE. Bear in mind that the box layer strips on this project using the die set are slightly narrower but achieve the same result, and the shape is different. I die cut the three poinsettia flowers from Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock, the poinsettia leaves from Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, the greenery and berries from Basis Red cardstock and Basis Green cardstock, and the flower centers from Basis Gold cardstock. I assembled the poinsettias and set them aside. I die cut the sentiment from Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock and again from Basis Green cardstock and layered them together with just a tad bit of the dark green showing beneath the red. I stamped the sentiment in green ink on a Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock scrap and die cut it with a stitched rectangle die, and layered it on a slightly larger stitched rectangle die cut from Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. I adhered one of the poinsettias on the top of the sentiment and adhered the piece to the left side, the second poinsettia to the right side and the third poinsettia in the middle.
Here is a shot from overhead so you can see the construction (which, as mentioned above, is the same as the typical box card but with an open front), and another shot of the card folded flat for mailing in a standard A2 size envelope.
And a few more peeks of the finished project… so loving how this turned out! Let me know if you end up making an open box card using my measurements! This is definitely a fun one! I’ve made several over the years but didn’t use any of them as design team projects so they didn’t get posted on my blog. This design makes beautiful sympathy, birthday, anniversary, and of course Christmas cards!

Hi friends! A very Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you’re having an awesome day! It has been a beautiful one here! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m back with another card to share that I created for the new release over at Prickley Pear Stamps! I mentioned a few days ago that the owners’ son and daughter-in-law have kids named Jack and Lily, and the new Jack and Lily Collection is all about them! I created an adorable friendship card featuring the Hello Jack stamp set with coordinating Hello Jack die set! This card is a side fold (you know how love fun folds), and I did something with this stamped image that I’ve never done before… I scored the flat two-dimensional image and creased his legs so he could sit on a brick wall! LOL, I absolutely love how this turned out!
I cut the side fold card base from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Basis Gray cardstock and coordinating papers from Crafter’s Companion Just For Men Urban Collection. I adhered the panels together and adhered them to the card base, added some twine tied in a bow, and then fashioned the sitting part of the brick wall.
Using the Hello Jack stamp set, I stamped Jack, his clothing and toy airplane on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating Hello Jack die set. I scored Jack’s legs in two places, folded on the score lines, and adhered him to the card front sitting on the brick wall. I adhered his toy airplane and stamped the sentiment to complete the card front.
