Happy Birthday shaker

Howdy peeps, happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles. I also used papers, stamps and dies from our Happy Birthday collection and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line to make this super cute birthday shaker! I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

Our new nested stitched scallop dies are large, so I pulled out my oversized die cutting machine and cut a large scallop square (from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares) from Solar White cardstock, scored it, and folded it in half. I grabbed a scallop rectangle die from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles and cut two from coordinating prints in the Happy Birthday collection. I cut a rectangular aperture in the yellow one with a Back To Basics Nested Stitched Rectangles Die and made a shaker.

I used acetate and foam strips from our Back To Basics line along with Polymer Clay Mini Pastel Confetti, Polymer Clay Rainbow Mix Hollow Circles, Sequins Arctic Hearts, and 2mm Beads Pearls for the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Happy Birthday Collection Stamps, colored the images with a variety of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and the same yellow print used on the front, and added stamped and die cut sentiments and an image colored with markers. Such a fun card to make!

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a Terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in to share one more booth sample I created for Keep It Simple. I’ve made several shaped cards and a fun fold featuring some of our older die sets used with some of our newer collections, and posted the other four a few days ago, pointing everyone to the KIS Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March.

So this last sample is a shaker (who doesn’t love shaker cards?!) and it features our KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies along with papers and die cut pieces from the Life Is Sweet collection. Today is the last day of National Craft Month and this card, along with several other shaker projects my fellow DT members made, is being used in the shaker Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram. Be sure to check it out – there’s a whole lotta fun in all of our shaker projects!

I cut the card base from 110# Solar White along with all the other pieces for this shaped shaker card from assorted prints in the Life Is Sweet 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. I grabbed some die cuts from the Life Is Sweet Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. To create the shaker, I used acetate from our Shaker Basics line, foam strips from our Adhesive Basics line, and a variety of Sprinkles for the shaker mix.

I embellished the inside with a couple more pieces cut with the Freshly Brewed dies a couple more die cut pieces. So stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it! LOVE how this turned out!

Hey everybody, happy Monday! Everybody hates Mondays and it’s the LAST one you’ll have to wake up to go to work on this year! I’m thrilled to share this particular project for Keep It Simple because it features TWO really fun elements. There’s a shaker tag on the front and a pop-up gift bag on the inside! Yep, a gift bag that holds a gift card (or cash or even a small folded card)! It’s been 5-1/2 years since I made one of these (post is HERE if you want to see it) and I added a closure to this gift bag which I didn’t do on the last one. But how cute is this?! I used papers, stamps and die cut pieces from our Cheerful Cottage collection (LOVE!), along with our Shaker Tag Dies and papers from our Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Pack.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Natural White Recycled cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Cheerful Cottage and Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Packs. To make the tag for the front, I used our KIS Cuts Tags #1 and Cheerful Cottage papers and die cut pieces, along with Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips, Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Sheets and Back To Basics Mango Ribbon (tied with Lawn Fawn white hemp twine). I used Sprinkles (Rivers Edge Metallic Crush and Yellow Caviar Glass Beads) and a few die cut pieces for the shaker bits.

I used faux stitching and sentiment stamps from the Cheerful Cottage collection, a sentiment border from the bonus cut-apart sheet, and a Back To Basics Epoxy Circle on the front. I totally love shakers and this tag shaker is really fun!

I fashioned the pop-up gift bag on the inside from a floral print in the Cheerful Cottage collection, using Lawn Fawn white hemp twine for the handles, and embellished the magnet closure with a Crafty Girls button. I stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set in brown ink and embellished the panel with a button die cut piece, and this completed the inside.

I totally LOVE how this turned out! Now you can see why I was so excited to share this card with you!

Snow Much Fun shaker

Howdy peeps! I hope my friends in the States had a beautiful Thanksgiving; otherwise, wishing a great weekend ahead for everybody! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Winter/Christmas-themed snowglobe shaker card in non-traditional pastel colors. The Scrapbook Adhesives design team was invited to collaborate with Trinity Stamps. How fun is that?! I used some of their dies and stamps, and of course, lots of amazing Scrapbook Adhesives products to put it all together!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to check out my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if want to see how I made this fun card. The 5-1/4″ square base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with patterned papers from the My Favorite Things cheerful Plaid and Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pads. I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card die set and Sledding Fun stamp set, and my shaker bits are iridescent snowflakes from Eyelet Outlet.

I brought this card to life by using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips, E-Z Dots, 3D Foam Strips, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Circles, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Metallic Pastel Colors Transfer Foil Sheets – all from Scrapbook Adhesives. The finishing touch was adding some embellishments to the sentiment strip that I created using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of the pastel plaid used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock.

Hey everybody, happy Monday! – I hope you had a good weekend! We thought we were going to get some snow but it never happened. It’s been nice and chilly, though… just how we like it! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today – a shaker card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new Barnyard Bliss collection, along with our Shaker Frames A2 Frames #2, some of our foam, acetate and adhesive squares, and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line! Y’all, this is one of THE cutest collections ever!

I cut a side-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with layering panels and a shaker frame from coordinating prints from the Barnyard Bliss collection. Of course, I used foam and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics which I filled with Snow White Fine Crushed Glass, Dandelion Hearts Sequins and Matte Dark Orange 2mm Beads from our Sprinkles line. I also threw in some small die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection and used a couple to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a couple more Barnyard Bliss die cut pieces, popping the heart up on a foam square from our Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips.

hello sweet friend

Hey everybody, Happy Weekend! I hope you’re doing something fun and having some awesome Spring weather! Our weather this time of year is glorious… still a tad chilly overnight (but not bad) and warm and sunny during the day! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This pretty shaker card features our KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #7 which was released in February along with our Rainbow Builder dies and sentiment stamps. And of course, I just HAD to use a variety of our papers in all the rainbow colors and our 2mm and 3mm Sprinkles pearls! I sure do love me a shaker card, and I totally feel like this one would cheer up a friend!

I cut a top-folding card base and shaker frame (using the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #7) from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I pulled out the new Back to Basics Black & White 6×9 Collection Pack and cut the frame again so I could use the outer scalloped portion. Then the fun began… cutting the frame seven more times from papers in our Back To Basics Ruby, Mango, Lemon, Jade, Royal, Lilac and Rose 12×12 Collection Packs. This gave me lots of leftover pieces to build more rainbows!

I created the shaker with a panel of acetate and narrow strips of foam using our Back To Basics Shaker Basics-Foam Adhesive & Acetate Sheets, then filled it with our 2mm and 3mm Sprinkles Pearls. I stamped a sentiment from our Sunshine & Rainbows Sentiment Stamps in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink and cut it with a Back To Basics Stitched Oval Nested Die.

I grabbed the outer portion of the frame that I had cut previously from the Back To Basics Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack to use as the base of the inside panel. I added a rectangle cut from 80# Solar White using a Stitched Rectangle Nested Die and stamped an additional sentiment from the Sunshine & Rainbows Sentiment Stamps in the gray ink. Love, love, love!

Jelly Bean Shaker

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! Are you gearing up for Easter – making any fun Easter crafts or planning to travel? We have no special plans (other than rejoicing in His resurrection) and I’ve made a few more whimsical Easter-themed cards that I’ll be sharing. This super cute jelly bean shaker that I created for Brutus Monroe features our amazing Jelly Bean stencil, Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze, Hip Hop Hooray stamps and chipboard, and our Occasional Greetings stamps. I also used a pre-scored card base and a variety of our cardstock to make the striped background. So much fun contained in one card, lol!

I started by creating an acetate panel of pink jelly beans using our Jelly Bean Mixed Media Stencil with Pink Flamingo Velveteen Glaze, a spatula and Deco Foil Stencil Pal on my 12″ Ranger-Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion. I let this dry overnight and then trimmed it to fit behind a frame cut from our Not Your Mamas cardstock using two Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies. Next, I added a variety of different width strips of our Sea, Poison Apple, Aubergine and Rouge cardstock to a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock using an adhesive sheet, trimmed it down for the background panel, and adhered it to the front of a pre-scored card base.

The next step was adding the shaker mix created with several varieties of Keep It Simple Sprinkles. I always tend to over-stuff my shakers but I did a pretty good job on this one… leaving enough room to shake, shake, shake! I used the Hip Hop Hooray stamps and chipboard companion along with our Raven ink to create the adorable row of bunnies on the front which I colored with a variety of markers and attached with thin adhesive foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock and embellished it with another frame cut from Sea cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Occasional Greetings stamp set in Raven ink, which completed the card. I totally love how this turned out!

Hello Pumpkin

Hey everybody, happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a nice relaxed weekend after taking our Loki to the vet Friday morning with a digestive issue. Knowing he’s on the mend and feeling so much better is a huge relief. We sure do love our feline (and canine) kids and hate seeing them sick. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring one of our new Shaker Frames that were released in September. I used the A2 Shaker Frame #6 along with papers from the Autumn Charm collection and stamps from our Bizzy Hands Fall Gnome and Farmhouse Fall stamp sets. As much as I love me some gnomes, it’s hard to believe I used the Fall Gnome stamp set without the gnome, but yes I did. LOL! This card just needed the pumpkins!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and rounded the corners. I die cut the frame components from prints in the Autumn Charm 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #6. I used acetate and 2mm foam from the Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Pack with five varieties of Sprinkles to make up the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Bizzy Hands Fall Gnome stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored the images with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Basis Natural as well and embellished it with a leftover strip of paper from the Farmhouse Fall Collection Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Farmhouse Fall stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panel on another print from the Collection Pack.

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today, created with our new KIS Cuts Pumpkin dies. This is THE most fun set of dies – I created a shaped card with a shaker in the middle portion, and I think it turned out so cute! Shaped cards are always a hit and the shaker portion just adds to the Fun Factor!

Using the KIS Cuts Pumpkin dies, I cut the pumpkin layers and leaves from coordinating prints in the Farmhouse Fall 6×9 Collection and Cardstock Packs, along with the card base, vine and stem from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock. I created a shaker in the center portion of the pumpkin using Polymer Clay Coffee Sprinkles, Polymer Clay Light Brown Pumpkins, 2mm Matte Orange Beads, and 2mm Caviar Glass Fall Change beads (all from the Sprinkles line). The Fall Change Caviar Glass beads haven’t hit the store yet, so stay tuned for those. I added a sentiment (from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments stamp set) stamped in Catherine Pooler Hot Tube ink which I fussy cut. The finishing touch on the front was adding a gold cord bow.

Using the same dies, I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap piece of the plaid paper used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the same Thank You Sentiments stamp set in the Hot Tub ink, fussy cut it and added it to the inside.

Freshly Brewed shaker cards

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share. You may remember that our new Shaker Kits debuted on the website back in early August. And as you know, this past Saturday was World Card Making Day and our design team organized a Facebook Live craft-along to demonstrate the assembly of our Life Is Sweet and Freshly Brewed kits. Barry and Maureen were phenomenal on the videos which you can watch HERE and HERE! Several weeks ago I shared two cards I made using the Life Is Sweet kit, and today I’m sharing the cards I made using the Freshly Brewed kit. These kits are fantastic because everything you need to create the cards is included except the adhesive. How cool is that?!

The card bases, adhesive foam, acetate, frames, ephemera, and shaker bits are all included in the kit. As with the other cards, I made mine a little different than the samples on the package. I totally love shaking things up! Here is my first card.

And here is my second card. I cut the cup sleeve on this one from a patterned paper in the Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack using the sleeve die in the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. It’s very cool that the dies are the same size and work with the items in this kit!
