Joy To The World

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! Are you ready for the big man in the red suit? He’ll be here in a week’s time whether you’re ready or not, lol! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fold out panel card featuring Solar White cardstock, our Lessebo Dawn Maroon and Stardream Metallic Aquamarine. I absolutely love a red and aqua color combo, and this turned out great. It’s been many years since I made this fun fold and I’m so glad I found my instructions. Now to decipher my handwriting. Bahahaha! Just kidding… I think I have this handled! :P

The fold out panel was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, the flat card base and smaller front panel were cut from Lessebo Dawn Maroon, and the larger front panel was cut from Stardream Metallic Aquamarine cardstock. I used coordinating prints from my Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad from The Paper Studio. It’s a thick one and I’ve been using it for a number of years now and still have more than half of it left, lol! It’s one of my absolute favorites! I used the Love From Lizi Ornate Oval dies for the focal on the front along with the Cottage Cutz Mittens die for an inside embellishment. The sentiment stamp is also from Love From Lizi.

I cut the back panel from Solar White as well, and embellished it with paper and cardstock strips used on the front. And this sentiment stamp is from the same Love From Lizi stamp set. I embellished the mittens and back panel with Stampendous red Dot Sparklers. Fun, fun, fun… and now that I’ve found the instructions for this card, I’m sure you’ll see it again! And be sure to visit the CutCardStock blog to see my tutorial if you’d like more detail.

A Happy Hello #2

Hey everybody – happy Tuesday! Remember the sea-themed quilt card I shared last week? You may remember that I mentioned I cut enough ‘quilt squares’ to make a second card, and here it is! Very much like the first one (HERE) but with different patterned papers and a different inside sentiment. I’m not sure which one I like better… but I’d love it if you tell me which one you’re more partial to in the comments! It’s funny because I look at this one with the gold fleck paper and think this is the one, and then I look at the other one again and change my other mind. HA, good grief!

I cut a 5-1/4″ square side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Patriot Blue cardstock. Using one of the smaller dies in the Love From Lizi Stitched Stitched Square Nested Cutting Dies, I cut squares from Solar White cardstock and assorted prints in the Under The Sea paper pack. Several of those were cut in half diagonally and then adhered to a square piece of copy paper in a star pattern. I then ran the piece through my Big Shot with a WRMK Geometric embossing folder to give it more of a quilted look.

I cut a tag from Solar White cardstock using a Keep It Simple KIS Cuts Tags #1 Die and then stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Under The Sea Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I adhered this to the center of the quilted star and added a resin starfish embellishment from the Under The Sea kit along with a piece of Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine tied in a bow, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with a strip of paper from the Under The Sea kit used on the front. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Under The Sea Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and layered the panel on the Patriot Blue cardstock. The final touch was adding an Under The Sea shell die cut.

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a most excellent weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a shaped snowglobe card that I created for the Scrapbook Adhesives collaboration with Trinity Stamps. I used the super cute Snowglobe Card Die Set and North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set along with some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together! I LOVE shaped cards and I totally love how this turned out!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog to see my tutorial if you want to see how I made this. As mentioned above, I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card Die Set along with Solar White cardstock (in both 110# and 80# weights) for the entire card, coloring the snowglobe base, cabin, and trees with a variety of markers. You can’t see it too well in the photos but I used Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist over the background for a little snowy shimmer.

The lil’ gnome dude and sentiment on the base are from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black, and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Eucalyptus inks. And I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using small circles from our 3D Foam Christmas Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. So fun!

The inside sentiment is another one from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Hey y’all, a very happy Saturday to you! Wishing you an awesome weekend! I was looking in my unfiled stamp stash for something and came across four (yes, FOUR!) Art Impressions Matchbook stamp and die sets that I haven’t made yet! Can you believe it?! So, of course, I had to sit down right then and make one! Never mind what I originally was looking for… at that point I couldn’t even remember and I still don’t remember! Bahahaha – does that ever happen to you?! So this one is the Salon Matchbook and I’m not sure who I’ll give it to but that sentiment is a hoot!

I had three coordinating pieces of Chantalia Designs Delicate Flowers digital paper that I printed over a year ago still hanging out on my desk (not sure how they didn’t get lost in our move) so I used two of them. I cut the base and envelope from the plaid using the Matchbook Die Template and the Matchbook Envelope Die along with a tiny piece of the coordinating small floral for the scalloped top.

Using the Art Impressions Salon Matchbook and Wall Accessories stamps, I stamped all of the elements needed for the little scene in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Solar White cardstock. I colored them with alcohol markers (and a few others) and then put the sheet back into the mini MISTI and stamped again in Versafine Onyx Black ink to get good crisp lines. I cut them with the coordinating Salon Matchbook and Wall Accessories Dies and assembled it. These are SO stinkin’ fun!

Here are a few additional shots from different angles. Love, love, love how this turned out! Stay tuned for three more from this Art Impressions line coming your way – I won’t spoil the surprise by telling you what the themes are… you’ll just have to be surprised!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! It’s amazing how fast the weeks in this last month of the year are rolling by! I’m stoked to be back with another super cute and festive project for Keep It Simple! I created a diamond panel card featuring our KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies, along with papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from our Here Comes Santa Claus collection… one of my favorites. Keep It Simple actually has SEVERAL absolutely adorable Christmas collections, and if you haven’t already, you might want to check them out!

This is a super easy design that is very customizable. It’s as simple as cutting some off the front flap and cutting three squares (turned into diamonds) from that strip. Easy peasy! I cut layering panels from assorted papers in the Here Comes Santa Claus Collection Pack and embellished the squares (diamonds) with die cuts made using KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies. The center diamond is popped up on one of our Adhesive Basics foam squares. I added a few of our Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots and the front was finished.

I stamped the inside sentiment (from the Here Comes Santa Claus collection) in Memento Bamboo Leaves ink on a scrap of white cardstock and cut it with the coordinating outline dies. I grabbed a couple stars from the Die Cut Pieces pack and the inside was finished. I told you it was an easy one!

A Happy Hello #1

12/13/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Howdy, friends – happy Thursday! I hope you’re having some decent weather where you are and looking forward to something fun this weekend! I am completely caught up with my design team work and have had a little extra time to create some random projects which I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks between my scheduled DT posts. I plan to start entering challenges again (it’s been about 1-1/2 years since I last entered one) now that I have a little more time, which I’m excited about.

This sea-themed quilt card features papers, stamps, die cut pieces and embellishments from the Love From Lizi Under The Sea kit which was released while I was still on her design team. They inadvertently sent my DT package to our old address after we moved so I wasn’t able to create my scheduled DT projects with it. Long story short, I ended up purchasing the entire kit myself after the fact and I’ve been anxious to create with it because it contains some really pretty things!

I cut a 5-1/4″ square side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Patriot Blue cardstock. Using one of the smaller dies in the Love From Lizi Stitched Stitched Square Nested Cutting Dies, I cut squares from Solar White cardstock and assorted prints in the Under The Sea paper pack. Several of those were cut in half diagonally and then adhered to a square piece of copy paper in a star pattern. I then ran the piece through my Big Shot with a WRMK Geometric embossing folder to give it more of a quilted look.

I cut a tag from Solar White cardstock using a Keep It Simple KIS Cuts Tags #1 Die and then stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Under The Sea Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I adhered this to the center of the quilted star and added a resin starfish embellishment from the Under The Sea kit along with a piece of Lawn Fawn White Hemp Twine tied in a bow, which completed the card front. I actually cut enough pieces from additional prints in the paper pack to make a second card which I will share soon, so stay tuned!

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with a strip of paper from the Under The Sea kit used on the front. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Under The Sea Stamp Set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and layered the panel on the Patriot Blue cardstock. The final touch was adding an Under The Sea shell die cut.

Assorted Christmas Cards

Hi friends – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m popping in today with an assortment of Christmas cards that we sent out this year. After moving in May, I still have boxes (and more boxes, lol) of cards stored in a closet, and didn’t really want to go through them to decide which ones to send to which person or family. That daunting task is looming overhead anyway because I will be donating most (or all) of them… hopefully by this summer.

I typically set different ones aside as I make them throughout the year to save for certain people on my list, but I didn’t do that this year. I ended up making a large batch of a simple whimsical deer design that worked up pretty quickly doing the assembly line thing (lol) with some of my favorite STAMPlorations stamps and dies.

Baby’s 1st Christmas

12/13/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a good one! I’m delighted to share a festive Baby’s 1st Christmas card for Keep It Simple which features our KIS Cuts Baby Romper Card Dies and Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I also used the KIS Cuts Ford Font Double Cut Dies, Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies, KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies and KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die. Whew… LOTS of dies! I totally love shaped cards and thoroughly enjoyed making this.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with all the romper layers from assorted prints in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I used a few of our small Adhesive Basics foam squares to add a little dimension to the crotch flap. I used the KIS Cuts Ford Font Double Cut Dies for the sentiment on the front.

I used the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies and KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies for the sentiment and panel on the inside. Then, I added a gift card pocket on the back using the KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die. This was definitely a fun one to put together!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Can you believe it’s the first Friday of the last month of the year?! Just like the last several, this year has flown by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #110. This is my last post as a Creative Creases designer and I sure have enjoyed myself this year! I love the Match Book line over at Art Impressions and have quite a few of them. Believe it or not, I still have a few in my stash that I haven’t made AND there are some fairly new ones on the Ai website that I haven’t added to my stash yet. I’m such a sucker for gnomes and really had fun with this one!

Using the Art Impressions Match Book Template dies, I cut the base from Waffle Flower Gingham paper. I stamped all the components in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using the Art Impressions Gnome Home Match Book stamps. I colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the included dies.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun and it was very rewarding seeing this adorable little scene come together! Here are some angled shots along with one showing the teeny tiny envelope (cut with the Art Impressions Match Book Envelope dies).

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week and you’re embracing December… it sure got here fast! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an A2 side-folding Winter-themed card featuring a Solar White pre-folded card base, double thick Solar White cardstock, our Lessebo Moss Green, Silver Glitter, and Bright Foil cardstock. OMGoodness, this turned out so pretty… it’s simple but sure packs a punch!

I used a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base and added a panel of Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Using the Birch Press Design Mini Snowflake Dies, I cut the bottom layer from 165# Solar White for stability, the middle layer from CCS Silver Glitter, and the top layer from Bright Silver Foil. Prior to adhering the layers together, I spritzed the thick bottom layer in Brutus Monroe Noble Fir Chroma Mist for a little interest. I stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Hello Winter stamp set in Brutus Monroe Alabaster White ink and added several tiny gray gemstones, which completed the card front.

I cut one extra partial snowflake from the silver glitter cardstock to use in the corner of the inside white panel. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in Memento Olive Grove ink and layered the panel on the Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want more detailed instructions.
