4/2/22 Winner at Pinkfresh Studio Monthly Challenges!
4/14/22 Winner at Creative Moments!

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week is off to a great start! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! We’ve had a busy day today dropping off our two youngest feline fur babies to get fixed (yay, the last two to get fixed!), then heading in the opposite direction to pick up a big ol’ bag of prescriptions (LOL), and then driving back to get the fur babies. We just got home and we’re whipped. Bahahaha! We love living in a rural area but the downside is we have good distances to drive no matter what we need to do. Anyhoo, I’ve popped in this afternoon with a pretty floral friendship card I created to enter into the March 2022 Challenge – Frame It Up over at Pinkfresh Studio using their Just a Hello Floral stamps and dies. My friend Christi (the enabler) used these stamps and dies on a card several weeks ago and I fell in love with them, so I had to get them!

The Pinkfresh Studio challenge is all about frames and there is some gorgeous color inspiration as well! I used all the colors and created a glitter oval frame for my design.

I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock and an oval frame from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Black Prince cardstock which I adhered onto three additional frames for dimension and then to the card base. Using the Pinkfresh Studio Just a Hello Floral stamp set, I stamped the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in black ink and then again in Versamark, and heat set them with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. I colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Just a Hello Floral die set, and then layered each on an additional die cut for stability. I stamped the front and inside sentiments (from the same stamp set) in black ink and then again in Versamark, and heat set them with clear embossing powder also. I adhered the florals to the top and bottom of the oval frame and the sentiment in the center. I finished the front with three gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Melanite Magic Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the CutCardStock Silk Glitter Black Prince cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock. I adhered the stamped, embossed and die cut sentiment to the panel and layered the panel on teal cardstock.

And one more peek… really loving how this turned out! Such gorgeous stamps and dies, and I’m so happy I found the Pinkfresh challenge!

3/31/22 DT Favorite Winner at classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody – Happy Monday! Have some good news… our last two un-fixed feline kids (little girl Flutterby and little boy Fogg) are going to the vet tomorrow to get fixed, and then all 18 are done! Whew! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve stopped in this morning to share an awesome Tape Runner DT inspiration project. This pretty encouragement card features the In The Meadow Washi Tape and Dies from PinkFresh Studio along with the Yvonne Creations Trellis Frame die, and all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. This is another card that I donated to Cards for Cubs. ;)

As mentioned above, all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. Wet glue was used only to adhere the trellis die cut and narrow sentiment strip. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and the trellis die cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, and adhered the die cut to the card front. I applied the PinkFresh Studio In The Meadow washi tape to a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock (heavyweight for stability) and then cut the florals with the coordinating PinkFresh Studio In The Meadow die set. I adhered the largest cluster to the top of the trellis die cut. I had already used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Gold Foil and Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set to create a variety of sentiments on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock. I chose the sentiment from the bunch that I wanted to use on this card and adhered it toward the bottom of the card front. The finishing touch was adding tiny dots of Ranger Glossy Accents to the berries on the cluster.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with some small leaves created with the PinkFresh In The Meadow Washi Tape and cut with the coordinating die. I layered the panel on CutCardStock Amaranth cardstock which completed the card.

And here’s one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I love knowing how secure the panels are when adhering them with Tape Runner!

HAPPY fall for Prickley Pear Stamps

Hey everybody! Hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a gorgeous Fall card to share with you today to warm you up just in case your weather is still a bit chilly! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I created this pretty acetate front card for Prickley Pear Stamps this past Fall which is a direct CASE of a Fall card I made for another design team using the same leaf stamps and dies but different cardstock, embellishments and border die. Prickley Pear’s owner saw the other card and requested a sample, so I got busy! This card features the Fall Leaves stamp set with coordinating Leaf die set along with the Stitched Scallop Border die set. The main differences on this card are ivory cardstock and gemstones, whereas the original card was created with white cardstock and had wood heart embellishments. The scalloped border dies look basically the same and would be very difficult to tell one brand from the other, but the angle on this card is slightly different.

I cut a standard A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock. I cut a section out of the front flap of the card base with a die from the Stitched Scallop Border die set, adhered the acetate to the back side of the flap, and adhered the bottom portion of the front flap to the front of the acetate. I stamped the front and inside sentiments in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Fall Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating Leaf Die Set, I stamped several sets of leaves in brown ink and die cut them, keeping the leaves in the negative spaces by putting small strips of washi tape on the back side of the cardstock. I inked the die cuts with carved pumpkin, fired brick, forest moss, walnut stain distress inks, and once dry, I removed the washi tape from the back side of the cardstock and removed the die cuts. I adhered the die cuts randomly to the inside of the card base being sure to cover all areas visible through the acetate. I adhered several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick Up Stick.

Here’s a shot of the inside panel with all the die cuts in place.

And one more look with the card closed. Such a pretty design that was fairly labor-intensive but definitely worth the time it took to assemble! LOVE this stamp set and coordinating dies!

A little birdie told me

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 cute birthday card featuring our Female Cardinal Brads, Bluebird & Robin Brads and Mini Butterfly Brads! I cut the cherry blossoms (from SVG Cuts) on my Scan N Cut and they fit perfectly on this mini slimline card with very little edge trimming needing to be done.

I started by cutting the cherry blossom pieces from CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Cotton Candy cardstock and CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock, and assembling it. I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a pink textured layering panel from the Core’dinations Vintage Collection 6×6 cardstock pad. I adhered the cherry blossoms to the textured layering panel and stamped the sentiment in brown ink in the lower left corner. I added the Female Cardinal Brads, a Bluebird & Robin Brad and a Mini Butterfly Brad, and adhered the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped the sentiment in brown ink and layered the panel on the Core’dinations textured cardstock used on the front.

And one more look… I really love these brads and I’m so happy with how this card turned out!

Metallic & Suede Fringe Earrings

3/28/22 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
4/4/22 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!

Hey, everybody! Happy Friday! What you got goin’ on this weekend… anything fun?! Lol, you know where I’ll be (wink-wink)! 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 CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Curious Metallic cardstock on sale this month! Have you ever even considered making earrings out of cardstock?! I created another couple pairs of fringe earrings – one pair is made entirely from Curious Metallic cardstock and embellished with tiny clear gemstones, and the other pair has Curious Metallic cardstock elements but is made primarily from craft leather and embellished with Nuvo Bottle Green Crystal Drops. These were so much fun!

This first pair is made entirely of cardstock. I die cut the pieces for each earring from Curious Metallic White Silver, Curious Metallic Violette and Curious Metallic Night. I assembled them with Bearly Art precision craft glue, affixed the earring wires and rings, and then adhered tiny clear gemstones.

This second pair has Curious Metallic cardstock elements but is made primarily from craft leather. I die cut two of the pieces for each earring from Curious Metallic Chestnut and Curious Metallic Aloe, and the fringe pieces from brown and green craft leather. I assembled them with Bearly Art precision craft glue, affixed the earring wires and rings, and then applied tiny dots of Bottle Green Crystal Drops.

And one more peek of each pair… super happy with how these turned out! Not sure whether I want to gift them or keep them! ;)

Howdy, peeps! Happy St. Patty’s Day to ya! The weekend is almost here and I hope you have something fun planned! Our weather is starting to warm up and it’s just beautiful outdoors! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m back this morning to share another sample I created a while back for Prickley Pear Stamps – a fun Halloween card with a coffin that opens up to reveal shaker elements and die cut bones inside! Bahahaha… I had THE best time creating this! This card features our Dancing Skeleton stamp set and coordinating Dancing Skeleton die set along with the inside sentiment from our Bats 2 stamp set.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock along with a wood-look layering panel from My Mind’s Eye Howdy Doody paper pad which I adhered to the card base. I added a light brown cardstock strip down the left side of the card front that I embellished with a strip of Eyelet Outlet gold film strip washi tape and clear bling colored with a brown alcohol marker. Using the Dancing Skeleton stamp set, a piece of acetate, and several double-sided adhesive foam strips, I created a 3-D coffin shaker which I embellished with some paper flowers. I stamped the RIP sentiment (from the same stamp set) in the lower right corner prior to adhering the coffin to the front of the card.

Here’s a shot of the open coffin revealing bones die cut from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Dancing Skeleton die set. The shaker filler consists of spider confetti from stash, Pretty Pink Posh Silver Shimmer Seed Beads, Spiegelmom Scraps Snowy Fields Sequin Mix, and Doodlebug Design Orange Sequins. I added homemade hinges and a small magnet closure.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the wood-look paper used on the front as well as a narrow strip of CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Bats 2 stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panel on light brown cardstock.

And one more look… so so so happy with how this turned out! These stamp sets (and dies) are amazing and create some of the most fun cards!

You’ve Got This

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day, and a happy day it is! Our weather is starting to warm up a bit and it’s just gorgeous here! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m tickled pink to share that I’m guesting for Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog this fortnight! I scored a top pick honor over there in January so I was invited to be a guest designer for Challenge #517 – Anything Goes with Paper. The sponsors are LeAnn’s World 101 and Pattie’s Creations, and I was given a choice of images to design with and I chose the adorable Briannah digital image from LeAnn’s World. Isn’t she a doll?! This was a fun little scene to put together – from the brick wall to the hardwood floor!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# white cardstock along with a slightly smaller layering panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# white cardstock which I covered with Eyelet Outlet Brick Wall and Wood washi tape. Using the Stampin’ Up Extra Large Oval punch, I punched an oval and stamped a tone-on-tone design on it in Ranger spun sugar distress ink with the Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card Canvas background stamp. I then punched a scalloped oval with the Marvy Uchida Scalloped Oval punch and DTP-inked the edges with the spun sugar distress ink. I adhered the two punched elements together to create the rug and adhered it to the card front. I then adhered the Briannah digital image which I colored with alcohol markers and cut with my Scan N Cut. I hand-drew a floor lamp, colored it with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it. I adhered it to the card front and added a pull-chain (with a gold pen) and some bling on the lamp shade. I also added a stamped, colored and die cut picture to the wall created with the Art Impressions Matchbook Wall Accessories stamp set. I stamped the sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set on a scrap piece of white cardstock in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card front.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# white cardstock and embellished it with a strip of CutCardStock Basis Pink cardstock and layered it on the pink cardstock. I will be donating this card to the Cards for Cubs project so I left the inside blank.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! This adorable image created the cutest scene! ;)

Some Bunny Loves You Easter Decor

3/20/22 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
4/3/22 Top 3 at International Art & Soul!

Happy Monday, everybody! Hope you had a great weekend and your weather is warming up… even just a little bit! It’s absolutely gorgeous here and I almost feel guilty for not being outdoors enjoying it! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun Easter home decor project featuring our Medium DIY Egg Pallet Shape, Easter Chipboard Word Title and Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments. Spring is my second favorite season and I love everything that Easter represents!

I started by covering all three sections of the Medium DIY Egg Pallet Shape with a pretty pastel plaid patterned paper and the two narrow sections of the mounting stick that are visible from the front with CutCardStock Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock. I always use Bearly Art precision craft glue to adhere the patterned paper to the pallet shape and run my brayer back and forth over it several times, and it sticks very nicely. I fashioned a small bow from a Really Reasonable Ribbon pink ribbon scrap and adhered it to the top with Ranger Distress Collage Medium.

Next I worked on the Easter Chipboard Word Title. I first colored it with a teal alcohol marker, and then applied Versamark (from my dirty ‘grunge’ Versamark pad) and Ranger Bridal Tinsel embossing powder, heat embossed it and let it cool down. I then applied Dare 2B Artzy Paradise ink directly from the ink cube, more Versamark (from my grunge pad) and Hero Arts Clear embossing powder, and heat embossed it a second time. I adhered the Easter word at an angle toward the top. I stamped the bunny sentiment in Catherine Pooler Midnight ink on a scrap of Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, and adhered it on 3-mm-thick adhesive tabs just under the Easter word.

I covered the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments in Colorbok Bright pink and yellow-orange cardstock, added small cottontails made from cotton balls, and adhered them to the bottom center. I removed the prongs from three colored egg brads and adhered them at the bottom with Ranger Distress Collage Medium. The final touch was adding several YNS purple glitter Gumdrops.

And one more peek… super happy with how this turned out! It’s so simple but really packs a punch… and oh, those colors! These were definitely fun products to play with!

Praying For You

Hey, everybody! Can you believe we’re headed into the middle of March already?! Whoosh… won’t be long before another month is on the books! 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 another sample I created for Prickley Pear Stamps with one of THE most adorable stamp sets ever! This card is a standing triple panel card and features our Praying For You stamp set which I paper-pieced using some sweet coordinating patterned papers from Lawn Fawn. I think I have made one card previously with this fold – and it was a number of years ago – so I thought it was time to bring it back around.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock along with layering panels and embellishing strips from an assortment of pink cardstock (two shades I forgot to write down, lol) and patterned papers from the Lawn Fawn Spring Fling 6×6 paper pack, and rounded the corners of most of the pieces. I stamped the focal image on a Solar White cardstock panel and colored part of it with alcohol markers and a metallic gold pen. Using scraps from the same paper pack, I paper-pieced the rest of the image and then assembled the card. I added pink enamel dots to complete the card front.

Here is a close-up of the paper-piecing.

And a couple angled shots so you can see the cool but simple construction.

And one final shot of the back. I left the panel blank to write a custom message and sign. And a cool feature is that the card folds flat for mailing! This was a fun one!

I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a pretty thank you card featuring our Gold Skinny Washi Tape and Black Pearl Bling! I did the bleaching technique on the stamped image on the front of this card and used a lighter-weight 80# cardstock this time (versus 100# cardstock I’ve used in the past) which yielded a sort of mottled effect that I thought looked really cool and added some texture. Foil is so difficult to photograph and I took photos in my studio and outdoors, and these angled ones were the best I could get. *sigh*

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with a gold metallic foil layering panel. I applied strips of our Gold Skinny Washi Tape in a diagonal fashion across the black cardstock panel (eyeballed it… didn’t measure) and then adhered it to the gold metallic foil panel and then to the card base. I stamped the floral image from the Trinity Stamps Summer Blooms stamp set in Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder. I painted the image with a Tsukineko Fantastix Brush and household bleach, and then used Karin Brushmarkers to color the bleached areas of the image. I die cut the image with the coordinating Trinity Stamps Summer Blooms die set and adhered it to three more plain die cuts for a little dimension, and adhered the piece to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set in Versamark on a scrap piece of the black cardstock and heat embossed it in gold, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives Black Thin Foam Squares. To finish off the front, I added some Black Pearl Bling.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis Light Yellow cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Gold Skinny Washi Tape and two narrow strips of CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink and layered the panel on the Hygloss Gold Metallic Foil cardstock.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! There’s nothing more classy-looking than our gold skinny washi tape on black cardstock! And the Black Pearl Bling really tops it off!
