Hi friends! I’ve popped in this morning to share another matchbook I created – this one is a kitchen scene and is earmarked for my daughter who loves to cook! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I mentioned a while back when I was sharing the other little matchbooks I was making that I had bought four of the Art Impressions matchbook die sets and I’m finally getting around to sharing the fourth one. I’m entering this one in The Outlawz Festive Fridays Challenge and have chosen the ‘Anything Goes’ theme. These are so stinkin’ fun, I can’t stand it! There are two more that I need to get to add to my collection, so stay tuned!
I used double-sided patterned paper from Polly’s Paper Studio for the matchbook base. I stamped all the kitchen elements on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating dies. I just love all the detail on the kitchen elements! Bonnie Krebs does an amazing job designing these!
Here are shots going around the outside and a shot of the itty bitty envelope.
Hey everybody, I’m baaaaack! I have one more project to share this morning – my sister’s birthday card! I don’t believe she reads my blog, so I think we’re safe! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I got the new We R Memory Keepers Explosion Card Punch Board a couple months ago and used it to make my son’s Father’s Day card which he absolutely LOVED (and got his girls with it, lol), and decided to make another one for my sister’s birthday coming up. I intended to make a video of this one exploding but sealed it up without thinking. But… I’m going to make one for my daughter soon and will do a video on that one, so stay tuned! I am entering this explosion card into The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge where the theme is to Add Sparkle, which I’ve accomplished with the Brutus Monroe Glitterstock!
I created an envelope with the same punch board from CutCardStock Basis 80# Dark Orange cardstock, stamped ‘hold here’ at the bottom on the back side in Catherine Pooler Icing On The Cake ink, and added a strip of the animal print cardstock to the bottom front.
And one more peek… SQUEAL! So loving this punch board and I see many more of these fun cards in my future! You really do need to see a video to see the full effect of the explosion, lol!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this project and will come over and join in all the fun at The Outlawz Challenges! Lots of fun going on! Thanks so much for stopping by today – we’ll see you next time! ;)

7/15/21 Top Pick of the Week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge!
Hey everybody! Hope you’re having a great day! Thought I’d pop in this evening with one of the quickest cards I think I’ve ever made in all my years of crafting… took less than 30 minutes and looks like I spent hours on it! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created this card for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge which is always Anything Goes with an optional twist – and this time the twist is to create a twisted easel card. Dr. Digi’s House of Stamps is our sponsor this month so come on over and play! It’s been a minute since I created a twisted easel card and I was surprised at how easy it came back to me. The fun (and fast) part about this card is that I already had the stamped and die cut background with flowers and the stamped gingham background in my rather large bin of pieces and parts and extra die cuts! Yesssss!
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Black cardstock and added the already-made upper and lower background panels. The upper panel was created with layered squares cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and CutCardStock Basis 80# Black cardstock using the My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX Die-namics. I adhered flowers and leaves stamped with the Altenew Build-A-Flower Hibiscus stamp set and cut with the coordinating dies, stamped the Brutus Monroe Super Sentimental sentiment in Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink, and added several tiny iridescent gemstones. The lower panel was one I stamped with the Concord and 9th Gingham Background stamp set back when I was still using Stampin’ Up ink. The stacked sentiment for the easel stop is from the Altenew Painted Butterflies stamp set. I added a few larger iridescent gemstones in one corner to complete the lower panel.
And one final look all folded up… so loving how this turned out! And I can’t believe how fast it worked up – that bin of extra pieces and parts sure paid off big time!

Happy Monday, everybody! Hope you have a great week coming up! This is my last guest designer post for Make the Cards Challenge, and I thank Jill and the rest of the gang for this fun guest gig! I’ve had a great time! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to share my inspiration project for MTCC #23 – Sketch Challenge! Who doesn’t love a sketch, especially when it’s an awesome CAS sketch?!
I know I’ve mentioned previously (multiple times, lol) that I’m navigating more toward clean and simple these days than I ever have. This sketch really spoke to me so I decided to make a pair of cards that are the same on the front but have different sentiments inside.
I cut two standard size top folding A2 card bases from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner which I frequently like to do! I’m quirky like that, lol! I cut two stitched circles from CutCardStock Curious Metallic White Silver cardstock and adhered one to the bottom right quadrant of each card base. I stamped the hibiscus flowers, buds and leaves (two of each) on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock as well, and adhered a set to the stitched circle die cut on each card base. I stamped the sentiment twice in purple ink on a scrap of white cardstock, trimmed them, and adhered one to each card.
As mentioned above, the inside sentiments are different on each card.
And one more peek… totally loving how these turned out! Super simple card design that could easily be mass produced for a set to give as a gift!

I cut a second white cardstock panel along with a folded panel from the jellybean cardstock (to fashion the third fold), stamped another sentiment in dark green ink and adhered the panel on the inside. This was a fun one!
