It’s your Birthday!

Hi everyone! A big ole Happy Monday to you! I’m thrilled to share that I’m guest designing for Make The Cards Challenges over the next three months! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! My GD inspiration project for MTCC #14: 3-2-1 Challenge is a pretty birthday card created in kraft and black, which is one of my favorite color combos although I don’t use it nearly enough!

As the graphic depicts, the challenge is to create a project using 3 embellishments, 2 die cuts and 1 stamped image. Fun, fun, fun!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Felt Natural cardstock, a really sturdy cardstock, and covered the front with CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft cardstock. Using the CUTplorations Butterfly Cover Plate, I die cut the decorative front panel from CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock and then die cut the flagged label from the kraft cardstock using the Inspired by Stamping Fancy Label Dies 3, which took care of my two die cuts. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the label die cut which satisfied the stamping requirement. I added three tiny white flat-back pearls (colored black with an alcohol marker) to the stamped sentiment which took care of the requirement of three embellishments. ;)

I covered the inside of the card base with CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft cardstock, embellished it with a strip of CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock and a very narrow leftover strip of the kraft cardstock just beneath it for a tone-on-tone effect, and stamped the sentiment in black ink.

And one more look… what a fun challenge! Love how this card turned out!

Birthday Quad Fold

Hi friends! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend and you’re having some great weather! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #49 – Anything Goes + Layering! We are a technique challenge blog and all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and we offer a different technique twist each month to inspire you! Our twist this month is layering (three or more layers) which is easy for most of us, lol! I have a cool project to share this month with lots of layers – which I’m calling a quad fold card. My inspiration came from the Stempeleinmaleins blog but I can’t find the specific post again. It’s a German blog with tons of great resources and they may have called this fold something different than what I’m calling it. If I end up finding it, I’ll update this post.

I created the card base from kraft cardstock and covered the panels with coordinating papers. I stamped an assortment of images on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock in brown and teal inks, cut them with oval and scalloped oval dies, layered them and adhered them to the panels. A couple of them required a small amount of coloring which I did with alcohol markers and I added some Crystal Drops to a couple of them. I added a velcro closure under the scalloped oval element on the front to keep it closed.

And one more peek at the front and one of the back… so loving how this turned out! Definitely a unique fold!

With Love

Hello, everybody! Hey, Hey, Happy Satur-Day! Hope you have some fun planned this weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #34 – May Anything Christmas Goes! I’ve been playing with more Prickley Pear Stamps and coordinating die, and had a great time creating this card!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a dark green background panel from the last few scraps of this cardstock. I was so sad to see it come to an end – it’s a gorgeous color and I’m not sure I can get any more of it. I tore some snow banks from white cardstock, layered them together and adhered them to the bottom of the green panel. I stamped, embossed and cut the trees with the coordinating die, and adhered them to the panel. This is that funky clear embossing powder in my stash that looks like it has some white embossing powder mixed in it. I know I’ve talked about it before. I’m so tempted to throw it away and replace it with a new container of that brand, but somehow it looks so cool that I always talk myself into keeping it, lol! I added three snowflake brads and then adhered the panel to the front of the card.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in dark green ink. Since I was literally down to scraps of this cardstock as mentioned above, I fashioned a semi-border with four strips which I thought looked kind of cool. There’s more than one way to make this design happen even if you ARE running out of a particular color of cardstock! ;)

And one more look… totally loving this design! This is another one that would be easy to mass produce!

Tea ‘thank you’

Happy Saturday, friends! Hope you have a great weekend planned! A new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #145 – Anything Goes Challenge! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a double gate fold ‘thank you’ card sample using some Prickley Pear Stamps tea-themed stamps and dies along with some pretty double-sided paper from my stash! You know how I love fun folds, and this one is so awesome!

I stamped the to-go tea cup on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and cut it with the coordinating die. I adhered it to a stitched mini scallop die cut also cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock which I layered on a stitched circle cut from emerald green cardstock. I chose double-sided paper that wasn’t too ‘busy’ for the folded card base, and adhered the focal image. I embellished the inside panel with a paper strip and a sentiment cut from the emerald green cardstock, and stamped some coordinating tea leaves in the bottom right corner.

And one more peek… I really love this fold and I’m sure you’ll be seeing it again (and again)!

You’re Simply Wonderful

5/31/21 DT Favorite Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Loving life here with great weather and lots of studio time! It’s time for a new challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration for LTCCB #58 – May Anything Goes! I created a waterfall card – my first-ever waterfall card – and if you know me, you know that I’m a fun fold geek! I’ve had these instructions in my tutorial folder for quite some time and don’t exactly know why I haven’t made one yet… I thoroughly enjoyed making this!

I stamped the background in green using a pretty floral stamp set and layered the panel on black cardstock. I stamped a sentiment at the top of the panel in black ink. I applied transfer foil to a cardstock scrap to use for the centers of the flowers and OMG this is some fun stuff! I die cut ten flower centers from the foiled cardstock and adhered one to each of the flowers on the background. I then stamped the four waterfall panels with the same stamp set but in different colors, and layered those panels on black cardstock. I adhered the remaining gold foiled flower centers to the panels. I stamped the vertical strip across the pull mechanism in green and layered it on black cardstock as well, and adhered it to the base panel with green Scrapbook Nails.

I stamped a simple ‘thanks’ sentiment on the back, leaving plenty of room for a handwritten note and signature.

And one more peek… so happy with how this turned out! I see more of these in my future, lol!

Here’s a little video showing how this fun fold works!

from one crazy bird to another

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 fun friendship card featuring NEW brads in the store along with some washi tape and yep… you guessed it… (my favorite) enamel dots!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a slightly larger panel from American Crafts Peacock cardstock which I adhered together. I cut a panel from some tropical leaf paper for the right side and then added a narrow strip of the Peacock cardstock along with a strip of Silver Skinny Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiments in teal ink, then stamped an assortment of tropical leaves on white cardstock scraps in teal and green ink, die cut them and arranged them on the card panel. The final step was adding two Tropical Bird Brads and three Green Enamel Dots, and adhering the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of tropical leaf paper and a narrow strip of Peacock cardstock, stamped the sentiment in teal ink, and layered the panel on the Peacock cardstock.

And one more peek… so happy with how this turned out! Love it when the paper and stamps coordinate so well, and the card comes together easily with these amazing brads, washi tape and enamel dots!

‘Cut out to be friends’ matchbook

Hi everybody! I hope you are having a fantastic week! Man, they are flying by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning with another fun little matchbook – I used the Craft Room set this time! So fun! When I finished the 20 commissioned Mother’s Day cards (I still have several to share, by the way), I moved on to nine samples for Prickley Pear Stamps which I finished yesterday and photographed with my new Canon Rebel T7. You’ll see those a little later on. I’ve had the Canon for a little over a week and finally got brave enough to try it out… and wow, talk about A LOT for this old brain to comprehend!

This matchbook was probably the last project destined to be photographed with the old DSLR camera that I was totally comfortable with and knew like the back of my hand. I’m sad it has to be replaced but life goes on. I’m actually looking forward to making a few changes going forward – I’m still using the tripod but have discontinued the lightbox. I typically shoot four pics of each card and I’m cutting down to three. And I’m considering cutting down the narratives on my projects as well, with the goal of shorter posts since I seem to have less time these days. I work way ahead so you’ll still be seeing some longer posts with more photos that have been scheduled for a while. Okay, back to the matchbook!

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Aqua cardstock and used CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock for the window trim on both sides and the rug. I stamped all the elements on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies.

Here are shots going around the outside and a shot of the itty bitty envelope. ;)

And one more look… I can’t get over the detail on these – loving the die cut machine on the cabinet and the paper cutter on the bottom shelf, lol! On to the Den Set next, so stay tuned! ;)

Using the Tutti Designs Fancy Tie die, I cut the tie twice from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, layered them together for slight dimension and adhered them to the narrow panel. I stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink, which completed the card front.

For the inside, I also cut narrow panels from Neenah Classic Linen Solar White 100# cardstock and CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, layered them together and adhered them to the left side of the panel. I stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

MOM

5/3/21 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!

Hi everybody! Hope you’ve had a great weekend! I’m working on a few more commissioned Mother’s Day cards and have popped in this evening with another one to share! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This card features the ‘Mom’ stamps and dies from Pretty Pink Posh and I think I’m in love! I really enjoyed coloring these florals and designing this clean and simple card!

I stamped the floral MOM letters on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, colored them with Bic Mark-Its and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with a slightly larger layering panel and another set of MOM letters from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock. I die cut the word ‘happy’ from CutCardStock Raspberry Ice cardstock thinking ‘never in a million years would I have ever thought I would pair pink with red’ – but it totally worked on this design! I adhered the layering panels together, then adhered them to the card base. I adhered the floral letters to the red cardstock letters, off-setting them just a bit, and adhered them to the card front. I stamped the sentiment in black ink beneath the die cut letters, and the finishing touch was adding the pink die cut ‘happy’ just above the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory 80# cardstock, stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! And yep, I like the pops of pink and red together! ;)

Mother’s Day Flowers

4/30/21 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!
5/2/21 Winner at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend! Our weather is getting better by the day, and the hubs has started planting fruit and veggies in the garden! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this evening to share a super cute Mother’s Day card. I’ve been commissioned to make quite a few Mother’s Day cards so you’ll be seeing them mixed in with my design team projects over the next couple weeks. ;) I knew the Honey Bee Stamps Flower Pot Card die set would be perfect so I made several of these this afternoon!

I dug into my Papertrey Ink cardstock stash and used Canyon Clay and Pure Poppy for the flower pot, along with scraps of Prairie Grass, Bright Buttercup, Orange Zest, Tropical Teal, Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf, and Vintage Jadeite cardstock for the flowers and leaves. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the front of the flower pot prior to assembling it, and once assembled, I embellished it with small clear gemstones.

I cut the pull-out card from Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise cardstock and adhered a panel of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock to it and stamped the simple sentiment in black ink.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I’ve only used this die set once before and made these flowers a bit different. Love all the color! ;)
