Papercraft – Page 55 – Love To Scrap 2

happy FALL

11/11/23 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Happy Monday… it sure got here fast, didn’t it?! I’m back this morning with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, dies and die cut pieces in the FABulous Farmhouse Fall Collection! This clean and simple card features the amazingly large Happy Fall dies which I absolutely love! You don’t need anything else to embellish the front other than a few enamel dots!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Using the Happy Fall KIS Cuts, I cut the largest background piece from a dark blue paper in the 6×9 Cardstock Pack and the next smaller background piece from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock (along with the words and hearts which I colored with alcohol markers). It was a breeze to assemble and the final touch was adding a few dark blue enamel dots from the Hello Adventure Collection.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with a strip cut from the navy blue paper used on the front. I added a sentiment tag from the Falling For You Ephemera Die Cuts and then layered the panel on more of the navy blue paper.

Vintage Yuletide Greetings

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I’m still working on Christmas projects which I do all year long. How about you… have you started on them, are you plugging away, or are you finished? I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the absolutely gorgeous Cardinals and Cardinals 2 Stamp Sets along with the coordinating Cardinal Die and the Heart Oval Insert Die. This CAS-ish vintage card is a super simple design that would be so easy to mass produce for everybody on your Christmas list.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft Paper and two coordinating papers from the Hot Off The Press Christmas Memories double-sided paper pack. I tore the top edge of the three layering panels and adhered them to the card base. I stamped the floral music image from the Cardinals stamp set on the left edge and the sentiment (from the Cardinals 2 stamp set) on a scrap piece of Basis Natural cardstock, both in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink, and cut the sentiment with the Heart Oval Insert Die. I traced around the outside edge of the oval die cut with a pencil onto a scrap piece of kraft paper, hand-cut it just inside the tracing line, and adhered it behind the die cut.

I stamped the cardinal in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and cut it with the coordinating Cardinal Die. I die cut two additional cardinals and adhered them on top of one another for a little dimension, and then adhered them to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet small red gemstones.

Dog and Cat Lovers Mini Album

Hey everybody! Well, it’s the 1st of a new month and we’re that much closer to Christmas! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mini Album Mania and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MAM #2 – Any Type of Mini Album Goes! I used items from the super adorable Keep It Simple Max & Daisy collection to create a dog and cat lovers mini album! The six album pages are different sizes and shapes of printed chipboard pieces and there is plenty of room for tiny photos and journaling!

I chose six Die Cut Printed Chipboard pieces from the Max & Daisy Collection along with patterned papers from the Flip Sides Pack that I die cut oval, square and rectangle shapes from for the back of several of the pages. The pages were embellished with stickers from the Die Cut Adhesive Sticker Sheet, Puffy Sticker Buttons, Printed Enamel Stickers and Enamel Shapes, all from the Max & Daisy Collection. I punched a hole in the top of the stack of pages with my We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Big Bite, attached the pages with a ball chain and clasp and tied a yellow dotted ribbon onto the ball chain. Super easy and so much fun!

Hi friends! The last challenge of the year is going live this morning on most of my challenge blogs… it’s hard to believe this year is almost over! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Christmas BINGO Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for CBC #4 – Anything Goes with Featured Christmas BINGO Card! We have something exciting happening in January 2024 on this challenge blog – we’ll have a new name and we’re opening up our challenges to ALL occasions! This means you are welcome to create a project for ANY holiday, season or occasion using the Featured BINGO Card. You are more than welcome to continue creating Christmas projects if that’s your jam, but feel free to branch out if you want! This challenge, though, is still Christmas-themed, so please keep that in mind.

I used the Sizzix Ornament Fold-A-Long Thinlits (which I’ve had in my stash for a while) to create a pretty fun fold card for this challenge. I went with Column G this time (red, die cuts, pearls and fancy fold). I also used one of my forever favorite paper packs from Hot Off The Press. I’m very pleased with how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural and the layers and elements from Hot Off The Press Christmas Memories 6×6 papers and CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. Of course, as with all fun folds and 3D projects, the most fun is the assembly!

I added a bow fashioned from Hemptique craft cording paired with GKD gold craft cording. Here’s a shot of it completely opened. So pretty!

Have a perfect day

Howdy peeps! It seems like this new year just started and here we are closing in on the next to the last month! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #6 – Anything Goes with Topaz & Turquoise! In keeping with my quest this year to use either never-been-used or barely-used stamps and dies in my stash, I’ve used this stamp set from Clearly Besotted to create a CAS birthday card. I’ve had it for some time and think I’ve used it once before, so it’s definitely time for another play!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and two layering panels from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock. I stamped the image with sentiment on one of the layering panels and colored the image with alcohol markers. I glued the two layering panels together for a little dimension and adhered them to the card base. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Amber Glow Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and simply stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Congratulations Sentiments stamp set.

Oh Holy Night Matchbook

Hey everybody! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Christmas is just around the corner! Have you started on your Christmas cards and projects yet?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #53 – Anything Christmas Goes! I’ve been playing with Matchbooks again – you know those tiny little Art Impressions works of art that I can’t seem to get enough of?! This Nativity Matchbook set is super adorable and I so love how this project turned out!

Using the Art Impressions Matchbook Template dies, I cut the base from P13 Always and Forever double-sided paper. It had butterflies on the reverse side of the woodgrain print which I didn’t want to show, so I adhered panels of woodgrain on the reverse side as well. I stamped the images in the Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Art Impressions Nativity Matchbook die set. The fun part of these is always the assembly! ;) Finally, I cut the teeny envelope from a gray-brown paper in the Urban Style Design Pad using the Art Impressions Matchbook Envelopes Dies.

Here are a few more angled shots. I really, really love this Art Impressions Matchbook line!

Hey everybody! I hope your weather isn’t too cold where you are! We’re having some cold stuff here but that’s how we like it! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for MIUCB #68 – Anything Goes + optional Stamping! We’d love to see your project with rubber/clear stamps and no digis this time if you choose to play the twist. But remember, the twist is not necessary to play in our challenges – we’d be happy to see just an ‘anything goes’ project! I created a super cute and somewhat whimsical shaker card featuring some of my favorite STAMPlorations and This Calls For Confetti products in my stash. This card was for an online friend who is battling pancreatic cancer, and I believe she’s received it, so there’s no spoiler alert. My heart really goes out to this sweet lady; she is such an inspiration with her upbeat and positive attitude. I’m not sure how I would handle the situation she’s in, but she’s handling it with grace and dignity.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the lemon outline from the STAMPlorations Layered Citrus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on the layering panel, cut around the perimeter, and adhered acetate behind the window with Scor-Tape. I then stamped the full color lemon in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello and Chiffon inks directly on the card base.

I stamped the sentiment (also from the Layered Citrus stamp set) in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello ink on the layering panel. I added tiny lemon slices from This Calls For Confetti Iced Pink Lemonade confetti and tiny white stars from The 80s Polymer Clay Mix, and adhered the layering panel to the card base with double-sided foam strips, closing up the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of Solar White cardstock and strips of CutCardStock Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Unity Stamp Co. Blossom By Blossom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and layered the panel on Lemon Drop cardstock.

12/28/23 November DT Favorite at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hi friends! So how is the weather where you are? Are you getting any chilly weather, or better yet, any snow?! You know we love our snowy winter weather out here in southwestern Colorado! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #77 – Anything Goes! I made THE cutest birthday card using the Hot Off The Press Cake Box Cutting Dies. I’ve already made a couple box cards using this die set and they sure don’t disappoint! I love these dies and I love how this card turned out! Definitely got some color goin’ on! ;)

I cut the box card base (chocolate cake layers, lol) from CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock and the icing layers from a cute dotted print in the My Favorite Things Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pack, and assembled the card. I cut the candle and a bunch of flower layers from various prints in the Sweet Celebration paper pack, and the flame from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I assembled the candle and flowers, and adhered them to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Something To Say stamp set in Memento Espresso Truffle ink on a scrap piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and cut it with the fancy die in the HOTP die set. I added a white twine bow along with iridescent gemstones in the flower centers.

I used the middle cake layer die in the set to cut a sentiment panel for the back from Solar White cardstock, and stamped another sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up stamp set in brown ink.

Everything’s Coming Up Carrots

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! I know… it’s a very busy morning on my blog! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m super excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #164 – Anything Goes! I created a super cute thank you card created with a Stampin’ Up stamp set that I’ve had a little while but haven’t had a chance to use yet, and I love how it turned out!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the carrot images from the Stampin’ Up Thanks A Bunch stamp set in Memento Tangelo, Potter’s Clay, New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves and Olive Grove inks directly on the card front. I stamped the sentiment on a Solar White scrap in Potter’s Clay ink, cut it with a Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small die, and adhered it to the card front with a 1″ double-sided foam strip. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle Embellishment Mix.

I stamped the inside sentiment and small bunch of carrots from the same stamp set in Tangelo, Potter’s Clay, New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves inks. It’s almost a one-layer card! ;)

let it snow

Hey everybody! We had our first snow of the season a couple days ago but it wasn’t much and all melted away! We’re just a mere 6-7 (ish) weeks from Christmas, so are you getting ready?! I’ve been making Christmas cards all year long and I’m still making them! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with another inspiration project featuring the beautiful Ornaments 2 stamp set. I made a mini slimline featuring three clusters of hanging snowflakes and I really love how it turned out!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock. Using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Fancy Scalloped Dies, I cut a Cougar Smooth White panel for the front. I also cut a frame from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame dies. I stamped three clusters of hanging snowflakes and a sentiment in Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink. I added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Embellishment Mix to the center of each snowflake with my Trinity Pick Up Stick. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet Teal Enamel Dots.
