Drink Up, Witches!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having an awesome week – it’s Friday! I’m delighted to be back with an inspiration project to share for Keep It Simple DT! I just love seeing all the spooky and not-so-spooky Halloween projects this time of year! Our design team has created some awesome projects and we’re having a social media HOP to share some last-minute Halloween project ideas today, tomorrow and Sunday! There’s a full HOP list on my Instagram post HERE if you want to hop along!

If you are hopping along – and hopefully enjoying our design team projects – then you’ve landed here because I’m the last stop on the hop! And I have blog candy! If you are participating in the HOP and you’d like to get in on the chance to win a prize pack from me, I invite you to (1) follow me on Instagram, (2) follow me here on my blog, and (3) leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite drink! I’ll draw a winner on Monday, October 30th!

I created a very cool pop out gatefold card featuring papers and die cut pieces from the ‘A Wee Bit Wicked’ Collection! I am totally in love with literally everything in this collection! My inspiration for this fold came from Sandie on the Stampingbella DT. Her tutorial is HERE on the Stampingbella blog if you’re interested. It was definitely a fun one and I totally love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the A Wee Bit Wicked 6×9 Collection Pack. I used quite a few die cuts from the A Wee Bit Wicked Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. I used a piece of black thread to connect the spiders to the web.

Here’s a shot of the card closed and folded flat for mailing. There is room on the back for a signature and optional message which I didn’t photograph.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Dang, this weekend sure went by fast – in fact, this whole month has flown by! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with an amazing DT inspiration project featuring our Silk Glitter Opulent Opal along with a couple colors in the Pop Tone line and a couple greens! I used alcohol inks on the glitter cardstock for this Christmas card and it turned out so pretty! Not sure why I haven’t thought to do this before!

I started by cutting two pieces of Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock and dropping Watermelon, Poppyfield and Cranberry alcohol inks onto one of them, and Citrus, Lettuce and Botanical alcohol inks onto the other one. While they were drying, I die cut some of the floral pieces from Pop Tone Wild Cherry and Pop Tone Lemon Drop, along with the berries from Opulent Opal and the leaf pieces from Mantis Green and Kale Green. Once the glitter pieces were dry, I die cut the main floral piece from the red one and the main leaf piece from the green one. I went ahead and assembled the floral spray before I lost any of those tiny pieces, lol! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# Solar White which I ran through the Big Shot with the Sizzix Texture Fades Plaid embossing folder. I adhered the assembled floral spray to the embossed panel with foam strips. I stamped the sentiment from the Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink on Solar White and cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies. I adhered the sentiment and added several clear gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with an embossed Mantis Green strip and a narrow strip of Solar White. I stamped the sentiment (from the same Taylored Expressions stamp set) in green ink and layered the panel on Kale Green cardstock.

Hey peeps, how are you today? I hope you had a great weekend and you’re looking forward to an awesome week coming up! I’ve popped in this morning with another card I created for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge in honor of our friend, Janis. I dug into some of my older papers, stamps and dies and made another triple point fun fold featuring a Paper Smooches kitty sitting in a Birch Tree Design wreath! It’s funny how a fun fold design that I was not crazy about initially has become one that I really like!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Christmas Print 6×6 cardstock pad. Next, I created the wreath using the Birch Tree Design Roundabout die set. I cut the layers from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil, Habanero Red and Kale Green cardstock and assembled the wreath. Using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop STAX, I cut a large circle from CutCardStock Mantis Green cardstock and adhered the wreath.

I stamped the kitty from the Paper Smooches Feline Friends stamp set in Catherine Pooler Sand Castle ink and cut it with the coordinating die. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink and adhered the kitty beneath it on a foam strip. The final touch was adding a tiny heart punched from a Habanero Red cardstock scrap using the Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter punch.

Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop STAX, I cut another large circle from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Memento Northern Pine ink and adhered the circle to the inside panel directly beneath the circle on the front panel.

dia De muertos

Howdy peeps! It’s a beautiful Sunday and I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m back up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with a center easel card! You know how I love fun folds and this one is so easy and works up fast. I used the day of the dead cat in the Scary Cats 2 stamp set which I paired with pink patterned papers in my stash.

I cut the A2 size card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and covered the panels with pink plaid, polka dot and floral patterned papers. I stamped the day of the dead cat from the Scary Cats 2 stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, colored the flowers on her head and face with alcohol markers, and fussy cut her.

I adhered the cat to the center panel, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and added a few gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick. The final step was adding a ‘stop’ for the center easel to rest on. I created this by stamping the circular cluster of flowers (in the same stamp set), coloring them with alcohol markers, and punching the cluster with a 1″ circle punch. I then layered it on several more punched circles to give it some dimension.

hello Winter

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, die cut pieces, stamps and dies in the new Snow Day Collection! OMGoodness, yumminess to the third degree here, folks! The colors in this collection are amazing and absolutely fitting for Winter-themed projects! I created a double pleated card, also known as a drapery fold, with a little twist. Our papers are robust, so instead of folding the paper, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. This took a little extra time but yielded a very cool design which was flatter than it would have been folded.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a navy paper in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the pleated panel from a coordinating print and instead of folding, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. I added a horizontal strip across the front of the panel and added the sentiment pieces from the Words and Phrases Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding several Clear Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover triangle cut from the pleated panel on the front. I stamped a sentiment in Memento Paris Dusk ink from the Collection Stamp and cut it with an Outline Die. The final step was adhering the panel to a navy layer.

Hi friends! I hope you are healthy and happy, and your weekend has started off nicely! I have a very cool triple Z-fold to share with you this morning that I created for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge honoring our dear friend, Janis. I’ve seen several versions of a triple Z-fold on Pinterest and since the basic Z-fold is one of the easiest to make, I figured adding the triple strips would be a breeze – and it was! I made this one in a standard A2 size and it folds flat for mailing. I have shared the instructions for this easy fun fold in the Freebies section of my blog, so be sure to check it out you’d like to learn how to make it. I totally love Tim’s Crazy Cat stamps and dies, and this is the second card I made using them for the cat lovers Christmas challenge. These cats never get old! And I couldn’t resist putting sunglasses on this guy, too! ;)

I cut the card base and strips from 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Echo Park A Perfect Christmas Collection Kit. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies, I die cut ovals from Solar White cardstock and CutCardStock Scottish Highlands Green cardstock. I adhered them to the card front and added a sentiment sticker from the Echo Park collection. I stamped the cat from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamp set on Solar White cardstock, colored him with alcohol markers and cut him with the coordinating Crazy Cats Framelits.

I wanted to use the Santa hat in the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Things stamp set but it was right-hand oriented, so I used the Neat & Tangled Backdrop stamp and Memento Tuxedo Black ink to reverse the image and make it left-hand oriented which ‘flowed’ better with the this particular cat. I darkened the outline just a tad with a Sakura black Pigma Micron 08 pen. I colored the image with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it, and added an Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses Brad.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of patterned paper used on the front. I added a sentiment sticker from the Echo Park collection and layered the panel on Scottish Highlands Green cardstock.

ho ho ho fun fold

Happy Thursday, everybody! The weekend is almost here and I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’ve been busy creating cards for the 2023 Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge that has been organized to honor our friend, Janis. This front flap card is one of my most favorite fun folds because it’s so easy and really packs a punch. And I used a kraft and gold color scheme which I really love. It’s been a while since I pulled out the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamps and dies, so I made two cards while I had them out, with different cats, of course! And don’t you just love the sunglasses?! Bahahaha!

I cut the flat card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural and the front flap from Basis 80# Natural cardstock. I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Kraft & Gold Print 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the cat from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Cats stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Basis Natural, colored him with alcohol markers, and cut him with the coordinating Crazy Cats Framelits.

I adhered the cat to a rectangle cut with the Keep It Simple Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies that I layered on a Basis 80# Natural panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink on the back side of a scrap, fussy cut, and adhered it to the rectangle. I removed the prongs from an Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses Brad and adhered the sunglasses to the cat with Stampin’ Up Mini Dimensionals. The final touch was adding several pearls Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with a scrap of the plaid print used on the front. I stamped the sentiment (also from the Paper Smooches Holiday Cheer stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink and layered it on the back side of a scrap.

This Is Boo-Sheet!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fantastic week! I just HAD to get on this morning to share a Halloween card I made that I think is hilarious! I literally LOL’d when I saw the cut file in the Printable Cuttable Creatables store and chuckled pretty much the entire time it took me to make the card! The facial expression and the folded arms just crack me up! This is one of the first handful of cards I made with my new Cricut Explore Air 2 which I think I’m going to love once I get the hang of how to use Design Space!

I started by creating the focal element using the Printable Cuttable Creatables Boo-Sheet Ghost SVG cut file. I cut the pieces from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and CutCardStock Pop Tone Orange Fizz cardstock. This was a fun one to assemble!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the American Crafts Halloween Print 6×6 paper pad, and rounded the bottom right corner of each. I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet orange and white polka dot washi tape to a Solar White cardstock strip and adhered it at the seam of the two patterned papers. I adhered the focal element and several black gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with strips of Pop Tone Black Licorice and Pop Tone Orange Fizz cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from The Project Bin’s Creepy Halloween stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great day! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the Ornaments 2 stamp set! I totally love clean and simple and this stamp set is perfect for creating this kind of card. There are several different ornaments in this set that you can stamp by themselves or group together.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock. I stamped an ornament from the Ornaments 2 stamp set in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink on a scrap piece of Cougar 80# Smooth White and cut it in a diamond shape using the My Favorite Things Mini Scallop Square STAX. I used a Pentel Slicci gold pen to draw a hanger on the ornament and then layered it on a small panel of CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in brown ink and added several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

Ride or Die Witches

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve popped in this morning to share a fun Halloween card that I made for a swap in one of my design teams. The recipient has received it so it’s safe to share! I have to admit that I was not fond of this triple point card at all when I first saw it and I don’t know why; it just didn’t appeal to me. It seems to be pretty popular and after seeing so many of them, it has actually ‘grown’ on me. I’ve made a couple of them now (this was the first one) and I didn’t use any instructions – I was able to make it from memory, lol. It’s really very simple – cut the front flap into a point and rotate the triangular corners upward at an angle on each side to create the triple point at the bottom. That’s it!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with a spider web layering panel from the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies, I cut a large circle from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Opulent Opal 12×12 cardstock and adhered witch and star die cuts from the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked Die Cut Pieces. I chose a sentiment from the Die Cut Pieces, trimmed it and rounded the corners with my Kadomaru Pro corner rounder.

I cut the inside panel from an orange dotted print in the Keep It Simple A Wee Bit Wicked 6×9 Collection Pack and adhered a slightly smaller stitched circle die cut. I stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Bats 2 stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a star die cut.
