Have a Magical Day

Hey everybody! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set and coordinating Best Unicorn Buddies die set! I just LOVE these little unicorns and this time I’m showcasing them on a wiper card! Fun folds are my ‘thing’ and wiper cards are on my list of favorites! My inspiration for this fun card came from Julie Davison’s easy tutorial HERE.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Doodlebug Design floral-graph and buffalo check-woodgrain rainbow petite prints. I stamped three unicorns, the rainbow, a couple clouds and several hearts from the Best Unicorn Buddies stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating Best Unicorn Buddies dies. I added tiny dots of Nuvo Ivory Seashell Crystal Drops to the flowers on two of the unicorn images. While those were drying, I drew some lines on the hearts with a Sakura white Gelly Roll pen for a little interest.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink and cut it with a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Circle STAX die. The fun part was attaching one of the unicorns to a strip of acetate on the wiper mechanism so when the card sides are pulled outward, up pops the unicorn! The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Amethyst Accent Embellishment Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper used on the front. I stamped the sentiment from the same Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set in black ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Grape Jelly cardstock.

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re enjoying a beautiful start to your weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #71! With Father’s Day just around the corner and my quest this year to use barely used or never used stash, I’m sharing a fun card I created with some My Favorite Things dies that I’ve never used. The hubs uses mostly DeWalt tools and they are yellow, so that’s the color I went with, lol! I think this turned out so awesome!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Kraft Chipboard along with a layering panel from Pop Tone Black Licorice. I also die cut a pegboard panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock using the My Favorite Things Pegboard Cover-Up Die-namics. Using the Tool Time Die-namics, I die cut the tools from Basis Gold, Stardream Metallic Silver and Bright Silver Foil. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps I Love You Toolbox and All stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the Kraft Chipboard and Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock used on the front. In keeping with the kraft and black colors, I stamped the inside sentiment (from the same Prickley Pear Stamps stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Sandcastle ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share featuring Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock (a staple in my studio) that I paired with our Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock! This pretty birthday card was created in black and white with just a pop of red, which is one of my all-time favorite color combos! The best part is the supply list for this clean and simple design is minimal and the card is easy to reproduce!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with small layering panels from Solar White and CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice. I created an off-center frame by die cutting a stitched rectangle into the Solar White panel using a My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX die which I retained for later use. I hand cut a rectangle into the Black Licorice panel, adhered the frame panels together, and applied double-sided foam strips to the back.

I applied Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot washi tape to a strip of Solar White cardstock which I layered horizontally beneath the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Layering Leaves stamp set at the top of the card base front in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped the florals (from the same stamp set) on Solar White cardstock in black ink, punched them with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Bough Punch, and adhered them to the stitched rectangle which I adhered inside the frame. I added a small red bow fashioned from Stampin’ Up Real Red ribbon and several Eyelet Outlet small red gemstones, which completed the card front.

For the inside, in keeping with the design on the front, I applied Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot washi tape to another strip of Solar White cardstock which I layered horizontally across the top. The final step was stamping the sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up Layering Leaves stamp set) in Tuxedo Black ink on the second stitched rectangle die cut.

Best Unicorn Buddies

6/10/23 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! A big ol’ Happy Sunday to you! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the super adorable Best Unicorn Buddies stamps and dies! I have made a bunch of different size step cards over the years and I’ve tweaked the measurements to make a slimline size to feature these super cute little unicorns! My go-to slimline card size happens to be 3-3/4″ x 9″ and I’m offering the measurements for my slimline step card (as well as a mini slimline size) as freebies on my blog HERE.

I cut the slimline step card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White, two embellishing strips from CutCardStock Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock, and layering panels from two coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the unicorn and rainbow/cloud images from the Best Unicorn Buddies stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basis White, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Best Unicorn Buddies dies.

I popped one of the clouds up on a 1/4″ double-sided foam strip, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and added several Buttons Galore & More Pink Grapefruit buttons which completed the card front. This was definitely a fun one!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I have a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the super adorable new Party Dress Dies that were just released last month! I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this die set is, and the possibilities are endless with the colors, prints and occasions you can use them for! I love a pink and orange color combo, so that’s the direction I went with this birthday card!

Using the Party Dress dies, I cut the card base and layers from papers in the Mango and Rose 12×12 Collection Packs. I die cut a flower element from Stampin’ Up Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper and added a Clementine Pearl to the center. I assembled the card and added Clementine Rhinestones at the waistline and along with the flower element. I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday sentiment stamp set in Memento Morocco ink.

I die cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered a strip of one additional coordinating paper from the Rose 12×12 Collection Pack across the bottom. I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday sentiment stamp set in Memento Morocco ink along with two tiny hearts from the Get Well sentiment stamp set in Memento Rose Bud ink.

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend and your weather is as beautiful as ours is out here in southwestern Colorado! This is such a wonderful time of year with the cool nights and warm days – but not too warm… yet! I’m delighted to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing May 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m always in awe of the upgrades included with the kits each month and how everything coordinates so beautifully! Totally loving the papers, sticker, and matching chipboard used on this friendship card!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two prints in the collection, and rounded the right bottom corner. I added some pink skinny glitter washi tape from my stash prior to adhering a die cut oval and chipboard accent. The finishing touch was adding tiny clear gemstones to several of the clouds.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a sticker strip of clouds from the sticker sheet and a strip of pink skinny glitter washi tape. I added a sentiment die cut from the upgrades which completed the card.

Howdy friends! Time is just flying by and it’ll be Christmas again before we know it! Just don’t blink, lol! I’m thrilled to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing May 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m totally loving all the different sized journaling cards included in this month’s collection and created this pretty front flap card featuring one of the 4×4 journaling cards with coordinating paper.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two prints in this month’s collection and American Crafts Rouge Glitter Paper. I also trimmed a 4×4 journaling card included with the papers and rounded all four corners on all the pieces. I popped the focal panel up on double-sided foam strips, and added three embellishments from the Buttons Galore & More Sparkletz Embellishments.

I embellished the inside of the front flap with a plaid print from the collection and a narrow strip of the glitter paper used on the front, and added a stamped sentiment and sticker from the sticker sheet.

Spring Fling Clutch Purse

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good day and you’re able to be outside enjoying some delightful weather! I’m happy to be back with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing May 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’ve always loved using chipboard accents on my projects, and the package included in the upgrades this month is pretty amazing! I’ve used two of them on the front of this cute little clutch purse!

I cut the clutch purse card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and covered it with a plaid print from the collection. I cut the flap closure using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Oval STAX and covered it with a coordinating print from the kit. I added a layered strip embellishment across the bottom and adhered the chipboard accents from the upgrades. The final step was adhering a small disc magnet with Ranger Distress Collage Medium to keep the purse closed.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a print from the kit. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet and layered the panel on another print from the collection.

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you’ve had a fabulous week! They sure are flying by, aren’t they?! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with another inspiration project featuring the Be Joyful stamps and dies! These are such amazing faith-based stamps and dies, and are truly some of my favorites. I paired these with a sunburst die in my stash that I thought was so appropriate for this image and sentiment! This is a simple design that would be easy to mass-produce. 

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. Using the Sizzix/Stampin’ Up Sunburst Thinlits, I die cut the sunburst from a yellow print in the Keep It Simple Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the male image from the Be Joyful stamp set on Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored it with alcohol markers, and die cut it with the coordinating Be Joyful die set. I stamped the sentiment in the center of the sunburst rays in Catherine Pooler Sauna ink, and popped the image up on double-sided foam strips. The finishing touch was adding gemstones to the rays from the Trinity Stamps Brilliant Citrine Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday – I can’t believe we’re almost through another week! Where is the time going?! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing May 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I love all the different patterned papers in this month’s kit, and picked out three coordinating prints to make this pinwheel panel card. The focal element is a Chipboard Accent from the upgrades. I’ve made a few of these pinwheel cards over the years and they are so fun!

I cut the square card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice and a gingham pattern from this month’s kit. Using a My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX, I die cut eight stitched squares for the pinwheel from two additional patterns in the collection along with layers cut from the Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I adhered the pinwheel element to the card base and added a Chipboard Accent from the upgrades which I sanded with a Snow Block (a staple in my studio) and layered on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap piece of the gingham print from the kit and narrow strip of Black Licorice cardstock used on the front. The finishing touch was adding a sentiment piece from the Frames & Tags in the upgrades.
