If friends were Flowers

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a good week and you’re finding some time to craft. By now you all know that love making fun folds. In all honesty, I’d rather make fun folds than regular cards, lol! I think I may have already said that a time or two! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog sharing a tutorial for making a diamond column pop up card. This fun fold is new to me and I really enjoyed making it.

I’ve used items from our September super kit that is jam-packed with all kinds of amazing products. The super kit is put out once a year for the Love From Lizi kit subscribers as a way of saying thanks for their support. The cost of the super kit is that of a regular monthly kit despite it being nearly double the value. It is available, however, as a one-off purchase for non-subscribers but at a slightly higher cost. It does sell out quickly every year so be sure to grab yours while it’s in stock!  

Be sure to visit the Love From Lizi blog to see my tutorial if you’d like to learn how to make this awesome fun fold. In a nutshell, the base and pillars were cut from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock, and the layering panels and die cut ovals were cut from papers and cardstock in the September Super Kit. I foiled the focal image with a gold foil sheet and a floral image in the Super Kit as well. The sentiment is from the Garden Grace stamp set in the Super Kit, stamped in Catherine Pooler Spruce ink, and the white pearls are from the Mini Pearl Strips on the website. I’ve included front and angled shots below.

I cut the back panels from Solar White cardstock and embellished them with ephemera from the Super Kit. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Garden Grace stamp set in the Super Kit in green ink, and layered the panels on cardstock from the Super Kit.

Hi friends, Happy Friday – I hope your weather is cooling off and you have something fun planned this weekend! We’ve had some beautiful temps in the high 60s and low 70s, and I sure wish it would stay like this year round. I’m thrilled to share a thank you card for Brutus Monroe featuring the Book Lover stamp and coordinating prints from the Book Club paper pack. This accordion layered fun fold also shows off our Buttercream cardstock, an inside sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set, and our Topaz crystals.

I cut the card base at 5-1/2″ x 12″ and scored it at 1-3/4″, 4-3/4″ and 7-3/4. I chose three patterns from the Book Club 6×6 Paper Collection for the three panels seen from the front. I stamped the Book Lover image on Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock, colored it with assorted markers, and cut it with a Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches die. Unfortunately, once again, I’ve discovered that the Book Lover stamp is no longer available. I did a quick scan of the website for book-themed stamps, and a stamp from either the Book Dance or Gnome Books sets would be adorable on this card!

Using more of the Scrapbook.com Nested A2 Arches dies, I cut a series of shaped panels from CutCardStock Cougar 80# Smooth White cardstock, patterned paper from the Book Club paper pack, and Buttercream cardstock. I layered them together in three sets and adhered one set to each of the three panels, smallest to largest, with the stamped image on the front.

I embellished the inside panel with a patterned paper strip and stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set.

Hey everybody, Happy Wednesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a 3D window card featuring the new Gina K Designs Hoots & Owls stamps and dies. I also used the Spellbinders Scallop and Stitched Edge Ovals which I’ve fallen in love with. All of these products are so versatile and I’m sure I’ll get lots of use out of them. The stamp set has five owls and a ton of sentiments, and there are dies for every single one!

I cut the four card base pieces and pop up mechanism from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from Dare 2B Artzy Hoot Hoot paper and Orange Plaid paper, both from the Fields of Joy Collection. I was so stoked to find these papers in my stash – they almost looked like they were designed to go with these stamps!

I adhered a narrow 80# Solar White cardstock panel on the back and embellished it with images and a sentiment stamped from the Hoots & Owls stamps and cut with the coordinating dies. I totally love how this turned out! If you want more in-depth details, be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Pal website.

A Sea of Thanks

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a clean and simple fish-themed thank you card featuring one of our 110# Solar White pre-scored card bases and a variety of cardstock from our Pop Tone line. LOVE the colors of this cardstock – and the weight is perfect for layering and punching or die cutting elements for your projects. I also used the Love From Lizi To The Beach stencil and Brutus Monroe Seafoam Chill Shimmer Spray for the sea water to bring this card to life. Awesomeness overload!

I grabbed one of our Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 folded card bases and cut a panel of Pop Tone Berrylicious for the front. Using the Love From Lizi To The Beach stencil and Brutus Monroe Seafoam Chill Shimmer Spray, I created an illusion of sea water on the front panel and then adhered it to the card base. I stamped the coral and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Using the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set once again, I stamped six fish on Pop Tone Red Hot, Orange Fizz, Banana Split, Gumdrop Green, and Grape Jelly cardstock, and punched them all with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Fish Builder Punch. I adhered all of the fishies to the card front, popping up three of them on foam squares. Of course, I just HAD to include that little rebel (like my daughter) who is swimming in the opposite direction of the rest of them, lol! I added a few iridescent gemstone ‘bubbles’ which completed the card front.

I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Thankful Life stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on the inside.

Merry Christmas

Hi friends, happy middle of August! Already. Yep, it’ll be Christmas before we know it, so you better get crackin’ on your cards (if you haven’t already)… I’m in Christmas card mode year round so no issues here building up my stash! This card for Brutus Monroe features the Garden Trellis Dies along with sentiments from the Occasional Greetings and Good Tidings stamp sets.

This was an easy card that started with a Pre-Scored A2 Card Base. I cut the trellis background four times from Perfect Blend Cardstock and once from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil. I layered them all together, sandwiching the silver one between the white ones, and spritzed it with Holly Berry and Ornament Gold Chroma Mists.

I cut the florals in the die set from Not Your Mamas Cardstock, colored them with a variety of Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and arranged them in the bottom right corner. I stamped a sentiment from the Occasional Greetings Stamp Set in Raven ink and fussy cut it. The finishing touch was adding some randomly placed Red Shift Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock and embellished it with strips of Scarlet and CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Good Tidings stamp set in Raven ink and layered the panel on Scarlet cardstock.

Dreams Do Come True

Hey everybody, Happy Monday – I hope you had a good weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Best Day Ever collection along with our new Confetti stencil. I created a swing flap fun fold (one of my all-time favorites) and I totally love how this turned out! Such a fun collection!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red along with layering panels from the Best Day Ever 12×12 Collection Pack. Using a Back To Basics Stitched Squares Nested Die, I cut a square aperture from the front flap. I then cut an additional square from CutCardStock Savoy Bright White Cotton cardstock which I embellished using the Confetti stencil and Catherine Pooler Sauna, Suede Shoes and Rockin’ Red inks. I also stamped several images and a sentiment from the Best Day Ever Collection Stamps, colored them with assorted markers, and cut them with the Best Day Ever Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with the patterned paper panels. I stamped an additional sentiment and a couple stars from the same Best Day Ever Collection Stamps and cut them with the coordinating Best Day Ever Outline Dies. Love, love, love how this turned out!

That’s What Friends Are Spore

Hi friends, happy Friday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week with some nice-ish weather! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the super cute That’s What Friends Are Spore stamps and dies which I paired with our Not Your Mamas and Aubergine cardstock and Plaid Petals paper. I’m gathering ideas for some DIY Christmas gifts to tuck into Christmas cards, and thought this easel style post-it note holder would be a fun one. It’s such an easy project (with an adorable pun) that entails simple layering, stamping and die cutting, and I’ll share the instructions below.

Cut the easel style base from heavyweight white cardstock at 3-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ and score it at 4-1/4″ and 6-3/8″. Cut the easel panel at 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Fold on the score lines and burnish with a bone folder. Cut cardstock layering panels at 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ for the easel panel and 2″ x 3-1/8″ for the middle section of the base (on the back) between the score lines. Cut patterned paper at 3″ x 4″ for the easel panel and 1-7/8″ x 3″ for the middle section of the base. Adhere the easel panel to the base and decorate it as desired.

I used the That’s What Friends Are Spore stamp set, stamped in Raven ink, and colored with alcohol markers. I cut the image with the coordinating That’s What Friends Are Spore die set and a adhered it to the easel panel. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) directly on the panel in Raven ink.

Here is an angled shot and one with the holder closed flat for mailing. So easy and can be tailored for any theme, holiday or occasion!

missing you

Hey everybody, happy Thursday – I hope life is treating you well! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project with you today which features the Light Burst Cover Plate Die, Flourishes & Sentiments stamps and dies, and Sea Glass ink – all from Catherine Pooler Designs. This pretty friendship card was really easy to make and would be a great one to mass produce to build up your card stash. I have some other ideas brewing in my head for the next time I use this cover plate die, so stay tuned! This cover plate die and the sentiment stamps and dies are super versatile!

I grabbed a Neenah Classic Crest 110# A2 Folded Card Base and added a panel of CutCardStock Lessebo Sweet Mint to the front. Using the Catherine Pooler Light Burst Cover Plate Die, I cut three layers from Celebration Warehouse Seafoam Green Smooth cardstock and adhered them together. I cut just the round center portion from CutCardStock Galax Canvas Texture and again from Light Yellow cardstock and placed the pieces into the negative spaces in the background just to give the design an extra pop of color.

I stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Flourishes & Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Sea Glass ink and cut it with the coordinating Flourishes & Sentiments die. I adhered the sentiment in the lower right corner, popping it up on foam squares, and then added an Eyelet Outlet yellow enamel dot, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the Galax and Sweet Mint cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Flourishes & Sentiments stamps in her Sea Glass ink, cut it with the coordinating die, and layered the panel on Celebration Warehouse Seafoam Green Smooth cardstock.

Hello Sweet Summertime

Hey, everybody – Happy Tuesday! I’m back with my third post this morning… this time to let you know that I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a sweet (pun intended) summertime box card. After all, we are still in the throes of Summer and I know most folks are wishing it would start cooling off. I’ve had lots of Cricut playtime over the past couple months since we moved. Ed built me a nice 4′ x 6′ craft table and I love having the extra space to keep my Cricut out. I know I’ll use it more often now that it no longer lives in a cabinet, lol!

At any rate, this awesome SVG cut file is from Cyndy G SVG and I’m totally enamored with it. Ed and I LOVE watermelon so this was right up my alley. I used Lessebo Coffee Bean, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Banana Split, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, and Scottish Highlands Green – all available on the CutCardStock website.

Using the Watermelon Crate Box Card SVG cut file from Cyndy G SVG, I cut the crate from Lessebo Coffee Bean and Pop Tone Hot Fudge; the inserts from Lessebo Coffee Bean; the watermelons from Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green and Pop Tone Jellybean Green; the flowers from Pop Tone Banana Split; and the vines from Scottish Highlands Green.

You’ve heard me say a hundred times that the assembly is always the most fun part of making these kinds of projects. Well, this one was no exception – I had a blast! Once the box and inserts were assembled, I used alpha stickers from the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit to spell HELLO on the crate, and embellished the flowers with Echo Park My Favorite Summer Adhesive Brads.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and Scottish Highlands Green. I added a sentiment sticker from Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit, which completed the card. I’ve included below an additional angled shot. If you’d like a few more details on how this card went together, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. ;)

Just Rowing by to say HI

Hey everybody, I hope your week has started off on a nice note and your weather isn’t too awfully hot where you are. I’m back this morning with another post for Keep It Simple. It’s turning out to be a busy day on my blog and I’m glad you’re here! I created a library pocket card featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Vikings collection. OMGoodness, this is such an amazing collection and I see it getting a lot of use! And of course, this library pocket card really shows off these fun products! I do have typed instructions for this fold, so if you’d like to have them, let me know!

I cut the pocket and insert from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock and rounded the corners on the flap. I cut layering panels from coordinating prints in the Vikings 6×9 Collection Pack to embellish the front. I stamped the focal image from the Vikings Collection Stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink and colored it with an assortment of markers. I cut it with the coordinating Vikings Outline Die and adhered it to the pocket front with thin foam squares. The finishing touch for the front was adding the sentiment (from the same stamp set) which I stamped in the brown ink and trimmed.

I rounded the corners of the insert and embellished it with coordinating papers from the Vikings Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment in the brown ink and added a stamped and die cut helmet. This is so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!
