I’m too sexy for my broom!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week! It’s Day 2 of the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop and I’ve popped in this morning to share a fun Halloween card. This is the 8th year Janis has organized this amazing Hop and it’s going on until the 29th, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There’s fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has lined up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

I typically don’t make many Halloween cards but I have made a few this year and I just had to use Burt on his broom and the coordinating sentiment! I absolutely LOVE the Riley & Co. Funny Bones line and Burt is one of my favs! He’s such a hoot!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel and die cut cityscape (using the Memory Box Cityscape Nighttime die) from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I also cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered the cityscape at the bottom. I stamped Burt on his broom and colored him with alcohol markers, and adhered the panel to the black licorice layer and then to the card base. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it over the cityscape. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from an Eyelet Outlet purple Pearl Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot Washi Tape. I stamped a Halloween sentiment from The Project Bin Cool Ghoul stamp set that I had out on my desk from another project, and layered the panel on black licorice cardstock.

Frightful & Delightful

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to be back on the Printable Cuttable Creatables blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I have to tell you that it’s been years (literally a lot of years) since I carved a pumpkin and I’m not even sure I could do it now. Creating this tone-on-tone mini slimline card using the Stacked Jack O Lanterns SVG File was just as fun and clearly not as dangerous! Bahahaha!

I cut a 3-1/2” x 6” mini slimline card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a panel cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Stitched Rope Dies which I adhered to the card base. Using my Scan N Cut and the Stacked Jack O Lanterns SVG File, I cut the pumpkins from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, assembled them, and adhered them to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares. I stamped a Halloween sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Scary Cat & Bats stamp set in black ink, die cut it, and adhered it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm Black Pearl Bling Strip.

For the inside, I die cut an additional panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Stitched Rope Dies along with a white layering panel cut from 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Scary Cat & Bats stamp set in black ink.

Fat Cats and Cat Life ATCs

10/25/22 Featured at Little Red Wagon!

Hey everybody! Happy Monday! Today is Day 1 of the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop so I’ve popped in with my first project! But first, a huge congrats goes out to Janis of Her Peaceful Garden who has coordinated The Cat Lovers Hop now for eight fabulous years! It’s going on until the 29th, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There are tons of fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has been busy lining up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

If you are a reader of my blog, you know how much I love ATCs but I don’t (typically) trade them as the name suggests, lol! I created both artist trading cards and coins using the Vera Lane Studio Fat Cats and Cat Life images. I’ve had these in my digi stash for quite some time, and because I don’t use digis very often anymore, I forget I have them. But I absolutely LOVE them and was tickled when I ran across them (looking for something else, of course) and decided they would be the subject of my first Cat Hop project this year!

I printed the images on 65# Hammermill copy paper and the sentiments (names) on CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock. I fussy cut the images and trimmed the names into strips. I created the card and coin blanks from Neenah Classic 110# Solar White cardstock and used Sunny Studio Polka-Dot Parade 6×6 Double-Sided cardstock for the backgrounds, using contrasting colors so the cats would show up well. Each card and coin has a little grassy strip (created with the Marieke Grass Border die) die cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock on which I grounded the kitties.

I injected a little humor with Cat Life adjectives of Gassy, Hungry and Sleepy on the cards which describes our tribe to a ‘T’, and Fat Cat names of Bertha, Beefy and Angus on the coins which are definitely names of overweight cats but not ours. At least not at this point… give them a few years (like Ed and I, lol) and that may change! Bahahaha!

Howdy peeps! Dang, this month is flying by – hard to believe it’s already the 23rd! I’m excited to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with products in the new Lumberjack release! I love fun folds and create them quite regularly. ;) This one is a front flap thank you card created with the Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, Lumberjack Stamps and Lumberjack Outline Dies, and Camping Stamps and Camping Outline Dies. I also used the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set from my stash along with the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock which are already in the store.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, and stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set (from my stash) in the lower right corner. Using the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, I die cut a circle from a print in the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I created a little scene with stamped, colored and die cut elements from the Lumberjack Stamp & Die Bundle and Lumberjack Camping Stamp & Die Bundle. I also used a grass print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and fussy cut clouds from a print in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink from the Lumberjack Stamps, and layered the panel on a print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend and the weather is cooling off some where you live! I’m delighted to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today as a guest designer with a fun inspiration project using more of the new brads in the store! I just LOVE the new Gnome 2 Brads, so I created a super cute clean and simple Christmas card to show them off, and added a little extra pizzazz with the Glitter Red Washi Tape and gemstones from the 4mm Red Jewel Bling Strip!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with short layering panels cut from two prints in the Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 cardstock pad, and rounded the bottom right corner of each. I applied a strip of the Glitter Red Washi Tape, stamped the sentiment from the Stampingbella Festive Gnome Sentiments stamp set, and added three Gnome 2 Brads. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from a 4mm Red Jewel Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with the two Doodlebug Design prints used on the front, and stamped the sentiment from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything.

Merry Christmas Scene in a Bottle

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you’re having an awesome week! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Kat Scrappiness Creative Influencer inspiration project with you! I know I’ve shared many times that I absolutely love shakers – so instead of a ‘message in a bottle’, we have a ‘scene in a bottle’ which is one of the many relatively new products in the store. In addition to this Christmas Scene in a Bottle Shaker Card Kit, I used the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set, Friendship Greetings Stamp Set, 3mm Sparkling Clear Droplets and 4mm Sparkling Clear Droplets to create this Christmas card with an inked background! So fun!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. Next, I DTP-inked a panel of Strathmore Bristol 100# Smooth with Ranger stormy sky, faded jeans, prize ribbon and villainous potion distress inks. When it was completely dry, I flicked water on it and blotted it with paper towel, and adhered it to the card base.

I colored the cork on the end with a brown Tombow marker and added some CutCardStock Brown Bag Kraft paper to resemble cork. Next, I used brown, red, gold and green Tombow markers to color the scene in the bottle, and applied Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops to the trees and ground for the snow.

I assembled the shaker, laid down 3mm Sparkling Clear Droplets and 4mm Sparkling Clear Droplets onto the background, and adhered the shaker over top of them. I adhered a few more clear droplets on the background and added a stamped and trimmed sentiment from the Christmas Gnomes stamp set, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from #80 Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Medium Blue cardstock.

Take Time To Coast

Howdy peeps! Dang, the time just seems to be going by at wicked fast speeds… we’re on the downslide to the end of October already! I’m stoked to be back with another guest design project for InkyStamper using the Pelican stamps and die! This inspirational side fold card (one of my favorites that is super easy) created with the pelican seemed like the perfect kind of card to create in varying tones of brown, and I love how it turned out!

I cut a side fold card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph and Dot-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints. I cut notches into the side panel and tied some Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine around it into a bow. I stamped the Pelican in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on 110# Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with the coordinating die. I also stamped the stump with rope in Rich Cocoa ink on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it. I adhered the pelican and stump to the card front and then stamped the birds.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, trimmed it, and adhered it toward the top of the card front. The finishing touch was adding several neutral colored sequins that I picked out of the Picket Fence Studios Spiked Cider Sequins.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, embellished it with the Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph print used on the front, and stamped the sentiment in Rich Cocoa ink.

10/24/22 Top Pick at Make My Monday Challenge Blog

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day! Brrr, it’s a bit chilly here this morning but that’s how we like it! I’ve popped in this morning to share an awesome Tape Runner DT inspiration project! I created the most adorable rocket wiper card for our youngest grandboy who turned two a few weeks ago, and his mom said he loved it! This is my first wiper card and I used an SVG file from My Scrap Chick. And all panels were adhered with Tape Runner!

I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Gray cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and Doodlebug Design Dot-Stripe, Buffalo Check-Wood Grain and Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints. These prints from Doodlebug Design are some of my all-time favorites, and I wanted bright patterns for this card, so they definitely fit the bill! I used the Print and Cut function on my Scan N Cut for the sentiment, and I added several clear gemstones from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm clear Jewel Bling Strip. Here’s a shot of the wiper which appears when the sides are pulled out. So cute!

I used a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Birthday Sentiment Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Thank You Peonies

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in this morning with another awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share! This pretty thank you card features a tone-on-tone background with peonies die cut from our Basis cardstock in rich colors of red, gold, teal and dark purple! The Basis line is one of my favorites!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Basis Natural 110# cardstock. Next, I die cut the background from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Background die. Using the Simon Says Stamp Etched Peony Blossom die, I die cut peonies from Basis Red, Basis Gold, Basis Teal and Basis Dark Purple, adhered them to the card front (trimming the edges as needed) and then adhered the panel to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink, fussy cut the outline, and adhered it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones (colored with an ivory alcohol marker) from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm clear Jewel Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial ivory and embellished it with strips cut from Basis Dark Purple and Basis Teal along with a leftover piece of a die cut peony used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink and layered the panel on teal cardstock.
