Wine Bottle Card/Tag

Hey everybody! You up yet?! We are early risers and are up bright and early every morning, and this is actually my second post this morning! ;) This time I’m sharing a super adorable wine bottle card/tag created with the Red Wine Blue cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables! How stinkin’ cute is this?! It was so easy to make and I think it would be a hit on a bottle of wine taken to a 4th of July gathering!

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut all the pieces (plus extra background pieces) from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and CutCardStock Basis Navy, Basis Red and Silver Glitter cardstock. I created a card with the two navy pieces by scoring horizontally across the top of the back piece and adhering it to the front piece. Then I assembled the front and added navy blue twine for the hanger.

I trimmed off the tops of the extra red and white pieces, adhered them together and then to the inside of the card, and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.

And one more peek… OMGosh, I’m so smitten! I love this cut file and I’m sure I’ll be using it again and again! Such a fun project!

Vase of Flowers Gift Card Holder

Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY! I hope you’ve had a great week! I mentioned a couple days ago that I found a new online SVG store called Printable Cuttable Creatables, and I’ve created two more projects using her cut files that I’ll be sharing this morning. The first one is THE cutest gift card holder created with the Flower Vase Gift Card Holder cut file. It’s so bright and cheerful, and definitely a beautiful way to present a gift card for a birthday! I really enjoyed putting it together and watching it come to life!

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut all the pieces for the Flower Vase Gift Card Holder from CutCardStock Basis Dark Orange, Basis Gold, Basis Green, Basis Light Yellow, Basis Magenta, Basis Teal, Pop Tone Berrylicious, Pop Tone Cotton Candy, Pop Tone Grape Jelly, Pop Tone Grapesicle, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Camomile, and Scottish Highlands Green cardstock. Then the fun began with the assembly! I always love putting these projects together! I didn’t have a real gift card to use for the photo so I made one from a 80# Solar White cardstock scrap. I added a foiled and die cut sentiment created with a scrap of 110# Solar White cardstock and my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Glimmer Gold Foil and Glimmer Mini Everyday Sentiments Plate & Die Set. The finishing touch was coloring the flower centers with Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops.

And one more look… such a fun gift card holder that was an absolute delight to make! Can’t wait to send it to somebody now! ;)

Love is a Triple Fold Card

6/11/22 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!
6/13/22 Top Pick at Heart’s Quest Challenge Blog!

Hi peeps! I hope you’re having a great week – Friday is almost here! I’m back with another post this morning to share a fun fold card that I created to enter in my friend Becca’s relatively new Heart’s Quest Challenge Blog. The current Challenge #4 is to use a dark blue heart and lots of dark blue on project, and I think I’ve accomplished that with this triple fold card. This is a Valentine’s Day card created in non-traditional blues and features several die cuts, some very cool flowing ink cardstock and a super fun sentiment on the inside!

I cut the card base, a large stitched heart and the belly band from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, as well as layering panels from HOTP Flowing Ink double-sided cardstock which I adhered to the card base. I also cut an Eiffel Tower from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Aquamarine cardstock using the Hero Arts Paper Layering Eiffel Tower die which I adhered to the card front. I die cut two love circles from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Vista cardstock using the Taylored Expressions Ring Around the Words die. I adhered the stitched heart and one of the love circles to the card front, cutting along the edges of the flaps. I cut a belly band and layers from the Basis Navy and Flowing Ink cardstocks, and adhered part of the second love circle to it, lining it up with the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of HOTP Flowing Ink cardstock. I stamped the fun sentiment and heart from the STAMPlorations Funny Kinda Love stamp set in Catherine Pooler Tranquil and Cove Blue inks, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Vista cardstock.

And one more peek… this was such a fun card to create, and I’m so happy to have found Becca’s challenge! Come on over and check it out!

Happy Father’s Day

Hi everyone! Is it getting warm where you are? I’ve been seeing posts on Facebook from friends saying they are melting, lol! We reached 98 degrees out here yesterday, which is pretty warm but not horrible, because we don’t have a lot of humidity. So we survived pretty well, thankfully with A/C. I’ve popped in this morning to share an awesome Tape Runner DT inspiration project! I created another Father’s Day card, and of course, all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. This one has a little kraft cardstock tone-on-tone going on which I paired with red cardstock and blue ink for a nice masculine look.

As mentioned above, all panels were adhered with Tape Runner. Spray adhesive was used for the intricate die cut, and wet glue was used to adhere the gemstones. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Twine cardstock. Next, I cut a layering panel from the Twine cardstock along with a slightly larger layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock which I adhered together and then to the card base. Using the Tutti Designs Twisted Rope Background Die, I die cut the rope from the Twine cardstock as well, and adhered it to the card front. I stamped an Inspired by Stamping nautical tag and sentiment on the Twine cardstock in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes and Rockin’ Red inks, and cut it with the coordinating die from the Inspired by Stamping Fancy Label Dies 2 set. The finishing touch was adding several Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Twine cardstock, stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Special Thank You stamp set in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock.

And one more look… really happy with how this tone-on-tone design turned out, and I’m always happy with how well the panels adhere with Tape Runner!

Faux Metal Dangle Earrings

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! Dang, this week is flying by just as fast as all the rest! Hope you’re having a good one! As promised in yesterday’s post, I’ve stopped back in this morning with another project created with a cut file from Printable Cuttable Creatables! These faux metal dangle earrings were created from cardstock using the Classic Earring Set cut file and embellished with Nuvo Liquid Mercury Crystal Drops.

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut the three pieces for each earring from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock, Shadow Gray cardstock and Curious Metallic White Silver cardstock and adhered them together. I added dots of Nuvo Liquid Mercury Crystal Drops to each earring and set them aside to dry. I believe the intent is to let the pieces dangle individually but since I was using Crystal Drops as an embellishment, I decided to adhere them. Once dry, I added the jump rings, earring wires and rubber earring backs, which completed the project.

And one more look… these really did turn out great and I can’t wait to make more – I believe there are nine earring designs in this cut file! So fun!

Crazy BFF

Hey everybody! Another week is whizzing by in a super speedy fashion! Hope you’re having a good one! I’ve popped in this morning to share my last card created for the Prickley Pear Stamps new release! I created a total of 16 samples for this new release, so it has taken a minute to share them all, lol! I saved the most bright and cheerful card of the bunch to share last! Love, love, love this whimsical card featuring the Hey Girl Hey stamp set and the Woodgrain Slimline Background stamp.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with a layering panel from Colorbok hot pink Seeing Dots cardstock which I adhered to the card base. Using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board, I made a file folder panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock, stamped the woodgrain background in Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink, and hand-cut a strip of CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock to go around the edge. I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet wide flower washi tape and a narrow strip of the black cardstock, and adhered the panel to the card front. I stamped the chicken in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored her with alcohol markers, and fussy cut her. I added Glossy Accents to her eyes and set her aside to dry. I wanted to bring in more of the black cardstock, so I adhered the fussy cut image to a scrap piece of black cardstock and fussy cut it a second time, leaving just a tiny bit of black border. I adhered the image to the card front and stamped the sentiment in vertical fashion in black ink.

And one more look… super happy with how this turned out! I’ve had such a good time creating with all these stamps from the new release!

Be Kind note card

Hey everybody! I hope you had a great weekend and your week is looking pretty darn bright, too! I am delighted to share that I found a new-to-me SVG gettin’ place called Printable Cuttable Creatables, and if you love your electronic cutting machine and cut files like I do, you’re going to love Kristin’s designs so be sure to check it out! In addition to a ton of awesome designs, she gives amazing customer service and support! Highly recommend! I’ve had a chance to play with a couple of her cut files so I’ve popped in this morning to share one of them – a sweet rainbow-themed note card – created with the Rainbow Be Kind cut file!

I started by cutting all the pieces with my Scan N Cut from 110# Solar White cardstock, and colored the rainbow arches, heart and sentiment with alcohol markers. I always enjoy the assembly the most, and this one was no different! I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with a die cut scalloped rectangle using the My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX Die-namics. I also cut a plain stitched rectangle from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Fairway cardstock using the MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, which I adhered behind the scalloped die cut for just a little interest. Love that tiny bit of green peeking out around the scallops! Next, I layered a piece of green craft foam behind the rectangle and adhered it to the card base. I adhered the rainbow on Scotch 3M double-sided foam tape (the last of that giant roll that I bought several years ago) along with some Kat Scrappiness Sparkling Clear Heart Droplets, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panels from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Fairway cardstock and 80# Solar White cardstock using the MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics and the MFT Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, which I layered together. Since this is a note card, I left the inside blank with plenty of room to write a custom message.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! Such an adorable cut file that’s super easy to use – and the sky is the limit where colors are concerned! I’ll be using bright cardstock (red, orange, yellow, green and blue) for the next one! I’m thinking about a gift set, so stay tuned! ;)

6/11/22 – Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! We’re already a week into June and that just blows my mind! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Pop Tone cardstock that’s on sale this month so be sure to stock up! You can’t go wrong with the amazing colors to choose from! This 4th of July card I’m sharing uses Sweet Tooth and Wild Cherry cardstock with stamping in blue ink. This is a simple Americana design that would be super easy to mass produce!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base, layering panel and die cut stitched square from Pop Tone Sweet Tooth cardstock along with a layering panel and square from Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. Using the Deep Red Grunge Stars & Stripes rubber stamp and Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink, I randomly stamped the grunge flag over the white cardstock layering panel and then stamped the flag once on the die cut square. I spritzed the die cut square with Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist to add a little shimmer. I then adhered the stamped pieces to the red cardstock layers.

I stamped the sentiment from The Project Bin’s Red White and Boom stamp set in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink on the die cut square and then heat embossed it in Hero Arts Cherry Red embossing powder to make it stand out. I adhered the die cut square to the background panel and then adhered them to the front of the card base. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet red gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Pop Tone Sweet Tooth cardstock and embellished it with a couple leftover strips of Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in blue ink and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… really loving the Americana aspect of this card in white and red cardstock with stamping in blue ink!

Hey Girl

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend and you’re getting to do something fun! I’m sharing another friendship card for the Prickley Pear Stamps new release that I created with the Hey Girl Hey stamp set, the Chicken Wire Background stamp and the Slimline Woodgrain Background stamp! I thought these brightly-colored girls would look good on a chicken wire background stamped in gold ink – and they just had to have a frame around them! So stinkin’ cute! ;)

I cut a square top-folding card base and a layering panel from Baronial Ivory cardstock on which I stamped the chicken wire background in Delicata Golden Glitz ink. To create the frame, I stamped the woodgrain background on CutCardStock Twine cardstock, cut it into strips and inked the edges with Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink. I stamped the chickens on ivory cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers, and fussy cut them. I stamped the sentiment on an ivory cardstock scrap, trimmed them and layered them on CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock. I adhered the frame to the chicken wire background and then to the card base. Next, I adhered the chickens and sentiment, and added several Studio Katia Sparkling Crystals using my Trinity Pick Up Stick which completed the card front.

And one more peek… such a fun card created with a super fun stamp set! I just can’t get enough of these gals! ;)

Bee Happy Shaker Accordion Album

Hi peeps! Happy Saturday – I hope you had a great week! Can you believe we’re almost a week into June already?! I’m thrilled to be back on the Clear Scraps blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Bees are all the rage it seems so I created a fun bee-themed shaker accordion album featuring our Geo Pattern Wood Accordion Shaker Album and Mini Shaker Bee which happens to be one of the newer mini shakers in the store. Gotta love all these shaker compartments everywhere you look, lol! ;)

I had some digital papers in my stash with bees and sunflowers (my favorite flower) so I printed several of them to cover the album pages. I added space for photos and/or journaling on each page, with a flip-up, a couple tags and a side-flip, all embellished with cut-outs, die cuts, glitter washi tape and/or gemstones. I connected the pages with jute rope.

And one more look… really loving how this turned out! The album and mini shaker are such fun products to play with!
