way to go!

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! We are SO enjoying the cooler weather that’s finally arrived here! I’ve popped in today to share a congrats shaker card for Keep It Simple featuring our embossed squares dies that were released back in May, I believe. This offset stacked squares design was a fun one that yields some great dimension. And, of course, who doesn’t love a shaker?!

I cut a square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with four square layering panels which I die cut from 80# Solar White, teal, lime and lemon paper from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs using four of the embossed squares dies.

I created a shaker from the smallest square, adding Metallic Crush Rivers Edge and 2mm Beads Clear Caviar Glass from our Sprinkles line. I added a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, along with teal and white enamel dots, which completed the card front.

I die cut two square layering panels for the inside from the 80# Solar White and teal paper using two of the embossed squares dies. I stamped another sentiment from the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, and this card was complete.

Hi friends! Is the weather cooling off any where you are? We’ve seen a slight drop in our nighttime temps but still have a bit of humidity. Nothing major, though. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Viva Mexico collection along with a few varieties of our Sprinkles! Who doesn’t love a shaker card?! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating with these pretty papers and thought a fun ‘happy birthday’ card was in order (that’s the definition of the post title)! ;)

I used a pre-scored 110# Solar White card base from CutCardStock (they are SO handy to have) and then cut layering panels from assorted prints in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I used the A2 Shaker Frame #2 for the main frame, cut from 110# Solar White. I used a Shaker Basics acetate sheet, three varieties of our Sprinkles, and our Adhesive Basics Strips to create the three-compartment shaker. I stamped the image and sentiment on Solar White cardstock as well and colored the image with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I added a few details with my Stampin’ Up! white gel pen.

I cut an inside panel from the blue patterned paper used on the front (from the 12×12 Collection Pack) along with a couple frames using the A2 Shaker Frame #2 and #3 die sets. To complete the card, I added an additional ‘all the best’ sentiment along with another stamped and die cut image.

Squeeze the Day

Hi friends! Well, another Friday has rolled around and we’re now into the first week of August. How is that even possible?! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for #362 – Add A Sentiment. I used the Dreaming Tree Lemonade Shaker SVG cut file and although it took a little more work to assemble, it was an absolute delight to make. I LOVE shaker cards (and shaped cards), so this was definitely a win-win! And I love the fact that this one has die cut pieces mixed in with the shaker bits!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Dreaming Tree Lemonade Shaker Card SVG cut file, I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red, Lessebo Granite Gray, Granny Smith, Bazzill Peach, Blue Hydrangea, Pop Tone Lemon Drop, Bright Silver Foil, Stardream Metallic Pluto, Rubber Ducky Yellow, and Cougar 100# Smooth White and 80# Smooth White cardstock, as well as a couple patterned papers from the Carta Bella Beach Party Collection Kit. I cut the envelope from a gingham print in the Simple Stories Wood & Gingham Basics 12×12 paper pad.

Here’s a shot of the inside, and admittedly I’m not thrilled with it. I got interrupted and when I came back to my craft table, I absent-mindedly adhered the panel before I stamped the sentiment (from the Hero Arts To Seize or Not To Seize stamp set). *sigh* So I ended up stamping it in Versafine Onyx Black ink on a scrap piece of the peach cardstock and fussy cutting it. All crafters blunder from time to time (bahahaha), right?! All in all, though, it’s really a fun card and I love how it turned out!

Celebrating America

Howdy, peeps – I hope your week has started off nicely! I have one last Independence day project for ScrapbookingStore to share that I created with items in the July 2026 Scrapbook Kit! Our nation’s 250th birthday celebration just wouldn’t be complete without a shaker card with red, white and blue star sequins, right?! I created a full-face shaker using leftover cellophane packaging which is so much easier to work with and lays flatter than traditional acetate. This shaker card features a trimmed journaling card, a paper strip, and stickers from this month’s kit, all adhered to a 4″ x 6″ flat card base.

I cut a 4” x 6” postcard size flat card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I formed a shaker pocket with leftover packaging cellophane adhered to the back-side edges of a trimmed journaling card from the kit. I added the red, white and blue star sequins (from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Sprinkles line), sealed the pocket, and adhered the shaker to the postcard base. I added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet which completed the shaker front. 

For the back, I added a paper strip to the bottom along with a few more stickers (banner, stars and a sentiment) from the sticker sheet. What a delightful shaker card… the grand finale of projects made with this amazing kit! ;)

dream BIG little one

Hi friends, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a great one! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today… a super cute star shaker card featuring our new KIS Cuts: Stitched Stars dies, an assortment of 12×12 papers from our Back To Basics line, Little Dreamer 6×9 papers and die cut pieces, Floral Baby Land Babies stamps and dies, and some pretty Sprinkles! To say this was FUN is an understatement… who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

I cut the top-folding square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. Using a Stitched Star die, I cut an aperture into the plaid panel. I then cut a frame from a paper in the Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack using that same die and one slightly larger.

I used adhesive strips and acetate to create the shaker, filling it with beads and polymer clay Sprinkles. I also cut a bunch of tiny stars (using the smallest Stitched Star die) from green, pink, yellow, lilac and blue papers in the 12×12 Collection Packs listed below which I included in the shaker filler. Lastly, stamped a sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Floral Baby Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of paper from the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps and cut it with the coordinating die. The final step was adding a star die cut from the Little Dreamer Die Cut Pieces. Love, love, love how this turned out!

Happy Birthday shaker

Howdy peeps, happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles. I also used papers, stamps and dies from our Happy Birthday collection and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line to make this super cute birthday shaker! I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

Our new nested stitched scallop dies are large, so I pulled out my oversized die cutting machine and cut a large scallop square (from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares) from Solar White cardstock, scored it, and folded it in half. I grabbed a scallop rectangle die from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles and cut two from coordinating prints in the Happy Birthday collection. I cut a rectangular aperture in the yellow one with a Back To Basics Nested Stitched Rectangles Die and made a shaker.

I used acetate and foam strips from our Back To Basics line along with Polymer Clay Mini Pastel Confetti, Polymer Clay Rainbow Mix Hollow Circles, Sequins Arctic Hearts, and 2mm Beads Pearls for the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Happy Birthday Collection Stamps, colored the images with a variety of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and the same yellow print used on the front, and added stamped and die cut sentiments and an image colored with markers. Such a fun card to make!

Bee you tiful

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a Terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in to share one more booth sample I created for Keep It Simple. I’ve made several shaped cards and a fun fold featuring some of our older die sets used with some of our newer collections, and posted the other four a few days ago, pointing everyone to the KIS Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March.

So this last sample is a shaker (who doesn’t love shaker cards?!) and it features our KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies along with papers and die cut pieces from the Life Is Sweet collection. Today is the last day of National Craft Month and this card, along with several other shaker projects my fellow DT members made, is being used in the shaker Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram. Be sure to check it out – there’s a whole lotta fun in all of our shaker projects!

I cut the card base from 110# Solar White along with all the other pieces for this shaped shaker card from assorted prints in the Life Is Sweet 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. I grabbed some die cuts from the Life Is Sweet Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. To create the shaker, I used acetate from our Shaker Basics line, foam strips from our Adhesive Basics line, and a variety of Sprinkles for the shaker mix.

I embellished the inside with a couple more pieces cut with the Freshly Brewed dies a couple more die cut pieces. So stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it! LOVE how this turned out!

sew happy

Hey everybody, happy Monday! Everybody hates Mondays and it’s the LAST one you’ll have to wake up to go to work on this year! I’m thrilled to share this particular project for Keep It Simple because it features TWO really fun elements. There’s a shaker tag on the front and a pop-up gift bag on the inside! Yep, a gift bag that holds a gift card (or cash or even a small folded card)! It’s been 5-1/2 years since I made one of these (post is HERE if you want to see it) and I added a closure to this gift bag which I didn’t do on the last one. But how cute is this?! I used papers, stamps and die cut pieces from our Cheerful Cottage collection (LOVE!), along with our Shaker Tag Dies and papers from our Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Pack.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Natural White Recycled cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Cheerful Cottage and Back To Basics Mango 12×12 Collection Packs. To make the tag for the front, I used our KIS Cuts Tags #1 and Cheerful Cottage papers and die cut pieces, along with Back To Basics Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips, Back To Basics Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Sheets and Back To Basics Mango Ribbon (tied with Lawn Fawn white hemp twine). I used Sprinkles (Rivers Edge Metallic Crush and Yellow Caviar Glass Beads) and a few die cut pieces for the shaker bits.

I used faux stitching and sentiment stamps from the Cheerful Cottage collection, a sentiment border from the bonus cut-apart sheet, and a Back To Basics Epoxy Circle on the front. I totally love shakers and this tag shaker is really fun!

I fashioned the pop-up gift bag on the inside from a floral print in the Cheerful Cottage collection, using Lawn Fawn white hemp twine for the handles, and embellished the magnet closure with a Crafty Girls button. I stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set in brown ink and embellished the panel with a button die cut piece, and this completed the inside.

I totally LOVE how this turned out! Now you can see why I was so excited to share this card with you!

Snow Much Fun shaker

Howdy peeps! I hope my friends in the States had a beautiful Thanksgiving; otherwise, wishing a great weekend ahead for everybody! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Winter/Christmas-themed snowglobe shaker card in non-traditional pastel colors. The Scrapbook Adhesives design team was invited to collaborate with Trinity Stamps. How fun is that?! I used some of their dies and stamps, and of course, lots of amazing Scrapbook Adhesives products to put it all together!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to check out my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if want to see how I made this fun card. The 5-1/4″ square base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with patterned papers from the My Favorite Things cheerful Plaid and Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pads. I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card die set and Sledding Fun stamp set, and my shaker bits are iridescent snowflakes from Eyelet Outlet.

I brought this card to life by using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips, E-Z Dots, 3D Foam Strips, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Circles, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Metallic Pastel Colors Transfer Foil Sheets – all from Scrapbook Adhesives. The finishing touch was adding some embellishments to the sentiment strip that I created using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of the pastel plaid used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock.

Hey everybody, happy Monday! – I hope you had a good weekend! We thought we were going to get some snow but it never happened. It’s been nice and chilly, though… just how we like it! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today – a shaker card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new Barnyard Bliss collection, along with our Shaker Frames A2 Frames #2, some of our foam, acetate and adhesive squares, and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line! Y’all, this is one of THE cutest collections ever!

I cut a side-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with layering panels and a shaker frame from coordinating prints from the Barnyard Bliss collection. Of course, I used foam and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics which I filled with Snow White Fine Crushed Glass, Dandelion Hearts Sequins and Matte Dark Orange 2mm Beads from our Sprinkles line. I also threw in some small die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection and used a couple to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a couple more Barnyard Bliss die cut pieces, popping the heart up on a foam square from our Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips.
