hello Spring

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have a fun shaker card to share for Keep It Simple this morning featuring our new Melody Stories alpha stamps and dies! Have you ever made a shaker card with alpha die cuts? Well, I haven’t either – until now! It’s made just like a regular shaker card but with a bunch of alpha die cuts (and a few floral die cut pieces) instead of shaker bits, and I thought it would be a fun and unique way to showcase our new alphas! We have several new sets of alpha stamps and dies in the store, so be sure to check them out! And if you make a purchase, remember to use my code LoveToScrap2 for 10% off your entire order!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut layering panels and a frame for the shaker (using a Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Die) from coordinating papers in the Simply Spring 6×9 Collection Pack. I die cut a bunch of alphas using the KIS Cuts Melody Stories Font for the inside of the shaker and threw in a few flowers from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces.

Using the KIS Alphabet Stamps Melody Stories Font, I stamped ‘SPRING’ in black ink and die cut the letters with the coordinating KIS Cuts Melody Stories Font and adhered them in the bottom right corner. I grabbed a butterfly (and scored the wings) and the word ‘hello’ from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces and adhered them to the front of the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished it with strips from the floral pattern and white cardstock used on the front and a die cut from the Simply Spring Die Cut Pieces.

3/2/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! I hope you have a fun weekend planned! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the NEW Mason Jar and Accessories that launched yesterday along with some of the new Sprinkles in the store! OMGoodness, cuteness overload and so much fun! For my shaker card, I used the entire suite of Mason Jar products consisting of KIS Cuts Mason Jar, KIS Stamps Mason Jar Labels, KIS Cuts Mason Jar Labels and KIS Stamps Mason Jar Sentiments.

I also used some Polymer Clay and Beads from the Sprinkles line to fill the shaker, and of course I reached for the Rose 12×12 Collection Pack to use for the card base along with some heavyweight white cardstock! If you like these Keep It Simple products I’ve used and are inclined to shop, remember to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order! There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, plus the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

Using the KIS Cuts Mason Jar set, I cut a side-folding card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth White cardstock and all the mason jar layers from coordinating papers in the Back To Basics Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. As I always say, the assembly is the most fun, and Keep It Simple didn’t skimp on the details in this set! Just look at all those layers – it’s amazing!

I created a shaker mix from KIS Sprinkles Polymer Clay – Pink Strawberry & Jewels, KIS Sprinkles Beads – 2mm Matte Pale Pink, and KIS Sprinkles Beads – 2mm Caviar Glass Pale Pink. The final touch was adding a label stamped with KIS Stamps Mason Jar Sentiments and KIS Stamps Mason Jar Labels and then cut with KIS Cuts Mason Jar Labels.

I stamped another sentiment on the inside from the KIS Stamps Mason Jar Sentiments and embellished it with a die cut heart (die from the KIS Cuts Mason Jar Labels).

Hello shaker

Hi friends! Wow, can you believe it’s March 1st already! Has the weather started warming up any where you are? It’s still pretty chilly here but it’s not unbearable. Our new challenge is live this morning over at the newly re-structured Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for ConBC #6 – Anything Goes with Featured BINGO Card! I went with Column B this time and used the enamel dots, frame, shaker and clean and simple options for my card. I used two different kinds of confetti and a square shaker pouch from This Calls For Confetti along with some of my favorite sentiment dies from STAMPlorations!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a frame from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock using a My Favorite Things Stitched Mini Scalloped Square and a Keep It Simple Stitched Squares Nesting Die. Next, I trimmed a STAMPlorations Watercolor ATC Journaling Card to fit behind the frame and adhered it to the card base. I affixed a This Calls For Confetti square shaker pouch to the back side of the frame with 1/8″ red liner tape.

I added a pinch of Opalescent Island Blue Sequins and a pinch of Iridescent Clear Sequin Confetti (both from This Calls For Confetti) and sealed the shaker with foam strips. I added a sentiment cut from Solar White and Lagoon cardstock using the STAMPlorations Skinny Sentiments dies. The finishing touch was adding a few Eyelet Outlet White Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scalloped border cut from the Lagoon cardstock using a My Favorite Stamps Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Eden’s Garden stamp set in Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink.

Hugs & Kisses tag card

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week so far and it’s not too awfully cold where you are! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a Valentine tag card with a shaker! I used White, Cherry Red and Dawn Maroon cardstock from the new Lessebo line along with Pop Tone Cotton Candy and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal. I haven’t made a shaker card for a minute or three so I figured I’d do it up! Shakers are always fun to make and even more fun to receive!

Using the Prickley Pear Stamps Nesting Tag Dies, I cut a top-folding tag-shaped card base and layering panel from Lessebo White along with a tag-shaped layering panel from Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock. I embellished the front layer with strips cut from Lessebo White, Lessebo Cherry Red, Lessebo Dawn Maroon, Pop Tone Cotton Candy and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. I used the Heart Shaker Pouch Starter Kit (including the die) from This Calls For Confetti to cut the aperture into the front layer.

I stamped a sentiment from the My Favorite Things Lots of Hugs stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black centered over the aperture. I added shaker mix consisting of Buttons Galore & More Love & Kisses Sprinkletz Embellishments, Pitter Patter Doo Dadz Embellishments, and Love Story Half Pearlz Embellishments, and adhered the layer to the card base. The finishing touch was adding several flat-back pearls from the Buttons Galore & More Love Story Half Pearlz Embellishments. I also added a tiny bow fashioned from Prairie Bird Boutique red wrinkled ribbon using a wooden bow maker my awesome friend Mo sent me for Christmas!

I cut tag-shaped layers for the inside from Lessebo White and Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock using the same Nested Tag Dies and embellished the white one with a few leftover strips from the front. I stamped another sentiment from the My Favorite Things Lots of Hugs stamp set in black ink.

Dream BIG vellum shaker

Hey everybody! A very Happy Tuesday to you! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring our Stardream Metallic Onyx, Stardream Metallic Eris, Stardream Metallic Azalea and Glama Natural Translucent Vellum! I created a shaker with vellum which I’ve never tried before. I’ve seen quite a few vellum shakers which look really cool so I’ve been inspired to try it! And I always seem to have difficulty with glare hitting the acetate on traditional shakers so I figured using vellum might be a good thing! It turned out to be a great thing! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock along with a layering panel from Stardream Metallic Eris cardstock. Using the Tim Holtz Alterations Movers & Shapers Dream Magnetic Die along with the Base Tray, I die cut the large sentiment into the bottom portion of the Eris panel. I adhered a piece of Glama Natural Translucent Vellum behind the aperture and then applied double-sided foam strips. I adhered a strip of Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock to the bottom portion of the card base so that a muted pink would show through the shaker aperture.

I created a shaker mix with a small pinch of Kat Scrappiness Pearl Glass Dots, pink Queen & Co. Baby Beads Toppings and pink US Artquest Mini Prills, and adhered the shaker panel to the card base sealing the shaker mix inside. I stamped a sentiment word from the Dare 2B Artzy Dream Big stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock scrap, fussy cut it, and adhered it beneath the die cut sentiment. I completed the card front with several clear iridescent gemstones.

I have to say I like using the vellum! The shaker mix is subtly seen and heard through the vellum and there is no issue with glare. I’ll definitely be doing this again!

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of Stardream Metallic Onyx, Stardream Metallic Eris and Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same Dare 2B Artzy Dream Big stamp set in black ink, and layered the panel on Azalea cardstock.

Hey everybody! I hope your weather isn’t too cold where you are! We’re having some cold stuff here but that’s how we like it! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my inspiration project for MIUCB #68 – Anything Goes + optional Stamping! We’d love to see your project with rubber/clear stamps and no digis this time if you choose to play the twist. But remember, the twist is not necessary to play in our challenges – we’d be happy to see just an ‘anything goes’ project! I created a super cute and somewhat whimsical shaker card featuring some of my favorite STAMPlorations and This Calls For Confetti products in my stash. This card was for an online friend who is battling pancreatic cancer, and I believe she’s received it, so there’s no spoiler alert. My heart really goes out to this sweet lady; she is such an inspiration with her upbeat and positive attitude. I’m not sure how I would handle the situation she’s in, but she’s handling it with grace and dignity.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the lemon outline from the STAMPlorations Layered Citrus stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on the layering panel, cut around the perimeter, and adhered acetate behind the window with Scor-Tape. I then stamped the full color lemon in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello and Chiffon inks directly on the card base.

I stamped the sentiment (also from the Layered Citrus stamp set) in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Limoncello ink on the layering panel. I added tiny lemon slices from This Calls For Confetti Iced Pink Lemonade confetti and tiny white stars from The 80s Polymer Clay Mix, and adhered the layering panel to the card base with double-sided foam strips, closing up the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of Solar White cardstock and strips of CutCardStock Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Unity Stamp Co. Blossom By Blossom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and layered the panel on Lemon Drop cardstock.

Scrappy hugs,

sorry for the loss of your furry friend

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day! I have a card to share today that’s not for a design team project, if you can believe that! This is a pet sympathy card featuring a couple awesome products from This Calls For Confetti. I need to rebuild my pet sympathy card stash, as a sweet friend lost a dog several months back and I was so busy I wasn’t able to make a card to send. She was kind enough to send one to Ed and I a while back when we lost one of our cats and I felt awful that I didn’t reciprocate. It’s been nagging at me so I’m determined to make several pet sympathy cards to have in my stash going forward. Sympathy cards, in general, are not easy for me.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock along with a layering panel from a patterned paper in the Keep It Simple Mango 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Paper Smooches Feline Friends stamp set on the layering panel just above the aperture in Memento Morocco ink.

I used the smaller die included in the This Calls For Confetti Heart Shaker Kit to cut a heart into the bottom right corner of the layering panel. Using the larger die in the shaker kit, I cut a heart from a coordinating print and then die cut a paw print into that using the Paper Smooches Cat Icons die. I adhered a rectangular piece of a third coordinating print to the card base behind the heart die cut to be seen through the paw print.

I put a little glue around the back side of the heart aperture to hold the shaker pouch in place, then added a pinch of the Over The Rainbow Bridge confetti and sealed up the shaker while adhering the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of Cougar and the patterned paper from the Mango collection used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Mwah stamp set in Memento Morocco ink.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having great weather and you have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #67 – Anything Goes + optional Make Your Own Background! We’d love to see either you Anything Goes project or one playing the twist of making your own background! As always, the twist is not required to play! I created an inked background for this super cute shaker card featuring a message in a bottle!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# Solar White. I inked the layering panel with Catherine Pooler Tranquil, Stone Blue and Cove Blue inks, trimmed it, and cut a frame using a My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX die. Using the Stampin’ Up Whale Done stamp set, I stamped an underwater scene in Catherine Pooler Green Tea, Eucalyptus and Pink Champagne inks on the rectangle cut from the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Neat & Tangled Out of the Box stamps in the bottom right corner of the frame in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the bottle and message from the Spellbinders Message in a Bottle stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, inked the bottle, and cut both of the images with the coordinating Spellbinders Message in a Bottle dies. I assembled the shaker, using Kat Scrappiness 3mm and 4mm Sparkling Clear Droplets for the shaker mix.

I embellished a piece of 80# Solar White cardstock with a leftover piece of inked cardstock and cut a panel for the inside using the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX die. I stamped another sentiment from the Neat & Tangled Out of the Box stamps and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock.

8/12/23 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! Not sure where this year has gone but the months just continue to fly right on by! I’m delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, stamps and dies in the new Craft Mode Collection! This fun slimline shaker card features stamped and die cut craft supplies included in the shaker mix! How fun is that?!

I cut a 3-3/4″ x 9″ slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I then cut a layering panel from a pink print in the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Wavy Slimline Die, I cut a shaker panel for the front from a green print in the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack, reserving the negative spaces to use on the shaker, along with an acetate panel.

I stamped the scissors, tape, washi tape and glitter elements from the Craft Mode Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock. I colored them with fine point markers and cut them with the coordinating Craft Mode Outline Dies. I added Kat Scrappiness Crystal Clear Pinwheel Sequin Mix and Pearl Glass Dots along with the die cut craft supplies to the shaker and sealed it up. I stamped a sentiment from the same Craft Mode Stamps, trimmed it and adhered it to the top right corner of the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with the green patterned paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the At The Expo Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layered the panel on the pink patterned paper used on the front.

Happy Days!

Howdy peeps! Happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to be back to share another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m sure you know that shakers are high up on my list of favorite kinds of projects. This one features papers, stickers, and ephemera and chipboard from the upgrades, and is packed with different shaker mixes! I have to ask – is there such a thing as too much shaker mix in a shaker card?! Bahahaha!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a layering panel from a pretty pink striped print in the collection and grabbed a frame from the pack of ephemera in the upgrades for the shaker.

I used Kat Scrappiness Bubble Gum Sprinkles Sequin Mix, Crystal Clear Pinwheel Sequin Mix, and Pearl Glass Dots for the shaker mix, and added a chipboard tree from the upgrades to the front of the shaker element. I fussy cut a sentiment from a piece of ephemera which I embellished with dots from a Kirarina Wink White Pearl marker for a little interest. The finishing touch was adding a few more pieces of the Bubble Gum Sprinkles using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper in the kit. I added a sentiment sticker and layered the panel on the pink striped paper used on the front.
