HO HO HO

Hey everybody – happy Monday! I hope you had a most excellent weekend! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a shaped snowglobe card that I created for the Scrapbook Adhesives collaboration with Trinity Stamps. I used the super cute Snowglobe Card Die Set and North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set along with some of the best adhesives in the land to put it all together! I LOVE shaped cards and I totally love how this turned out!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to visit the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog to see my tutorial if you want to see how I made this. As mentioned above, I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card Die Set along with Solar White cardstock (in both 110# and 80# weights) for the entire card, coloring the snowglobe base, cabin, and trees with a variety of markers. You can’t see it too well in the photos but I used Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist over the background for a little snowy shimmer.

The lil’ gnome dude and sentiment on the base are from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Onyx Black, and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Eucalyptus inks. And I employed my new favorite ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique using small circles from our 3D Foam Christmas Shapes with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. So fun!

The inside sentiment is another one from the Trinity Stamps North Pole Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Baby’s 1st Christmas

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a good one! I’m delighted to share a festive Baby’s 1st Christmas card for Keep It Simple which features our KIS Cuts Baby Romper Card Dies and Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I also used the KIS Cuts Ford Font Double Cut Dies, Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies, KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies and KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die. Whew… LOTS of dies! I totally love shaped cards and thoroughly enjoyed making this.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with all the romper layers from assorted prints in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I used a few of our small Adhesive Basics foam squares to add a little dimension to the crotch flap. I used the KIS Cuts Ford Font Double Cut Dies for the sentiment on the front.

I used the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies and KIS Cuts Christmas Sentiments Dies for the sentiment and panel on the inside. Then, I added a gift card pocket on the back using the KIS Cuts Gift Card Pocket Die. This was definitely a fun one to put together!

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday – I hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend and were able to have some fun without getting too hot and sweaty, lol! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Sewing Machine dies! OMGoodness, you know how I love me some shaped cards and I really had a blast putting this together! I also used stamps, dies and die cut pieces from our new Cheerful Cottage collection along with several colors of patterned papers from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs.

Using the main die in the KIS Cuts Sewing Machine die set, I cut a top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock by sliding the top edge of the die just above the folded edge of the cardstock. Then I cut all the decorative elements from prints in our Back To Basics Lilac, Rose, Lemon, Jade and Kraft 6×9 Collection Packs (with an extra set of Rose colored flowers for the inside).

Using the Cheerful Cottage Collection Stamps, I stamped the front sentiment and an inside embellishment in Versafine Onyx Black ink on CutCardStock Natural Translucent Vellum. I heat embossed them with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder and cut them with the coordinating Cheerful Cottage Outline Dies. Of course, as I always say, the assembly was the most fun!

Using the same main die from the set, I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with the extra set of flowers and the stamped, embossed and die cut element. I used a sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, and the card was done. I LOVE how this turned out!

Happy Birthday Hat

Hey everybody, Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute birthday card that looks like a hat! I have a friend who uses ordinary stand-alone dies to make fun and creative cards and I challenged myself to do the same. I used our Lessebo Brick Orange, Silk Glitter Opulent Opal, and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. You are going to love how easy this card is to create!

I totally love the Love From Lizi shaped die sets because there are a HUGE number of dies in them which makes layering super easy. Using the largest die in the Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies, I cut the card base from Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock. Using the second largest die in the set, I cut a layering panel for the brim from an orange floral paper in the Doodlebug Design Floral-Graph Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 paper pad.

I pulled out the Love From Lizi Stitched Oval Nested Cutting Dies and cut two ovals (the same size, using the 8th largest die in the set) for the top of the hat. I used the Scrapbook.com Bow Toppers Dies to cut several bows from our Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock which I layered together for stability. The reason I cut several bow is because I initially couldn’t decide which one I wanted to use, so I gave myself some choices, lol!

I used the My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 stamp set (one of my all-time favorites) for the sentiment which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Orange Peel ink. I added some iridescent gemstones colored with a YR16 Copic Ciao alcohol marker.

Using the second largest die in the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies, I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and cut it in half. I embellished it with a narrow strip of the floral paper used on the front and stamped another sentiment from that awesome My Favorite Things stamp set. Love, love, love this card – and I can see many more of these in my future! Be sure to check out my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog and please let me know if you make one!

Best Dad Ever

Hey y’all, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the awesome Vintage Plaid papers and Occasional Greetings stamp set. I also used our Midnight and Jack O Lantern cardstock along with our Super Sentimental stamp set to make this incredible shirt card come to life. It’s my own fun fold/shape card design and I’m happy to share my instructions with anyone who would like to have them. The Freebies page on my blog is not available right now so use the email address on my Contact page to let me know you’d like to have them. ;)

I cut the shirt card base from Midnight cardstock along with layering panels from an orange and blue plaid (LOVE!) from our Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Pack. I used Eyelet Outlet blue gemstones for the buttons. I stamped the sentiment from our Occasional Greetings Stamp Set on a Jack O Lantern cardstock scrap in Raven ink and punched it with a Stampin’ Up 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. I die cut a slightly larger circle (using the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies) from Midnight cardstock, layered them together, and affixed the sentiment to the shirt front on adhesive foam squares.

I cut the inside panel from Perfect Blend cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the plaid paper used on the front. The finishing touch was stamping a sentiment from our Super Sentimental Stamp Set in Raven ink.

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a good one! We’ve been super busy with our move from Colorado to Iowa but once we’re settled in our new house, it’ll be business as usual, lol! I have THE cutest Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today… a camera shaped card featuring our new KIS Cuts Camera dies that launched just two days ago. This card has no stamping, and as much as I LOVE to stamp, it’s always fun to watch a card with no stamping come together! I love how this turned out and believe it would surely make the recipient smile!

Using the dies in the KIS Cuts Camera dies, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with all the camera pieces from assorted prints in the new Back To Basics Black & White 6×9 Collection Pack and the Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. I also pulled out the Back To Basics Polaroids & Words Die Set and cut the sentiments from papers in the Ruby collection. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Black Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with the red paper die cuts. So stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it! You HAVE to check out these dies!

Dad We Love You

Hey everybody, another wish for a happy Friday since this is my second post of the day! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute shirt card for Dad which is my own design. It’s super easy and really packs a punch. You can dress it up or down, and make it masculine, feminine or kid-friendly. I used Misty Blue and Navy Blue from our Lessebo line along with my studio staple Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. Be sure to pop over to the blog and see my tutorial if you’d like to learn how to make this fun card!

I cut the card base from Lessebo Misty Blue cardstock and then cut the pieces for the front, sleeve, collar and placket from a plaid print in the Craft Consortium Tartan paper pad. I totally LOVE plaids for masculine shirt cards! I added Keep It Simple Back To Basics Royal Enamel Dots for the buttons along with a sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp set which I stamped on a Misty Blue cardstock scrap in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I cut it with a Love From Lizi Stitched Label Nested Cutting Die and layered it on a slightly larger label die cut which I cut from Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the plaid paper used on the front. I stamped another Brutus Monroe sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in the blue ink, and this completed the card.

Thinking of you

Happy Wednesday, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a hexagon shaped card to send a little cheer. As you know, fun folds are my most favorite kind of cards to make, and next in line at the top of that list are shaped cards. They are so fun and really pack a punch. I used our Neenah Fluorescent White Cotton cardstock for the stenciled climbing rose panel. Next up are Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Jellybean Green. And, of course, I used my studio staple Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (110# and 80# weights) for my card base and inside panel. Oh, and there’s a tiny bit of our Glama Natural Translucent Vellum under that front sentiment. ;)

Using the Honey Bee Climbing Rose stencils and Ranger crackling campfire and peeled paint distress inks along with a couple blending brushes, I created the focal panel. I gotta tell you that the Neenah Fluorescent White Cotton cardstock is FABulous for inking. Next, I used the Sizzix Belinda Stitched Hexagons Fanciful Framelits to cut the card base and a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White, the inside panel from 80# Solar White, a couple layering panels from Pop Tone Tangy Orange, and a couple layering panels from Pop Tone Jellybean Green.

Using the same hexagon die set, I die cut a stitched hexagon panel from the stenciled climbing rose piece. Then I trimmed a 1/8″ frame from the outside of the leftover negative space of the hexagon shape for a little interest. I adhered the extra Solar White panel to the front of the card base, and then one of the Tangy Orange panels to the back of the card base. I layered a Jellybean Green panel and the frame to the other orange panel, popping it up on foam strips.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Fall Swags stamp set in Memento Morocco ink on a scrap piece of Solar White. I cut it with the coordinating die and added it to a scrap of Glama Natural Translucent Vellum, trimming around the die cut and popping it up on a foam strip. The finishing touch was adding a few clear gemstones.

I embellished the 80# Solar White panel for the inside with a leftover piece of the stenciled climbing rose panel and a very thin strip of Jellybean Green cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Honey Bee Fall Swags stamp set in Morocco ink and layered the panel on the remaining green panel.

Thank You Snow Much

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! It seems like the weeks are flying by this year just as quickly as last year, lol! I’m up on the Emily Moore Designs blog today with a DT inspiration project featuring our Ornament Gift Card Holder Die. We always need cards to thank those who sent Christmas gifts, and this die is perfect! This shaped card opens at the top and has a foiled panel adhered to the front where a gift card would go. When the card is opened, the gift card is on the inside covering a sentiment/signature panel. How fun to give a gift for receiving a gift, although this design could be made with or without a gift card. So stinkin’ cute!

I created a top-folding card base from Solar White cardstock using the Ornament Gift Card Holder Die. This is easy to do with just about any die by making sure it’s positioned slightly over the fold in the cardstock so the cardstock is not cut entirely in two. I cut the front and inside panels from Hot Off The Press Snowfall double-sided papers and adhered them to the card base. I cut the ornament top from CutCardStock Silver Glitter cardstock and colored it with a BT5 alcohol marker to match the patterned paper.

I ran a Pajama Crafter Stamps Chillin’ Flashcard through my Scotch Laminator with a piece of Therm O Web Deco Foil Glass Slipper foil and trimmed it the size of a gift card. I added a tiny clear gemstone colored with a BT5 alcohol marker and adhered the flashcard to the card front in the spot where a gift card would go. I die cut a loop and charm from CutCardStock Bright Silver Foil cardstock and embellished it with a tiny clear gemstone also colored with the BT5 alcohol marker.

For the inside, I cut a signature panel slightly smaller than the size of a gift card and adhered it in the center where it would be hidden beneath the gift card. I added a sentiment cut out from the Snowfall paper pack, which completed the project.

Hey everybody, happy Saturday! Dang, not that I’m complaining, but the weekends seem to roll around faster and faster, don’t they?! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our NEW Little Dreamer Collection! OMGosh, this collection was just released yesterday and I love it so much! I don’t have a whole lot of baby-themed papers, stamps and ephemera in my stash and when I saw this, I was totally in love! And of course, I HAD to use our KIS Cuts Baby Romper dies with it because I love shaped cards! Seriously, how cute is this?!

Using the KIS Cuts Baby Romper Card die set, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels for the romper from prints in the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack and our Back To Basics Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I embellished the romper with Back To Basics Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots on the bottom flap and several little flowers in assorted colors from the Little Dreamer Die Cut Pieces popped up on adhesive foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Little Dreamer Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Rose Petals ink and cut it with the coordinating Outline Die. The finishing touch was adding a tiny iridescent gemstone to the center of each flower.

For the inside, I cut a circle using a Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Die and stamped a sentiment from the Collection Stamps in the Rose Petals ink. I added a little shimmer to the hearts with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen.
