Have a Ball

Hey everybody! Well, another weekend has come and gone – and can you believe we’re almost to the middle of May?! I’m stoked to be back with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the super awesome KIS Cuts Mason Jar and Mason Jar Sentiments which I paired with the Back To Basics Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack and Enamel Dots! And I also used a few pieces of the Polymer Clay-Hollow Circle Rainbow Mix from the new Sprinkles line as embellishments! I totally LOVE shaped cards and there are so many fun details in this mason jar die set!

Using the main die in the KIS Cuts Mason Jar set, I cut the shaped card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock. I cut the layers, shadow pieces and sentiment from coordinating papers in the Back To Basics Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack. I assembled the card, popping up the rim on 1-mm-thick foam squares and adding metallic silver thread with a bow and a Back To Basics Lilac Enamel Dot across the top. I stamped the small portion of the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment ink and added several pieces of the Polymer Clay-Hollow Circle Rainbow Mix Sprinkles as embellishments.

I stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Royal Treatment ink on the inside, which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Today is turning out to be another busy day on my blog, lol! I’ve popped in once more this morning to share a baby boy version of the new Keep It Simple Romper Card created with items in the new Floral Baby Collection! I shared a darling baby girl card about a week ago for Keep It Simple using these products with the promise that I’d soon share a boy version. These products were released on April 5th and I’m so smitten, I can’t stand it! In addition to the Baby Romper Card dies, I used papers from the 12×12 Collection Pack, Die Cut Pieces, and sentiments from both the Land Babies and Water Babies Collection Stamps.

I really don’t have many baby-themed items in my stash so I’m going crazy with ideas! If you like these Keep It Simple products and think you might want to go shopping, be sure 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 Baby Romper Card dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with the romper card elements from coordinating papers in the Floral Baby 12×12 Collection Pack and 12×12 Cardstock Shop Blue-Gray Textured cardstock. I added an elephant from the Die Cut Pieces and used two small enamel dots from the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Royal Enamel Dots on the bottom flap. I curved the sentiment from the Land Babies Collection Stamps just a tad on my MISTI and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cougar Smooth White, which completed the card front.

I embellished the inside with a stitched circle cut with a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die on which I stamped a sentiment from the Water Babies Collection Stamps in black ink. This was definitely a fun one!

Hey everybody, Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have THE most adorable inspiration project to share today for Keep It Simple! Our Romper Die and Floral Baby Collection debuted day before yesterday and talk about CUTE… I can’t even! There is a baby boy option for the romper along with papers in the collection that could easily be used for boy-themed projects, and I’ve whipped one up, so stay tuned! The Floral Baby Collection includes both Land Babies and Water Babies stamps, dies and die cut pieces, so be sure to check them all out. These are must-haves for your stash, for sure!

Using the KIS Cuts Baby Romper Card Dies, I cut the romper card base from CutCardStock Cougar 100# Smooth White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Floral Baby 12×12 Collection Pack. The most fun part of this kind of project is always the assembly… and this one has lots of fun details! I added a die cut flower just below the collar and hearts from the Die Cut Pieces to the pockets.

I stamped sentiments from both the Land Babies and Water Babies stamps which I cut with the coordinating outline dies, and added two Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dots to the bottom flap. To the inside, I added a die cut circle (using the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies) embellished with a sentiment along with a heart and posies from the Die Cut Pieces.

Happy Tuesday, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! Has the weather warmed up any where you are? It’s still chilly here but we’re expected to have temps in the 60s this week so just maybe spring has sprung! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute watermelon thank you card featuring our new Lessebo cardstock along with my Cricut and a Dreaming Tree cut file. I used Lessebo Cherry Red, Pitch Black, Hunter Green and White cardstock, and also Cougar Smooth White cardstock for the envelope. This card is easy and works up fast, and would be adorable as a summer party invite! The sky is the limit! Be sure to visit the CutCardStock website this month for a variety of sales (one each week) on closeout and overstock items!

Using my Cricut and the Dreaming Tree Watermelon Card SVG cut file, I cut the card base and watermelon layer from Lessebo Cherry Red, the seed layer from Pitch Black, and the rind from Hunter Green and White. I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions One In A Melon stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The inside sentiment layer was cut from Lessebo White and I stamped another sentiment from the same Taylored Expressions stamp set.

Here’s a shot of the card with the envelope that I cut from Cougar Smooth White cardstock and the flap layer from Lessebo Hunter Green. So stinkin’ cute!

Here for the Shenanigans

Hey everybody! I hope your Monday is off to a great start! In the spirit of March being National Craft Month, I’ve popped in again this morning to share a fun St. Patrick’s Day card created with the Keep It Simple Vintage Truck Dies and papers and die cut pieces from the new Lucky Day Collection! The vintage truck dies are great for literally ANY holiday or occasion and they are always so fun to play with! And I love the Lucky Day Collection so much that I couldn’t resist making a truck card with these awesome products!

There is no minimum purchase requirement and no usage limits, AND it combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

The assembly is always the most fun, and this truck was exceptionally fun adding all the Lucky Phrases Die Cut Pieces… because I AM Irish!

I cut an additional truck shape piece from the print used on the front to cover the inside panel. I added a circle cut from Cougar Smooth White using a Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Die, and added several more die cut pieces. I really love how this turned out!

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you are having a great week! I’m delighted to be back today with another amazing ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the March Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! I’m totally smitten with all the patterned papers, stickers and floral-themed upgrades in this month’s kit AND I have quite a few purse SVG cut files in my arsenal, so it didn’t take me long to decide what one of my projects was going to be, lol! This is the first time I’ve used this particular cut file and I love how it turned out. This fun shaped card was easy to assemble, and I definitely see a few more of these in my future. ;)

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the SVG Cuts Luxury Handbags SVG cut file (specifically the Purse Card file), I cut the card base and front flap layer from two coordinating papers in the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. I cut the handles, front flap and envelope from American Crafts Blush cardstock. I assembled the card and added a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet as well as a flower from the Pink Paislee 5th & Monaco Embellishments in the upgrades.

The inside panel was cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock which I embellished with sentiment and floral stickers from the sticker sheet. I cut the envelope from the Blush cardstock.

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve had a fabulous week doing whatever it is you do… whether you work outside or at home, or whether you’re retired! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #79 – Anything Goes! Our challenges are always anything goes and we’d love for you join us! I created a cool friendship card featuring a die set I’ve had in my stash for a minute or three and have never used and awesome stamp sets from STAMPlorations and Altenew. I sent it to a very sweet artist friend just to let her know I was thinking about her. ;)

Using the palette die in the Spellbinders Painter’s Palette die set, I cut the card base and front layer from CutCardstock Desert Storm cardstock. Using the remaining dies in the set, I cut the paint blobs, brush and paint tube from CutCardStock Pop Tone Sweet Tooth, Pop Tone Banana Split, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Orange Fizz, Pop Tone Lemon Drop, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop Tone Blue Raspberry, Pop Tone Grape Jelly, Pop Tone Razzleberry, Blue Hydrangea, Royal Sundance Linen Midnight Blue, Royal Sundance Linen Burgundy, and Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock.

I stamped the front sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Altenew Mini Paintbox stamp set and the inside sentiment from the STAMPlorations Art Is stamp set. I totally love shaped cards and this one turned out so awesome!

happy purr-thday shaped card

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I’m delighted to bring you another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project today that I created with our new Build-A-House Collection! OMGosh, these products are phenomenal! You start with the basic Build-A-House die set and then you have the add-on Build-A-Dogouse, Build-A-Cathouse and Build-A-Birdhouse die sets with coordinating stamp sets! How fun is that?! I used the Build-A-House KIS Cuts, Build-A-Cathouse Stamps and Build-A-Cathouse KIS Cuts to create this shaped card! I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had playing with this collection! If you are inclined to shop at Keep It Simple, be sure 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!

I cut the shaped card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the Build-A-House KIS Cuts. I cut the double-decker base house pieces from papers in the Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Weathered Wood Background Stamp, I stamped a woodgrain pattern in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink on the upstairs and downstairs main pieces.

Using the Build-A-Cathouse KIS Cuts, I cut the cat from Solar White cardstock and colored the pieces with alcohol markers. Next, I cut the grass and cat bowl from papers in the Jade and Lemon 12×12 Collection Packs. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock in Twilight ink and fussy cut it.

I embellished the inside panel with papers from the Rose Collection used on the front and stamped a sentiment in Twilight ink.

Scrappy hugs,

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.
