Squeeze the Day

08/08/26 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

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!

Here We Grow

Hi friends – I hope you’re having a great day and it’s not too hot where you are! I have THE cutest Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today. I totally love the flower pot pocket card, so I decided to make one using one of our newer collections. This adorable card features papers, stamps and dies from our Bugs collection, and makes such a fun card for a kid… or a kid-at-heart adult! That caterpillar is beyond cute!

I cut the card base and pull-up card from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Bugs 6×9 collection pack. I used 165# Solar White to layer onto the pull-up card. I grabbed a KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle die to cut the scallop edge and then tied some Back To Basics Jute Twine around the card.

I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Bugs Collections stamps on 80# Solar White cardstock and colored them with a variety of markers. I cut them with the coordinating Outline dies and popped a few of them up on our Back To Basics Adhesive Squares.

All that was left to do was stamp a sentiment on the pull-up card. Is that not the cutest card ever?! Love how this one turned out! The next one I make I think I will use acetate on the top portion of the pull-up card. ;)

Sassy Happy Birthday

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a nice start! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a stenciled birthday card. Birthday cards seem to be needed more than cards for any other occasion, so I came up with a design that would be easy to mass-produce to have multiples on hand. Plus I love a shaped card, so that’s a bonus! I used several products from my stash (an older Cat’s Pajama sentiment stamp set but specifically Emily Moore Designs stencils and dies that I hadn’t gotten around to using yet) along with a variety of cardstock from CutCardStock which I’ll list below. I really love how this turned out!

I won’t go into a whole lot of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you’d like to know more. I used Lessebo Pitch Black and Mantis Green for the card base and front layer. I used Emily Moore Designs Field of Flowers layered stencils along with picked raspberry, abandoned coral, fossilized amber, twisted citron, and lucky clover distress oxides to stencil the focal panel.

The sentiment pieces were cut from Poodle Skirt Pink, Lessebo Pitch Black, 80# Solar White and 165# Double Thick Solar White. The diagonal embellishing strips were cut from Poodle Skirt Pink, Flamingo and Yellow Jacket, then muted with Glama Natural Translucent vellum. I did this because the distress oxide colors on the focal panel lightened up quite a bit as they dried and the strips ended up being too bright.

The inside panel was cut from 80# Solar White, embellished with a leftover strip of the stenciled focal panel on the front, and then layered on Mantis Green. That awesome stamp is from The Cat’s Pajamas, and that sentiment is what made this card sassy! And I love it!

Hello Summer

06/13/26 Rising Star honor at A Place To Start!

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Any fun plans for the weekend? I’m sure I’ll be inside in the air conditioning crafting away… my most favorite thing to do! I have one more ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you created with items in the June 2026 Scrapbooking Kit. You know I love shaped cards almost as much as fun folds, and this 10-minute shaped card features paper, a journaling card and a sticker from this month’s collection. Shaped cards can be made in literally any shape. I used the Emma Create-A-Card Dies from Crafter’s Companion because I love this shape!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock along with a slightly smaller panel from a print in the collection. Next, I cut a journaling card with an even smaller die in the set which I popped up on thin 3D foam squares for just a tad bit of dimension. The finishing touch was adding a few Stampin’ Up Rhinestone Basics Jewels.

The inside was just as simple – I cut a slightly smaller panel from the same print used on the front and then added an even smaller panel cut from 80# Solar White cardstock. I added a sentiment sticker and BOOM, that finished the card! So fun and easy!

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Father’s Day shirt card. Father’s Day will be here in a few weeks and I thought I’d break out my own shirt card design again this year. Don’t groan because I know I inundated you with shirt cards last year, in several different designs besides my own and for several different occasions! Bahahaha! But this one is a little different in that it showcases the Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique known only to Scrapbook Adhesives! And, of course, I used a few of their amazing adhesives to put it together.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if you want to see how it is made. That is, if you didn’t grab the instructions last year, lol! I used CutCardStock Sandcastle and Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock along with a masculine plaid print from the Craft Consortium Tartan 6×6 double-sided paper pad.

The Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside technique came into play with the buttons. I pressed the bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors onto the 3D Foam Circles Black Mix (after removing the liner) to create the buttons. I added a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp and die set.

I cut the inside panel from the Sandcastle cardstock and layered it on CutCardStock Lessebo Hunter Green. I embellished the panel with some the plaid used to make the shirt and stamped another sentiment, this one from the Brutus Monroe Super Sentimental stamp set.

Psalm 147:4

Hey everybody, I hope your week is rolling along nicely! Can you believe we’re nearing the end of May already?! As mentioned a couple weeks ago, I was invited to guest design for Word Art Wednesday. Their challenges are every two weeks, so I’m back with another beautiful scripture to incorporate into my project. Newton’s Nook is the sponsor for Anything Goes – Weeks 754-755. This scripture teaches that God knows each and every person by name and he has immense love for the brokenhearted and those with personal struggles and anxiety. I made a ‘thinking of you’ card, and since I always love a shaped card, that’s the direction I took. And keeping in line with the scripture, I added some die cut stars as well.

Using the Crafter’s Companion Die’Sire Ruth Create-A-Card dies, I cut the card base and layering panels from Classic Crest Patriot Blue cardstock and a pretty plaid print from the Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit. I printed the scripture on 80# Solar White cardstock and cut it with a smaller die in the card die set. I added several stars (cut with the KIS Cuts: Stitched Stars) which I cut from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Visa and a scrap of the Patriot Blue. I did pop the large one up on a Scrapbook Adhesives Thin 3D Foam Square.

Using the same card die set, I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and stamped a sentiment from the KIS Sentiment Stamps: Sunshine & Rainbows in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I added a few more die cut stars which completed the card. LOVE how this turned out!

05/01/26 Top Pick at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog!

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!

Howdy peeps! I’m back with the third of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable vintage truck shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the Back To Basics Vintage Truck dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Barnyard Bliss collection.

Using the Back To Basics Vintage Truck dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Coffee Bean cardstock by placing the die slightly above the fold line on the cardstock so the card base wouldn’t be cut in two. I cut all the pieces for the truck from assorted prints in the Barnyard Bliss collection and the Back To Basics Kraft and Black & White 6×9 Collection Packs. Then the fun began adding all the sweet little critter die cut pieces which I popped up in varying degrees with foam squares. I used Back To Basics Ruby Enamel Dots for the tail lights.

I used a Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Die to cut the sentiment panel from CutCardStock Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock, and stamped a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink.

Hey everybody! Okay, this is the second of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable party dress shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the Back To Basics Party Dress dies along with papers, stamps and dies from our Cheerful Cottage collection.

Using the Back To Basics Party Dress dies, I cut the card base from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock and all the pieces of the party dress from a gorgeous floral print in the Cheerful Cottage collection. Adhering the pieces is like putting a puzzle together – so much fun! I used the Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch to layer the gold flower on which I embellished with a Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dot. The sentiment is from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set which I trimmed and added with foam squares.

I layered a pink plaid print from the Cheerful Cottage collection on the inside. A Back To Basics Stitched Ovals Nested Die was used to cut the sentiment panel, and the sentiment is another one from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I totally love how this turned out!

Hi friends! This is the first of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this adorable camper shaped card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the KIS Cuts Camper dies along with papers, stamps and dies from our Wander collection.

I LOVE making shaped cards and this was so easy using the KIS Cuts Camper dies. Just position the base die slightly off the card base fold so it’s not cut in two. Then I cut all the pieces from coordinating prints in the Wander 12×12 Collection Pack and a black print in the Back To Basics Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the sentiment from the Wander Collection Stamps in black ink and cut it with the coordinating Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from the black print in the Black & White Collection Pack and added a stitched circle cut from Solar White cardstock using the Back To Basics Stitched Circles Nested Dies. The inside sentiment is also from the Wander Collection Stamps.
