Ho ho ho

Hey everybody, Happy Weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m stoked to share a DT inspiration project for Keep It Simple created with papers and die cut pieces from our Here Comes Santa Claus Collection! This is a super basic fun fold called a diagonal pocket card and it is really easy. I love creating Christmas cards and DIY gifts for Christmas and I love me some fun folds, so this was definitely a win-win!

I cut the A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock and sliced the front flap in half diagonally from top left down to bottom right. I added some wet glue along the very bottom edge of the diagonal flap and adhered it to the back flap. BOOM… super easy! I embellished the diagonal flap with papers and ephemera from the cut-apart sheet in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the corners of the focal panel with a Tonic Corner Punch and layered it on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I used an assortment of die cut pieces to embellish the focal panel, popping some of them up on adhesive foam squares. The finishing touch was adding a few Back to Basics White Enamel Dots.

I created a top folding card from the Jellybean Green cardstock to slip into the diagonal pocket, and cut the corners with the Tonic Corner Punch. I embellished the front and inside of the folded card with more papers and ephemera from the cut-apart sheet in the Here Comes Santa Claus 12×12 Collection Pack, as well as a few more die cut pieces.

Glittered Bookmark

Hi friends, another Friday has rolled around and I hope you’ve had a great week. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project with you today featuring our amazing Doodle Bookmarks, Lace Layers Nested Dies, and Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze. I really enjoyed making this because bookmarks are trending right now and they make such awesome DIY gifts. I used to read quite a bit myself (Nancy Drew mysteries were my favorite as a teenager, lol) but gave it up years ago after having kids and just never picked it back up. These Doodle Bookmarks are really fun to color and even more fun watching them come to life as you’re creating with them. And the Lace Layers die cuts really make them frilly!

I chose one of the Doodle Bookmarks in the package, colored it with Bic Mark-It markers, and rounded the corners. I coated the bookmark with Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze using my Deco Foil Stencil Pal and let it dry overnight. I cut two Lace Layers die cuts from Raven cardstock which I pieced together vertically, and then backed the whole bookmark on a panel of Not Your Mamas cardstock for stability. I ran a Tuxedo Black Bic Mark-It around the edge of the bookmark and the white panel so all the layers would blend together nicely.

I added a panel of Raven cardstock to the back of the bookmark and stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set in Alabaster White ink. The finishing touch was adding some purple ribbon which I tied with a piece of Lawn Fawn Black Hemp Twine.

Easter Makes Me Hoppy

Hi friends, a very happy Friday to you all! I hope you’re having a great week. Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases Challenge and I’m delighted to share my fun fold for Challenge #102. I created a six fold card and boy, oh boy, I see more of these in my future! My inspiration came from one of my most favorite sites, Splitcoast Stampers, and the tutorial is HERE if you’re interested in learning how to make this. It looks daunting but I promise you it’s is not. The sky is the limit as far as occasion, holiday, color palette, etc. It’s a super fun one, for sure!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, along with layering panels from an assortment of papers in the Echo Park It’s Easter Time Collection Kit.

I embellished all the sections with stickers from the sticker sheet, and used a chipboard phrase along with Keep It Simple Mango ribbon on the belly band.

And here’s one final shot of the card completely open. How stinkin’ fun is this?!

hello

Hi everyone, happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a pretty floral friendship card in a coral/peach/orange combo. Unfortunately, the Basis Coral cardstock I used is no longer on the website. However, any coral colored cardstock would compliment the Bazzill Peach Canvas Textured cardstock and Pop Tone Tangy Orange cardstock I used. I also used Altenew stamps and dies, crocheted lace and a scalloped border die from my stash.

I cut the card base from Basis Coral cardstock along with a layering panel and scalloped border (using the Sweet & Sassy Scalloped Border Die) from Bazzill Peach Canvas Textured cardstock. I cut a length of white crocheted ribbon and thin strip of Pop Tone Tangy Orange to go on top of the panel. I stamped the florals from the Altenew Mini Delights: Watering Can stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black, Lady Bug, Morocco and Rich Cocoa inks, colored the leaves with Copic Ciao alcohol markers, and fussy cut them.

I die cut the watering can from Basis Coral, Bazzill Basics Peach and Tangy Orange cardstock and assembled it. I used my Xacto knife to cut a slit in the top of the can, inserted the florals, and adhered the focal to the card front on adhesive foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from the same Altenew stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, fussy cut it and adhered it in the bottom right corner. The finishing touch was adding several Honey Bee Pastel Pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with an additional scalloped border die cut. I stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Fall Swags stamp set and cut it with the coordinating Fall Swags die. I layered the panel on Pop Tone Tangy Orange, which completed the card.

Let’s Party

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – can you believe it’s April already?! Whoosh… time is flying! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a delightful retirement card, because who doesn’t want to party when they retire?! This card features three items from the Hero Arts Let’s Celebrate Collection. I used the Celebrate Color Layering Stencils and Celebrate Clear Stamps along with the It’s Our Anniversary Stamp & Cut XL. You can’t go wrong with any occasion or color palette you choose. This collection is super versatile and off the chain!

I started by stamping the banners for the focal image (from the Hero Arts Celebrate clear stamps) on CutCardStock 100# Cougar Smooth White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Hero Arts Celebrate Color Layering Stencils with Ranger cracked pistachio, candied apple, fossilized amber and seedless preserves distress inks. I placed the panel back into the MISTI and stamped over top of the stenciled banners in Versafine Onyx Black ink to crisp up the outlines.

I grabbed a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base (sold by CutCardStock) – and I have to say these are pretty amazing! I used the Hero Arts It’s Our Anniversary Stamp & Cut XL and stamped the first part of the sentiment at the top of the panel. I then added the second part of the sentiment which I die cut from CutCardStock Plum cardstock along with the outline from CutCardStock Glama Natural Translucent Vellum. I cut the focal panel with a Pinkfresh Studio Postage Edge die and adhered it to a Plum background panel and then to the card base. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and layered it on a panel of the Plum cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts It’s Our Anniversary Stamp & Cut XL. The first part of the sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black, and the second part was stamped in cracked pistachio and seedless preserves distress inks for a little interest.

Hello

Hey everybody! Happy April Fool’s Day – are pranking anybody today? LOL, I’ve been good… I’ve popped in this afternoon to share a card I created for Lizi’s Layout Challenge #1 featuring our Background Builder One die set. In case you haven’t heard, Love From Lizi has started up a brand new layout challenge, and because this month marks Lizi’s 100th monthly kit, we are celebrating with a milestone giveaway… a $100CAD gift card to the Love From Lizi store! How cool is that?! Read on for more details!

All that’s required to participate in this challenge is to make a card using the following layout. You can enter as many different cards as you’d like. You’ll earn points for using the layout, for using a majority of Love From Lizi products, and for using the Background Builder One die set. There are additional guidelines, so be sure to read the post prior to entering your cards.

I actually combined the Love From Lizi layout challenge with a personal challenge. I’ve had both volumes of the Color Cubes for nearly a year now and have not used the first card out of either box. So my friend, Danni, issued me a challenge on March 17th to use at least one card within the next two weeks. The card was finished on March 30th which was one day before the two-week mark, but I’m late posting it, lol. Hey, at least I FINALLY used a Color Cube card, lol!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Astrobrights Eclipse Black cardstock. Using our Background Builder One die set, I cut the pieces from our Neutrals paper pack, Linen Rainbow paper pack, and Silver Mirror cardstock, along with some rust colored cardstock from my stash. I used our Sitting Cat die for the focal image along with an embossed sentiment from our Just Because stamp set. The finishing touch was adding a couple strips of our Silver Sway peel-offs.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the dark gray and rust papers used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from our Simply Amazing stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink, which completed the card.

Hi friends! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. Our weather is supposed to be nice in the mid to upper 50s so I plan to get out and walk a little and (of course) craft a little, too. ;) I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you that I created with papers and die cut pieces from our new Once Upon A Time: Ariel Collection. This is one of the best collections ever, and I have fond memories of my daughter watching The Little Mermaid movie. I believe she was about five when it came out. I created a twisted ribbon panel on the left side this card and I love the fun it adds. This was my first attempt and I definitely see more twisted ribbon in my future, lol!

I cut the card base and twisted ribbon panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Amazon Dark Teal cardstock along with layering panels from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and a print in the Ariel 6×9 Collection Pack. Next I cut strips from a couple more coordinating prints and then fashioned the twisted ribbon panel.

I added the die cuts from the Ariel Die Cut Pieces as well as a sentiment (from the Ariel Collection Stamps) which I stamped in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink and cut with the coordinating Ariel Outline Dies. The finishing touch was adding a few dots from Imagine Crafts Gold irRESISTible Pico Embellisher.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with die cuts and a leftover patterned paper strip that I cut for the twisted ribbon panel. I added another sentiment that I stamped from the Ariel Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Hi friends, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week. We had THE best weather yesterday (sunny and in the mid 60s) for driving to our appointments and running our errands. We have some more cold stuff headed our way next week, though, so I guess Spring hasn’t really quite sprung yet. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the amazing Rubbings Washi Sheet, Scarlet cardstock and Flying In To Say Stamp Set. I employed the ‘floating strips’ technique using strips cut from the washi sheet which I adhered to the back side of a panel of our Heat Resistant Clear Acetate and popped up on the front panel on foam strips. Super fun card that packs a punch – I always enjoy making cards with this technique.

I adhered a panel of Scarlet cardstock to the front of a Pre-Scored A2 Card Base. I affixed a panel of Heat Resistant Clear Acetate to my 7″ Make Art Stay-tion with magnets and then adhered various sizes of strips cut from the Rubbings Washi Sheet, leaving uniform space between each strip. I cut strips of Keep It Simple 2mm adhesive foam sheet which I stuck down on the back side of the acetate behind the washi sheet strips and adhered to the Scarlet cardstock panel.

I stamped a sentiment and two plaid butterflies from the Flying In To Say Stamp Set in Raven ink and fussy cut them. I bent the wings upward on one of them and adhered it to the card front, applying glue only to the body portion. I adhered the sentiment across the bottom and added Red Shift and Topaz Flat Back Crystals, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from a leftover half of a pre-scored card base and embellished it with strips of the acetate and Scarlet panels used on the front. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Flying In To Say Stamp Set in Raven ink and attached the other stamped butterfly. I’ve also included an angled shot so you can see the dimension on the floating strips.

Spring Wishes

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday and happy Spring! It’s still a little chilly here but our temps are rising and I do believe Spring is in the air. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a circular easel card with an acetate front. This card features our Rise and Shine Stamp Set, Floral Wellington Boot Cutting die, and Matte Silver Sway Peel-Off Stickers – all from our March release. I also used additional dies, papers and embellishments from the store. This card may look daunting but it’s really fairly simple, so be sure to check out my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog if you’d like to learn how to make it.

I cut the card base, frames and a couple layers from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock. I also cut a layering panel from a red floral print in the Love You paper pack, as well as frames and a layering panel from a red print in the Linen Rainbow paper pack. Using the Floral Wellington Boot Cutting Die, I die cut two wellies from a coordinating print in the Love You paper pack, trimmed off the floral element and added a small strip of Matte Silver Sway Peel-Off Sticker to each.

I added a strip of white pearls to the front of each wellie, and also added a sole to each of the wellies by cutting the very bottom portion from a red linen scrap and trimming it down. I used the Winter Roses Cutting Dies to cut the white roses from white cardstock to embellish the background of the acetate panel, and then added the wellies. I layered circular die cuts to the inside and added a sentiment from the Rise and Shine stamp set, stamped in red ink, and popped up on adhesive foam which doubled as the stopper.

Here are a couple additional shots. As an optional step, I added a custom sentiment that I typed on my computer as well as a leftover frame to the bottom of the card to create an area to sign and/or write a short message.

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. We are expecting some temps in the 60s and 70s next week, and even with the mild Winter we’ve had and our love for cooler weather, we’re ready for Spring! ;) I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today that I created with our NEW Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies that were released yesterday! I paired these dies with our Snow Day papers and Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes stamps and dies, along with our Birthday Sentiments stamps and Stitched Rectangles nested dies.

And I’m proud to share that Keep It Simple sent this die set into production after my Christmas-themed accordion pocket card sample HERE was deemed a huge hit at one of the expos last Summer. Needless to say, my head swelled a bit when she told us about it, and I’m thrilled to share it with you today. My sample was all hand-cut and this die set makes this card a breeze to create!

Using the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card Dies, I cut the card base from American Crafts Black cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints from the Snow Day 6×9 and 12×12 Collection Packs. I stamped a couple images from the Scandinavian Christmas Gnomes Collection Stamps, colored them with an assortment of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Using a die in the Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, I cut a card to slip into the pocket. For the final step, I stamped several sentiments from the Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red inks, fussy cut or trimmed them, and adhered them to the front, inside and the pocket card.

Here’s an additional shot showing the card removed from the pocket. This is such a fun set of dies that can be used for literally any occasion with any color palette!
