Love To Scrap 2

you’re amazing!

Hi friends, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope it’s warming up where you are and you’re getting to do something fun this weekend. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring papers from the amazing Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs along with a sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set. This tiered pinwheel twist card is one of my favorite fun folds and I’ve made several over the past couple years. My inspiration originally came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. You know what a fun fold fanatic I am, and the pretty patterned papers and butterflies were added bonuses!

I cut the card base and the tiered panels from Raven cardstock along with layering panels from patterns in the Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs. I love mixing patterns.

I fussy cut four butterflies from the Fluttering Forest paper pack, bent them in the middle, and adhered one to each side of the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink on a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock, and this completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the awesome Clowder of Cats stamps, stencil and chipboard along with the Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack, all from our February release! You know we rescue cats and these products are right up my alley! I created a fun birthday card featuring the tear and roll technique. It’s not a fun fold like I typically share, but this super fun (and easy) technique packs a punch nonetheless!

I cut an A2 panel from a pattern in the Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack and tore a strip across the center. I rolled it around a skinny skewer and glued it in place as I rolled it. I laid the panel down on the card base to get the placement for my sentiment from the Clowder of Cats Stamp Set. I stamped it in Raven ink and then adhered the panel to a Pre-Scored Card Base.

I placed the Clowder of Cats Chipboard onto the Stamp & Stick Mat with the Clowder of Cats stencil that I attached to my Make Art Stay-tion with magnets. I grabbed three small blending brushes and inked the chipboard with vintage photo, walnut stain and weathered wood distress inks. I adhered this adorable row of kitties to the card front and added several Blue Shift Flat Back Crystals, which completed the card front.

I trimmed one-half of another Pre-Scored Card Base for the inside panel which I embellished with a leftover strip of the Spring Splatter paper used on the front. I stamped the paws image in Raven ink and layered the panel on light brown cardstock.

Sending Sunshine & Rainbows

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week. I’m absolutely delighted to bring you a shaped card full of sunshine and rainbows for Keep It Simple. Our NEW cutest Rainbow Builder Dies and Sunshine & Rainbows Stamp Set were released about a week ago and I can’t tell you how much fun these products are. The possibilities are endless and the cuteness just doesn’t stop! I grabbed seven colors of our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs and went to town!

Using the Rainbow Builder Dies, I cut the shaped card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, extending the top of the rainbow shaped die past the fold in the cardstock just a bit so it didn’t cut it in two. Then I took the Back To Basics Lemon, Mango, Rose, Ruby, Lilac, Jade and Royal 6×9 Collection Packs and die cut all the elements for the rainbow and sun, adding in some white glitter cardstock from my stash for the clouds. As I always say, the assembly is the most fun! I stamped a sentiment from the Sunshine & Rainbows Stamp Set in Memento Lady Bug ink which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panels from 80# Solar White and a print from the Royal Collection Pack which I embellished with a couple hearts. I stamped another sentiment from the Sunshine & Rainbows Stamp Set in the Lady Bug ink, which completed the card.

Sending Love on Butterfly Wings

Hey everybody! Happy Wednesday evening – I’m here with my second post today. I hope you’re having a beautiful week and it’s warming up a bit where you are, with Spring on the way! I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a tented easel card featuring the Butterfly Wings Stamp Set from our newest release – and you may recognize this card from our new release blog hop on Instagram last week. Yep, I’m double-dipping, lol! I also used some of our mirror cardstock, an additional stamp set, some nested cutting dies, and the centers from the purple butterfly border peel-off stickers. And you’ve probably also noticed that this is one of my favorite fun folds and I’m posting another one within the course of a week!

The measurements for this card are as follows:
1. Card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2″, making the folded card 4-1/4″ square.
2. Front layering panel is 4″ x 4″.
3. Bottom layering panel is 2-1/4″ x 4″.
4. White layering panel for the inside cut at 4″ x 4″.

The card base and the stopper/bottom sentiment layering panel were cut from CutCardStock Amaranth cardstock and patterned paper layering panels from the Love You 6×6 Specialty Paper Pack. I used the Stitched Label Nested Cutting Dies to cut the background for the butterfly from Amaranth and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I used a strip of purple butterfly border peel-off stickers across the bottom of the easel portion, keeping just the inside tiny butterflies and removing the border strip.

I stamped the large butterfly from the Butterfly Wings stamp set, colored it with Copics and fussy cut it. I adhered the body flat to the label shaped background and popped the wings up on adhesive foam squares. I adhered a piece of purple mirror cardstock from the Matte Mirror Pastel Specialty Cardstock Bundle beneath the Amaranth piece, stamped a sentiment from the Butterfly Wings stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and then popped the stopper up on a 1″ adhesive foam strip.

The inside panel was cut from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished with a strip from the Love You paper pack. I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Amazing Stamp Set in black ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base, which completed the card. If you’re interested in more details, be sure to see my tutorial post on the Love From Lizi blog.

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.

Happy Birthday

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe inspiration project with you today as a new DT member! I’ve been a Brutus Monroe fan for a few years and you can only imagine how ecstatic I was to receive that email telling me I had been selected for the 2025 Inspiration Team! I used two of my all-time favorites, the Botanical Background Stamp and Super Sentimental Stamp Set, to create this pretty birthday card. I included a gorgeous Lace Layers die cut under the focal panel to really show it off. I kept with a simple red/coral color palette and really love how this turned out!

I stamped the Botanical Background focal image in Raven ink on a Perfect Blend 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel and colored it with Copic Ciao markers. I trimmed it and layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Wild Salmon cardstock. I adhered a Lace Layers die cut (which I cut from Raven cardstock) beneath the panel and adhered it to the card base. I stamped a simple birthday greeting from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set, trimmed it, and adhered it to the bottom portion of the card front, slightly to the right of center. The finishing touch was adding several Hematite Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panels from Perfect Blend cardstock and the Wild Salmon cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set and layered the panel on a slightly smaller die cut Lace Layer.

Yay! to your retirement

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! Only one more Friday to go, then this month is a bust! I’m delighted to share an Emily Moore Designs DT inspiration project with you today, created with a variety of products that you may notice I use a lot and have become fast favorites (wink-wink). This retirement card features the Confetti Layered Stencils, Yay! Layered Word Die, Graduation & Retirement stamp set, and Card Sentiment Dies. I also used Simon’s Gold Lunar Paste and a couple Scrapbook Adhesives products that Emily sells in her store. If you want to shop and you’re a new customer, remember to use my code LESLIE10 for 10% off your order! The tented easel card is one of my favorite fun folds because it’s so easy to make and sure packs a punch. So, I guess you could say this card is a win-win!

Before I get going, the measurements for this card are as follows:
1. Card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2″, making the folded card 4-1/4″ square.
2. Front layering panel is 4″ x 4″.
3. Bottom layering panel is 2-1/4″ x 4″.
4. White layering panel for the inside cut at 4″ x 4″.

I started by creating the background on a piece of CutCardStock Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock affixed to my Ranger-Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion 7″ with the magnets. Then I gathered the Confetti Layered Stencils, three Memento inks, some blending brushes, and Simon Hurley Gold Rush Lunar Paste and a spatula. While the panel was drying, I cut the Yay! sentiment from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil and Basis Dark Red cardstock and assembled it using Scrapbook Adhesives 4×6 adhesive sheet on the back of the layers.

I cut the card base and a few strips (of varying widths) from Basis Dark Red cardstock along with more strips from CutCardStock Lessebo White, Lessebo Brick Orange and Lessebo Sunflower Yellow, which I adhered in diagonal fashion on a piece of white copy paper (again with a Scrapbook Adhesives 4×6 adhesive sheet), trimmed to 2-1/4″ x 4″, and adhered it to the bottom of the card base. At this point, the stenciled background was dry, so I trimmed it to 4″ x 4″ and adhered it to the card base as well, along with the sentiment.

I stamped the congrats sentiment from the Graduation & Retirement Stamp Set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink on a scrap piece of Lessebo White, cut it with a die from the Card Sentiment Dies, and popped it up on American Crafts thick adhesive foam squares. In addition to adding another sentiment, this served as the stopper.

I cut the inside panel at 4″ x 4″ from Lessebo White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip cut from the stenciled panel on the front and a very thin strip of Basis Red cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Graduation & Retirement Stamp Set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, and layered the panel on a piece of Bright Gold Foil cardstock.

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week. I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created our new Back to Basics 6×9 Lime Collection Pack! OMGosh, I totally love this color. Green (in any variation) has been my all-time favorite color since I can remember, so I thoroughly enjoyed making this. I’ve created quite a few of this version of a triple fold over the years and decided to give this one a little ‘faux’ twist by adhering the second flap down to the card base, thus giving it the ‘faux’ look of a triple fold. I thought that added a little more fun to an already fun design. And of course, these die cuts from our Lucky Day Collection make it even more fun… along with my handmade pom-pom on his hat! ;)

I cut the 5-1/2″ x 11″ card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and scored it at 1-3/4″, 5-1/2″ and 9-3/4″ on the lone side. I folded the base in half and then folded the two remaining score lines toward the left. Working from left to right, I cut a 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a plaid print in the Lucky Day 6×9 Collection Pack and adhered it to the left side. Next, I cut a 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a floral print and adhered it to the second flap, and then adhered that flap down to the card base with thin adhesive foam squares.

Finally, I cut a 1″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a dotted print and adhered it to the right-hand flap. I added two disc magnets to keep the card closed, and with the card closed, I embellished the front with an assortment of die cut pieces from the Lucky Day Collection. I made a pom-pom from white yarn using a thin skewer and adhered it to the top of his hat. The final step was adding several Back To Basics Lime Enamel Dots.

I cut the 4″ x 5-1/4″ inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the floral paper used on the front. I added a sentiment and a tiny gnome, also from the die cut pieces, and layered the panel on another print from the Lucky Day Collection.

Sending Smiles

Hey everybody! Well, we’re a little more than half-way through the month and I hope you are seeing some warmer weather where you are. Although I love Winter and the snow, I’m waiting patiently (or not) for Spring, lol! I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a friendship card with a dimensional frame that features the Pinkfresh Studio Cheerful Blossoms Stamps, Stencils and Dies. I immediately fell in love with these products because – besides being florals (and who doesn’t love florals) – there are SO many occasions to use them for!

I stamped and inked the florals from the Pinkfresh Studio Cheerful Blossoms stamps on a panel of Neenah Fluorescent White Cotton cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating stencils along with peeled paint, crackling campfire, peacock feathers, fossilized amber, and vintage photo distress oxide inks. After inking, I re-stamped the florals in Versafine Onyx Black ink to darken up the outlines a bit, and then cut them apart with the coordinating dies.

I added a dimensional frame and then a stamped sentiment from the Altenew Dynamic Duo Blooming Branch Outline Stamps. I arranged all the inked florals and added a clear gemstone to the center of each flower for a little bling. Gotta have some bling! ;)

I added another inked floral and sentiment (from the same Altenew stamp set) on the inside, which completed the card.

Hey everybody, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today which features our new KIS Art Stencils – Raindrops that I paired with our Bizzy Hands Turtle Gnome stamp set. The stencils are pretty amazing and don’t have to be used for actual raindrops (although they certainly can be). I created a background panel for my ‘phe-Gnome-enol’ Friend card using a few green distress inks. Green is my all-time favorite color and I really enjoyed making this card!

I cut a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of CutCardStock Savoy Bright White Cotton cardstock and placed it on a MISTI Sticky Mat on my Ranger-Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion 12″. I gathered the KIS Art Stencils – Raindrops, blending brushes, and Catherine Pooler Melon Ice, Garden Party and Lime Rickey inks, and stenciled the background. I cut the panel with a Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies and then cut another panel from CutCardStock Glama Natural Clear Translucent Vellum using the same die. Vellum is a great way to tone down a busy background without actually obscuring any of the design.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. I stamped the gnome image on Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and fussy cut it with my Spellbinders Detail Scissors. I sure love those scissors! I stamped the sentiment in Memento Bamboo Leaves ink, trimmed it and popped it up on foam pads. The finishing touch was adding a few Back To Basics Jade Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth White cardstock with a Back To Basics Stitched Rectangles Nested Die and layered it on CutCardStock Pop Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. I stamped a sentiment in Memento Bamboo Leaves ink, which completed the card.
