Baby’s 1st Christmas

12/13/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

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 Friday! Can you believe it’s the first Friday of the last month of the year?! Just like the last several, this year has flown by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #110. This is my last post as a Creative Creases designer and I sure have enjoyed myself this year! I love the Match Book line over at Art Impressions and have quite a few of them. Believe it or not, I still have a few in my stash that I haven’t made AND there are some fairly new ones on the Ai website that I haven’t added to my stash yet. I’m such a sucker for gnomes and really had fun with this one!

Using the Art Impressions Match Book Template dies, I cut the base from Waffle Flower Gingham paper. I stamped all the components in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using the Art Impressions Gnome Home Match Book stamps. I colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the included dies.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun and it was very rewarding seeing this adorable little scene come together! Here are some angled shots along with one showing the teeny tiny envelope (cut with the Art Impressions Match Book Envelope dies).

1/2/26 CAS Favorite – Best of 2025 at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday – I hope you’re having a great week and you’re embracing December… it sure got here fast! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an A2 side-folding Winter-themed card featuring a Solar White pre-folded card base, double thick Solar White cardstock, our Lessebo Moss Green, Silver Glitter, and Bright Foil cardstock. OMGoodness, this turned out so pretty… it’s simple but sure packs a punch!

I used a Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 Folded Card Base and added a panel of Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Using the Birch Press Design Mini Snowflake Dies, I cut the bottom layer from 165# Solar White for stability, the middle layer from CCS Silver Glitter, and the top layer from Bright Silver Foil. Prior to adhering the layers together, I spritzed the thick bottom layer in Brutus Monroe Noble Fir Chroma Mist for a little interest. I stamped a sentiment from the Love From Lizi Hello Winter stamp set in Brutus Monroe Alabaster White ink and added several tiny gray gemstones, which completed the card front.

I cut one extra partial snowflake from the silver glitter cardstock to use in the corner of the inside white panel. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in Memento Olive Grove ink and layered the panel on the Lessebo Moss Green cardstock. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want more detailed instructions.

11/29/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Howdy peeps – happy weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple project that I created for the How-To’s section on our website. This simple Z-fold features primarily papers, stamps and dies from the Snow Day collection. This particular version is my own design that typically showcases three patterned papers, however, I decided on just two patterned papers for this card because I love that plaid so much!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock along with layering panels from a couple prints in the Snow Day collection. I stamped the snow globe (from the Snow Globe Collection Stamps) on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Snow Globe Outline Die. I stamped the snowman inside the globe and colored him with Copic Ciao alcohol markers. I used Catherine Pooler Stone Blue and Tranquil inks for the larger snowflakes (popped up on foam squares) and the snowflake background. The finishing touch was adding a few Back To Basics Royal Enamel Dots.

Here’s a final shot of the card opened up. The inside sentiment is from the Snow Day Collection Stamps. stamped in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I love all the blues on this… it screams winter! Be sure to check out my tutorial on the website if you want to learn how to make it! It’s simple and it’s fun!

Snow Much Fun shaker

Howdy peeps! I hope my friends in the States had a beautiful Thanksgiving; otherwise, wishing a great weekend ahead for everybody! I’m up on the Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L blog today sharing a tutorial for making a Winter/Christmas-themed snowglobe shaker card in non-traditional pastel colors. The Scrapbook Adhesives design team was invited to collaborate with Trinity Stamps. How fun is that?! I used some of their dies and stamps, and of course, lots of amazing Scrapbook Adhesives products to put it all together!

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here so be sure to check out my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog if want to see how I made this fun card. The 5-1/4″ square base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with patterned papers from the My Favorite Things cheerful Plaid and Sweet Celebration 6×6 paper pads. I used the Trinity Stamps Snowglobe Card die set and Sledding Fun stamp set, and my shaker bits are iridescent snowflakes from Eyelet Outlet.

I brought this card to life by using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips, E-Z Dots, 3D Foam Strips, Crafty Foam Tape, 3D Foam Circles, Dual Tip Glue Pen, and Metallic Pastel Colors Transfer Foil Sheets – all from Scrapbook Adhesives. The finishing touch was adding some embellishments to the sentiment strip that I created using the ‘Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside’ technique.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of the pastel plaid used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Sledding Fun stamp set, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pink Tutu cardstock.

Hey everybody, happy Monday! – I hope you had a good weekend! We thought we were going to get some snow but it never happened. It’s been nice and chilly, though… just how we like it! I have a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today – a shaker card featuring papers and die cut pieces from our new Barnyard Bliss collection, along with our Shaker Frames A2 Frames #2, some of our foam, acetate and adhesive squares, and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line! Y’all, this is one of THE cutest collections ever!

I cut a side-folding A2 size card base from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock along with layering panels and a shaker frame from coordinating prints from the Barnyard Bliss collection. Of course, I used foam and acetate from our Back To Basics Shaker Basics which I filled with Snow White Fine Crushed Glass, Dandelion Hearts Sequins and Matte Dark Orange 2mm Beads from our Sprinkles line. I also threw in some small die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection and used a couple to embellish the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a patterned paper strip and a couple more Barnyard Bliss die cut pieces, popping the heart up on a foam square from our Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips.

Let’s Gather Together

Hey everybody – here’s wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I have a pretty Z-fold for ScrapbookingStore to share with you today created with items in the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I love this simple Z-fold (this particular one is my own design) because it showcases three patterned papers at once. I also used a chipboard accent on the front of this along with a double-loop bow. LOVE how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Pitch Black and adhered panels cut from three different patterned papers in the kit. I adhered a Spellbinders lacy circle die cut behind the chipboard accent on the front, and added a bow fashioned from Really Reasonable Ribbon green seam binding ribbon. The finishing touch was adding a few green enamel dots from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts.

I embellished the inside with sentiment and floral stickers from the sticker sheet, which completed the card. Another easy card that would be so pretty to mass produce just to have extras in your stash.

Celebrate the Little Things

Howdy peeps – I hope you’re having a great week! It’s hard to believe Christmas is just a little more than a month away but I’m pretty much finished with my Christmas crafting. How about you? I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a side accordion panel card which is one of my favorite fun folds. I used Sunset Orange, Flame Orange, and White (all from our Lessebo line) which I paired with papers, ephemera and die cuts in my stash. I’m still trying to use up stuff in my stash rather than buy more and I actually think I’ve done pretty well. I totally love how this card turned out – everything coordinates really nicely!

I cut the card base and folded element from Lessebo Sunset Orange along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo Celebrate The Little Things Collection Kit. I added some ephemera and die cuts from the same collection kit, layering the focal on the front on a circle die cut from Flame Orange cardstock. I finished off the front with some Trinity Stamps Topaz Twinkle rhinestones. I cut a panel for the back from Lessebo White and embellished it with a strip from the same collection kit, and left it blank to write a custom message. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you’d like to learn how to make this awesome card!

Our Happy Place

Hey y’all – happy Tuesday! I have a very cool ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. No fun fold today… (LOL)… just an A2 card with a diagonal squares panel on the front! I periodically peruse Pinterest for inspiration and this one caught my eye a while back. It’s super simple and is made with ten squares in a diagonal design.

I used a 1″ square punch to punch the squares needed for the diagonal design. I mounted a sentiment sticker from the sticker sheet on a scrap piece of white cardstock, trimmed it, and added it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several black enamel dots.

I kept the inside fairly simple as well, using a die cut piece from the upgrades. That’s it – easy peasy! This would be a great one to mass produce for different occasions just to have some extra cards in your stash!

Welcome To Our Home

Howdy, folks – a very happy Monday to you all! I’m delighted to share a ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project with you today created with papers, journaling cards and a border sticker from the November 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I made an interior stair step card which is a new one to me although very similar to the front step card which is one of my all-time favorites that I’ve been making for years. I saw Connie Stewart’s fast-paced reel on Facebook a couple weeks ago and decided to give it a go. So glad I did – and you’ll be seeing this one again!

I used several coordinating papers for the front and inside of the card base. I trimmed a journaling card with sentiment to use as the focal element on the card front, and added a border sticker from the sticker sheet.

The interior stair step boasts an additional journaling card which I trimmed to fit, and then I added a die cut kitty from the upgrades. Love, love, love how this turned out!
