Get Well Cards with Phantom Die Cutting

Hi friends – happy Friday! Hopefully you’re finally seeing a hint of Spring where you are and perhaps have something fun planned this weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a set of four get well cards featuring the old technique of phantom die cutting. You may have more recently heard this technique referred to as the eclipse technique. It’s super simple and yields an awesome 3D effect to the sentiment on your card front. I used a variety of our cardstock (which I will list below) that I paired with a digital paper in my stash. I have so many digital papers and hardly ever tap into them.

I won’t go into a huge amount of detail here, so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I printed one of the papers from the Art For Cards Lime Showers pack (from My Scrap Chick) on 80# Solar White and cut it into quarters. Yes, one sheet made four beautiful cards! Then I cut layering panels from Textured Pearl Hummingbird Teal, Lessebo Salt Water Blue, Aqua and Pop Tone Limeade cardstock.

I used the CUTplorations hugs die (from STAMPlorations) and two layers of 165# Solar White cardstock to get the raised 3D effect. I used Scrapbook Adhesives adhesive sheet for several steps which was a huge time saver. I really dislike dabbing tiny spots of glue on the back of small die cuts, lol! The panels were put on 80# pre-folded Solar White card bases (another huge time saver) and I added Eyelet Outlet Teal, Aqua Glitter, Blue and Green Enamel Dots to finish off the card fronts.

I used Pop Tone Black Licorice and 80# Solar White panels on the inside. The sentiment is from Ranger Letter It Occasions clear stamps, stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of one of the cards (they are all the same), so here is a shot from my tutorial.

Colorful Mini Tag Flip

03/28/26 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a mini tag flip featuring layered and decorated tags. These are perfect for tweens and grown-ups alike! I used a variety of our cardstock, which I’ll list below. Most people make these to swap or just to give as a fun gift. It’s not your typical mini album although the tags can have pockets and areas for photos and journaling. This one actually includes one tag with a pocket and tiny journaling card. This is the first one of these I’ve made and I can SO see another collection brewing, lol! So fun!

The first order of business was to add jump rings to the pom-pom and butterfly charm. I made the tassel from yellow hemp cord in my stash, and added a ring to that as well.

Then the fun began making all the tags. Using the Coco & Reno Mini Tag Flip die set, I die cut a bunch of tags, bows, flowers and rosettes from Lessebo Sweet Mint and Amazon Dark Teal, Pop Tone Grapesicle and Banana Split, Royal Sundance Burgundy Linen, Textured Pearl Green Curry, Bright Gold Foil and 80# Solar White. Then I cut more tags from the Fancy Pants Designs Bloom 12×12 double-sided papers. The Coco & Reno dies came in a kit along with Fancy Pants Designs Bloom double-sided papers, cardstock and foam stickers, enamel dots, and dangle embellishments. I punched circles for the centers of the rosettes, and used enamel shapes, gemstones and pinstripe peel-off stickers from my stash.

Here are the first four tags.

And here are the other four tags. I cut more pieces than I needed and was able to make eight additional tags for another mini tag flip, plus I have lots of extra die cuts to make more tag embellishments for future projects. Win-win!

Love Life Mini in a Tin

03/24/26 Top 5 at Try It On Tuesday!

Hey friends, how are you doing on this wonderful Wednesday morning?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very colorful mini album in a tin. Our new DT term just started this month at CutCardStock so this is my first post of the new term! I’m starting my seventh year on this amazing team and the time has flown by!

A couple years ago I won a Tin Topper subscription from Gecko Galz, and received beautiful digital tin topper images every month for a year. I bought tins on Amazon and have had them in my stash all this time so I decided to finally use one! Any colorful digital images or patterned paper can be used for this project. Of course, you need pretty cardstock, too, so I used Amaranth Pink, Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon, along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White.

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog where you’ll find the template for the mini album, all the measurements, and step-by-step instructions. I started by printing Gecko Galz Spring Blossoms Tin Toppers (from May 2024 Tin Topper Kit) on 80# Solar White, and trimming them down slightly.

I decorated the tin with one of the tin topper images, cardstock, MAMBI skinny washi tape, and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots. I added a flower cluster made from Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which I tied in a bow with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I cut the mini album from Amaranth Pink cardstock and rounded the corners of each section. In addition to the digital tin topper images, I used Astrobright Lunar Blue, Textured Caribbean Blue and Wild Salmon along with Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory for the panels, creating four pockets on the front and four on the back. I cut pocket cards from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for journaling and/or photos. I used a little bit of the washi tape and a few of the enamel dots to embellish the inside of the mini album without adding too much bulk.

I folded up the mini album and tied it in a pretty bow. Here’s a final shot of the mini in the tin. I sure do love how this turned out! I wanted it to be pretty but not overly done, and I think I accomplished that! ;)

Scrappy hugs,

hello Friend

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a good week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an interactive butterfly card. I had never heard of this pop out fun fold before I saw it on YouTube, and now I’ve made a couple of them (with different elements) and have another couple planned. So fun and easy! I made this one into a friendship card but it could be tailored for a birthday, anniversary, or just because. I used Pop Tone Snow Cone, Jet Stream Blue, Surf and Hummingbird cardstock which I paired with patterned paper, stamps, dies, and an embossing folder in my stash. I love these colors together!

I used the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Butterflies Dies to cut the butterflies. I cut the card base and panels from Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock and added a panel of patterned paper from the simple Stories Boho Sunshine Collection Kit. The front sentiment is from the Hero Arts Here For You stamps which I cut with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Die.

Here are shots of the card opening and then fully opened revealing a couple more butterflies that actually look like they are flittering out of the card. The inside sentiment is from the Altenew Enchanted Roses stamp set. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog for more details on how to make this card!

Dude!

Hey everybody, happy first Wednesday in February! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a simple pillar card. You know fun folds are my jam and this design is a really easy one that can be tailored for any occasion or holiday! I used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (in both 110# and 80# weights) and Lessebo Sunset Orange, along with some adorable stamps and dies to bring this card to life. I have to admit that I’ve had these stamps and dies for quite a while and have used them once. Not sure why because they are so stinkin’ cute and make THE best cards!

Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want to learn how to make this fun and simple card! I used both 110# and 80# weights of Solar White cardstock along with Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock. I also used a dotted paper from the Keep It Simple Barnyard Bliss collection as well as the older but wonderful Whimsy Stamps Hey Ostrich stamps and dies. This guy is a hoot, isn’t he?! AND I employed the Scrapbook Adhesives ‘Wear Your Adhesive On The Outside’ technique for the orange foil embellishments! Lots of fun on this card!

One last look… what do you think of this card? I’d love to know if you make one!

Have A Classic Birthday

02/25/26 Top 3 at the Creative Crafters Challenge!

Hi friends, happy Tuesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a very cool masculine birthday card. I used a variety of our cardstock along with a Solar White pre-folded card base. And this die set is one of those in the new Spellbinders collection that I’m totally in love with! It’s such an amazing collection that will be popular for a long time, I’m sure.

I won’t go into too much detail here so be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. I used a 110# Solar White A2 pre-folded card base, 80# Solar White cardstock, Stardream Metallic Lagoon, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Bright Silver Foil, Royal Sundance Kraft Fiber cardstock, and Glama Natural Clear Translucent Vellum.

I used the Spellbinders Timeless Truck Dies, Classic Sentiments Dies, and Cruisin’ By Sentiments Stamp & Die Bundle. Embossing folders seem to be making a comeback so I dug out an argyle one for the front panel on this which I popped up on thick craft foam. I added the truck and sentiment strip. It’s a super simple design!

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the Lagoon cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on Black Licorice cardstock.

Hey everybody – I hope you had a good weekend and you’re not planning to work too hard this week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fun alien ship box card. I used a variety of our cardstock which I have listed below. The cut file is from Cyndy G SVG which I paired with the Milky Way stamp set from The Project Bin, and I really love how this turned out! I did chuckle a tiny bit while assembling this! ;)

Using the Alien Ship Box Card SVG cut file from Cyndy G and my Cricut Explore Air 2, I cut all the pieces from Wedding Cake, Stardream Metallic Silver, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lava Stone Gray, Rubber Ducky, Green Curry, Aqua, and Lessebo Dawn Maroon cardstock.

I assembled the box card and just prior to adhering the white circle on the back, I stamped a very appropriate sentiment from The Project Bin Milky Way stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Oh, this was such a fun one! Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog!

Joy To The World

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! Are you ready for the big man in the red suit? He’ll be here in a week’s time whether you’re ready or not, lol! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fold out panel card featuring Solar White cardstock, our Lessebo Dawn Maroon and Stardream Metallic Aquamarine. I absolutely love a red and aqua color combo, and this turned out great. It’s been many years since I made this fun fold and I’m so glad I found my instructions. Now to decipher my handwriting. Bahahaha! Just kidding… I think I have this handled! :P

The fold out panel was cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, the flat card base and smaller front panel were cut from Lessebo Dawn Maroon, and the larger front panel was cut from Stardream Metallic Aquamarine cardstock. I used coordinating prints from my Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad from The Paper Studio. It’s a thick one and I’ve been using it for a number of years now and still have more than half of it left, lol! It’s one of my absolute favorites! I used the Love From Lizi Ornate Oval dies for the focal on the front along with the Cottage Cutz Mittens die for an inside embellishment. The sentiment stamp is also from Love From Lizi.

I cut the back panel from Solar White as well, and embellished it with paper and cardstock strips used on the front. And this sentiment stamp is from the same Love From Lizi stamp set. I embellished the mittens and back panel with Stampendous red Dot Sparklers. Fun, fun, fun… and now that I’ve found the instructions for this card, I’m sure you’ll see it again! And be sure to visit the CutCardStock blog to see my tutorial if you’d like more detail.

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.

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!
