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!

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

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!

Birthday Butterflies

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday and welcome to November ALREADY! Woo-hoo, we’re that much closer to Christmas! For a while there I had lots of playtime in with my Cricut and cut a bunch of cut files that I totally enjoyed assembling. I’m sharing one of those on the CutCardStock blog today which includes a tutorial. Since childhood, I’ve had a shoe and purse fetish (gee, go figure) which spilled over into my crafting as I got older. I dearly love making paper shoes and purses, and this one will go into my paper purse collection. I used quite a variety of our cardstock which I have listed below. The Basis Dark Orange I used is no longer carried on the website but any dark orange cardstock would work.

Using the My Scrap Chick Purse Full of Butterflies SVG cut file with my Cricut Explore Air 2, I cut the purse base, handles and inserts from Stardream Metallic Mars because it’s good and sturdy. I cut the butterflies, flowers, and purse hardware from the other cardstock on the list. The patterned papers I used on the purse, pocket, handles and envelope are from the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit. The envelope that gets tucked into the pocket can hold a gift card, cash, a handwritten note or a small card. I really enjoyed assembling this!

I added a die cut circle (cut from Solar White cardstock with a Love From Lizi Stitched Circle die) to the back of the purse. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Birthday Blossoms stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. I’ve included an angled overhead shot to you can see the construction of this box card. Be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want a little more detailed instruction. This was definitely a fun one!

It’s OK…

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute candy corn themed card. There are always a ton of posts around Halloween from people who really dislike candy corn, and when I saw this cut file, I laughed so hard and knew I had to have it! The cut file is from Printable Cuttable Creatables and I used Cougar Smooth White, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lessebo Brick Orange, and Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock to cut the pieces. And I happened to have some candy corn patterned paper in my stash so it really works!

I started by making the candy corn focal using the Printable Cuttable Creatables Don’t Like You Candy Corn SVG Cut File and my Cricut Explore Air 2. I cut the pieces from our Cougar Smooth White, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lessebo Brick Orange, and Lessebo Sunflower Yellow cardstock. After assembling the candy corn focal, I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base and strip from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. Next, I cut a layering panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange and a layering panel and strip from coordinating papers in the Simple Stories Spooky Nights Collection. I rounded the bottom right corner of each and assembled the card. This couldn’t have been any easier!

I cut the inside panel from Cougar Smooth White and embellished it with leftover strips of the candy corn paper and orange cardstock used on the front. I added three candy corn stickers and a sentiment from the Simple Stories Collection Pack, which completed the card.

Hey everybody, happy Friday – and I want to know how it’s the first Friday in October already?! This is hands-down my favorite time of the year – it’s our first Fall here at our new home and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a cruise-themed box card. I used a variety of our red, white, blue and black cardstock along with the Cruise Ship Box Card SVG cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs. This was such a fun project and I love how it turned out!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cruise Ship SVG cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs, I cut all the pieces from Cougar Smooth 110# White 12×12, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Patriot Blue cardstock and Blue Hydrangea, and Cougar Smooth 80# White 12×12 cardstock. I had a ball assembling this card, like I usually do, lol! I used the Print then Cut function on my Cricut for the front sentiment which completed the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. This was a fun one! Since I didn’t go into many details in this post, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog if you want more info!

Lemonade & Laughter

Howdy peeps – I hope you’re having a super wonderful Friday! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute lemonade-themed friendship card. I’m sure you can guess I’ve been (still) playing with my Cricut – and OMGosh, this was a FUN one. I used the Iced Lemonade Box Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick, and even got Ed’s seal of approval, lol! I used quite a few varieties of our cardstock to make this. And I will tell you that I used Basis Gold cardstock and it’s no longer carried in the store, but any dark yellow cardstock would work for the lemon rinds and starburst background layer.

Using My Scrap Chick’s Iced Lemonade Box Card SVG cut file, I cut the card base and inserts from Cougar 110# Smooth White 12×12 cardstock; the glass outline, lemon inside outlines, ice cubes and flower from Wedding Cake 12×12; lemon rinds and starburst layer from Basis Gold; lemons and starburst from Yellow Jacket; lemonade in glass from Light Yellow; leaves from Pop Tone Jellybean Green; glass from Lessebo Arctic Blue; and straw and rectangles from Wild Salmon. I used the Print then Cut function on my Cricut for the sentiment rectangle on the front. Tombow Mono Liquid Multi Purpose Glue was used for the entire assembly.

This was another super fun box card to put together and I enjoyed every minute – from cutting all the pieces through the entire assembly! I didn’t photograph the back side of it, but there’s plenty of room to write a custom message and sign. Love, love, love!

hey, there!

Hey everybody – happy first Thursday in September! I want to know how it got here so fast! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cool box card featuring cowboy boots, sunflowers and daisies. I’ve had an absolute ball playing with my Cricut and used the Cyndy G SVG Boots SVG cut file for this one which I totally love! I used a variety of cardstock in our Lessebo line in addition to a few others to bring it to life. I will admit that there are quite a few pieces but it went together seamlessly and without a hitch!

I cut the box card base, hay embellishment and inserts from Lessebo Brick Orange; sunflower petals and daisy centers from Lessebo Sunset Orange; boot soles, sunflower centers and insert layers from Lessebo Coffee Bean; sunflower center layers from Twine; greenery and layers from Lessebo Moss Green; boots from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Stardream Metallic Eris; and daisy petals from Lessebo White.

As I always say… the assembly is the most fun and I really enjoyed putting this one together! I used Tombow Mono Liquid Multi Purpose Glue for the entire assembly along with a few foam squares to pop up some of the elements. I’ve been using another glue in my glue press for a while now and decided to switch to the Tombow for a bit. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentiment Silhouettes die.

Using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die, I cut a rectangle for the back sentiment from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Best of Greetings stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Love, love, love how this turned out! I also have a cowboy hat box card SVG cut file (also designed by Cyndy G) which I intend to make fairly soon, so stay tuned for that one as well!

A Sea of Thanks

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a clean and simple fish-themed thank you card featuring one of our 110# Solar White pre-scored card bases and a variety of cardstock from our Pop Tone line. LOVE the colors of this cardstock – and the weight is perfect for layering and punching or die cutting elements for your projects. I also used the Love From Lizi To The Beach stencil and Brutus Monroe Seafoam Chill Shimmer Spray for the sea water to bring this card to life. Awesomeness overload!

I grabbed one of our Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White A2 folded card bases and cut a panel of Pop Tone Berrylicious for the front. Using the Love From Lizi To The Beach stencil and Brutus Monroe Seafoam Chill Shimmer Spray, I created an illusion of sea water on the front panel and then adhered it to the card base. I stamped the coral and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Using the Stampin’ Up A Fish & A Wish stamp set once again, I stamped six fish on Pop Tone Red Hot, Orange Fizz, Banana Split, Gumdrop Green, and Grape Jelly cardstock, and punched them all with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Fish Builder Punch. I adhered all of the fishies to the card front, popping up three of them on foam squares. Of course, I just HAD to include that little rebel (like my daughter) who is swimming in the opposite direction of the rest of them, lol! I added a few iridescent gemstone ‘bubbles’ which completed the card front.

I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Thankful Life stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink on the inside.

Hello Sweet Summertime

8/9/25 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey, everybody – Happy Tuesday! I’m back with my third post this morning… this time to let you know that I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a sweet (pun intended) summertime box card. After all, we are still in the throes of Summer and I know most folks are wishing it would start cooling off. I’ve had lots of Cricut playtime over the past couple months since we moved. Ed built me a nice 4′ x 6′ craft table and I love having the extra space to keep my Cricut out. I know I’ll use it more often now that it no longer lives in a cabinet, lol!

At any rate, this awesome SVG cut file is from Cyndy G SVG and I’m totally enamored with it. Ed and I LOVE watermelon so this was right up my alley. I used Lessebo Coffee Bean, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Banana Split, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Hot Fudge, and Scottish Highlands Green – all available on the CutCardStock website.

Using the Watermelon Crate Box Card SVG cut file from Cyndy G SVG, I cut the crate from Lessebo Coffee Bean and Pop Tone Hot Fudge; the inserts from Lessebo Coffee Bean; the watermelons from Pop Tone Black Licorice, Pop Tone Red Hot, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green and Pop Tone Jellybean Green; the flowers from Pop Tone Banana Split; and the vines from Scottish Highlands Green.

You’ve heard me say a hundred times that the assembly is always the most fun part of making these kinds of projects. Well, this one was no exception – I had a blast! Once the box and inserts were assembled, I used alpha stickers from the Carta Bella Flora No. 6 Collection Kit to spell HELLO on the crate, and embellished the flowers with Echo Park My Favorite Summer Adhesive Brads.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and Scottish Highlands Green. I added a sentiment sticker from Echo Park My Favorite Summer Collection Kit, which completed the card. I’ve included below an additional angled shot. If you’d like a few more details on how this card went together, be sure to see my tutorial on the CutCardStock blog. ;)
