Love & Thanks Postcard

Hey everybody! I hope your new year has started off on a nice note and it’s not too cold where you are. We’ve gotten a little more snow out here in southwestern Colorado but our Winter has been so mild we have absolutely zero complaints. And today is my dad’s birthday in Heaven – he was born 112 years ago and I sure do miss him. I was a daddy’s girl and he left us when I was only 16, leaving a gaping hole in my heart.

I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a postcard. A postcard, you say? Well, we need to thank those who sent Christmas gifts, so I thought this would be a fun way to do it! I used the awesome Classic Crest Epic Black and Beetle Black which I paired with our Brilliant White Cotton. I also used Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and 80# Solar White. The Sizzix Dash Away All die set was included in the prize pack I recently won on Instagram and I really wanted to use it even though the Christmas season is over. ;)

I started by inking a piece of Savoy Brilliant White Cotton cardstock with a variety of Ranger distress inks. I punched a 1-3/4″ circle into a piece of masking paper and inked the moon with fossilized amber and vintage photo. Then I masked off the moon with the punched circle and inked the sky with stormy sky, prize ribbon and villainous potion. I cut the inked panel with a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die. I die cut the star trail directly into the inked panel using a die in the Dash Away All set and backed it with a Silk Glitter Opulent Opal scrap. And finally, I splattered Copic Opaque White paint over the panel.

Next, using the Pinkfresh Studio Postage Edge Nested Rectangles Dies, I cut the postcard base from Neenah Classic Crest 130# Epic Black cardstock. I also die cut three Santas with reindeer using the Sizzix Dash Away All Thinlits and a cityscape using the Memory Box Cityscape Nightline die, all from Beetle Black cardstock. Project assembly is always the most fun and I loved watching this one come to life. I adhered the cityscape across the bottom, trimmed it and ran the panel back through the Big Shot with the stitched rectangle die. I stacked the three Santas and reindeer for dimension and adhered them in the sky. The final touch was stamping the sentiment from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I die cut an additional stitched rectangle for the back from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die and stamped another sentiment from the Keep It Simple Thank You Sentiments stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

A little birdie told me…

Howdy peeps! Happy Thursday – another week almost behind us. Time sure is flying by! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute bird-day mini slimline card. This is another one of those cards that takes almost no time to put together once all the die cutting is done. I used Classic Crest Baronial Ivory along with an assortment of colors in our Lessebo line (my current fav). I also dug into my stash and grabbed some wavy borders, an enamel sun, and cloud and bird brads. Love how this turned out – and I think it could even be considered CAS-ish!

I cut my go-to 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. I printed the Background Labs Cloud digital background on 32# HP copy paper on my new Canon color laser printer and trimmed it to fit the mini slim card base. I have a background story on printers but I’ll save that for another day, lol! Next, I die cut the bird houses from the Catherine Pooler Home Tweet Home Dies in seven of the eight Lessebo cardstock colors I had out. Since there were so many dies in this set, I left them connected so I wouldn’t lose any of them, and it worked out well. Now I have lots of extra pieces in all those pretty colors to assemble more bird houses for future projects. ;)

I used the Keep It Simple Wavy Borders to cut three layers of ‘hills’ from Lessebo Hunter Green cardstock for my little scene. After assembling the bird houses, I added an Eyelet Outlet bird brad to each one and adhered them to the card front on adhesive foam squares, then added the enamel sun and cloud brad. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Keep It Simple Build-A-Birdhouse stamp set in Hero Arts white embossing powder, fussy cut it and added it to the bottom of the card front which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and embellished it with another bird house. I stamped another sentiment from the same Build-A-Birdhouse stamp set in Memento Cottage Ivy ink, and layered the panel on Cherry Red cardstock.

Merry Christmas

Hey everybody! A big ol’ Happy Tuesday to you! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super easy mistletoe Christmas card. Seriously, y’all, this is probably one of the quickest cards I’ve ever made. I recently won a very cool 3D embossing folder and two sets of dies in an Instagram giveaway, and this card features the embossing folder and one of the sets of dies. For my cardstock, I used Jupiter, Fairway and Eris (all from the Stardream Metallic line) along with Scottish Highlands Green, Habanero Red and Solar White. Although I’m a huge fan of non-traditional colors, nothing shouts ‘Christmas’ like traditional red, white and green!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock. I spritzed the shimmery red panel with water using my Ranger Distress Sprayer, placed it in the Sizzix Leaf Pattern Textured Impressions 3D Embossing Folder, and ran it through the Big Shot. OMG, look at that embossed detail!

I die cut all the pieces for the focal image using the Sizzix Mistletoe Leaves Thinlits – the bow from Stardream Metallic Eris, the mistletoe leaves from Stardream Metallic Fairway and Scottish Highlands Green, and the berries from Habanero Red. I stamped the sentiment from the Waffle Flower Inside Christmas Sentiments stamp set in Memento Olive Grove ink and cut it with a Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Die. The finishing touch was adding a few iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the Habanero Red and Scottish Highlands Green cardstock used on the front as well as a couple extra mistletoe berries. I stamped another sentiment from the Waffle Flower Christmas Sentiments stamp set in Memento Olive Grove ink, and this completed the card.

best friends furever

Howdy, peeps! Can you believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving already? Where has this month gone?! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making an adorable BFF card. This interactive card features our Sandcastle and Lessebo Cement Gray cardstock along with my trusty studio staple, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White. I also used the Waffle Flower Intertwined Pups Die, some super cute papers from the Keep It Simple Max & Daisy Collection, and stamps and dies from the Keep It Simple Build-A-Doghouse stamp set. I’ve never owned any lab pups but these are absolutely adorable!

I cut an A2 size flat card base from Lessebo Cement Gray cardstock along with a layering panel from a print in the Keep It Simple Max & Daisy Collection. Using the Waffle Flower Intertwined Pups Die, I cut the pups from Sandcastle cardstock and colored their noses with a Copic Ciao E47 alcohol marker. I cut their bandanas from a couple more prints in the Max & Daisy Collection. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Build-A-Doghouse stamps in Catherine Pooler Daydream ink on a 80# Solar White cardstock scrap and tore it across the top and bottom. I added a couple enamel dots from the Keep It Simple Hello Adventure Enamel Dots which completed the card front.

I cut the back panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a scrap of the teal print used on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in the Daydream ink. I die cut a bone using the KIS Cuts Build-A-Doghouse die set, colored it with a Copic Ciao W-0 alcohol marker, and adhered it to the lower left corner.

Furever In Our Hearts

Hey everybody, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a sweet pet sympathy card. Sympathy cards for humans or pets are typically difficult for me but this one came together fairly easily, probably because of my favorite Lessebo cardstock and the awesome Waffle Flower Gradient Heart Panel Dies I used. Our Lessebo cardstock is on sale this month, so be sure to stock up! I used Cherry Red, Brick Orange, Sunflower Yellow, Hunter Green and Navy Blue, all from the Lessebo line.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I then used the Waffle Flower Gradient Heart Panel Dies to cut all the heart-shaped pieces for the focal panel from the Lessebo cardstock in rainbow colors. I used a Paper Smooches Cat Icons paw die to cut the shape from the center of the heart and backed it with blue cardstock. I assembled the panel, added foam strips to the back and adhered it to the card base. I stamped the sentiments from the Kat Scrappiness Rainbow Bridge stamp set in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I added a few iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with varying sizes of strips cut from leftover pieces of the Lessebo cardstock used on the front. I stamped another sentiment and the angel pup image from the same stamp set in the Juniper Mist ink and added the halo stamped in Catherine Pooler Shea Butter ink.

Haunted House hidden compartment book

Hey everybody! It’s Thursday already and I hope you’re having a great week! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a fun Halloween-themed hidden compartment book. I used the Lori Whitlock Hidden Compartment Book Box SVG cut file with my Cricut, and cut the pieces from our Twine, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Stardream Metallic Antique Gold and Basis Dark Orange. I love a good 3D project and this was a fun one! There are all kinds of fun goodies that can be hidden inside. ;)

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori Whitlock’s Hidden Compartment Book Box SVG cut file, I cut the box from Twine, the spine from Pop Tone Black Licorice, the front and back cover from a buffalo check print in the Echo Park Spooky Collection Kit, the frame for the inside hidden compartment from Basis Dark Orange, and the ‘pages’ from Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock. I decorated the front and spine with stickers, chipboard and enamel dots from Echo Park and Carta Bella.

Here’s one additional shot of the hidden compartment inside. I added two small disc magnets to keep the book closed. The Basis Dark Orange cardstock I used for the frame is no longer in stock but there are other orange cardstock colors that could be used instead.

Boo! Halloween Shadowbox

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a fabulous day! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a Halloween shadowbox. The actual shadowbox portion was cut with my Cricut in addition to the layered panels that make up the scene! So stinkin’ fun! I literally have thousands of SVG cut files (almost 13,000 to be exact) and I’ve been trying to pick random ones that I’ve never made before. This Halloween shadowbox is one in a bundle from Lori Whitlock and features our Brick Orange, Flame Orange, Sunset Orange and Pitch Black (all from the Lessebo line), along with our Basis Gray and Cougar Smooth White cardstock.

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori Whitlock’s 8×8 Halloween Shadowbox SVG cut file, I cut the shadowbox pieces and the ghost layer from 12×12 Cougar Smooth 100# White. Next I cut the two black layers from Lessebo Pitch Black, the gray layer from Basis Gray, and the orange layers from Lessebo Brick Orange, Lessebo Flame Orange and Lessebo Sunset Orange.

I used Scrapbook.com double-sided adhesive foam squares for a little dimension between the layers. I die cut the BOO! sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Boo To You Framelits from a scrap piece of the Cougar Smooth White cardstock. The final touch was adding strips of Basis Gray around the opening and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots along the mitered edge in each corner. I am totally in love with this project and will soon be making the other two shadowboxes in the bundle! ;)

Wishing You A Beautiful Day

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – we’re on the downslide to the weekend! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a gorgeous Fall-themed floral box card. I used the Flowers In Bloom Box Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick along with my Cricut Explore Air 2 and a variety of our cardstock, mostly from the Lessebo line. I’m in full-on Fall mode so with the colors of cardstock I chose, it definitely has some Fall vibes going on! ;)

I cut the card base from Lessebo Sunflower Yellow and the layering panels from Lessebo Coffee Bean and Basis Light Yellow. Next, I cut the baby’s breath from Lessebo White, and the flowers from Lessebo Sunset Orange, Lessebo Flame Orange, Lessebo Brick Orange, Lessebo Cherry Red, and Lessebo Dawn Maroon. And finally, I cut the flower centers from Lessebo Coffee Bean and the greenery from Lessebo Moss Green and Mantis Green. I printed the sentiment on Lessebo White (from a PDF included in the cut file) and trimmed it.

This was an absolutely beautiful assembly process, especially with these colors. Here is an angled view and a view of the back (with plenty of room to write a message and signature) and the matching A7 envelope cut from patterned paper.

Love Bus

Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! It’s the first week of September already and I have to ask just where has this year gone?! It’s crazy how fast the time is flying by! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute box card. I used the Love Bus Box Card SVG cut file from My Scrap Chick along with my Cricut Explore Air 2 and quite a variety of our cardstock. Us Baby Boomers all have a lil’ hippie in us and this turned out so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it! What a fun way to say hello to a friend!

I cut the card base and inserts from Cougar 100# White 12×12 cardstock. I used Basis Coral, Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Pop Tone Blue Raspberry, Poodle Skirt Pink, Cougar White, and Pink Tutu for the flowers. I also used Basis Coral for the LOVE word outlines on the inserts but unfortunately it’s no longer in stock. There are other coral cardstock options that could be used instead.

Next, I used Wild Salmon for the bus side panels and two flowers, and Poodle Skirt Pink for the LOVE word. Additionally, I used Lava Stone Gray and White for the head lights, Pop Tone Red Hot for the tail lights, and Jet Stream Blue for the windows. And finally, I used Pop Tone Black Licorice, Lava Stone Gray and White for the wheels, along with Wild Salmon and White for the signature panel on the back.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun, and I totally enjoyed putting this box card together. Here are angled shots of the front and back – and I love all the details they’ve included!

Using the Keep It Simple Bizzy Hands Peace Gnomie stamp set, I stamped the peace sign (colored with alcohol markers) and sentiment on the back panel in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Like all box cards, this folds flat for mailing and fits in an A7 envelope cut from a gingham paper in the Simple Stories Wood & Gingham paper pad.

Fall Is Calling

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week is going along nicely! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a truck-shaped Fall card! I used a variety of cardstock for this one – Solar White, Stardream Metallic Flame, Bright Gold Foil and Dolphin Gray, along with Hot Fudge, Red Hot, and Black Licorice from our Pop Tone line. I also used dies and die cut pieces from Keep It Simple.

Using the KIS Cuts Vintage Truck dies, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. Next, I cut the main truck body, rear end, and tail gate from Stardream Metallic Flame cardstock. I used Bright Gold Foil for the tail gate trim, bumper and license tag frame, along with Pop Tone Red Hot for the tail lights, Pop Tone Black Licorice for the tires, and Dolphin Gray for the window and mirrors.

I used the KIS Cuts Twinkling Stars Font to cut the F-A-L-L letters from Pop Tone Hot Fudge, and added the pumpkins and garland from the Keep It Simple Autumn Charm Die Cut Pieces. The sentiment on the license plate was stamped in Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink using the Autumn Charm Collection Stamps. The finishing touch was adding a few small iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Hot Fudge and added a die cut oval cut with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies along with a sentiment from the Autumn Charm Collection Stamps and cut with the coordinating Outline Dies.
