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.

Howdy peeps! Dang, this month is flying by – hard to believe it’s already the 23rd! I’m excited to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with products in the new Lumberjack release! I love fun folds and create them quite regularly. ;) This one is a front flap thank you card created with the Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, Lumberjack Stamps and Lumberjack Outline Dies, and Camping Stamps and Camping Outline Dies. I also used the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set from my stash along with the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock which are already in the store.

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from prints in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock, and stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set (from my stash) in the lower right corner. Using the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, I die cut a circle from a print in the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I created a little scene with stamped, colored and die cut elements from the Lumberjack Stamp & Die Bundle and Lumberjack Camping Stamp & Die Bundle. I also used a grass print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 12×12 Cardstock and fussy cut clouds from a print in the Lumberjack Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock, stamped a sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink from the Lumberjack Stamps, and layered the panel on a print from the Back To Basics Jade Collection Pack 6×6 Cardstock.

Hi everyone! Oh Happy Day! I hope you have a fun weekend planned! I’m absolutely delighted to be on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with my first project as a new design team member! I created a friendship card featuring a pretty Autumn wreath.

OMGoodness, I can’t even describe how much I enjoyed creating this card because Autumn/Fall is my favorite time of year! I completely covered the front panel with Autumn Washi Tape. I cut a round frame using two circle dies and built the wreath from a bunch of leaf die cuts. I embellished the wreath with Leaf Brads and Scarecrow Brads and adhered it to the front panel. I layered the front panel on orange cardstock and adhered it to the card base. I added a bow at the bottom of the wreath and a stamped sentiment flag in the center of the wreath.

I embellished the inside panel with another strip of the Autumn Washi Tape and a leftover leaf die cut. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and layered the panel on the orange cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! That Washi Tape and those brads are amazing and so fun to work with!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great week! This is my very first crafty post on my new blog and I couldn’t be more stoked! I realize it’ll be a while before all my blogger friends find me here but I’m still excited and hope it won’t take too long. It was definitely time to make a switch and I wanted something cheerful and fun, so I created this blog (named after my beloved Love To Scrap!) in some pretty bright colors! Our newest challenge at Let’s Craft and Create began on the 5th and I’m happy to share my mid-month DT inspiration project for Challenge #121 – Things With Wings! I created a monochrome friendship card in shades of teal with a pop of black.

I used coordinating Stampin’ Up! stamps, ink, papers and cardstock, and colored the flowers with matching Spectrum Noir markers. Can you believe there’s no big bow?! LOL

My first spinner card! I stamped the dragonfly on the spinner and colored the wings with clear Wink of Stella for a little shimmer.

Dragonflies are so majestic and beautiful – right up there with butterflies in my opinion. I really enjoyed creating this card and love how it turned out.

I’m happy to enter this fun spinner card into the following challenges:

Recipe:
Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Island Indigo and Basic Black cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Regals DSP Stack
