11/23/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends, I hope your week is off to a nice start! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Shaker Frames A2 Frames #5 along with papers, stamps and dies from our new Nuts About Fall Collection. This pretty Fall-themed card has the look of a sunken frame and is super easy. I love that the central die in this particular shaker frame die set can be used like the popular postage grid dies, which is how I used it here. ;)

The card base, a postage frame and a postage grid were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. One additional postage frame was cut from a plaid pattern in the Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack and layered on top of the white cardstock frame. I cut the inner frame from a dark pattern in the Collection Pack and adhered it to card base, and then adhered the outer postage frame and central postage grid which I popped up on 2mm adhesive foam strips from our Shaker Basics Foam & Acetate Pack, giving the appearance of a sunken frame.

I stamped multiple images from the Nuts About Fall Collection Stamps in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink, colored them with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I also stamped a sentiment (from the same stamp set) in the brown ink and cut it with the coordinating die. I arranged the images and sentiment in the grid spaces, popping some up on thin 1mm adhesive foam squares. The finishing touch was adding several Royal Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a frame cut from the plaid paper used on the front and a sentiment cut from the bonus cut-apart sheet in the Collection Pack. I layered the panel on the dark print (also used on the front), which completed the card.

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – did you survive the time change?! I personally wish they’d just leave the time alone. SMH. I’m thrilled to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring the square version of our new KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Ups. I made a Fall version using papers and die cut pieces from our new Nuts About Fall Collection. OMGosh, these little pop-ups are so stinkin’ fun and can be decorated a gazillion ways. You gotta check them out! I’m very honored because this die set was modeled after the carousel card I made earlier this year. That post is HERE if you’d like to see it. And I have to say that having the die set makes this project much more enjoyable versus hand-cutting the pieces. ;)

Using the KIS Cuts Circular Pop-Up: Square dies, I cut the base pieces from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock along with frames and panels for all the pages from coordinating prints in the Nuts About Fall 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished each page with items from the Nuts About Fall Die Cut Pieces, Mango Enamel Dots and Hearts, and Lilac Enamel Dots. I made a twine closure using Canvas Corp jute rope and a leaf charm from The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Here are shots of the front, inside pages and the back. I totally love how this turned out!
