Keep It Simple DT – Love To Scrap 2

Country Christmas Shaker Cards

Hi friends – it’s Friday the 13th, lol! Not superstitious here at all! I hope you are enjoying some gorgeous weather like we’re having… it’s a little chilly but that’s how we like it! I am stoked to share this Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with our Country Christmas Shaker Cards Kit. All the supplies needed (plus extras) are included in this kit to make two gorgeous shaker cards to give family or friends on your Christmas card list. All you need is glue. One card is tag shaped and the other is shaped like a mason jar. This is some seriously good fun in a package that you don’t want to miss!

Here are front angled shots of each card. Aren’t they just gorgeous?! AND super easy to assemble!

And here are two straight frontal shots.

Finally, here are shots of the inside of each card. I just love how these turned out. It goes without saying that the recipients of these cards will be absolutely thrilled. And the kit would be so fun to gift to a crafter so they can make their own!

Happy Monday, y’all! Can you believe it’s November already?! I’m just shaking my head at how quickly this year has flown by. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new Forget Me Not stamps. OMG, they are gorgeous! I created this triple cube card for the How-To section of the KIS website, so be sure to check out my tutorial if you’d like to know how to make this amazing fun fold! It’s definitely one of my all-time favorites! I’ve used a few other products on the website which I’ll list below.

I started by stamping a sentiment and random florals from the KIS Stamps: Forget Me Not set onto Classic Crest 80# Solar White, and colored the images with alcohol markers. I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Misty Blue cardstock along with layering panels from the stamped panel as well as prints from the Black & White 12×12 Collection Pack and Jasmine 6×9 Collection Pack. I used the Nested Stitched Squares to cut the six panels from the stamped piece and also the Nested Stitched Rectangles to cut the sentiment.

I cut two additional panels for the back from Classic Crest 80# Solar White and stamped a floral on one and a sentiment on the other. I added a small yellow gemstone to the center of each floral on the square panels as well as the back panel, and this completed the card.

Hi friends, here’s another wish for a happy Tuesday! I’m thrilled to pop in a second time today to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you. This gorgeous cup shaped card features papers, stamps and die cut pieces from our new Country Christmas collection (which I absolutely adore) and our KIS Cuts: Freshly Brewed dies. This was such as easy card to put together and I love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Dolphin Gray cardstock using the KIS Cuts: Freshly Brewed dies along with layering panels from prints in the Country Christmas 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished the front with images and a sentiment from the Country Christmas Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding a few Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I die cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Country Christmas Collection Stamps in Memento Olive Grove ink. Added a couple more hearts from the die cut pieces, and the card was complete.

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’ve popped in with a super cute inspiration project for Keep It Simple featuring papers, stamps and dies from the Autumn Harvest collection. I’ve made several of these tri-fold hidden door fun folds over the past year or so and each one is just as fun as the previous one. There are extra panels for images and sentiments which make this design really fun to embellish! And this collection is beyond adorable!

I cut the card base and panel from CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange along with layering panels from an assortment of prints in the Harvest Autumn 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped a variety of sentiments and images from the Harvest Autumn Collection Stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored the images with alcohol markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies. I did use a sentiment on the front from the cut-apart sheet in the paper pack, and added several enamel hearts and enamel dots from our Back To Basics line.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock and added more stamped and die cut sentiments and images. As with all fun folds, the most fun is assembling them. Love how this one turned out!

Hey everybody, I hope you have something fun planned this weekend and you’re enjoying some beautiful Fall weather! It certainly is gorgeous here! I’ve popped in for my second post this morning to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you. I created this adorable camera shaped card which features papers, stamps, dies, and die cut pieces from our new Boho Floral collection! I used our KIS Cuts: Camera dies and assorted enamel dots and hearts to bring this card to life. It was definitely a fun one!

Using the KIS Cuts: Camera dies, I cut the shaped card base from CutCardStock Glama Brown Kraft cardstock along with the camera elements and layering panels from assorted prints in the Boho Floral 6×9 Collection Pack. I embellished the card front with Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces and Back To Basics Enamel Dots and Hearts.

I used the Boho Floral Collection Stamps for the sentiment. I stamped it in Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing Ink on a piece of our acetate, heat embossed it in Brutus Monroe Alabaster Embossing Powder, and then cut it with the coordinating Boho Floral Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a print in the Boho Floral Collection, then stamped a sentiment from the Boho Floral Collection Stamps in Memento Espresso Truffle ink. The final step was adding another floral from the Boho Floral Die Cut Pieces.

Hey everybody, happy Tuesday! I hope your week has started off nicely and you’re enjoying a little bit cooler weather! It’s officially Fall! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This anchored swing flap is one of my favorite fun fold designs and it features papers, stamps and dies from our Once Upon A Time: Rapunzel collection along with a few other products on the website. If you love Princesses, this collection is for you!

I cut the card base and swing flap element from CutCardStock Lessebo Aubergine and Light Yellow cardstock along with a layering panel from a print in the Rapunzel 6×9 Collection Pack. Using the Rapunzel Collection Stamps, I stamped images on Classic Crest 110# Solar White and the Light Yellow cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I also stamped some sentiments on Light Yellow cardstock and then cut all the images and sentiments with the coordinating Rapunzel Outline Dies.

I used a die in the Back To Basics Nested Stitched Ovals Dies to cut the oval aperture into the front flap, assembled the card and embellished it with Back To Basics Lilac Enamel Hearts and Back To Basics Pastel Glitter Enamel Dots in yellow.

I embellished the inside with a strip and a panel cut from another print in the collection and added an additional stamped sentiment. Such a fun design!

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! We are SO enjoying the cooler weather that’s finally arrived here! I’ve popped in today to share a congrats shaker card for Keep It Simple featuring our embossed squares dies that were released back in May, I believe. This offset stacked squares design was a fun one that yields some great dimension. And, of course, who doesn’t love a shaker?!

I cut a square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with four square layering panels which I die cut from 80# Solar White, teal, lime and lemon paper from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs using four of the embossed squares dies.

I created a shaker from the smallest square, adding Metallic Crush Rivers Edge and 2mm Beads Clear Caviar Glass from our Sprinkles line. I added a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, along with teal and white enamel dots, which completed the card front.

I die cut two square layering panels for the inside from the 80# Solar White and teal paper using two of the embossed squares dies. I stamped another sentiment from the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, and this card was complete.

Hey everybody, happy weekend! I hope you are doing something fun! I have THE cutest fun fold to share today for Keep It Simple! This Z-fold double flap features papers and die cut pieces from our new Merry Grinchmas collection – this collection is so stinkin’ fun I can’t even stand it! I mean, seriously… who doesn’t love the Grinch?! AND this card has a spinner element that takes it to the next level! I cannot remember where I originally saw this fun fold design but fairly recently ran across a similar version on Connie Stewart’s blog HERE.

I cut the card base and double flap element from CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot, along with laying panels from American Crafts Cricket Glitter Paper, Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, and prints in the Merry Grinchmas 6×9 Collection Pack. I added die cuts from the Merry Grinchmas Die Cut Pieces, putting one of them on a Back To Basics Spinners. How fun is that?!

I cut the panel inside the double flap from Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and added a few more die cuts. Super simple design that really packs a punch!

Hi friends! Is the weather cooling off any where you are? We’ve seen a slight drop in our nighttime temps but still have a bit of humidity. Nothing major, though. I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Viva Mexico collection along with a few varieties of our Sprinkles! Who doesn’t love a shaker card?! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating with these pretty papers and thought a fun ‘happy birthday’ card was in order (that’s the definition of the post title)! ;)

I used a pre-scored 110# Solar White card base from CutCardStock (they are SO handy to have) and then cut layering panels from assorted prints in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I used the A2 Shaker Frame #2 for the main frame, cut from 110# Solar White. I used a Shaker Basics acetate sheet, three varieties of our Sprinkles, and our Adhesive Basics Strips to create the three-compartment shaker. I stamped the image and sentiment on Solar White cardstock as well and colored the image with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I added a few details with my Stampin’ Up! white gel pen.

I cut an inside panel from the blue patterned paper used on the front (from the 12×12 Collection Pack) along with a couple frames using the A2 Shaker Frame #2 and #3 die sets. To complete the card, I added an additional ‘all the best’ sentiment along with another stamped and die cut image.
