Tag: Keep It Simple DT

dream BIG little one

Hi friends, happy weekend! I hope you’re having a great one! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today… a super cute star shaker card featuring our new KIS Cuts: Stitched Stars dies, an assortment of 12×12 papers from our Back To Basics line, Little Dreamer 6×9 papers and die cut pieces, Floral Baby Land Babies stamps and dies, and some pretty Sprinkles! To say this was FUN is an understatement… who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

I cut the top-folding square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from two coordinating prints in the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. Using a Stitched Star die, I cut an aperture into the plaid panel. I then cut a frame from a paper in the Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack using that same die and one slightly larger.

I used adhesive strips and acetate to create the shaker, filling it with beads and polymer clay Sprinkles. I also cut a bunch of tiny stars (using the smallest Stitched Star die) from green, pink, yellow, lilac and blue papers in the 12×12 Collection Packs listed below which I included in the shaker filler. Lastly, stamped a sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps in Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut it with the coordinating Floral Baby Outline Die.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a strip of paper from the Little Dreamer 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment from the Floral Baby Land Babies Collection stamps and cut it with the coordinating die. The final step was adding a star die cut from the Little Dreamer Die Cut Pieces. Love, love, love how this turned out!

La Vie En Rose

Hey everybody, hope you’re enjoying some pretty weather! It’s gorgeous here and not too awfully warm yet. I’m thrilled to share this Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. It’s been a minute since I created a rocker card, and this one features our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Circles along with papers and die cut pieces from our new La Vie En Rose collection. I absolutely love this collection as it has a real vintage-y vibe to it.

La Vie En Rose is a French phrase meaning “life in pink” or “life through rose-colored glasses”. It represents an optimistic, romantic, and blissful outlook on life where one sees the world as beautiful, carefree, and filled with love. What better way to wish someone a happy birthday!

Using the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Circles, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with half-scallop layering panels from coordinating prints in the La Vie En Rose 12×12 Collection Pack. I went to town adding ephemera from the La Vie En Rose Die Cut Pieces, including a tag on which I tied some of our Back To Basics Jute Twine. The finishing touch was adding several Back To Basics Ruby Enamel Dots.

I cut a half-scallop panel for the inside which I embellished with more die cut pieces. Love, love, love how this one turned out!

Hey everybody, happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created with papers, stamps and dies from our new Adventure & Beyond collection, along with our new Embossed Circles Dies (coming soon) and our Nested Stitched Circles Dies! This front flap card is among my top ten favorite fun folds and is an easy one to make. As with any of the fun folds I make, let me know if you’d like the instructions. ;)

I cut the flat card base and an embossed circle from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock, the front flap from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural cardstock, and layering panels and a stitched circle from assorted prints in the Adventure & Beyond 12×12 Collection Pack.

I stamped the pony from The Toybox Collection Stamps and the horse shoe from the Playtime Collection Stamps in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I cut the pony with the coordinating Outline Die and fussy cut the horse shoe. I assembled the card, popping up the pony on foam squares. I stamped a sentiment from the Playtime Collection Stamps and added several Kraft Enamel Dots.

I embellished the inside of the front flap with a strip of paper used on the front and a stamped/die cut image. I stamped a sentiment from the Playtime Collection Stamps in the Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and this completed this super cute card.

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re into May already?! Where did April go?! I have THE cutest Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share for National Scrapbooking Day! I created a tag shaped tri-fold card featuring our Stitched Tag dies, papers and die cut pieces from our Cheerful Cottage collection, and Back To Basics Lemon ribbon. To celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, the Keep It Simple design team is hosting a hop over on Instagram, so be sure to check out the fabulous projects we’ve created! Start on Allison’s page HERE to see some great inspiration!

Using a Stitched Tags die, I cut the tri-fold card base from Classic Crest Recycled Natural White cardstock along with layering panels for each section from assorted prints in the Cheerful Cottage collection. I embellished each section with Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, popping some of them up on foam squares.

And here are the last two sections. I cut the sentiment panel from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock using the next smaller die, and then added more die cut pieces. Such a fun project that came together in no time!

Vacation mini album

Happy Saturday, y’all! I hope you’re enjoying some ‘real’ Spring weather where you are and Mother Nature isn’t trying to fool you like she’s been fooling us, lol! We’ve had several ‘fake’ bouts of Spring here that only last a day or two and then it turns cold again! We’ve even had more snow, dang it! I have to ask if you’ve seen any of the kits on the Keep It Simple website?! If you haven’t, you really need to go take a peek (pssst… HERE)!

I’m delighted to share this adorable camera shaker mini album featuring the KIS Kits: Wander Camera Mini Album. To say this was fun putting together would be an understatement! These kits are reasonably priced and contain everything needed to make the project with lots of stuff left over. They are definitely fun for beginner crafters – and I would even go as far as saying intermediate and advanced crafters as well. There are just so many things you can do with them… the possibilities are endless!

I pretty much went by the photos of each page for this one but did add a few custom things. I typically do my own thing but wanted to demonstrate how easy these are for beginners to follow. This one has an included shaker on the front which is a really fun addition.

I used extra papers and die cut pieces from the Wander Collection which obviously matched perfectly, and added alphabet beads from my stash to the book rings (spelling GOOD TIMES & MEMORIES). I used a variety of our Back To Basics enamel dots throughout, along with white ribbon and jute twine on the three tags inside. Here’s another shot of the front, all the inside pages, and the back.

Hey everybody, happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring papers, stamps and dies from our new Sweet Spring collection. This is indeed a great collection, and if you’re longing for ‘real’ Spring like the rest of us, you’ll love this! It’s been a minute since I made a corner fold like this one; in fact, this version is one of the first fun folds I ever made way back in the day so it’s near and dear to my heart!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Brick Orange cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Sweet Spring 12×12 Collection Pack. I chopped off the top right corner and glued it flat rather than scoring and bending it. I’ve done this a number of times to reduce bulk with thicker cardstock and always love how clean it looks.

I stamped several images from the Sweet Spring Collection Stamps on 110# Solar White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with alcohol markers. I stamped them a second time in Versafine Onyx Black ink to get good crisp lines and then cut them with the coordinating Sweet Spring Outline Dies. I added details with a Sakura White Gelly roll pen and then adhered them to the card front. I glued some of them flat and popped some of them up on foam squares of varying thicknesses. I stamped a sentiment and fussy cut it, and then added Back To Basics Clear Enamel Dots to the flower centers.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and cut it off at an angle. I stamped another sentiment and image from the Sweet Spring Collection Stamps and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a great week! I have a super cute and very easy project to share for Keep It Simple today! I made this simple pillar card for the How-To’s section on the website, and it features primarily papers and die cut pieces from our new-ish Barnyard Bliss collection. I know there are lots of crafters out there who make fun folds all the time (I’ll raise my hand), and on the flip side of that, there are many who have never attempted to make one at all due to sheer intimidation. I would love to change that! My tutorial for this fun fold will help guide anyone reading it through the ins and outs of making this easy card, so be sure to check it out!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a plaid print (in the Barnyard Bliss collection), CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and 80# Solar White. I grabbed several die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection to embellish both sides, popping a few of them up on small and large 1mm foam squares from the Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips. I stamped a sentiment from the KIS Sentiment Stamps Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, which completed the card.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction – and it folds flat for mailing! I’d love to know if you make one. If you’ve never attempted a fun fold before, you’ll make yourself proud!

Happy Birthday shaker

04/04/26 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Howdy peeps, happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles. I also used papers, stamps and dies from our Happy Birthday collection and a variety of shaker bits from our Sprinkles line to make this super cute birthday shaker! I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a shaker card?!

Our new nested stitched scallop dies are large, so I pulled out my oversized die cutting machine and cut a large scallop square (from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Squares) from Solar White cardstock, scored it, and folded it in half. I grabbed a scallop rectangle die from the KIS Cuts Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles and cut two from coordinating prints in the Happy Birthday collection. I cut a rectangular aperture in the yellow one with a Back To Basics Nested Stitched Rectangles Die and made a shaker.

I used acetate and foam strips from our Back To Basics line along with Polymer Clay Mini Pastel Confetti, Polymer Clay Rainbow Mix Hollow Circles, Sequins Arctic Hearts, and 2mm Beads Pearls for the shaker mix. I stamped a sentiment and several images from the Happy Birthday Collection Stamps, colored the images with a variety of markers, and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I cut the inside panels from Solar White and the same yellow print used on the front, and added stamped and die cut sentiments and an image colored with markers. Such a fun card to make!

Hey everybody – hope you’re having a Terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in to share one more booth sample I created for Keep It Simple. I’ve made several shaped cards and a fun fold featuring some of our older die sets used with some of our newer collections, and posted the other four a few days ago, pointing everyone to the KIS Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March.

So this last sample is a shaker (who doesn’t love shaker cards?!) and it features our KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies along with papers and die cut pieces from the Life Is Sweet collection. Today is the last day of National Craft Month and this card, along with several other shaker projects my fellow DT members made, is being used in the shaker Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram. Be sure to check it out – there’s a whole lotta fun in all of our shaker projects!

I cut the card base from 110# Solar White along with all the other pieces for this shaped shaker card from assorted prints in the Life Is Sweet 6×9 Collection Pack using the KIS Cuts Freshly Brewed dies. I grabbed some die cuts from the Life Is Sweet Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. To create the shaker, I used acetate from our Shaker Basics line, foam strips from our Adhesive Basics line, and a variety of Sprinkles for the shaker mix.

I embellished the inside with a couple more pieces cut with the Freshly Brewed dies a couple more die cut pieces. So stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it! LOVE how this turned out!

Hey everybody! Alright, I’m back with the last of four posts for Keep It Simple today. I created this super cute triangle accordion card for a booth sample at the expos. It was also used for the die cutting Crafty Tips & Tricks feature on Instagram last weekend to commemorate National Craft Month in March! This card features the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card dies along with papers and die cut pieces from our Vikings collection. I will point out that this version does not have the pocket feature that can be added with the die set.

Using the KIS Cuts Triangle Accordion Pocket Card dies, I cut the card base from CutCardStock Black 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Vikings 6×9 Collection Pack. This one was really fun embellishing with Die Cut Pieces from the Vikings Collection. I added several Back To Basics Rose Enamel Dots to finish off the front.

I also added several die cuts and a trimmed sentiment from the cut-apart sheet to the inside. The triangular sentiment panel was cut from Classic Crest Recycled 100% Classic Natural White cardstock. This is the version I mentioned above that does not have the pocket feature – it’s just a flat sentiment panel. Love this! So stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it!
