I Put A Spell On You

9/15/23 Top 5 at Halloween Crafts All Year ‘Round!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! I’m back with my second post this morning and this one is a super cute Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with items in the NEW too-cute-to-spook A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! OMGoodness, I’m having THE best time with this collection! I’ve made another swing flap card which has quickly climbed to the top of my all-time favorite fun folds! It packs such a punch and is great for any occasion!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock along with a layering panel from a spider web print in the A Wee Bit Wicked 12×12 Collection Pack. I adhered the witch and cloud (from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces) to a square cut from Basis Black using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies. I added the front sentiment, a black and white striped strip and stars from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut Pieces, which completed the card front.

I layered an orange dot panel from the 12×12 Collection Pack on the inside, then stamped a sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Halloqueen Sentiments stamp set and cut it with the coordinating Halloqueen Outline Dies. I also added another star from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut Pieces and a cat from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces to complete the inside.

Here’s a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. Swoon! I SO love this fold!

A Wee Bit Wicked

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday to you! I have a FABulous Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with items from our newest collection, A Wee Bit Wicked, that was released yesterday! We have been chomping at the bit for release day to arrive and we’re super excited to share our projects with you! You know how I love me some fun folds, so I created a double easel fold featuring papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces! Oh my goodness, so much fun! And before I forget, coupon code WICKED10 gets you 10% off items in the A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! What a sweet deal! ;)

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and the scored panel and a die cut oval from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock. I cut layering panels and another die cut oval from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the witch, broom and kitty in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the pumpkin in Concord & 9th Marmalade ink on Solar White cardstock, and colored the witch and broom with alcohol markers. We hadn’t received the coordinating Best Witches dies yet because of a shipping delay so I fussy cut the images for this card. But the dies have come in and are available on the website. Dies are SO much easier than fussy cutting, lol! ;)

I embellished the tall panel with a large spider web and spider from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces. Then I layered the die cut ovals (cut with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies) on the short front panel along with the stamped and colored images. I finished the card front with a few stars and a sentiment from the Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper from the 6×9 Collection Pack and CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock used on the front. I stamped the sentiment from the Halloqueen Sentiments Stamps in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock and cut it with the coordinating Halloqueen Outline Dies.

Hey everybody! Dang… every time I blink another week has gone by! It’ll be Christmas before we know it! But for now, I’m delighted to bring you another Autumn-themed project from Keep It Simple featuring papers, stamps and dies along with die cut pieces from the new Autumn Charm Collection! You know I’m a fun fold fanatic and I’ve created a super adorable hidden message slider card! Yep, it looks pretty nonchalant when it’s closed, but pull the slider back and it reveals a hidden message! So cute I can’t stand it!

I created the base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock, cutting part of it with my Fiskars 12″ SureCut paper trimmer. I’ve had this paper trimmer for quite some time and it is THE best for cutting areas in the middle that aren’t cut from edge to edge. I cut layering panels and a frame from coordinating papers in the Autumn Charm 12×12 Collection Pack and assembled the base card. I used Darice double sided foam strips under the frame so there’s a little ‘wiggle room’ for the slider to go in and out. I also used a Stampin’ Up 1″ circle punch for the thumb notch and some Hemptique crafting cord for the pull on the slider.

I stamped the image from the Autumn Charm Fox & Hedgehog Stamps on Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I cut the image with the coordinating Autumn Charm Fox & Hedgehog Outline Dies and adhered it to an oval die cut created with the Stitched Ovals Nested Dies. I cut the actual hidden message from a card in the Autumn Charm Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces using a die in the Stitched Circles Nested Dies. The finishing touch was adding an Eyelet Outlet beige pearl strip.

Here’s one last shot of it folded flat for mailing. So fun! Unfortunately, I don’t remember specifically where I saw this fold – my instructions are handwritten. But if you’re interested, you can Google ‘hidden message slider card’ and quite a few photos and tutorials pop up. It looks complicated but it’s really fairly easy. ;)

Hey everybody! Well, another new week has rolled around and here we are in the middle of August! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with papers, die cut pieces and enamel dots in the amazing new Craft Mode Collection! I created a quilt block card featuring lots of bold bright colors. I just can’t get enough of these colors and the super adorable die cut pieces! Oh, and matching enamel dots… my favorite embellishment!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with a layering panel and embellishing strips from patterned papers in the Craft Mode 6×9 Collection Pack. Using the Stitched Squares Nesting Dies, I cut four squares from different colors of paper in the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack and arranged them along with the embellishing strips on the card front. I added a sentiment from the Craft Mode Die Cut Pieces along with matching Craft Mode Enamel Dots, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of patterned paper from the Craft Mode 6×9 Collection Pack used on the front. I added another sentiment from the Craft Mode Die Cut Pieces and layered the panel on a blue paper from the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack.

Hey everybody! Not sure where this year has gone but the months just continue to fly right on by! I’m delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, stamps and dies in the new Craft Mode Collection! This fun slimline shaker card features stamped and die cut craft supplies included in the shaker mix! How fun is that?!

I cut a 3-3/4″ x 9″ slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I then cut a layering panel from a pink print in the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack. Using the Wavy Slimline Die, I cut a shaker panel for the front from a green print in the Craft Mode 12×12 Collection Pack, reserving the negative spaces to use on the shaker, along with an acetate panel.

I stamped the scissors, tape, washi tape and glitter elements from the Craft Mode Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock. I colored them with fine point markers and cut them with the coordinating Craft Mode Outline Dies. I added Kat Scrappiness Crystal Clear Pinwheel Sequin Mix and Pearl Glass Dots along with the die cut craft supplies to the shaker and sealed it up. I stamped a sentiment from the same Craft Mode Stamps, trimmed it and adhered it to the top right corner of the shaker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with the green patterned paper used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the At The Expo Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layered the panel on the pink patterned paper used on the front.

Hey everybody! Happy Weekend… it’s almost over! Just like that! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the new Autumn Charm Collection! Oh.My.Goodness. Just when I think they can’t come up with anything cuter than what they’ve already released… BOOM, there it is! There are so many adorable papers, stamps and dies, and die cuts in this collection, I can’t stand it! Pumpkins, mushrooms, foxes, hedgehogs and all kinds of critters! And you know how I love me some fun folds, so I created a triple cube card showcasing lots of papers and die cuts!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock and assembled it. Using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut six stitched squares from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack which I layered onto slightly larger square panels cut from CutCardStock Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock. I embellished each of the squares and created a sentiment panel with die cuts from the Autumn Foxes and Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the back panels from Basis Natural cardstock and embellished them with die cuts from the Autumn Foxes and Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layered the panels on Hot Fudge cardstock.

Fa La La Stationery Box

8/9/23 Top 3 Winner at Crafty Gals Corner!

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday… another week is behind us which means we’re a little closer to Christmas and that sure doesn’t disappoint me! I’m delighted to be back with a ‘Christmas in July’ inspiration project to share for Keep It Simple DT! Don’t you just love seeing all the Christmas projects this time of year?! Our design team has created some pretty awesome projects to share and we’re having a social media hop, so be sure to check it out for a chance to win a gift certificate! I created a stationery box using products in our Scandinavian Christmas Collection!

This amazing little box contains six Christmas cards, six tags, three square notelets, an address book and pen, and a pocket for a book of stamps! I’ve made a couple of these over the years and if you’re interested in looking, they are HERE and HERE. The first one was sort of plain (although still very awesome) but the second one was stepped up a bit which is my favorite version of the two.

I created the stationery box base and lid using coordinating papers in the Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack from the Christmas Bundle. The fun part is always the assembly! I embellished the box and lid with Scandinavian Christmas Alphabits Die Cut Pieces and Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces along with some clear gemstones in my stash. I made the address book, pen loop and stamp pocket with the same paper collection and used Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces along with a couple strips of skinny gold washi tape in my stash.

Next, I made six tags, three 3×3 notelets and six A2 size cards to tuck into the pockets, all from Cougar Smooth White cardstock. I used papers from the Scandinavian Christmas 6×9 Collection Pack and 6×9 Cardstock Pack, Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies and Stitched Squares Nested dies for the notelets and cards. I hand-cut the tags and tied jute cord to them. I embellished all the cards and tags with items from the Santa & Friends Die Cut Pieces, Gnomes Die Cut Pieces and Royal Enamel Dots. I used the Santa & Friends Stamps for the sentiment on the cards, stamped in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink and popped up on foam strips. I made envelopes for the notelets and cards from 32# HP copy paper using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board.

Eat Sleep Craft Repeat

Hey everybody! Can you believe we’re in the middle of July already?! Where is the time going?! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with the new Craft Mode collection! This collection is seriously awesome! I created a double flap fun fold which reveals fun products from this collection on the front and on the two subsequent layers as the card is opened! #highpitchedsqueal

I cut the card base and layers from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock along with additional layering panels from the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack and the 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the sentiment from the Craft Mode Collection Stamps at the top, and created a focal sentiment using the At The Expo Collection Stamps and At The Expo Outline Dies which I colored with Sharpie Ultra Fine Point markers. I embellished the front and inside layers with Craft Mode Die Cut Pieces and Enamel Dots. Here are sequential shots of the card opening. So stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

Easter Truck

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m delighted to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project featuring the amazing Vintage Truck Dies along with the Bunny Season Easter Egg Stamps and Bunny Season Easter Egg Outline Die! Yes, I know… Easter is behind us but I’m sure by now you know I’m not a seasonal crafter! I have fun crafting all year long with the products I love and always enjoy getting a head-start on any season!

I cut a square top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a pretty dotted pattern from the Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack. Then, using the Vintage Truck dies and additional prints from the Lilac Collection Pack, as well as Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White and CutCardStock Dolphin Gray, Shadow Gray, Pop Tone Black Licorice, Bright Silver Foil and Tartan Red cardstock, I cut the truck pieces and assembled it on the card front. Using the Bunny Season Easter Egg Outline Die along with prints from the Jade 12×12 Collection Pack, Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack and Rose 12×12 Collection Pack, I die cut the Easter eggs and tucked them into the bed of the truck. Finally using the Bunny Season Easter Egg Stamps, I stamped the sentiment on the tail gate and license plate in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I cut the inside panel from two prints in the Lilac 12×12 Collection Pack as well as a truck shape from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White, and stamped another sentiment from the Bunny Season Easter Egg stamps in black ink.
