I Love Fall

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.

Merry Christmas Shaker Album

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share for our ‘Christmas in July’ showcase! I hope you had a chance to hop with us this past weekend to get in on the chance to win a $50 gift certificate! Our design team shared some very festive projects to get everybody in the Christmas spirit, and my contribution for the hop was a stationery box you can see HERE! My project today is a super sweet Merry Christmas Shaker Album created in a pink and green color combo! OMGoodness, this was fun!

I created the album and pages from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and all the flip-ups and flip-outs from 80# Solar White cardstock. I used patterned papers from the Rose and Jade 12×12 Collection Packs for the cover, pages, and flips. I embellished the inside pages and flips with elements from the Christmas Bundle SVG Files, Stitched Squares Nested Dies, Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies, Rose Enamel Dots and Jade Enamel Dots. I used papers from the Lemon 12×12 Collection Pack for the Christmas tree stars.

I used the Belle Outline dies and Christmas Bundle SVG Files to embellish the shaker on the front. I made the shaker mix using Buttons Galore & More Pitter Patter Doo Dadz Embellishments, Limeade Sprintletz Embellishments, Love Story Half Pearlz Embellishments, Blizzard Sequin Mix and Pink Grapefruit Buttons.

Fa La La Stationery Box

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.

Accordion Mini Album

Happy Friday, everybody! I’m back this morning to share an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project! Today is the official launch of our new Craft Mode Collection! OMGoodness, cutness overload! You haven’t seen FUN until you’ve seen all the papers, stamps, dies, die cut pieces, and enamel dots in this collection! And the COLORS… oh my! I created a super cute accordion mini album with pockets and pull-outs!

I cut a 4″ square accordion mini album from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock. Using the fairly new Stitched Squares Nested Dies, I cut five squares from different colors in the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack.

I created pockets from three of the four die cut squares by punching half-circle thumb notches at the tops and adhering the squares with thin (1mm thick) foam squares. I created three top-folding pull-ups for the pockets and embellished them with squares die cut from patterns in the Craft Mode 6×9 Collection Pack using the Stitched Squares Nested Dies and the reserved half-circles. I also used Craft Mode Die Cut Pieces, At the Expo Die Cut Pieces and Craft Mode Enamel Dots to embellish the front of the album, the inside pages and the three pull-ups.

Backpack Summer Memories Mini Album

Howdy peeps! I hope your week is winding down nicely and you’re looking forward to a fabulous weekend! I’m absolutely delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the super awesome Lumberjack Collection that was released back in October of last year! This is such a fun collection with loads of gorgeous papers, stamps and die cuts, and I thought a backpack mini album was in order! I’ve made a few of these over the years and they are really quite fun! The original design came from an old Technique Junkies CD that I’ve had in my stash for probably ten years but I ended up reconfiguring the measurements several years ago because my laptop doesn’t have a CD-ROM. It’s a simple design, though, that’s easily replicated.

I cut the base, inside pages and journaling card from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock. The front pocket and panels were cut from a variety of patterns in the Lumberjack 6×6 Paper Pack. I embellished the journaling card and every other page in the album with a variety of Die Cut Pieces, Cards & Ephemera and Scene Building die cuts.

I die cut a variety of square, circle, rectangle and oval shapes from the Desert Storm cardstock using CottageCutz Double-Stitched Rectangle dies and Double-Stitched Oval dies along with My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX, Stitched Rectangle STAX, Double-Stitched Square STAX, Wonky Stitched Circle STAX and Wonky Stitched Square STAX. I used these to embellish the alternating pages, so there is plenty of room throughout the album for photos and journaling.

I used an Eyelet Outlet gold rim yellow jewel brad with a small disc magnet closure on the front flap, a tiny disc magnet closure on the pocket flap, and Really Reasonable Ribbon brown gold-edge ribbon for the straps.

Using the Belle Outline Alphabet stamp set, I stamped DAD in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut the letters.

I stamped a sentiment from the Congratulations sentiment stamp set in black ink on the license plate which completed the card front.

I die cut the inside panel using a My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX and stamped a sentiment from the Birthday sentiment stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink. The finishing touch was stamping the small heart from the Get Well sentiment stamp set in Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink.

Twin Pocket Card

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I have a pretty Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, stickers, chipboard and enamel shapes from the amazing Clementine collection! I created a twin pocket card with a couple chipboard tags tucked into the pockets, and love how it turned out. This is one of my absolute favorite bundles because the sky is the limit with the amazing inspirational projects that can be created with it.

I created the card base from a pretty double-sided paper from the Clementine Flipside Pack. I die cut a mini scallop circle from a coordinating paper in the collection, adhered it to a sentiment and added a butterfly (both from the Sticker Sheet) which I popped up on foam tape. I finished the front with a couple Clementine Enamel Shapes.

I added Really Reasonable Ribbon pink satin diamond ribbon with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine to two tags from the Chipboard Sheet which are tucked into the pockets.

7/15/23 June Site-Wide Winner at The Outlawz Challenges!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I have a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share with you today created with the super adorable new Party Dress Dies that were just released last month! I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this die set is, and the possibilities are endless with the colors, prints and occasions you can use them for! I love a pink and orange color combo, so that’s the direction I went with this birthday card!

Using the Party Dress dies, I cut the card base and layers from papers in the Mango and Rose 12×12 Collection Packs. I die cut a flower element from Stampin’ Up Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper and added a Clementine Pearl to the center. I assembled the card and added Clementine Rhinestones at the waistline and along with the flower element. I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday sentiment stamp set in Memento Morocco ink.

I die cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered a strip of one additional coordinating paper from the Rose 12×12 Collection Pack across the bottom. I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday sentiment stamp set in Memento Morocco ink along with two tiny hearts from the Get Well sentiment stamp set in Memento Rose Bud ink.
