Leaves are Falling

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great Monday! I’m back this afternoon with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the amazing Autumn Charm Collection! This is honestly one of the best Autumn/Fall collections out there as far as I’m concerned and I’ve had a large time creating with it! I created an impossible card – and I don’t remember where I saw it originally so I can’t give anyone credit – but it was many years ago and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. Just search the web for it and you’ll get tons of results. It’s an easy one and I’ve seen it made with both one and two horizontal bands. I prefer making it with two because they balance it out and give it a tad more stability.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the 12×12 Collection Pack. This is a fun one to assemble!

I stamped the focal image using stamps in the Autumn Sentiments Stamps and cut the image with the coordinating Autumn Sentiments Outline Dies. I used a variety of die cuts from the Autumn Foxes Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. The finishing touch was adding some small light green gemstones to the focal image panel and a few scattered brown gemstones on the base.

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 this morning created with the amazing Autumn Charm Collection! I’m in love with literally everything in this collection and have had THE best time creating projects – and this swing easel card is no exception! Of course, I’m a huge fan of Autumn and Fall, so that explains quite a bit! This fun fold was showcased in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter back some time ago HERE if you’re interested. It’s definitely a fun one!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# white cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the 12×12 Collection Pack. As with most fun folds and 3-D projects, the assembly is always the most fun!

I used a variety of die cuts from the Autumn Foxes Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card along with a butterfly from the Autumn Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces. I popped several of the elements up with foam strips.

Hey everybody! A big ol’ Happy Thursday to you all! I’ve popped in today with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the NEW Ski Resort Collection! OMGoodness, I bet you could hear me squealing all the way where you live, lol! This is a FABulous collection to say the least! Use code SKI10 for 10% off your Ski Resort order! I created several awesome projects with this collection and the first one we’re sharing is a super fun pull tab flip card! My inspiration came from Aubrey over at the StampingJill YouTube Channel HERE via my friend, Debbie. It’s really a pretty easy fold despite it’s complex look!

I cut the base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and one layering panel along with flip card layers from 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the Sweater Background on the layering panel and then stamped the sentiment and images from the Deck The Hills Collection Stamps on 80# Solar White as well, colored the images with alcohol markers and cut them all with the coordinating Deck The Hills Outline Dies. The other layering panel was cut from a pattern in the Collection Pack with the Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies.

I cut a half circle at the bottom of the card using the Stitched Circles Nested Dies. I embellished the inside of the flip card with die cuts from the Sentiments Die Cut Pieces and the Scenery Die Cut Pieces. I used some Back To Basics Royal Ribbon on the pull tab. This was definitely a fun one and packs a punch for the recipient!

Happy Autumn

Howdy, friends! I hope you’re having a great day! I’m back with my second post today to share one more Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with paper, dies and ephemera in the Farmhouse Fall Collection. I tell you, I sure have enjoyed these products and I could create Autumn and Fall stuff all year long! This is a flat card (meaning there is no flap and the second sentiment is on the back – kind of like a post card) with a raised inlaid die cut. I totally love the this technique and seem to be doing it often these days!

I cut a standard A2 size flat card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from a patterned paper in the 6×9 CardStock Pack. Using the largest background die in the Happy Autumn KIS Cuts, I cut an aperture into the layering panel and then cut two more background pieces from Basis Natural which I layered together for dimension. I die cut the rest of the pieces from papers in the Cardstock Pack, assembled the focal image and adhered it to the layered background, and then adhered it into the negative space on the card front. The finishing touch was adding a few Jade enamel dots.

I cut the back panel from Basis Natural cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the green paper used on the front. I added a sentiment from the Falling For You Ephemera Die Cut Pieces and layered the panel on navy paper.

Hey everybody! Happy Monday… it sure got here fast, didn’t it?! I’m back this morning with a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with papers, dies and die cut pieces in the FABulous Farmhouse Fall Collection! This clean and simple card features the amazingly large Happy Fall dies which I absolutely love! You don’t need anything else to embellish the front other than a few enamel dots!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. Using the Happy Fall KIS Cuts, I cut the largest background piece from a dark blue paper in the 6×9 Cardstock Pack and the next smaller background piece from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock (along with the words and hearts which I colored with alcohol markers). It was a breeze to assemble and the final touch was adding a few dark blue enamel dots from the Hello Adventure Collection.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# Natural cardstock and embellished it with a strip cut from the navy blue paper used on the front. I added a sentiment tag from the Falling For You Ephemera Die Cuts and then layered the panel on more of the navy blue paper.

Drink Up, Witches!

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having an awesome week – it’s Friday! I’m delighted to be back with an inspiration project to share for Keep It Simple DT! I just love seeing all the spooky and not-so-spooky Halloween projects this time of year! Our design team has created some awesome projects and we’re having a social media HOP to share some last-minute Halloween project ideas today, tomorrow and Sunday! There’s a full HOP list on my Instagram post HERE if you want to hop along!

If you are hopping along – and hopefully enjoying our design team projects – then you’ve landed here because I’m the last stop on the hop! And I have blog candy!

I’ll draw a winner on Monday, October 30th!

I created a very cool pop out gatefold card featuring papers and die cut pieces from the ‘A Wee Bit Wicked’ Collection! I am totally in love with literally everything in this collection! My inspiration for this fold came from Sandie on the Stampingbella DT. Her tutorial is HERE on the Stampingbella blog if you’re interested. It was definitely a fun one and I totally love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the A Wee Bit Wicked 6×9 Collection Pack. I used quite a few die cuts from the A Wee Bit Wicked Wee Bits Die Cut Pieces to embellish the card. I used a piece of black thread to connect the spiders to the web.

Here’s a shot of the card closed and folded flat for mailing. There is room on the back for a signature and optional message which I didn’t photograph.

hello Winter

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, die cut pieces, stamps and dies in the new Snow Day Collection! OMGoodness, yumminess to the third degree here, folks! The colors in this collection are amazing and absolutely fitting for Winter-themed projects! I created a double pleated card, also known as a drapery fold, with a little twist. Our papers are robust, so instead of folding the paper, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. This took a little extra time but yielded a very cool design which was flatter than it would have been folded.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a navy paper in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the pleated panel from a coordinating print and instead of folding, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. I added a horizontal strip across the front of the panel and added the sentiment pieces from the Words and Phrases Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding several Clear Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover triangle cut from the pleated panel on the front. I stamped a sentiment in Memento Paris Dusk ink from the Collection Stamp and cut it with an Outline Die. The final step was adhering the panel to a navy layer.

You’re Awesome

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope your week is off to a nice start! I’m delighted to share that the Keep It Simple design team has embarked on a new adventure called Technique Tuesday and I’m the first one to have a go at it! On the third Tuesday of every month our DT members will take turns showcasing a project featuring some sort of fun technique they’ve employed using Keep It Simple products of their choice, and will do a mini tutorial on it.

I created a slimline thank you card featuring the phantom die cutting technique which I absolutely love. I used papers from the Farmhouse Fall collection, Belle Outline Dies and Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set. And the best part is that I upcycled a piece of an empty tissue box. Don’t throw them away when they’re empty because they make the prettiest cards! This one goes perfectly with the green Farmhouse Fall papers!

(1) Using the Belle Outline Dies, die cut the sentiment into the card panel (upcycled tissue box).
(2) Die cut the same letters from white craft foam.
(3) Adhere the card panel to a patterned paper layer cut from a green paper in the Farmhouse Fall 12×12 Cardstock Pack.

Adhere the foam letters into the negative spaces.

Adhere the original letters cut from the card panel on top of the foam letters.

This is an angled view of the ‘phantom’ die cut letters.

This is the completed card front. The smaller stamped portion of the sentiment is from the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set, stamped on a scrap piece of the green paper used for the layering panel, heat embossed in white, and layered on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock. Two small Jade enamel dots were added for a little interest.

This is the completed card inside. The embellishing strip was cut from a paper in the 6×9 Cardstock Pack and the layering panel was cut from a paper in the 12×12 Cardstock Pack. The stamped sentiment is from the Thank You Sentiments Stamp Set.

Autumn-my favorite time of year

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! This sweet mini bendi card was created with papers and die cut pieces from the newly re-released Farmhouse Fall Collection! This is definitely a wonderful time of the year and all the products in this collection are just amazing and make the most wonderful Autumn- and Fall-themed projects!

I cut the mini bendi card base, elements and layering panels from double-sided papers in the 12×12 Cardstock Pack, 12×12 Collection Pack and the 6×9 Collection Pack. I grabbed quite a few pieces of ephemera from the Falling For You Die Cut Pieces and went to town putting it all together! The finishing touch was adding a couple Jade Enamel Dots to horizontal panel. This was definitely a fun one!

I used the Stitched Rectangles Nested Dies to cut two panels from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock for the back, and added a couple more pieces of ephemera to complete the card.

The Moon Made Me Do It

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday and first day of October! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m having THE best time creating inspiration projects for Keep It Simple using items in the A Wee Bit Wicked Collection! The possibilities are literally endless for making too-cute-to-spook projects with all these fun stamps, dies, and die cut pieces! I created an adorable half-flap fun fold in one of my favorite color combos of yellow and purple using quite a few items in the collection and paper from two other collections!

I cut the standard A2 size side folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, cut the front flap in half horizontally, and adhered the top flap to the card base. I cut layering panels from yellow cardstock in the Craft Mode 6×9 Cardstock Pack and adhered them to the card base. I stamped a cluster of stars from The Moon Made Me Do It Stamps on the top panel and a large sentiment (from the same stamp set) on the bottom panel.

I stamped the moon, clouds, and a bat (also from the same stamp set) on Solar White cardstock and cut them with the coordinating The Moon Made Me Do It Outline Dies. I filled in the moon with Catherine Pooler Pixie Dust ink and colored the crevices with a Kirarina Wink violet marker. I affixed the bat to the moon, popping it up on a small foam square. I die cut several stars from CutCardStock Basis Black using the Halloqueen Sentiments Outline Dies and added them to the top and bottom panels.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White cardstock, adhered a sentiment from the Cards and Phrases Die Cut pieces, and layered the panel on purple cardstock from the Pajama Party 6×9 Cardstock Pack.
