Autumn Charm

Howdy peeps! Happy Friday! Can you believe we only have a couple more days left of this month?! I’m excited to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today! This awesome 6-sided pinwheel twist card features papers, die cuts and stamps in the Autumn Charm Collection! I love, love, love all the products in this collection! And you know how I love me some fun folds… I chose this particular one (from a Splitcoast Stampers tutorial HERE) so I could show off a bunch of the papers and die cuts, and I think it worked out pretty well. I’ve only made one of these 6-sided beauties prior to this one and it has not been shared yet. It’s definitely a fun one!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock along with layering panels from papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added die cuts from the Hedgehogs Die Cut Pieces and Foxes Die Cut Pieces to all the larger panels. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiment Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a pumpkin on one of the panels, which completed the card. LOVE how this turned out!

Hello, friends! Happy Thursday! I have another awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with items in the Farmhouse Fall Collection! Autumn/Fall is my favorite time of the year and I just can’t get enough of all the gorgeous products in this collection. Besides the pretty papers, I used several die cut pieces, but the star of the show on this pretty slimline card is a chipboard word that I colored with an alcohol marker and embellished with a metallic marker for a little interest.

I cut my go-to size 3-3/4″ x 9″ slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock along with layering panels from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack. I adhered a strip of washi tape to a Basis 80# White cardstock strip and adhered it horizontally across the top layering panel, and then added a couple topaz gemstones on each side. I colored the chipboard word with an alcohol marker, added dots with a copper metallic marker, and adhered it to the card front. The final touch was adding a couple die cuts from the Falling For You Die Cut Pieces.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Basis 80# White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the paper from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack used on the front along with another die cut piece that I layered on a paper scrap.

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! Well, another week has come to a close and I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’m delighted to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today! I’m always in the mood to create a fun fold and the front step card is one of my all-time favorite folds. I used papers and die cut pieces from the Farmhouse Fall Collection that I totally love. Warm, cozy and inviting are the best three words I can think of to describe this Autumn/Fall-themed collection!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card, using several die cuts from the Falling For You Die Cut Pieces along with several adhesive buttons from the Clementine collection.

I cut the back panel from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the papers from the 12×12 Cardstock Pack and 6×9 Collection Pack used on the front along with another die cut piece.

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.

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.
