Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT

Timeless

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve popped in to share my final inspiration project for the Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT! I had such a great six-month run with them and I can’t believe how fast it went by! This birthday card features another older rubber stamp in my stash – the Paper Mania Beautiful Time Pieces stamp. I sure do love a black and gold color combo!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Black along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Gold Leaf which I ran through the Big Shot with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I framed the focal image (stamped with the Paper Mania Beautiful Time Pieces rubber stamp) with die cuts using the STAMPlorations Pierced Curly Frames/Tags Nesting Dies cut from the black and gold cardstock.

I colored the frame around the center watch face with a Pentel Slicci Gold Pen and adhered a round piece of acetate to the front of it to mimic a real gold watch. I die cut the letters for the ‘timeless’ sentiment from Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock using the Sizzix Alphanumeric Tiny Type Lower Thinlits and adhered them to a Basis Black cardstock strip.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the Basis Black and Curious Metallic Gold Leaf. I stamped the sentiment from the Gina K Designs Birthday Greetings stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Hi friends! I hope your week has started off nicely and it’s not too awfully hot where you are. We’ve actually seen some lower temps out here which has been a God-send! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share and this one is a true one-layer clean and simple card. Yay me! I can’t seem to pull these off very often! I start out with ‘one layer’ in mind and then before I know it, I’ve added a die cut or three and it’s no longer one layer or CAS! Bahahaha!

Needless to say, one-layer cards don’t require a long list of supplies, and two stamp sets with two ink pads along with my card base are the main ingredients for this one! This older Unity Stamp Co. ‘3 Stick Chicks’ rubber stamp is another one I’ve had in my stash (since probably 2014 or 2015) and has never been inked up! This image brought back more great memories of my BFFs and I going out bar-hopping back in the 70s! We DID have some great times! ;)

I cut a standard size A2 side-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and rounded the right upper and lower corners. I stamped the Unity Stamps 3 Stick Chicks image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiment from the older Hero Arts Girls Night Out stamp set in Memento Lilac Posies ink. BOOM – that’s it for the front of this one!

I stamped another sentiment from the Hero Arts Girls Night Out stamp set on the inside in Lilac Posies ink, which completed my one-layer card!

groovin’

Happy Monday, everybody! I hope you had a groovy weekend! I have a really fun Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share today featuring a groovin’ granny (that would be me) gettin’ down to some disco music! Brings back loads of memories from the 70s! Bahahaha! This is another one of those stamp sets I’ve had in my stash for ages and it’s never been used so I thought it was time to bring it out and ink it up! I created this fun card with a tag in bright orange with a splash of hot pink which was very 70s disco!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with bright orange and hot pink layering panels from DCWV Double-Sided Cardstock and an orange dotted pattern from Colorbok Seeing Dots cardstock. Using the STAMPlorations Stitched Tags Nesting Dies, I cut the main tag from 80# Solar White and an outline panel from the bright orange. I threaded a short piece of Really Reasonable Ribbon pink checkerboard satin ribbon through the hole at the top which I adhered on the back and then added a tiny bow fashioned from Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

I stamped the image from the Sparkle N Sprinkle Disco Fever stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on 80# Solar White cardstock and colored her with alcohol markers. I fussy cut her and adhered her to the tag. I used a Pentel Slicci Gold Pen to add details over the bright orange background and then added several hot pink punched swirls made with my McGill Petite Petals Punch. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of Solar White cardstock, colored the letters with an alcohol marker and added details with the gold pen.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with strips of orange polka dot and hot pink cardstock used on the front. I stamped the sentiment in black ink, colored the letters with an alcohol marker and added details with the gold pen.

Hi friends! Can you believe how fast these weeks and weekends are flying by?! It’ll be Christmas before we know it! And you think I’m kidding?! Bahahaha! I’m pumped to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project with you created with an awesome IndigoBlu stamp set! Before Ed became disabled, we owned several motorcycles and rode quite frequently with our group of friends. Such good times and such good memories! This clean and simple card has a super short list of supplies and is actually a one-layer card! I don’t do one-layer cards very frequently so I’m rather proud of this one!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I stamped the bike image from the IndigoBlu Ride Long stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the front flap and the sentiment just beneath it. BOOM… that’s it!

I stamped the other sentiment from the Ride Long stamp set on the inside. Such a fun, easy card!

love much & laugh often

Hey everybody! Happy Saturday! Another week bites the dust, lol! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project featuring a double-layer debossed/embossed background of clock faces on a note card! The top layer is debossed with dark ink swiped onto the embossing folder and the second layer is regular embossing. Fun technique… not sure what it’s called but I like it! And I’m sure I didn’t make it up but I’ve never seen another project like it! LOL!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis Brown along with two layering panels from the Core’dination Kraft-Core Nostaglic Collection cardstock pad. I ran one of the panels through the Big Shot with the Tim Holtz pocket watches embossing folder. For the other one, I swiped Catherine Pooler Sand Castle ink directly onto the embossing folder prior to running it through the Big Shot for a debossed effect. I trimmed both panels up a bit and adhered them together and then to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Steampunk Gears 2 stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink and tore it into a strip. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 5mm ivory pearls to the sentiment strip and 3mm brown pearls to the clock faces.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the debossed panel on the front and the Basis Brown used for the card base. Since this is a note card, I left the panel blank with plenty of room to write a custom message.

Summer Sun & Fun ATCs

Hey everybody! I just can’t wrap my head around it being the first week of August already! I’ve stopped by this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project which is a set of fun summer-themed ATCs for my collection! Sorry/not sorry for hardly ever trading them as the name suggests, lol! These have ink smooshed backgrounds and I used one of my most favorite-ever stamp sets from The Project Bin!

I cut two card bases and punched two coin bases from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and set them aside. I smooshed a separate panel of Solar White cardstock into Ranger speckled egg and salvaged patina distress inks spritzed with water from my Tim Holtz distress sprayer onto my craft mat, drying with my Milwaukee heat tool between smooshes. When the colors were like I wanted, I sprayed the panel with a homemade mist of Let’s Resin Teal Chameleon Powder and water in a Ranger Mini Mister and allowed it to dry thoroughly. I then cut two more card bases and punched two more coin bases from this inked panel.

Using The Project Bin’s Summer Fun stamp set, I stamped sentiments on each of the ATCs in Cahterine Pooler Daydream ink. I added an Eyelet Outlet sun, flop flop and fish brad to three of them, and two strips of Eyelet Outlet skinny silver washi tape to the fourth one. I adhered the extra cards and coins to the back of the embellished ones for stability.

Scrappy hugs,

happy birthday to you

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! We’re another day closer to Friday so that’s a big YAY for all my working friends! I’m back this morning with another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project featuring some gorgeous patterned papers and die cuts and a fabulous fun fold called a reverse easel card! I’ve had these instructions in my tutorial folder for quite some time and have never made one so I thought it was time to try it out! I love how it turned out!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# White 12×12 cardstock along with embellishing panels from Craft Consortium Ink Drops-Vivid 6×6 paper pad. I used the My Favorite Things Double Stitched Square STAX to die cut two squares which I layered on slightly larger squares cut from CutCardStock Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock.

I used the My Favorite Things Stitched Pinking Edge Square STAX to cut panels from a pretty butterfly print in the Kraft & Creativity Showering Nature 12×12 paper pack. I fussy cut a butterfly and adhered it to a Basis White cardstock scrap for stability, and adhered it to the base for an easel stop. I added the sentiment die cut from Gold Leaf cardstock using the My Favorite Things Swirly Birthday die. The finishing touch was adding several YNS Purple Glitter Gumdrops.

9/28/23 Honorable Mention at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re staying cool in this slightly warm (LOL) weather! I’ve popped in to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project this morning. This pretty friendship card features Hot Off The Press papers and ephemera along with skinny washi tape, enamel dots and pearls. Sometimes patterned paper can really make a statement!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural cardstock along with layering panels from Hot Off The Press Magnolia Blossoms 6×6 double-sided papers, and rounded the bottom right corners. I affixed strips of MAMBI pink skinny washi tape on the sides of the vertical panel and adhered an ephemera sentiment. The finishing touch was adding Eyelet Outlet ivory enamel dots and 5mm pink pearls and Keep It Simple Clementine pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# Natural as well and embellished it with strips of Hot Off The Press Magnolia Blossoms patterned paper and MAMBI pink skinny washi tape. I added another ephemera sentiment from the HOTP paper pack.

make today count

Hey everybody! I hope your week has started off rather nicely! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share with you today – a motivational tag with inlaid die cuts and bold pops of purple, lime green and pink! I love making tags and don’t seem to make very many for some reason. And I used a dragonfly die set that I’ve had in my stash for quite some time and have never used, so I thought it was time to bring it out for a play!

I cut two tags from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock and die cut three dragonfly shaped apertures into one of them, using the Prickley Pear Stamps dainty Dragonflies dies, reserving the negative space pieces to put back into the apertures for a little dimension. I die cut the dragonflies twice more from Basis Black and purple, lime green and pink striped papers in the Doodlebug Design Dot-Stripe Rainbow Petite Prints 6×6 paper pad, and adhered them on top of the negative spaces in the tag with the striped papers on top.

I added gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Amethyst Accent, Andradite Sparkle and Morganite Muse Embellishment Mixes using my Trinity Pick Up Stick. I adhered several motivational sentiments from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Small Talk stickers. The final touch was adding black stripe ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon which I tied with Doodlebug Design Lily White Doodle Twine.

UPcycled Congrats

Howdy peeps! Happy Monday! It sure got here fast, lol! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share with you this morning – a congrats card created with a piece of an empty tissue box! I’ve made several cards from upcycled tissue boxes over the last few months and always love how they turn out! Nothing like keeping a little something out of the landfill, even if it’s only a small piece!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I trimmed a piece of the tissue box down to size and layered it on the black cardstock and then to the front of the card base. I die cut the sentiment from CutCardStock Basis 80# Natural and Pop Tone Black Licorice using the Kat Scrappiness Congrats Word Die with Shadow. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet Black Glitter Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# White and embellished it with a leftover piece of Black Licorice cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Keep It Simple Congratulations sentiment stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layered the panel on Black Licorice.
