kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another adorable cheddar card using Trinity Stamps products. I also really like that the images are a quick color.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! 80lb Pool Party Cardstock with the Hero Arts Fancy Dies Circle Confetti and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Narrow Stripe Cover Plate Die.

I used the Cheesy Background 6×6 Stencil on the stitched heart with Tim Holtz Fossilized Amber and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks to make it into cheesy heart (LOL).

I stamped the little images from the Trinity Stamps My Cheddar Half Stamp & Die Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y11, Y13, & Y18, R20, and YR27. I added some highlights with a White Gel Pen.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it down to [1/4 x 2″].

I finished off the card by adding some Simply White Nuvo Crystal Drops – Gloss.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I am loving all the new Trinity Stamps yummy donut dies and stamps! It’s so easy to make cards with these dies, I just had to make more… For this one I had to CASE a card from Carrie Rhoades (from the Trinity Stamps Creative Team), featuring the Tiny Teacup and Tiny Donut Die Sets.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. You don’t have pattern paper for your card background?!? No problem. Use tissue paper. Tissue paper is readily available at several store in the gift wrap section. Dollar Tree or any other dollar store sells them and you can make several cards from one sheet!

For this card, I die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ to create a card base and another piece which I cut to 5 x 5″. I adhered a piece of Valentine’s Day tissue paper I got from the Dollar Tree to that 5 x5″ panel. Then, ran it through my embossing/diecutting machine with an embossing folder from Queen & Company (unfortunately no longer available).

I die cut a lacy heart from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Lacy Heart Stackables. I also die cut all images from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Trinity Stamps Tiny Donut Dipper Die Set. I colored them using Copic Markers. I used E37 & E49 and E33 & E21 for the donuts; RV04, RV09 & RV21 and R20, R27 & R22 for the donut frostings; E37 & E49 and E21 & E33 for the donut holes; and RV10 & RV04, and R20 & R22 for their frostings

I stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

I added a piece of acetate to the center of the donut and the added the heart on top and the other white piece of the circle card which I added to the back of the front panel.

Flat Donut Shaker Valentine’s Day Card featuring Trinity Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here is another way to use the new Circle Shaped Card Die Set from Trinity Stamps to make a cute Valentine’s Day card — a flat shaker donut! I love making shaker cards but sometimes they can be bulky. This is a way to keep your card flatter so you can mail it without spending textra on postage. And who doesn’t want to save some money these days?!? Now my shaker pouch puffed a little bit but it’s still flatter than a traditional shaker pouch and I can remedy this next time by using a thinner plastic/acetate.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. I also cut a piece of Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar 6 x 6 Paper (discontinued?) to 4 x 5-1/4″. Then I ran that through my die cutting machine with an embossing folder from Queen & Company which has tiny open hearts all over it. This was part of a bundle they sold one time. Not sure if they will bring them back.

Next, I made the shaker. I die cut the donut card (or half of it) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and cut out the center using the frosting die. I colored it using Tim Holtz Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso Ranger Distress Inks. I also die cut the frosting from the Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar 6 x 6 Paper. I made the pouch by folding a piece of acetate in half and closing the edges. I added the frosting diecut inside the pouch to cover all the folded/taped acetate edges. Then I filled the pouch with sprinkles I die cut from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and Simon Says Stamp Surf Blue 100lb Cardstock using the Circle Shaped Card Die Set as well as some Sizzix SEQUINS & BEADS – Pinks & Reds, Crimson Sequins.

I stamped a sentiment using onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ Trinity Stamps A-GLAZE-ing 4×8 Stamp Set with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink and then cut it down to [x] x [x]”

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the same pattern papers used on the front to 1 x 5-1/2″ and 1-1/4 x 5-1/2″. Then stamped a sentiment from my stash with Catherine Pooler Designs Rockin’ Red Ink.

Hello friends. The next post in my Fall card series features a window card using the coordinating dies from the Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After stampset. This was a very easy card to make. To add texture to the background I added an embossed panel behind it (more on this later in the post).

Autumn, Fall, Fancy Folds, Halloween, Love & Friendship, Thank Yous

Fall Card Series #6: It’s All About the Fancy Folds!

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This post is all about adding fancy folds to your cards. I used different shaped dies and papers as well as a variety of stamps to create different themes. These were inspired by Catherine Pooler’s video on fancy folds over on Stampnation. Check it out here>>.

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″. At this point you need to decide what shape you wll be die cutting out and which side you will be folding your panel. You will see that on my second and third cards the folds are in the opposite direction.

I chose a scallop square die from the Sizzix Framelits Squares Scallop Die Set. The way to achieve the flip window is to only die cut one half of the panel. To do this you just need to align your cutting plates along the score line covering only the side you will cut out.

I cut 2 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 scallop squares from the same paper. Then die cut a stitched square from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Dies – Small Stitched Square Stackables, a scallop square measuring 2 x 2″ and another measuring 3-3/8 x 3-3/8″.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Green Tea, Polished, Over Coffee, Buttercream, Sauna, Orange Peel, and Spiced inks.

Then stamped the sentiment onto the white scallop piece from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set with Spiced ink.

On the inside of the card I adhered the larger scallop square (3-3/8 x 3-3/8″) and added a pumpkin.

Dimensions

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.

For this card, I chose a heart die from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet and Sassy Die Set (retired). Same step as before for cutting the flip window.

Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 hearts (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller heart from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies.

On the inside of the card I die cut a frame from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS Kraft Stock with the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames dies. I also die cut another frame from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and used the negative piece.

Dimensions

For the third card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.

For this card, I chose a pumpkin die from the Sizzix Pumpkin Framelits (no longer available). Follow the same steps as in the previous two cards for cutting the flip window.

Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) to 2 x 5-1/4″ and one to 4 x 5-1/4. I also die cut 2 pumpkins (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller pumpkin from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies. I inked it with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. I stamped a Jack-O-Lantern face from the Papertrey Ink Pumpkin Expressions Mini Stamp Set with Midnight Ink. I also added splatters to it and the right side of the card front with Black Acrylic Paint and stamped bats from the Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stampset.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s another fun summer card using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies. This requires minimal stamping. I used all dies except for the sentiment strip and added texture to the background using a Tim Holtz stencil. I love how bright this card turned out. Definitely some summer vibes happening here!

I die cut the ice cubes from Crafter’s Companion Shimmering 6 x 6″, White Pearl Cardstock and the straw from Lawn Fawn GOTTA HAVE GINGHAM RAINBOW 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack using the Lawn Fawn Build-A-Drink Dies and the fruit basket from Lawn Fawn Fruit Salad 6×6 Inch Petite Paper Pack using the Lawn Fawn Fruit Basket die.

I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink for the lighter leaves and limes; Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink for the darker leaves and stems; Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink for the lemons and the drink and Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand Ink (retired) for the fruit basket.
