For 10/2 - Dream Big, Little Cowgirl!

Good morning, friends!  I hope that your week is off to an amazing start. 

Today, I am sharing a fun Book Fold card starring the adorable Little Cowgirl Birthday Collection from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts.

I really love this fold, because it is super simple, but incredibly fun.  I paired two of the papers from the Little Cowgirl Birthday 6 x 6 Paper Pack with some lilac card stock. 

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Little Cowgirl Birthday - Sentiments stamp set and die-cut it.  I popped it up on the card front with foam dots and added the sweet bunny die-cut from the Little Cowgirl Birthday - Die-Cut Pieces by doubling the foam dots.  I added some white linen thread and lilac ribbon, along with some Pastel Heart Enamel Dots from Eyelet Outlet.

Here is a look at what makes this card fold so fun! 

I hope that you love this card as much as I do!  It was so much fun to create, and it was really quite quick.  Please make sure to head over to Keep It Simple Paper Crafts and check out the whole collection!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Howdy partner!  I am here to share another fun card from the Little Cowgirl Birthday Collection from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts.  This might seriously be my new favorite collection!  

I made a fun fold card that was inspired by @stampin_heidi.  She calls it the Vertical Double Fold card.  When I saw it, I knew it was perfect to show off these amazing, patterned papers! 

This card came together pretty quickly because I used one of the die-cut embellishments as my focal image.  Folded flat, the card is a standard A2 size (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"), but when opened, it is 4 1/4" x 11".

The card opens up into 3 sections, and the last section is suitable for writing a message on. 

I used the Stitched Indented Squares dies from Elizabeth Craft and inked those panels up with So Saffron ink.  I popped the die-cut embellishment up on foam squares, added a loopy bow and some enamel dots.

Yee-Haw! Let's Eat Cake!

 Hello, friends!  I am so excited to share my first project as part of the AMAZING Design Team for Keep It Simple Paper Crafts!  

The adorable Little Cowgirl Birthday collection is the latest release, and I cannot tell you just how fabulous it is!  It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need to make any little (or big) cowgirl's dreams come true! 

I created a fun easel card using several of the products in the collection.  I stamped several of the images and colored them with Copic markers (colors listed below).  I die-cut them using the coordinating dies and set them aside. 

I created my card base from heavyweight kraft card stock.  I die-cut the lacy, scalloped square using my Cricut, and paired it with a few of the adorable, printed papers that are part of the collection.  I distressed the edges of all of the layers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink. 

I stamped two of the sentiments from the coordinating sentiment stamp set - one for the front, and one for the inside - and trimmed them to size, and then layered them on pink card stock.  For the inside of the card, I adhered the flowers and then popped the sentiment up using foam dots, which creates a stopper to hold the easel up when the card is opened.

To complete the card, I colored some white seam binding using my So Saffron Stampin' Blend Marker to coordinate with the card stock.  I adhered all of my panels to the base.  I popped the main image up on foam squares, added a loopy bow and the coordinating enamel dots.
