You are the best

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week – it’s almost the weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock and Cougar Smooth White cardstock that I paired with a pretty foiled sentiment. This design is super simple, has some great texture, and would be easy to mass produce with different sentiments.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. Using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Die, I die cut three stitched frames from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and one from Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock. I adhered the white frames together for dimension and reserved one of the negative space rectangles for the inside panel.

Using the Sizzix Bohemian Botanicals 3-D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, I dry embossed the black negative space rectangle (after spritzing the back side with a little water) to use as the focal panel on the card front. I created the sentiment using a Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Hot Foil Plate along with Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and a foil roll from the Glimmer Hot Foil Spellbound Variety Pack, and cut it with the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Die. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

The inside panel consisted of one of the Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock negative space rectangles and the Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock frame. I added a sentiment created with a Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Plate, Glimmer Hot Foil System and Glimmer Hot Foil Gold Roll, and cut it with the coordinating Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Die.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)
