hey, there!

7/9/23 CAS Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Wishing you all a wonderful Friday! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share that consists mainly of organic/free-form shaped images! This clean and simple card features our Cougar Smooth White, Pop-Tone Black Licorice and Stardream Metallic Amethyst cardstock. AND one of my favorite purple and teal color combos! These stamps have been sitting on my desk for months and I’m not sure why I haven’t used them before now… this is truly one of the easiest cards I’ve ever made!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base along with layering panels from Cougar Smooth 80# White and Pop Tone Black cardstock, and rounded the bottom right corners. I stamped the free-form shaped images from the My Favorite Things Petite Prints stamp set in Catherine Pooler Serenade and Cummerbund inks and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the punched circles in random areas, popping them up on foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in black ink on a Cougar scrap and cut it with the coordinating Charming Sentiments die. I added a few clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar cardstock and embellished it with Pop Tone Black Licorice, Stardream Metallic Amethyst and Cougar White strips. I added another sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiment stamps and dies.
