life is a journey

2/10/21 Favorite at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge!

Happy Sunday, everybody! I hope your day is as beautiful as you are! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve been having some fun in my studio and have popped in this morning to share a clean and simple masculine card that I created on Thursday to enter into The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge! Our sponsor this month is Sherry West Art and the challenge is to use black and white plus one color from the inspiration photo, with an optional twist of adding a circle. In addition to black and white, I used tan, and I’m playing the twist with the travel globe as my circle.

This is the photo inspiration we were given. I saw neutral tan, and rather than use kraft cardstock, I colored the tan elements on my card with a Nuvo alcohol marker.

I cut a top folding A2 size card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut a piece of black cardstock at an angle and adhered it to the bottom of the card base. I cut a narrow strip of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock at a very slight angle, colored it with the tan alcohol marker and adhered it across the top of the black cardstock. I die cut the travel globe pieces from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with tan and black alcohol markers, and assembled it. I applied a STAMPlorations Shine Bright Clear Stickers sentiment to a scrap of white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the bottom left. I adhered the travel globe on foam dimensionals and added several different sizes of black gemstones to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock that I colored with the tan alcohol marker along with a narrow strip of black cardstock. I applied another STAMPlorations Shine Bright Clear Stickers sentiment and layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving the masculine feel of this!

You’re a classic!

Hi friends! Happy Friday and Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #54 – January Anything Goes! I was commissioned to make some Father’s Day cards and I used some very cool digital vintage vehicle images and papers for these clean and simple designs.

I made one card in landscape orientation and the other in portrait orientation, using brown and ivory for one, and CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock and ivory for the other. I printed the images on linen cardstock, cut them with stitched rectangle dies and adhered them to coordinating cardstock. I printed the digital paper on linen cardstock as well, and trimmed pieces to go across the bottom of the card fronts.

The digital sentiments on the front and inside are the same on each card, printed on smooth ivory cardstock. I embellished each inside panel with the gingham paper used on the front, adhered the panels to coordinating cardstock and adhered them to the inside of the card bases.

And one more look at each… loving how these turned out!

Too many dogs…

Happy Saturday, peeps! Hope you’ve got something fun planned this weekend – you can relax a little now that Christmas is behind us! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun card for a crazy dog person featuring some fun brads paired with awesome washi tape and enamel dots!

I decided to go with a brown and black color combo for this card. I put strips of Glitter Black Washi Tape and Glitter Brown Washi Tape horizontally across the bottom of the background panel. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, added four Dog Brads and several White Enamel Dots, and then layered the panel on black cardstock and adhered it to the card base.

For the inside, I used the black and brown glitter washi tape vertically on the left side of the panel, stamped the sentiment in brown ink, and layered the panel on black cardstock.

And one more peek… loving how this turned out! Several friends have asked me to make some dog cards, so here’s one for the books! ;)

Happy 29th Birthday

Hello, everyone! I’ve popped in again today to share another DT inspiration project for The Project Bin! I used the Born Yesterday stamp set to create a clean and simple birthday card with a round aperture, similar to the one I created last month with the acetate window but with a different sentiment and no acetate this time. This sentiment cracks me up and I can SO identify, lol!

I created a standard A2 top-folding card base and punched a 2-1/4″ circular aperture in the bottom right corner. I cut a thin frame from green cardstock using the 2-1/4″ circle punch along with a 2-1/2″ circle punch, and adhered it around the aperture.

I stamped the sentiment in the center of the aperture in green ink and the cake in pink ink, and then added lines of Crystal Drops to the cake and a few random dots to the background.

And one more look… what a fun card! I can think of several friends who would appreciate this!

Happy Cake Day

Hi friends! Happy Hump Day! I’ve popped in today to share an awesome DT inspiration project for The Project Bin! I was provided the amazing Defined and Born Yesterday stamp sets and created a CAS birthday card featuring a peek-a-boo acetate window!

2020_0329001

I created a top-fold A-2 card base, cut another separate panel, and punched a 2″ circle in each. I sandwiched a piece of acetate between the two layers, and stamped the little birthday cake from the Born Yesterday stamp set in black StazOn ink and embellished it with tiny green gemstones.

2020_0329002

I stamped the front and inside sentiments from the Defined stamp set in blue ink matching the layering cardstock panel on the inside.

2020_0329003

One more look… so happy with how this turned out! Love the peek-a-boo effect with the cake overlay! So fun!

Have a cozy Christmas

12/2/20 Top 5 at ABC Christmas Challenge!

Hi everyone! Well, here it is almost Thanksgiving and even though it’s hands-down my favorite time of year, I’m in serious Christmas mode! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Bonsai Green and Habanero Red cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack – which happens to be on sale this month so be sure to get some! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a cozy Christmas card in my favorite traditional Christmas colors of red, white and green!

I was rummaging through my dies and found this adorable stocking die that I’ve had for AGES (probably 6-7 years) and I’m not even sure I’ve ever used it, so out it came for this project! It’s so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it, lol! I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with layering panels and 1/4″-ish strips (not measured) from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, Bonsai Green 80# cardstock and Habanero Red 80# cardstock. As I often love to do, I rounded the bottom right corner of the card base and all the layers. I arranged the strips in a diagonal fashion across the front panel, trimmed the edges and adhered the panel to the red layer, then adhered the piece to the front of the card base. I stamped the sentiment in red ink, then die cut three stockings from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, Bonsai Green 80# cardstock and Habanero Red 80# cardstock. I assembled the stockings and affixed them to the front of the card with foam squares, then added the flat-back pearls to the stockings and several in the upper left corner.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover red, white and green strips down the left side, stamped the sentiment in red ink, and adhered the panel to the green layer.

One more look… I’m absolutely smitten! ;)

Warm winter wishes

Happy Saturday, friends! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a clean and simple Christmas card featuring some absolutely gorgeous brads!

It’s amazing to me how something so simple can be so beautiful! I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base along with smaller layering panels from kraft cardstock and red cardstock which I adhered together. I die cut a pine branch from white cardstock and colored it with an alcohol marker, adhered it to the front panel, and added the Pinecone Brads. The final touch was stamping the sentiment in green ink.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of the red cardstock, stamped the sentiment in green ink, and layered the panel on red cardstock. I also added a Pinecone Brad in the lower right corner.

And one more peek… so loving this CAS design!

A Merry Little Wish…

11/30/20 Top Rocker at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! Eeeek, it’s the middle of November already – how did that happen?! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created another snowy (and CAS) Christmas card featuring some pretty awesome brads, bling and washi tape!

This was another fun one to watch come together. I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base and a green cardstock layer. I created three snow banks by tearing white cardstock, adhered them to the bottom of the green panel, and then added several Holiday Tree Brads and a stamped green sentiment. I applied two strips of Green Dots Skinny Washi Tape at the top of the green panel and adhered the panel to the card base. The final touch was adding Snowflake Bling.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of the Green Dots Skinny Washi Tape, stamped the sentiment in green ink, and layered the panel on green cardstock.

And one more look… such a fun design! And this one, too, would be great to mass produce to send to those on your Christmas card list!

Time

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had a great Monday! Today is Day 1 of the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop and I’ve stopped in this evening to share a cat card I created this afternoon. We had our first snow of the season last evening (several inches) so it was a great day to stay indoors and craft! The Hop is going on until the 31st, so if you’re a fellow cat lover, come join us! There’s a lot of fun and games to join in every day, and Janis has been busy lining up some pretty awesome prizes to give away at the end!

While sympathy cards for humans or pets aren’t easy to create, we always need to have a few in our stash. I pulled out a cat sentiment stamp set that I’ve had in my stash for probably close to a year and have never used, and the sympathy sentiment spoke to me, so that’s the direction I went.

I cut a standard A2 size top folding card base, a small panel for the front and a panel for the inside from white cardstock. I covered the small panel with clock washi tape and cut a strip off which I popped up on white craft foam for a little interest. I die cut four cats from black cardstock and adhered them on top of each other. I adhered white craft foam to the back of the panel and positioned it on the card base to get an idea of where to stamp the sentiment.

I moved the panel out of the way, stamped the sentiment and paw prints, and then adhered the panel to the card base. I added a thin strip of light brown cardstock above and below the popped up panel, adhered the stacked cat die cuts and added a few enamel dots.

I embellished the inside panel with a piece of the clock washi tape and a narrow strip of the light brown cardstock, stamped the sentiment and paw prints in brown ink, and layered the panel on the light brown cardstock.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out!

=  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =

Now, let me side-track you for a minute or three to share my CAS card featuring Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with Camomile cardstock, Granny Smith Apple Green cardstock, Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock and Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock. This is a super simple design that came together pretty quickly!

Did you ever have ric rac sewn on your clothes when you were younger?! I sure did – and I still love it! I used several fun dies along with some stamping to create this fun card.

Here is a quick tutorial showing you my process for making this awesome card. I started by cutting a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut ric rac die cuts from Camomile cardstock, Granny Smith Apple Green cardstock, Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock and Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock. I cut four BOO! die cuts from Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock and layered them on top of each other for a little dimension. I cut one additional ric rac die cut from Granny Smith Apple Green cardstock to use on the inside.

I adhered the ric rac die cuts to the front of the card base at an angle and then trimmed the edges. I adhered the BOO! layered die cuts in the lower right corner and small gemstones in the Halloween colors above the ric rac die cuts. I stamped and die cut a skull (an after-thought and not shown in the photo above) and popped it up on dimensionals on top of the ric rac die cuts.

For the inside, I adhered the remaining ric rac die cut at the same angle as those on the front, and then stamped the sentiment and the spider in black ink.
