owl always love you

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great day and doing something fun while you’re working or perhaps instead of working?! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I popped in to share a Valentine I created for The Outlawz Saturday Paper A La Mode Challenge – the first time I’ve played in this particular challenge and I don’t know why I haven’t played here before! We Are 3 Digital Shop is the sponsor and I used their gorgeous Purse Textures – Smashed Cranberries digital paper. Bear in mind that you do not have to purchase sponsor items to play in any of The Outlawz Challenges but I wanted to see what this sponsor was all about. And when I visited their Etsy shop, this paper pack really spoke to me and I knew I had to have it!

I printed all the papers in this digital pack on 60# Hammermill copy paper and decided on this gorgeous cranberry one for a Valentine. I created my standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I cut the digital paper and cranberry cardstock layers and adhered them to the card base. I die cut some light pink and cranberry stitched hearts and adhered the large light pink one to the card front. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white in the lower left corner. I stamped, colored and die cut the owl and branch and arranged them on the heart. I affixed a small stitched heart die cut and a few white enamel dots to finish the card front.

I created the inside panel a little differently than normal this time. I cut digital paper and cranberry cardstock layers and adhered them to the inside of the card base. Then I cut a narrow and a wide panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered them to the digital paper layer. I stamped the sentiment in pinkish-red ink and added two small stitched heart die cuts.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! I’m so smitten with this digital paper!

I’ll be gnome for Christmas!

Hi everyone! I hope your week has started off well and you had a nice restful weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve stopped in to share a card I created for The Outlawz Festive Fridays Challenge! Our sponsor is Hetty Clare and the themes we’ve been given to choose from are Thank You, Birthday, Special Occasion or Christmas. I chose Christmas this time because I have a super adorable Christmas gnome rubber stamp that has been calling my name! I sure do love me some gnomes!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, rounded the bottom right corner and applied several strips of washi tape to the background. I stamped the gnome in black ink on a small panel of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and layered it on red cardstock. I adhered the image to the card base and stamped the sentiment beneath it in black ink.

I kept the inside fairly simple by adding a strip of washi tape to the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock panel, stamping the sentiment in black ink and layering the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving this Christmas gnome dude! ;)

1/31/21 DT Favorite Winner at A Perfect Time To Craft Open Challenge!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend and stayed indoors where it’s safe, warm and cozy! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring Astrobrights 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 fun Valentine in non-traditional colors. Valentines are typically pink and/or red, and this one is bright yellow and hot pink!

I cut a 5″ square top-folding card base from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with an inside panel from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock. I cut a front background panel from hot pink and white dotted patterned paper. I die cut a large sunburst from Astrobright Solar Yellow cardstock which I adhered to the patterned paper background, and then adhered a die cut stitched heart cut from Raspberry Ice cardstock to the center of the sunburst. I stamped the sentiment in black on one of the sunburst rays. I stamped, colored and die cut a Crazy Bird focal element for the card front, layering the eyes/beak and wing four times for some dimension. The finishing touch was the addition of randomly-spaced Morning Dew Crystal Drops on all the sunburst rays for a little interest.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of hot pink and white dotted patterned paper and a narrow strip of the bright yellow cardstock along with a small die cut stitched heart, stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on the yellow cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving this Valentine in the bright yellow and hot pink color combo! The Astrobrights cardstock is amazing!

What the Cluck?

Happy Saturday to you, my friends! Hope you had a great week and you’re doing something fun this weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a not-so-ordinary baby card using awesome brads, washi tape and enamel dots! Those who know me know that I have a warped sense of humor which is evident in this card!

I still had these brads and stamp set out on my desk from another card I made which will be showcased in a few months, and I couldn’t help myself… I had to make another card with them! I created a top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and went with a yellow and red color combo which I thought complimented the chicken nicely. The dotted cardstock is some of my favorite so I used a scrap of yellow and white dotted across the bottom of the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock background panel, topped it with a stripof Glitter Black Washi Tape and then added a thin strip of red cardstock. I added one Chicken Brad, stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on the red cardstock. I adhered the panel to the card base, and the finishing touch was the addition of several Black Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of yellow dotted and red cardstock used on the front, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and layered the panel on the red cardstock.

And one more peek… this cracks me up! I love it!

we make a great pear

Hi friends! I’m back this afternoon with one more card for The Outlawz Challenges! This one is for the Monday Greetings Challenge where our sponsor is The Paper Nest Dolls and the theme is Hearts. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created an adorable and pun-y CAS anniversary card for the hubby later this year (wink-wink)! I wanted to go ahead and get this card posted because I may not be around much for the next couple days as he is having gallbladder surgery early Wednesday morning. We’ll be traveling across the state tomorrow to a hospital with a well-equipped ICU (just in case) since he’s high-risk. We’re praying for a good outcome without any issues, and if you are the praying type, we sure would appreciate one!

I created my typical A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and rounded the right bottom corner, then stamped the pears and hearts on scraps of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies. I layered two green stitched ric rac die cuts across the bottom of the card base, arranged the pears and heart, and stamped the sentiment in green ink.

I kept the inside super simple with just a stamped sentiment. ;)

And one more look… OMG, how stinkin’ cute is this?! You’ll definitely be seeing more projects using these awesome stamps and dies! I LOVE them!

Dude!

2/8/21 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Hubby had a doctor appointment this morning and then we ran a few errands, so we are just now getting home. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I have a fun CAS card to share that I made yesterday for The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge. ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ is the rhyme for the new challenge that started yesterday so let me introduce to you my star struck chicken! This image is from Sherry West Art who is our sponsor this time! I did LOL (literally) a few times while making this card! I don’t even know the name of this image – it was a freebie in Sherry’s Facebook Group – but isn’t it a hoot?!

I created a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I printed the image on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock as well and colored it with alcohol markers, trimmed it and layered it on yellow cardstock and then black. I stamped the sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Hey Ostrich stamp set in black ink and added some stars to fit the theme for the challenge. I lucked out having this awesome stamp set in my stash with sentiments that go so well with this chicken image!

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of black and yellow cardstock, stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on yellow cardstock.

And one more look… how hilarious! Love how this turned out!

its your BIG day

Hi everyone! I’m back with one more project I created last Thursday for The Outlawz Challenges! That was the day that I set a record in my studio – ten cards in one day. I finished two that I had already started and then created eight more. Several were for The Outlawz, several were for two guest gigs coming up and several were with new products for another design team I’m on. Definitely a busy and productive day for sure! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This card is for the Twisted Thursdays Challenge where Fabrika Fantasy is our sponsor. The challenges are always Anything Goes with an optional twist. This time the twist is Glitter! I used loose glitter, glitter paper and glitter washi tape for this birthday card!

This card features the Cottage Cutz Sweet Fairy die set. It has a gazillion pieces so I die cut them all from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and colored them individually with alcohol markers. It brought back childhood memories of coloring my paper doll clothes back in the day! The little fairy was created first and set aside. I used loose glitter on her wings. ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base along with a white layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and dotted and striped silver foil vellum panels which I adhered to the layering panel. I added a strip of red glitter washi tape to the seam and then adhered the panel to the card base. I punched several 1/2″ circles from Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and adhered them over top of the foiled dots in random places. I adhered the fairy on foam dimensionals and added a sentiment stamped in navy blue ink to pull in the color of her dress. The final touch was adding tiny iridescent gemstones to the stars on the sentiment strip and larger iridescent gemstones on several of the foiled dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock and embellished it with a wide strip of the striped silver foil vellum and a strip of red glitter washi tape, stamped the sentiment in navy blue ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Red Wagon cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! It’ll be set aside for a very special granddaughter’s birthday later this year! ;)

life is a journey

1/17/21 Winner at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends!
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!

1/15/21 Winner at The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this evening to share a card I created Thursday for The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge and then forgot to post it! Our sponsor this month is Katy’s Card Emporium and the song/rhyme is about reindeer, so I created a sweet forest scene with a buck and his young buck. ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from green cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock layers for the front and inside. I cut a couple Christmas trees from the same green cardstock, the two deer from brown cardstock and a moon from a pale yellow cardstock scrap, and arranged them on the front panel. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, trimmed it and flagged one end, and layered it on a brown cardstock scrap which I trimmed leaving a small border.

I embellished the inside panel very simply with a narrow strip of brown cardstock, stamped the sentiment in green and brown inks, and adhered it to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… such a simple design that took less than 30 minutes to create! Love it when that happens!; )

It’s raining CATS and DOGS!

Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope you had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun cat and dog card inspired by our rescued feline fur babies. My husband and I are ‘crazy cat people’ and we have ten, and all but one are rescued. We love dogs too (in fact, we love ALL kinds of animals) but have found that cats tend to be easier if we decide to take a weekend trip. If you’re interested, you can read all about our fur babies HERE.

I created a top fold card base and a slightly smaller background panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I created a computer-generated sentiment which I printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered across the top of the panel, then put a strip of Weather Washi Tape just beneath it. Then the fun began adding Cat Quicklet Eyelets and Dog Quicklet Eyelets in a ‘raining-down’ fashion. I’ve never used quicklets before and these were so easy to set with a ballpoint pen! I adhered a piece of light blue cardstock to the card base, then adhered a piece of light blue craft foam to the back of the panel, and adhered the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the washi tape and the light blue cardstock used on the front, stamped the sentiment in black ink, and layered the panel on the light blue cardstock.

And one more peek… such a fun card! LOVE these cat and dog quicklets!
