2/19/21 Top 5 at Scrapping4fun Challenges!

Hi friends! A big giant WELCOME to the CutCardStock blog‘s Valentine’s Day Blog Hop going on February 6th and 7th – starting at 7:00 AM Central Time today and ending at 11:55 PM Central Time tomorrow! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! SO COME HOP WITH US!

AND there is a $40 CutCardStock gift card up for grabs! Woo-hoo!

The winner will be randomly selected via number generator and announced on Monday, February 8th, on the CutCardstock blog and Facebook page! To be eligible for the $40 gift card, you must comment at each stop along the hop (good for ONE gift card entry) or upload a Valentine-themed project using CutCardStock products (good for TWO gift card entries). We would absolutely LOVE IT if you link up a project with us, PLUS it will increase your chances to win the gift card! ;)

To get your mojo going, here’s a pretty mood board with TONS of inspiration!

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

Now, let me side-track you for a minute or three to share my clean and simple Valentine’s Day card featuring Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock and a few rolls of washi tape! This is a super simple design that came together pretty quickly!

I paired some new Valentine washi tape with some older washi tape that I had in my stash to create the diagonal panel on this card, and used Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock for the die cut and punched hearts.

Here is a quick tutorial showing you my process for making this awesome CAS card. I started by cutting a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock. I also cut an angled panel for the front (wide enough for four strips of washi tape), an inside panel and a narrow strip (wide enough for one strip of washi tape) for the inside panel, all from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock. And I die cut two hearts from Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment in pink ink in the lower right corner of the card base, adhered the angled panel, and then adhered the die cut hearts to the angled panel. I punched six tiny hearts from a scrap of the Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock and colored three of them with a pink alcohol marker to make them just a tad darker than the cardstock. I adhered a tiny punched heart to the center of the two die cut hearts and randomly placed three in the background.

For the inside, I adhered the washi tape strip to the narrow strip of cardstock, stamped the sentiment in pink ink and adhered two tiny punched hearts.

Get well soon

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday to you! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a triple fold card that has a belly band and features some of the new quarantine brads in the store, along with enamel dots which are some of my personal favs! You know how I love fun folds – this is the second one of these I’ve made and it’s such an easy one!

I pulled out a paper pad that hasn’t seen the light of day in quite a while and chose two coordinating prints that complimented the brown cardstock, and cut panels for the front and side flaps. I created a die cut element from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock on which I stamped the ‘get well’ sentiment, affixed a Kleenex Brad and Mask and Soap Brads, and added several White Enamel Dots. I embellished the corners with hearts punched from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock scrap and slightly larger enamel dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with narrow strips and punched hearts from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock, stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I think this would cheer up the recipient!

2/18/21 Top 3 at Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a fantastic day! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m super stoked to share that I’ve been invited by the awesome Vicki Dutcher to be a February guest designer for Just Us Girls Challenge! My first project is a Valentine for Word Week #570. This card features a variety of die cuts and a handmade Foamiran flower!

And here’s our word prompt:

I learned how to make Foamiran flowers a while back and have only made a few. They are quite fun, I have to say! This card design is similar to one I made for another design team which features the very first Foamiran flower I made. I work ahead so you’ll see that card in several months. I used a different flower die for this flower and made this one in a different color. I die cut the leaves from green cardstock and DTP-inked the edges with mowed lawn distress ink. I adhered the leaves to a 3/4″ punched circle and then adhered the completed flower on top of that which makes it easier to adhere to the card front.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from CutCardStock Royal Sundance Felt Natural cardstock along with a couple Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock layering panels, one for the front and one for the inside, and a tiny Valentine card. I layered the front panel on CutCardStock Royal Sundance Linen Burgundy cardstock and then cut a layering panel for the inside and die cut a tiny envelope for my tiny Valentine card. I cut a scrap of patterned paper to die cut the tiny envelope flap liner and assembled the envelope. I die cut the connected oval and adhered it to the panel, then adhered the flower and the tiny envelope.

I stamped the row of hearts and the sentiment in dark pink ink on the tiny Valentine card, and adhered it on top of the envelope with foam dimensionals. The finishing touch was adding tiny iridescent gemstones to the hearts on the tiny Valentine card and three slightly larger iridescent gemstones to the upper left corner.

I die cut a vertical row of dimensional hearts into the inside panel and added a narrow strip of the burgundy linen cardstock. I stamped the Valentine sentiment in pink ink and layered the panel on the burgundy linen cardstock.

And one more look… totally smitten with this! And I have a good idea who will receive it! ;)

Hi everyone! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! They sure do go by fast, don’t they?! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our February challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #31 – February Anything Christmas Goes! I created a fun split panel card with acetate and used a Clearly Besotted stamp set that I won last year. This is the first time I’ve used it and it’s so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!

I created a standard A2 size top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut a portion out of it with a MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die. I cut two thin borders from the leftover piece of cardstock, colored them red and set them aside. I cut a panel of acetate and adhered it behind the two pieces of cardstock to form the front flap.

I adhered the red borders and stamped the sentiment in black ink in the bottom right corner. I stamped ‘xo’ randomly over the top of the flap in two shades of green ink and adhered tiny iridescent gemstones randomly to fill in spaces.

I stamped the darling little moose on the inside, centering it between the two cardstock pieces, and then stamped the sentiment directly above it. I colored the moose with alcohol markers and that completed the card!

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! This is such a fun technique!

But First Tea

2/28/21 Runner Up Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!

Hi friends! A very happy Monday to you! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration for MIUCB #46 – Fancy Fold! Our challenges are Anything Goes and we offer an optional technique twist each month just to inspire you, and this month the twist is Fancy Fold! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created another front step card using the awesome Coffee Cup and Tea stamp sets with coordinating Coffee Cup die set from Prickley Pear Stamps! This is one of my new favorite fancy folds and I’ve made several of them. This card was created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Hochanda showcase several months back and was shown on air!

This is a standard A2 size card that folds flat for mailing. The construction is really simple and can easily be altered to make the card a different size.

I created the card base from kraft cardstock and added double-sided patterned paper layers to both base elements. I created the focal element with two die cuts, stamped the sentiment and added the tea die cut with fussy cut tea leaves.

I added a panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock with a die cut Sizzix sentiment to the back.

And one more peek… here’s the card folded flat for mailing. Such a fun design!

enjoy every second

Hi everyone! Top of the morning to you! Here’s wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Our February challenge is underway over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #55 – February Anything Goes! I created a fun slimline birthday card featuring some foiling! My go-to slimline size is 9″ x 3-3/4″ because I feel that it fits better in a #10 size business envelope.

I pulled out the Mini Minc and some red and gold foil. It has literally been ages since I played with this machine! There were several tiny spots that didn’t take the foil on the large ‘enjoy’ element (perhaps because it’s so old? hmmm…) so I dotted on some Crystal Drops to cover those areas. It looked so neat that I dotted on more Crystal Drops in various sizes until I achieved the look I wanted! Hey, there’s more than one way to skin that cat! Wait a minute… we don’t skin cats here but you know what I mean, lol! I created a card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and created a background panel of red and white striped cardstock layered on red cardstock. I adhered the ‘enjoy’ element on red cardstock layered on gold foil cardstock. I added a small layered foiled flagged sentiment and some large white flat-back pearls. Sorry for the top angle of the photo but that’s the only way I could get the foil to not be black in the photos, lol!

I embellished the inside panel cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with strips of red and white striped and gold foil cardstock, along with a layered foiled sentiment, and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more look… really happy with this despite the initial difficulty I encountered with the foil not ‘taking’ in several spots. My work-around prevailed, lol!

Cherish-Love-Forever-Beautiful

Happy Monday, everybody! Well, we’re a whole month into 2021 already! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #142 – Love Is. You guessed it – we want to see your ‘love’ creation, whether it’s for a wedding, an anniversary, a Valentine or just because! I created this corner fold wedding congrats sample for Prickley Pear Stamps using their Heart Key Crown stamps and dies. This fold is super fun!

I created the card base from white cardstock and the layers from sugarplum cardstock and a gorgeous patterned paper. I cut quite a few heart die cuts from white and sugarplum cardstock, and did a good bit of stamping and layering on all the panels.

And last but not least, this awesome card folds flat for mailing!

Thinking of You

Hi everyone! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Astrobright 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 super adorable Get Well card – the flower pot is a pocket and the flowers are adhered to a pull-out card that slides into the pocket! OMG, so cute I can’t stand it!

I started by die cutting all the pieces. I cut three large flowers, three small flowers, the pull-out card base and an embellishing strip from Astrobright Solar Yellow cardstock. Then I cut three large flower centers and six large leaves, three small flower centers and six small leaves, and a thin embellishing strip from Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock. Next I cut the flower pot and three scalloped rims (to layer together) from Pop-Tone Tangy Orange cardstock. And finally I cut the sentiment layer for the pull-out card from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock.

I assembled the flower pot to form a pocket that the pull-out card slides into. I adhered the centers to the six flowers and two leaves to each flower, then adhered the three large flowers to the pull-out card base and adhered the sentiment layer to the pull-out card. I stamped the front sentiment on the flower pot and the inside sentiment on the pull-out card. I affixed the three smaller flowers to the pull-out card using two Double-Sided Adhesive Foam Circles behind each flower. The dimension is needed for the flowers to hang over the rim of the flower pot when the card is inserted into the flower pot. The final touch was the addition of a tiny iridescent gemstone on each scallop on the rim of the flower pot.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! I’ll be making a few more of these for my stash using different colors of cardstock for the flowers!

You’re SO cool…

Happy Saturday, friends! How’s the weather where you are? It’s pretty chilly here and I love it! 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 card that would be a great Valentine, anniversary or wedding card, or a ‘just because’ kind of card! This card features some of our newest brads in the store which I paired with some awesome Washi Tape. Super simple design!

I cut a standard A2 sized top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with a slightly smaller black cardstock panel for layering. The sentiment is computer-generated which I printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and trimmed so the sentiment was in the top one-third of the panel, and layered it on the black cardstock panel. I covered a square scrap of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with Pink Checked Washi Tape and die cut a stitched square from it. I added two Ice Cream Brads and adhered several tiny black punched hearts. I adhered the die cut square to the layered white panel and adhered it to the card base. 

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the Pink Checked Washi Tape and a narrow strip of black cardstock, stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on the black cardstock.

One more look… really loving this simple design!

Advice from a sunflower

Happy Saturday, friends! Hope you’re having a great weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m excited to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a pretty CAS ‘thinking of you’ card featuring several awesome products – but the main attraction on this card is the sunflowers! I love all kinds of flowers but I would have to say that the sunflower is my favorite!

I rounded one bottom corner of my Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock card base to add a little interest. I adhered a small piece of patterned paper to the bottom of the front panel, added a strip of Wood Washi Tape and layered the panel on dark brown cardstock. I added a die cut stem and several Sunflower Brads, and adhered the layered panel to the card base. I die cut a digital sentiment and popped it up on foam pieces for a little dimension. The final touch was the addition of several small Ivory Enamel Dots.

I printed a small sunflower from the digital set on Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock for the inside and trimmed the panel with the sunflower in the lower right corner. I colored the small sunflower with alcohol markers and embellished the panel with strips of the patterned paper and dark brown cardstock, and stamped the sentiment in brown ink.

One last look… so loving how this turned out!
