Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you had a great weekend and have something fun planned this weekend! I have a pretty CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share this morning featuring our Bright Gold Foil cardstock which I paired with our Basis Green and Basis Light Lime cardstock. This engagement or wedding congratulations card has a filigree leaf background cut from the gold foil cardstock which really makes a statement!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. Using the Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Background die set, I cut the filigree leaf background from Bright Gold Foil cardstock which I adhered to a Basis Green cardstock stitched rectangle panel with spray adhesive. I die cut a stitched leaf from Basis Light Lime cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Catherine Pooler Deck the Halls ink. I picked out a die cut foiled floral element that I had already created with the Pinkfresh Studio Joyful Bouquet washi tape and die, adhered it to the top of the leaf, and then adhered the panel to the card base. I added several Kat Scrappiness gold pearls to the leaf which completed the card front.

Using the same Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Backfground die set, I die cut a stitched rectangle panel from Basis Green cardstock for the inside along with a thin frame from Bright Gold Foil cardstock which I adhered to the stitched rectangle panel with spray adhesive. I also die cut a slightly smaller stitched rectangle panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using a My Favorite things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics along with an embellishing strip from Basis Light Lime cardstock which I adhered together. I stamped a sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set) in Catherine Pooler Deck the Halls ink. I adhered an additional Pinkfresh Studio foiled floral element and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… totally loving how this turned out! Green is my favorite color, so I automatically went for the Basis Green and Basis Light Lime cardstock to compliment the Bright Gold Foil cardstock!

Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! We’re already a week into June and that just blows my mind! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Pop Tone cardstock that’s on sale this month so be sure to stock up! You can’t go wrong with the amazing colors to choose from! This 4th of July card I’m sharing uses Sweet Tooth and Wild Cherry cardstock with stamping in blue ink. This is a simple Americana design that would be super easy to mass produce!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base, layering panel and die cut stitched square from Pop Tone Sweet Tooth cardstock along with a layering panel and square from Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. Using the Deep Red Grunge Stars & Stripes rubber stamp and Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes ink, I randomly stamped the grunge flag over the white cardstock layering panel and then stamped the flag once on the die cut square. I spritzed the die cut square with Tattered Angels Iridescent Silver Glimmer Mist to add a little shimmer. I then adhered the stamped pieces to the red cardstock layers.

I stamped the sentiment from The Project Bin’s Red White and Boom stamp set in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink on the die cut square and then heat embossed it in Hero Arts Cherry Red embossing powder to make it stand out. I adhered the die cut square to the background panel and then adhered them to the front of the card base. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet red gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Pop Tone Sweet Tooth cardstock and embellished it with a couple leftover strips of Pop Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in blue ink and layered the panel on red cardstock.

And one more peek… really loving the Americana aspect of this card in white and red cardstock with stamping in blue ink!

Hey y’all, Happy Hump Day! Hope you’re having a great week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring more of our Basis cardstock that’s on sale this month. I’m a huge fan of the Basis 110# weight for card bases, and we have some absolutely gorgeous colors of Basis 80# layering weight, so be sure to stock up! I have shared quite a few Mother’s Day cards over the past several months, and since Father’s Day will be here in just a few short weeks, I’m still cranking out Father’s Day cards. I happened to have some cool seascape patterned paper in my stash that coordinates very well with a new stamp set and coordinating punch, so that’s the direction I went!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from our Basis 110# White cardstock along with layering panels from Basis Blue cardstock and a seascape patterned paper which I adhered together to create a cool background. I stamped the whale from the Stampin’ Up ‘Whale Done’ stamp set in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink on a scrap of 80# Solar White and punched it with the coordinating punch. I punched several additional whales from scraps of 80# Solar White and Basis White that I had out on my desk, and layered them behind the stamped whale for a little dimension. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the upper right corner and added a small green enamel heart, which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the seascape patterned paper and Basis Blue cardstock used on the front. I stamped the inside sentiment from the Hero Arts ‘Year-Round Messages’ stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Basis White and added some narrow strips of Basis Medium Blue cardstock for a little interest.

And one more look… totally loving this card! Our Basis cardstock paired with great patterned paper makes the most awesome cards!

Hey everybody! I hope your week has started off nicely! Absolutely no complaints here… we are in our happy place doing what we love and we’re having some gorgeous weather! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis cardstock that’s on sale this month. This line is one of my favorites so be sure to stock up while it’s on sale – there are some fantastic colors available! I’m in Father’s Day card mode right now (more commissioned by our little local hardware/everything else store) and this one is really cute!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from our Basis Gray cardstock along with layering panels from Basis Burgundy cardstock and two coordinating patterned papers which I adhered together to create a nice masculine background. I stamped the record from the Stampin’ Up ‘For The Record’ stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut it with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die, paper piecing the inside heart with the burgundy cardstock. I die cut several extra circles from the gray cardstock and layered them behind the stamped record for a little dimension. I stamped the diagonal stripes for the large sentiment on an 80# Basis White scrap in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink and embossed the sentiment in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder over Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. I stamped the small sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Tuxedo Black ink in the bottom right corner which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Dolphin cardstock and embellished it with strips of the patterned paper and Basis Burgundy cardstock used on the front. I stamped the inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up ‘Happy & Heartfelt’ stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! This Basis cardstock is so awesome and makes the nicest cards! My dad’s been gone since 1975 but I sure enjoy creating Father’s Day cards for other people! ;)

Hey everybody! Well, another Thursday has rolled around which means the weekend is rapidly approaching! Not a bad thing, huh?! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our glitter cardstock that’s on sale this month. I created my first edge-to-edge shaker and love how it turned out! The touch of our Gold Glitter cardstock with the layered flower on the front of this commissioned Mother’s Day card really looks nice. The die cut flower has many layers and was created with several shades of purple, green and brown cardstock, and a little bit of golden yellow cardstock in the flower center.

Using the Sizzix Bloom Colorize Thinlits, I die cut all the pieces of the layered flower from our Basis Dark Purple cardstock, Pop-Tone Grapesicle cardstock, Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock, Astrobrights Planetary Purple cardstock, Grape Jellybean cardstock, Basis Pink cardstock, Pop-Tone Cotton Candy cardstock, Pop-Tone Gumdrop Green cardstock, Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, Basis Green cardstock, Royal Sundance Linen Emerald cardstock, Basis Gold cardstock, Brown Bag Kraft Paper and Basis Brown cardstock, and assembled it.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from 80# Solar White cardstock, Gold Glitter cardstock and Basis Dark Purple cardstock which I adhered together. I cut a strip of Gold Glitter cardstock and adhered it toward the bottom of the panel. I laid the assembled flower on the panel to get an idea of where to stamp the sentiment, and then stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Mom stamp set in Memento Grape Jelly ink. I slid the panel into a Tonic Studios A2 Shaker Pocket along with a pinch of shaker bits (consisting of an assortment of Spiegelmom Scraps and Darice sequins) and adhered it to the front of the card base.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of Basis Dark Purple cardstock and Gold Glitter cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Mom stamp set in Memento Grape Jelly ink and layered the panel on the dark purple cardstock.

And here’s one more look… not too bad for my first attempt at an edge-to-edge shaker card, even though it was difficult to photograph with all that acetate! Loving the gold glitter cardstock with this layered flower!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday – I hope you had a fabulous week and you’re doing something fun this weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our glitter cardstock that’s on sale this month. Our glitter cardstock is amazing because the glitter doesn’t rub off like some of the other brands out there. I created this mini slim Christmas card in non-traditional colors of purple and teal, and it features our Silver Glitter cardstock that I colored with alcohol markers and paired with our Bright Silver Foil cardstock. There’s nothing prettier to me than a Christmas card in colors other than the traditional red and green!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Basis 110# White cardstock along with layering panels from Basis 80# White cardstock and Basis Dark Purple cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers Dies. I upcycled a pretty piece of wide teal, white and purple ribbon for this project that a stamp order was wrapped in a couple months ago. I adhered it to the left side of the white cardstock layering panel and then adhered the panel to the dark purple panel.

Using the Sizzix Seasonal Sketch Thinlits, I die cut the base flower petals, berries and leaves from Silver Glitter cardstock and colored them with purple and teal alcohol markers, and then die cut the outlines from Bright Silver Foil cardstock. I colored several tiny clear gemstones with a yellow alcohol marker and adhered them to the center of the flower. I adhered the flower to the card front and added a foiled sentiment that I created with the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Silver Foil, and Spellbinders Glimmer Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Amethyst Accent Embellishment Mix with the Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from Basis 80# White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Basis Dark Purple cardstock and Silver Glitter cardstock colored with the teal alcohol marker. I added another foiled sentiment created with the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Silver Foil, and Spellbinders Glimmer Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, and layered the panel on the dark purple cardstock.

And one more peek… totally loving how this turned out! This silver glitter and silver foil cardstock is ah-maazing and makes the most beautiful embellishments for cards! Who doesn’t love glitter and shine?!

Hey, everybody! Happy Friday! What you got goin’ on this weekend… anything fun?! Lol, you know where I’ll be (wink-wink)! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Curious Metallic cardstock on sale this month! Have you ever even considered making earrings out of cardstock?! I created another couple pairs of fringe earrings – one pair is made entirely from Curious Metallic cardstock and embellished with tiny clear gemstones, and the other pair has Curious Metallic cardstock elements but is made primarily from craft leather and embellished with Nuvo Bottle Green Crystal Drops. These were so much fun!

This first pair is made entirely of cardstock. I die cut the pieces for each earring from Curious Metallic White Silver, Curious Metallic Violette and Curious Metallic Night. I assembled them with Bearly Art precision craft glue, affixed the earring wires and rings, and then adhered tiny clear gemstones.

This second pair has Curious Metallic cardstock elements but is made primarily from craft leather. I die cut two of the pieces for each earring from Curious Metallic Chestnut and Curious Metallic Aloe, and the fringe pieces from brown and green craft leather. I assembled them with Bearly Art precision craft glue, affixed the earring wires and rings, and then applied tiny dots of Bottle Green Crystal Drops.

And one more peek of each pair… super happy with how these turned out! Not sure whether I want to gift them or keep them! ;)

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a fabulous week and not working too hard, regardless of where you’re working! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring cardstock from our gorgeous line of Curious Metallic that’s on sale this month! Be sure to stock up – this is one of my many favorites! I created a pretty thinking of you card with Curious Metallic White Gold cardstock and Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock along with an alcohol pearls background beneath the Paper Rose Gum Leaf Border Die.

I started by creating a vellum background panel. I dropped Ranger Elixir and Radiant Alcohol Pearls onto the vellum and pounced a Ranger Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool with Felt to distribute the alcohol pearls, then trimmed the panel. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Curious Metallic White Gold cardstock along with a border using the Paper Rose Gum Leaf Border Die. The die was actually created to cut directly into the card base so I tweaked it a bit and created a separate panel that I could adhere my alcohol pearl background beneath and then adhere both to the front of the card base. Using my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Gold Foil, and Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Mini Christmas Sentiment Strips Plate and Die Set, I created a sentiment strip on Neenah Classic Baronial Ivory cardstock which I trimmed and adhered across the bottom of the card front on a double-sided adhesive foam strip. I added several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Andradite Sparkle Embellishment Mix using the Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with narrow strips of Curious Metallic White Gold cardstock and Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Waffle Flower Essential Sentiments stamp set in Memento Cottage Ivy ink and layered the panel on gold leaf cardstock.

And one more peek… this cardstock is SO pretty and makes card designs absolutely pop! Love how this turned out!
