Hi, friends! Happy Monday – hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Curious Metallic and Glitter cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a glitzy and glamorous little handbag to hold birthday chocolates, jewelry or a gift card! OMG, how stinkin’ cute is this?!

I found this stamp and die set at one of my favorite online stores several months ago and could not wait to get my hands on it! I cut all the purse pieces from CCS Silver Glitter cardstock and Curious Metallic White-Silver cardstock. I also used Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock for a pop of red on the charm and one of the tags, and then to tie in that pop of red I used a few red flat-back pearls. I stamped both tags in red ink (tone-on-tone stamping on the red tag) and then heat embossed the sentiment tag with clear embossing powder over top the red ink. I had a small ball chain in my stash that I used to hang the charm, tassel and tags off one of the straps.

Here’s a shot of the back…

And one more look… I love it so much I can’t stand it! And I can’t wait to make some more using different colors and patterns of cardstock. So fun!

The greatest gift

Hi everyone! A very Happy Friday to you! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuringCurious Metallic and Glitter cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a Christmas card in gold tones with a pop of traditional red and green. It’s never too early to work on those Christmas cards!

I created the poinsettia embellishment first from CCS Gold Glitter cardstock, using Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock for the center and Basis Green cardstock for the leaves, and set it aside. I cut a standard A2 size top-fold card base from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and layered a panel of Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock onto the card base. I adhered a strip of the gold glitter cardstock horizontally across the front panel and then layered a narrow strip of the gold leaf metallic cardstock onto the glitter strip. I adhered the poinsettia embellishment on the left side and then stamped the sentiment in red ink on the bottom right. I embellished the center of the poinsettia with Crystal Drops and then added a few more dots to the background for a little interest.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of the gold glitter and gold leaf metallic cardstock, stamped the sentiment in red ink, and layered the panel on the gold leaf metallic cardstock.

One more peek… I’m so smitten with this design! Absolutely loving the elegant look of the gold glitter cardstock on the gold leaf metallic cardstock!

Phantom hello card set

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! Today is my baby’s 34th birthday and his big sister will be 37 in January. I feel so old… where has the time gone?! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Pop-Tone cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! First order of business is to let you know that this post contains affiliate links. I created a set of ‘hello’ cards using what I call the phantom die cutting technique.

2020_04050010

I’m still experimenting. I’ve used foam beneath the sentiment on past phantom die cutting projects, and this time I used four layers of cardstock which yielded an equally cool result. This technique is very easy – you simply die cut the sentiment into the background, adhere the positive pieces back into the negative spaces, then adhere several additional sentiment layers on top of the original sentiment on the background. I cut the four card bases from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock. The front panels and die cut sentiments were cut from Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock, Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock, Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock and Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock. The only other embellishment used was Crystal Drops. Such a simple monochromatic design!

The inside panels were cut from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, embellished with a strip of cardstock and floral Washi Tape, and a sentiment stamped in black ink. All four inside panels are the same.

2020_0405009

One more look at all four cards… sure am loving how these turned out! I think I will recreate this project using the same Pop-Tone colors with black foam beneath the sentiment for some interest. I think that would look really cool! ;)

so happy for you

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring Pop-Tone cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! First order of business is to let you know that this post contains affiliate links. I created a pretty congrats card that initially made me think ‘wedding’ but really could be used for just about any occasion calling for congratulations – and this one is loaded with color!

This is a quilt block card. I used Pop-Tone Grape Jelly cardstock, Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock, Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock and Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock as the base layers of the quilt blocks which really pop on the Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock background. I matched the flower ink colors to the colors of the Pop-Tone cardstock and added some tiny iridescent gemstones to the center of each flower.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of the Pop-Tone cardstock used for the quilt blocks on the front, stamped the sentiment in black ink and layered the panel on the black Pop-Tone cardstock.

One more peek… I’m so smitten with these Pop-Tone cardstock colors! ;)

birthday wishes

5/31/20 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
6/1/20 Top Sprout at A Place To Start!

Hi everyone! Happy Fri-YAY! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Basis cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! First order of business is to let you know that this post contains affiliate links. This birthday card features the gorgeous blue that I paired with white linen, and it’s a super easy design. I created a standard A2 size card base from Classic Linen Solar White 100# cardstock and then cut a slightly smaller panel from Classic Linen Solar White 80# cardstock.

2020_0323005

I punched ten 3/4″ squares from Basis Medium Blue cardstock and scored each one vertically and horizontally for some interest. I rotated the squares to create diamond shapes and arranged them on a piece of copy paper, centering with a T-Square ruler, and taped them in place with removable tape. Then I flipped them over, added some glue to the back of each one, flipped them over again and adhered them to the Classic Linen Solar White 80# cardstock panel. Using Stick-It adhesive sheet, I adhered the panel to white foam and then to the card base. I added some tiny white flat-back pearls to center of each along with the sentiment stamped in blue ink, die cut and popped up on foam tape.

2020_0323006

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock and embellished it with a strip of the Basis Medium Blue cardstock adhered down the left side. I stamped the simple sentiment in blue ink.

2020_0323007

One more look… loving how this simple but pretty design turned out! I’m thinking I may CASE my own design soon to create a set of these cards to gift! ;)

Thank You So Much (set of 4)

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having some beautiful Spring weather where you are! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring Basis cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created a pretty set of four 4-1/4″ square thank you cards that would be a delightful addition to anyone’s stash!

These cards were quick and easy – my favorite kind, lol! I worked in an assembly-line fashion, cutting all the card bases and front layering panels from Basis Grey cardstock, Basis Green cardstock, Basis Light Yellow cardstock and Basis Teal cardstock. Then I cut four slightly larger layering panels, four 3/4″ strips to go across the card fronts and four plain inside panels from Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. I adhered the layering panels together, leaving just a tad of the ivory cardstock showing. I applied 5/8″ floral Washi Tape to the strips and adhered the strips horizontally across the layering panels. I stamped the sentiment four times and punched each with a circle punch, then layered each one on a slightly larger circle punched from the same colored cardstock.

The inside panel is the same for each card, consisting of an ivory square embellished with a piece of floral Washi Tape and a sentiment stamped in black ink.

And one more peek at the set… loving how these turned out!

Metallic Gift Card Holders for CutCardStock DIY Wedding Blog Hop!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday and a big giant WELCOME to the CutCardStock blog‘s DIY Wedding Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow – May 9th and 10th! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support!

Come hop with us! There is a $40 CutCardStock gift card up for grabs! Whaaaat?! The winner will be randomly selected via number generator and announced on Monday, May 11th 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 entry into the giveaway) or upload a wedding-themed project (good for two entries into the giveaway). We would absolutely LOVE IT if you link up a project with us! ;)

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

Now, let me side-track you for a moment or three to share two gorgeous embossed metallic gift card holders I created featuring Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, Curious Metallic Pale Aloe cardstock and Curious Metallic Pink Quartz cardstock! This is a super simple gift card holder design that can be made for literally ANY occasion… glam it up, as I’ve done, for a special occasion or party it up in fun colors and patterned papers for a birthday – and anything in between! I have had these handwritten instructions in my tutorial arsenal for many years and I believe credit should be given to Gina K with StampTV.

I did some dry embossing with a gorgeous embossing folder on the outside panels, heat embossed the inside sentiment in gold and heat embossed the circle closure element in gold. These Curious Metallics do a FINE job of dry and heat embossing!

Here is a quick tutorial showing you my process for making these gift card holders. Cut 80# Classic Crest base at 4-1/4″ x 10″ and score at 3″, 4″ 5″ and 8″ on the long edge. Round the corners on the 2″ section (this is the front flap), then fold as shown.

Cut Curious Metallic panels for the inside – two at 2-3/4″ x 4″, two at 3/4″ x 4″ and one at 1-3/4″ x 4″ – and adhere to base.

Cut Curious Metallic panels for the outside – two at 2-3/4″ x 4″ and one at 1-3/4″ x 4″ – and dry emboss. Heat emboss the inside sentiment and then heat emboss the round element in gold and punch with a circle punch.

Adhere the embossed panels to the outside, adhere the circle element to the flap and apply a velcro circle for the closure. Apply a strong adhesive to the outside edge and sides of the narrow center section and pinch them together to bond. Don’t apply any adhesive to the center-most fold.

Flip the gift card holder over and trim 1/16″ off the center-most fold and then your gift card will slip into the opening. :)

And I have one more quick ‘bonus’ project to share using the Classic Crest Baronial Ivory 80# cardstock paired with the amazing Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock and Curious Metallic Violette cardstock which I absolutely LOVE together! The Curious Metallics are so awesome to work with and this color combo makes such an elegant wedding card! And this card is super simple – adhere a Gold Leaf cardstock die cut to the top of a Violette cardstock panel and embellish with a single iridescent gemstone for a little bling, and heat emboss a wedding sentiment in the lower right corner of the panel. Then embellish the inside panel with strips of leftover cardstock used on the front and stamp a wedding sentiment. And *poof* you have a gorgeous wedding card!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a good week – it’s just about over! I’m super stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the glitter cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! First order of business is to let you know that this post contains affiliate links. I created a pretty friendship card. I’m really loving the silver with the pop of black!

I created a standard sized A2 top fold card base from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I cut a slightly smaller background panel from Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, rounded all four corners and adhered it to the card base. I added some black plaid ribbon tied with metallic silver string to a tag from my stash to use as the focal element for the front of the card. I cut some random lengths of CCS Silver Glitter cardstock and adhered them to the background. I popped the tag up on black foam and adhered it to the card. I finished the design with several smoke-colored gemstones.

For the inside, I adhered a strip of black and white gingham paper to match the gingham on the tag, along with narrow strips cut from the Black Licorice and Silver Glitter cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment in black ink.

And one more peek… loving how this turned out! I really love the CCS Glitter cardstock! OMGoodness! ;)

5/1/20 Winner at Paperbabe Stamps!

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! I’m super stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring glitter cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack! First order of business is to let you know that this post contains affiliate links. I created a glitzy gold-infused birthday card – and I’m in love with the effect it has on these gorgeous colors!

I created a standard A2 size top fold card base from Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I have to tell you that this is some of the best cardstock on the market to make card bases from. I cut a background layer from Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock and adhered diagonal strips cut from CCS Gold Glitter cardstock alternating with slightly wider strips cut from Pop-Tone Orange Fizz cardstock, Pop-Tone Razzleberry cardstock and the Wild Cherry cardstock. I added more narrow glitter strips diagonally across each of the colored strips. I hadn’t originally planned to do this, but so glad the idea crossed my mind because I love the effect! For the sentiment piece, I die cut a double-stitched oval from the Wild Cherry cardstock which I layered on another oval die cut from the Classic Crest. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed it in gold.

I embellished the inside with strips of the colored and glitter cardstock used on the front, and stamped the sentiment in red ink.

And here’s one more look… so totally smitten with how this turned out!

I embellished the inside panel with strips of the Curious Metallic Gold Leaf and Violette cardstocks and a smaller embossed and die cut flower, and then stamped the inside sentiment in purple ink.
