Let Your Dreams Set Sail

7/30/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hey everybody! I hope you had a good week and you have something fun planned this weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Pop Tone Lemon Drop and Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock which I paired with our Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. The Pop Tone line is one of my favorites because of all the beautiful colors. I created a CAS masculine birthday card using a stamp set and punch that I think I’ve only used once and felt like they needed to come out for another play!

I cut a standard A2 size top-fold card base from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. Using the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set, I stamped the lake and sailboat shadow on the card base in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue and Cove Blue inks. I die cut a stitched circle for the sun from Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock using the Keep It Simple Stitched Circles Nested Dies and stamped the lake across the bottom of the circle and fussy cut the border to match up with the lake stamped on the card front.

I ink blended Ranger fossilized amber distress ink around the edges of the circle with a blending brush. Using the same stamp set, I stamped the sailboat elements in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Twilight inks and punched them with the Stampin’ Up Sailboat Builder punch. I adhered the sun and sailboat, and then stamped the birds and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the inside sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then adhered Pop Tone Red Hot and Pop Tone Lemon Drop cardstock strips across the top.

7/9/23 CAS Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Wishing you all a wonderful Friday! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share that consists mainly of organic/free-form shaped images! This clean and simple card features our Cougar Smooth White, Pop-Tone Black Licorice and Stardream Metallic Amethyst cardstock. AND one of my favorite purple and teal color combos! These stamps have been sitting on my desk for months and I’m not sure why I haven’t used them before now… this is truly one of the easiest cards I’ve ever made!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base along with layering panels from Cougar Smooth 80# White and Pop Tone Black cardstock, and rounded the bottom right corners. I stamped the free-form shaped images from the My Favorite Things Petite Prints stamp set in Catherine Pooler Serenade and Cummerbund inks and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the punched circles in random areas, popping them up on foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in black ink on a Cougar scrap and cut it with the coordinating Charming Sentiments die. I added a few clear iridescent gemstones which completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Cougar cardstock and embellished it with Pop Tone Black Licorice, Stardream Metallic Amethyst and Cougar White strips. I added another sentiment from the same Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiment stamps and dies.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a good week – it’s almost the weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock and Cougar Smooth White cardstock that I paired with a pretty foiled sentiment. This design is super simple, has some great texture, and would be easy to mass produce with different sentiments.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock. Using a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Tri-Frame Die, I die cut three stitched frames from Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock and one from Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock. I adhered the white frames together for dimension and reserved one of the negative space rectangles for the inside panel.

Using the Sizzix Bohemian Botanicals 3-D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, I dry embossed the black negative space rectangle (after spritzing the back side with a little water) to use as the focal panel on the card front. I created the sentiment using a Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Hot Foil Plate along with Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and a foil roll from the Glimmer Hot Foil Spellbound Variety Pack, and cut it with the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Fancy Script Words Die. The finishing touch was adding several pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gold Pearl Mix.

The inside panel consisted of one of the Cougar Smooth 80# White cardstock negative space rectangles and the Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock frame. I added a sentiment created with a Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Plate, Glimmer Hot Foil System and Glimmer Hot Foil Gold Roll, and cut it with the coordinating Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Die.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a great week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share featuring Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock (a staple in my studio) that I paired with our Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock! This pretty birthday card was created in black and white with just a pop of red, which is one of my all-time favorite color combos! The best part is the supply list for this clean and simple design is minimal and the card is easy to reproduce!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with small layering panels from Solar White and CutCardStock Pop Tone Black Licorice. I created an off-center frame by die cutting a stitched rectangle into the Solar White panel using a My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX die which I retained for later use. I hand cut a rectangle into the Black Licorice panel, adhered the frame panels together, and applied double-sided foam strips to the back.

I applied Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot washi tape to a strip of Solar White cardstock which I layered horizontally beneath the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Layering Leaves stamp set at the top of the card base front in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then stamped the florals (from the same stamp set) on Solar White cardstock in black ink, punched them with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Bough Punch, and adhered them to the stitched rectangle which I adhered inside the frame. I added a small red bow fashioned from Stampin’ Up Real Red ribbon and several Eyelet Outlet small red gemstones, which completed the card front.

For the inside, in keeping with the design on the front, I applied Doodlebug Design Beetle Black Swiss Dot washi tape to another strip of Solar White cardstock which I layered horizontally across the top. The final step was stamping the sentiment (from the same Stampin’ Up Layering Leaves stamp set) in Tuxedo Black ink on the second stitched rectangle die cut.

Celebrate mini slimline step card

Hey everybody! Dang, another weekend has come and gone! Where is the time going?! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share today featuring Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock that I paired with our gorgeous Stardream Metallic Azalea and Kale Green cardstock! I absolutely love a pink and green color combo, and I’ve been a fan of step cards for many years and have made them in many different sizes. I put my thinking cap on and re-worked the measurements to create one in a mini slimline 3-1/2″ x 6″ size! I’m sharing the measurements for this (as well as my regular slimline size) in the Freebies section of my blog HERE if you’re interested.

I cut the mini slimline size step card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock that I ran through the Big Shot with Cuttlebug Swiss Dot and Candy Cane Strip embossing folders. I assembled the card and added a sentiment to the front that I die cut from Kale Green cardstock using the Scrapbook.com Celebrate die. I also added floral die cuts created with the Pinkfresh Studio In The Meadow Washi Tape and Die. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Morganite Muse Embellishment Mix with my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the back panels from 80# Solar White and Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Memento Cottage Ivy ink.

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring quite a variety of cardstock! I had a play with my Scan N Cut and created a fun wedding truck box card in mainly purple but with a pop of silver, red and green. I absolutely love box cards and I really enjoyed putting this one together!

Using my Scan N Cut, I cut the card base and box layers from Curious Metallic Violette, the windshield and mirrors from Dolphin Gray, the hearts from Pop Tone Grape Jelly and Red Wagon, the bumper from Bright Silver Foil, the wedding rings and diamond from Bright Silver Foil and Silk Glitter Opulent Opal, the flower and leaves from Red Wagon and Pop Tone Jellybean Green, the tail lights from Red Wagon, the tires from Pop Tone Black Licorice and the sentiment letters from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock. As I always say, the fun part is the assembly!

I added a sentiment to the back of the card which wasn’t part of the cut file. Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX, I die cut a rectangle from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Catherine Poole Queen For A Day ink.

Here are two additional shots of the card – one angled and one folded flat for mailing.

Happy Holidays

Hey everybody! It’s just amazing to me that the month of April is just about over. Where is the time going?! I’ve mentioned several times that my mom always said that the older we get the faster time flies. Boy, she was right! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Kale Green, Scottish Highlands Green and Tartan Red cardstock which I paired with my all-time favorite Neenah Classic Crest Solar White! I’m always in Christmas mode so I used some new Christmas paper and foliage dies in my stash to make this festive card!

Using the Kat Scrappiness Foliage Dies, I die cut the holly leaves and berries and the sprig from CutCardStock Kale Green, Scottish Highlands Green and Tartan Red cardstock and assembled them. Next, I die cut the wreath foliage from CutCardStock Kale Green cardstock and assembled it, adding three sets of holly leaves and berries (reserving the fourth one for the inside).

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a plaid paper in the Craft Consortium Tartan 6×6 double-sided paper pad. I used the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add-On stamps and dies for the front sentiment, stamping the sentiment in Memento Northern Pine ink. I added several Darice clear gemstones and a bow fashioned from Really Reasonable Ribbon red ribbon to the wreath.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of Tartan paper and Kale Green cardstock used on the front as well as the fourth set of holly leaves and berries. Using the Taylored Expressions In & Out Christmas stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Northern Pine ink.

Get Well Soon mini slimline

4/23/23 CAS Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi everybody! A big ol’ Happy Tuesday to you all! I hope your week has started off nicely! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Astrobrights Eclipse Black and Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock which I paired with my all-time favorite Neenah Classic Crest Solar White – and a piece of an empty tissue box! I love upcycling… makes me so happy! This is the second card I’ve made with an empty tissue box – the first one was for another design team (which they’ve seen) but I’m not allowed to showcase it on my blog for another few weeks, so stay tuned!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Pop Tone Sno Cone and Astrobright Eclipse Black cardstock. Seems that tissue boxes these days come in such pretty prints, so I saved one to use for the front panel of this card. Using the Kat Scrappiness Get Well Soon Sentiment with Shadow Die, I die cut the sentiment from Astrobright Eclipse Black and the shadow from 80# Solar White. The finishing touch was adding a few gemstones from the Trinity Stamps Aquamarine Ripple Embellishment Mix using my Trinity Pick Up Stick.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover piece of the tissue box and strips of Pop Tone Sno Cone and Astrobright Eclipse Black cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Keep It Simple Get Well sentiment stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Hello mini slimline

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! Can you believe we’re on the downslide to the end of March already? Where is the time going?! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring my favorite Classic Crest which I paired with a nice variety of other cardstock in the store! In addition to the Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, I used Bright Gold Foil; Pop Tone Cotton Candy, Jellybean Green and Gumdrop Green; Stardream Metallic Azalea and Flame; Basis Dark Orange, and textured Kale Green and Mantis cardstock for this CAS mini slimline. I used to be very intimidated by clean and simple, but over the past few years I’ve been loving it more and more!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White along with a background panel from 80# Solar White using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Quilted Backdrop Die. Using the Sizzix Geo Floral Frame Thinlits, I cut the frames from Bright Gold Foil, and all the flowers and leaves from Pop Tone Cotton Candy, Pop Tone Jellybean Green, Pop Tone Gumdrop Green, Stardream Metallic Azalea, Stardream Metallic Flame, Basis Dark Orange, Kale Green and Mantis cardstock. I assembled the focal element and then cut the sentiment from Azalea cardstock using the Art Impressions Windows to the World Die. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 4mm pink pearls.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from Azalea and Gold Foil cardstock. I added a foiled sentiment created with my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Glimmer Gold Foil and Glimmer Mini Everyday Sentiments Plate & Die Set.

Pair of New Baby Cards

Hey everybody! Hope your week is going great so far! Spring is on it’s way and I’m wondering if any of you are having warmer weather yet? We still have several feet of snow on the ground here in southwestern Colorado and it’s pretty chilly, so I imagine it’ll be at least another month until we see any warmer temps. There’s a whole lot of snow to melt, lol! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis Natural cardstock paired with several cardstock colors in the Pop Tone line! I’ve been having a little fun with my Scan N Cut and created a couple new baby cards with envelopes using the Baby Belly Card 2 cut file from My Scrap Chick, and I’m totally smitten! These cards couldn’t be any cuter! ;)

I cut everything in duplicate: the card base and baby parts (lol) from Basis Natural cardstock; the mouth from Pop Tone Black Licorice; the tooth, diaper and inside panel from Pop Tone Sweet Tooth; the diaper pin head from Pop Tone Cotton Candy (for the girl) and Pop Tone Limeade (for the boy); and the diaper pin wire from Bright Silver Foil.

I inked the edges of the baby parts with Ranger antique linen distress ink for a little definition, and then inked the cheeks with Ranger tattered rose distress ink. After assembling the cards, I stamped the sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Paper Pretties Oh Baby stamp set. The coordinating envelopes were cut from Colorbok Delilah and Mint Julep 12×12 paper pads in my stash.

The inside sentiment, also from the Paper Pretties Oh Baby stamp set and stamped in black ink, is the same on both cards.
