Holiday Wishes To You & Yours

Hey everybody! I hope your week has started off nicely and it’s not too cold where you are! It’s snowed a couple times here and it’s pretty chilly! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis Green, Basis Red, Bright Gold Foil and Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock which I paired with some digital Christmas papers in my stash. You know how I love fun folds and this Pop-Up Presents Card can be tailored to any occasion with the use of different patterned papers on the presents!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and a layering panel from Basis Green, along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and digital Christmas papers, and adhered them all together. I created presents using red cardstock and digital Christmas paper, and embellished them with gold foil strips and snowflake red bling. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink and added an additional snowflake which completed the front.

I cut the pop-up layer for the inside from Solar White, scored it down the middle, and made four horizontal cuts and six vertical score lines for the presents. I folded the layer in half creating mountain folds on the vertical score lines. I adhered red cardstock and two patterns in the digital Christmas papers to the presents, and embellished them with gold foil strips and snowflake red bling. I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink on a scrap piece of Solar white cardstock, cut it with a Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage Stamp Edge die, and layered it on a scrap piece of green cardstock. The finishing touch was adding several more snowflakes.

Thank You Peonies

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday! I’ve popped in this morning with another awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share! This pretty thank you card features a tone-on-tone background with peonies die cut from our Basis cardstock in rich colors of red, gold, teal and dark purple! The Basis line is one of my favorites!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Basis Natural 110# cardstock. Next, I die cut the background from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Background die. Using the Simon Says Stamp Etched Peony Blossom die, I die cut peonies from Basis Red, Basis Gold, Basis Teal and Basis Dark Purple, adhered them to the card front (trimming the edges as needed) and then adhered the panel to the card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink, fussy cut the outline, and adhered it to the card front. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones (colored with an ivory alcohol marker) from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm clear Jewel Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from Baronial ivory and embellished it with strips cut from Basis Dark Purple and Basis Teal along with a leftover piece of a die cut peony used on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the same Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings stamp set in Memento Elderberry ink and layered the panel on teal cardstock.

Congrats Fun Fold

Hey everybody! Well, another weekend is behind us and we’re that much closer to Christmas! I hope you had a pleasant weekend with some nice temps! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Basis White cardstock which is another staple in my studio. It makes awesome card bases and is great for stamping and coloring. Alcohol markers blend really nicely on this cardstock without leaving any lines. Interestingly, this congrats card has no stamping or coloring; it’s made entirely with die cuts, and really IS a fun fold! ;)

Using the Creative Craft Products Double Gatefold die set, I die cut the card base from Basis 80# White cardstock, and all the layer pieces from Darice Ooh La La Prints cardstock. I assembled the panels, and as I always say, the assembly is the most fun!

I die cut the sentiment twice from Pop Tone Black Licorice and Flamingo cardstock using the STAMPlorations Congrats word die, adhered them together in a slightly offset fashion and then to the card base. I added some Eyelet Outlet 5mm clear gemstones that I colored with an alcohol marker, which completed the card.

And one more look… this is admittedly one of my favorite die sets, and I love the black and white with pop of the Flamingo pinkish-orange! The Basis White cardstock is a must-have, for sure!

Hi friends! Well, another Saturday has rolled around but that’s not a bad thing, right?! I hope you’ll be doing something fun this weekend! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring some of our Curious Metallic, Pop Tone and Basis cardstock that I paired with Royal Sundance Natural Felt cardstock. I created a pretty birthday card using these gorgeous Fall colors. I’m still on the push for Fall and some cooler weather, lol!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Sundance Felt 110# Natural cardstock. I die cut the main focal element from Curious Metallic Gold Leaf cardstock along with strips from Pop Tone Tangy Orange, Pop Tone Hot Fudge and Basis Gold, which I adhered to the underside of the die cut. I adhered the focal element to the card base, and added several gemstones from an Eyelet Outlet 3mm orange Jewel Bling Strip, which completed the card. Doesn’t get much easier than this! ;)

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Happy & Heartfelt stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, and layered the panel on Pop Tone Hot Fudge cardstock.

Happy Fall Y’all Door Card

Hey everybody! Well, another weekend has passed by us and I hope your week is off to a nice start! Fall is my favorite season and I have a CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring some of our Pop Tone and Stardream Metallic cardstock in pretty Fall colors that I paired with Baronial Ivory cardstock. We’ve sure had a warm summer this year and I guess I’m really pushing for Fall, lol! I used the Sizzix Door Fold-A-Long Thinlits with Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Tangy Orange and Jellybean Green cardstock; Stardream Metallic Antique Gold cardstock, and Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock. This card is super easy, and the fun part is that it can be tailored to any season with the wreath, so I chose orange for Fall! I can see some of these made in red for Christmas, too! ;)

I cut the door card base from Pop Tone Hot Fudge, the bow and wreath from Pop Tone Tangy Orange and Pop Tone Jellybean Green; the handle, lock and hardware from Stardream Metallic Antique Gold; and the rest of the elements from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory. I love projects like this, and the fun part is always the assembly. It’s important to note that I didn’t lose any of those tiny pieces, lol! ;)

I stamped the sentiment in Catherine Pooler Mandarin Spice ink on the sentiment panel, and then added Eyelet Outlet 4mm orange gemstones to the wreath which completed the card.

Thinking of You

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a great weekend! I just can’t believe how fast the days are zipping by… so hard to believe we’re on the downslide to the end of August already! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring my favorite Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock that I paired with our textured Blue Hydrangea cardstock, Brown Bag Kraft paper and Beach Side Prints cardstock. I love a blue and brown color combo, and even with a few brown pearls, this card has a masculine feel.

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from Beach Side Prints cardstock and a reversed scallop frame from Blue Hydrangea cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Reversed Scallop Dies. Using the Kat Scrappiness Thinking of You Word Die with Shadow, I cut the sentiment from Blue Hydrangea cardstock and the shadow from Brown Bag Kraft Paper and adhered them together. I adhered the frame to the panel and adhered them to the card base, and then added the sentiment. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet 3mm brown pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips cut from the Beach Side Prints cardstock and Brown Bag Kraft Paper. I cut another reversed scallop frame from Blue Hydrangea cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Reversed Scallop Dies and adhered it to the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Paper Smooches Lovely Thoughts stamp set in Catherine Pooler Over Coffee ink, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… what a great color combo along with amazing cardstock and dies! Love how this one turned out!

Merry Christmas Mini Slimline

Hey everybody! A very Happy Saturday to you – another week has come and gone! My sister’s 70th birthday is in two days, and for years now, I’ve said that once her birthday comes and goes, Christmas will be here in no time! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock that I paired with our Basis Red and Basis Green cardstock along with our Gold Glitter cardstock. What a gorgeous traditional Christmas color combo in a mini slimline size which is one of my favorites!

I cut a 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, along with layering panels from Basis Red and Baronial Ivory cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set, and embellishing strips from Gold Glitter and Basis Green cardstock. I cut the poinsettia layers from Basis Red, Basis Green and Gold Glitter cardstock. I assembled the panels and adhered them to the card base, and then adhered the poinsettias. I created a foiled sentiment strip with a Baronial Ivory cardstock scrap and my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System, Spellbinders Glimmer Gold Foil, and Spellbinders Glimmer Holiday Sentiments Series 2 Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. I flagged the ends with an EK Success 3/4″ square punch and adhered it to the card front with a Darice double-sided adhesive foam strip. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet red gemstones.

I cut the inside panels from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory and Basis Red cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set. I embellished the ivory panel with strips cut from Gold Glitter and Basis Green cardstock, stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Christmas Messages stamp set in Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red ink, and adhered the panel to the red cardstock layer.

And one more peek… I really love a Christmas card in traditional red and green… as much as I love Christmas cards in non-traditional colors! And I have to say that this die set is one of my favorites!

Have a Magical Day

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a fabulous week! I have an awesome CutCardStock DT inspiration project to share with you today featuring our Bright Silver Foil cardstock which is a must-have (along with the Bright Gold Foil cardstock) in my studio. I created a shaker card and used alcohol ink on the silver foil cardstock to create the background for this adorable fairy-themed birthday card!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Mantis Green cardstock and Bright Silver Foil cardstock. I dropped Ranger Aqua, Sailboat Blue, Citrus and Lettuce alcohol inks along with Ranger Alcohol Blending Solution onto the silver foil cardstock, used an air blower to move it around the foil, and set it aside to dry thoroughly. I die cut an oval frame from Kale Green cardstock using the Cottage Cutz Double-Stitched Oval dies and a fairy castle from the silver foil cardstock using the Scrap Man Fairy Castle die.

Using the smaller of the two oval dies, I die cut an oval aperture into the alcohol ink background and a piece of dark green craft foam. I adhered a piece of acetate behind the aperture, adhered the craft foam, and then adhered the Kale Green oval frame to the front of the inked background.

I added a pinch of Kat Scrappiness Mirrored Clear Confetti Dot Mix to the Mantis Green cardstock panel and adhered the background, sealing in the confetti. I stamped the sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set in Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey and Spruce inks, trimmed them and layered them on a scrap of Kale Green cardstock, and added them to the card front. The final step was adding small Eyelet Outlet turquoise gemstones to the silver foil fairy castle and adhering it to the acetate.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of Bright Silver Foil cardstock and Mantis Green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the same Prickley Pear Stamps Best Unicorn Buddies stamp set) in Catherine Poole Lime Rickey ink and layered the panel on Kale Green cardstock.

And one more peek… this shaker card is so stinkin’ cute I can’t even stand it! The alcohol ink background worked so well on the silver foil cardstock to create the background, and I love the silver foil fairy castle!

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!

Motivational Artist Trading Coin Mini Album

6/30/22 Best Technique Winner at Classic Design Challenge Blog!
7/20/22 Top 3 at ATC Around the World!

Hey everybody! Happy Huuuump 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 Pop Tone cardstock, which I absolutely love. You know how much I love me some ATCs (artist trading cards/coins/cubes)… and I thought it would be fun to make a mini album of motivational double-sided coins! I used several colors of Pop Tone cardstock that I paired with a variety of Doodlebug Design patterned papers for the coins, and various other supplies to embellish them.

I started by punching six artist trading coins from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock using my Fiskars 2-1/2″ circle punch. Next, I punched 12 circles (using the same Fiskars 2-1/2″ circle punch) from Doodlebug Design Hello Spring, Swiss Dot Rainbow Petite Prints, Gingham-Linen Rainbow Petite Prints and Nifty Notions Double-Sided 6×6 Papers. Using several dies and a scalloped circle punch, I cut a variety of shapes from Pop Tone Banana Split, Berrylicious, Blue Raspberry, Cotton Candy, Gumdrop Green and Spearmint cardstock.

I adhered a patterned paper circle and a Pop Tone cardstock shaped element to each side of all six coins. I punched a hole at the top of each coin with my WRMK Crop-A-Dile Big Bite and added a clear hole reinforcement to each. Next, I added 49 and Market botanical laser cuts, Eyelet Outlet pearls or gemstones, and a Tim Holtz Small Talk sentiment sticker to each side of all six coins. The final step was fastening the coins together with a tiny gold ball chain and clasp.

And one more look… totally loving how this project turned out! Would be super adorable pinned to a bulletin board showing a different motivational sentiment every day!
