hey, there!

Hey everybody – happy first Thursday in September! I want to know how it got here so fast! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cool box card featuring cowboy boots, sunflowers and daisies. I’ve had an absolute ball playing with my Cricut and used the Cyndy G SVG Boots SVG cut file for this one which I totally love! I used a variety of cardstock in our Lessebo line in addition to a few others to bring it to life. I will admit that there are quite a few pieces but it went together seamlessly and without a hitch!

I cut the box card base, hay embellishment and inserts from Lessebo Brick Orange; sunflower petals and daisy centers from Lessebo Sunset Orange; boot soles, sunflower centers and insert layers from Lessebo Coffee Bean; sunflower center layers from Twine; greenery and layers from Lessebo Moss Green; boots from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Stardream Metallic Eris; and daisy petals from Lessebo White.

As I always say… the assembly is the most fun and I really enjoyed putting this one together! I used Tombow Mono Liquid Multi Purpose Glue for the entire assembly along with a few foam squares to pop up some of the elements. I’ve been using another glue in my glue press for a while now and decided to switch to the Tombow for a bit. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Charming Sentiments stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and cut it with the coordinating Stampin’ Up Sentiment Silhouettes die.

Using a Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Die, I cut a rectangle for the back sentiment from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Best of Greetings stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Love, love, love how this turned out! I also have a cowboy hat box card SVG cut file (also designed by Cyndy G) which I intend to make fairly soon, so stay tuned for that one as well!

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.
