Colorblock Hello

Colorblock Hello

White card stock is perfect for bright colors and clean and graphic designs.  For today’s project, I had some fun with color blocking using Distress Ink and some fun stamps and dies from Waffle Flower. I first die cut the Micro Grid Panel 1 background die using some Cougar Super Smooth 100# card stock, then…

Shiny Congrats

A job well done deserves a bright and shiny card.  Bright Foil card stock in Silver is the perfect backdrop for my congratulations card today!   This card stock embosses really well, so I picked out a fun, embossing folder from my collection and ran it through my Gemini Jr. for some texture.  For the sentiment, I…

Sunny Side Up

Bright oranges and yellows are so cheerful on cards.  I love using them for friendship and encouragement.  Since Pop-Tone card stock is on sale this month, I thought I’d combine a few of my favorite choices using a cute little stamp set from Spellbinders called the Breakfast Club.  I started off by first blending some…

Hello Friend

Bold blooms and a bold sentiment are perfect for my cheerful friendship card today.   I have been wanting to try out this new stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey called Sweet Blossom and thought that Pop-Tone card stock colors would be a great compliment to the solid stamping. Since the stamps are more solid with…

Skater Birthday

Masculine birthday cards are fun for me because I get to break out of my usual florals and pastels and try something a little edgier.  For today’s card, I’m using CutCardstock’s Basis Card Stock in black along with some fun background stamps for that skater dude in your life. When heat embossing on dark card…

Retro Vases

Retro designs are such a fun way to add some flair to a clean and simple card.  For today’s project, I added fun star bursts and geometric shapes to some plain vase stamps I had in my collection.  I used Basis card stock in a variety of pretty blues as my color palette. Finding the…

A Note to Say Hello

One of my favorite ways to use glitter card stock is to add just a touch using a die cut word.  For today’s project, I have a clean and simple all-occasion card perfect for a quick note to a friend or loved one. I started by die-cutting a script-style hello word die using a piece…

Sparkle Gals

I feel like fashion and glitter go hand in hand, so for today’s project, I combined the cutest stamp set with some of CutCardstock’s gorgeous glitter card stock.   To create the frame and highlight all that great sparkle, I used a die from Altenew that creates these really thin rectangle frames.  I cut three sets:…

Easter Wishes

The pastel colors of the Easter season are so pretty.  I love all the mints, pinks and robin egg blues. I thought that Curious Metallic cardstock in Aloe/Pale Green would be such a nice choice to create a  card inspired by this color palette. To start, I embossed a panel of Cougar Super Smooth #100…

Lucky Charm

I can’t resist a retro rainbow, so with St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I had to include one on my clean and simple card for today.   It’s easy to create rainbow stripes using just two pieces of Post-It Tape and the grid on your craft mat for a guide.  I masked off very tiny stripes…
