By Amber Rain Davis I love this year’s Pantone Color of the Year, Living Coral, and I just had to create something in the coral family. Stardream Metallic Coral cardstock is a beautiful soft coral that’s perfect for a variety of cards. Today we’re creating an engagement/wedding card. I started by die-cutting a piece of Stardream Metallic Coral cardstock…
I love using digital prints that I can download and print at home, but don’t love settling for the quality that I get from my home printer. That’s where CutCardStock comes in. Not only do I love using their printing services for invitations and envelopes, but their high quality printing makes my digital art prints…

Happy Friday my crafty friends! I’m going to show you a birthday card with the Astrobright Cardstock as the background. Here is the cardstock I picked Astrobright Solar Yellow. Then used another layer on top to break it into smaller areas. The cardstock for the top layer used is Classic Crest Solar White. Stamp and color the…
It’s a gray, windy, and chilly day in Chicagoland, but I’ve got flowers, brides, and lots of color filling my day! January is when I start to receive a lot of wedding-oriented orders, as spring bridal showers and summer weddings are being planned. I love to illustrate and incorporate floral illustrations into my work whenever possible, so…
Hi crafty friends! I’m back with another pink Valentine’s Day card – actually, I think it would be a good card to give anytime of the year. I started with a piece of Astrobright Cardstock in Plasma Pink die cut down to 5-1/2″x 4-1/4″. Then, I took a piece of Neenah Classic Crest cardstock in Solar White and die cut…
By Amber Rain Davis Cover dies and precut & scored card panels can help us create clean and simple cards in a jiffy. At times, they’re a little too simple. Using metallic cardstock and adding some hand drawn outlines or a clear embossed background can add just the right amount of something special. These cards feature Stardream Metallic…
By Amber Rain Davis I love modern black and white lines with a pop of color and I’m so digging this welcome to the neighborhood card. This card features DCS Granny Apple cardstock and Curious Metallic Cryogen white for a bit of sparkle. When I got this Diamond Design Background stamp from The Stamp…
I’m getting ready for Valentine’s Day and creating cards for the grandkids. I wanted cards that resembled the little heart-shaped candies with different sayings on them. So that’s my inspiration and here’s what I came up with. The bright pinks and reds of the Astrobright Card Stock collection worked great for these cards. I used…
One of the sentiments I see a lot in stamp sets is “sending happy thoughts”. This is one of my favorite greetings to send to people because it let’s you know you are right there cheering them on in their journey or just reminding them that they are important to you. For today’s project, I…
Love is in the air! Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it, so I decided to play around today with a card design. I’m actually teaching a brush lettering class in early February where we will make a card, so I wanted to come up with something that was relatively simple for anyone…
Hello crafty friends! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. Right now I’m in that weird limbo between Christmas and New Year’s where I’ve eaten WAY too much sugar and cheese, and I have no idea what day it is – LOL! I’ve been feeling a little guilty because I usually take a little gift…
