Do you do holiday entertaining? One of my favorite things to do is set up a holiday table! This year, I’m doing a red and white motif in my dining room, and I wanted to have something on the plates that is eye catching, but also something that guests can take home with them. This…

Autumn lovers “fall” into 2 categories…Harvest fans, and Halloween fans! And if you’re a lover of one (or both) celebrations this time of year, you might like this project using the Basis card sets on sale at CutCardStock this month. It’s a great option when you need a quick card or want to make several…

Hi CutCardStock friends! I sure do love the back-to-school frenzy this time of year. My kids are finishing up high school and college but that doesn’t stop me from getting in those first few days of school supply shopping and first day pictures. If you are getting your kids (or teachers) ready for that first…
This year has been the BIG birthday year for many of my friends. One of my best girlfriends from college is turning the big 5-0! Even though she lives out of town, I will be seeing her later this year. For now, I wanted to send her a “party in a box” that will make…
I attended a wedding not too long ago that had the prettiest decorations. On the aisle, they hung silk flower balls by a ribbon on a shepherd’s hook. I thought it was lovely! Once I see something like that, my next thought usually is…I can make that! Considering the cost of silk flowers, I thought…
Do you remember the song from childhood that goes “Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold?” I learned that song in Girl Scouts, and I wanted to recreate that idea in a project for my daughter and her best friend. They have been friends since Brownies! Soon…
We are in the middle of the Summer celebrations at my house! I love decorating for every holiday, and the 4th of July is no exception. Today I’d like to show you a decoupaged project – a patriotic firecracker display for my mantel using scraps of wood and CutCardStock paper. I went to a local…
