Important announcements from CutCardStock!
It’s that time of year when I tend to have more weddings and anniversaries to celebrate. So, I decided to build up my stash of these types of cards. Nothing says wedding or anniversary like beautiful metallic papers. Something about the extra shimmer and shine makes a clean and simple layout extra special. That was…
Hi there! Happy Friday! YAY~~What kinds of cards do you make the most? For me, they’re birthday cards and thank you cards. Today I’m going to show you some simple to make cards with Pop-Tones cardstock. Here are the colors of cardstock I picked: Cotton Candy, Banana Split, Bubble Gum and Grape Jelly. First, cut out some…
Hooray! A new box of supplies from CutCardStock arrived this week and I was SO EXCITED! Especially for the Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paint Set and the Zig Water Brushes. I didn’t end up using the Micron Pens for this post, but they are one of my FAVORITE pens to sketch with, so I kept them…
Hi Crafters! I love the bright colors of the Pop Tones cardstock so I wanted them to be the focus of my card. I started by stamping multiple flowers on to the Pop Tones cardstock in Razzleberry and Red Hot. Then I stamped some leaves onto three different colors of the Pop Tones cardstock- Limeade, Sour Apple Green, Jelly Bean Green. I stamped all of my images with…
Looking for a unique handmade gift? Maybe for a friend who needs some encouragement. Pick up an inexpensive canvas at your local craft store and personalize it with whatever you have on hand. I bought the canvas in a two pack at Hobby Lobby. But you can get them anywhere. I started by covering the…
How many “hello” dies does one card maker need? I say, you can’t have too many! For my project today, I’m utilizing a few of my favorite “hello” dies for a clean and simple, colorful card. Pop Tone card stock, on sale this month, adds the perfect “pop” of color. I started off by running…
I’m sure we’ve all had someone lend a hand or offer to help out at just the perfect time, right? Like the neighbor that shows up just when you need them, or the friend who’s right by your side when life gets a bit tough. And sometimes you want to offer a little more than…
Hello friends! Summer, also known as my “brightly colored project” season, is almost here! I have another quilling idea for you today – but it’s a little trickier than my last post with quillwork. I didn’t want to add in too many flowers on this one since the central piece takes a bit more time…
Looking for a fun and easy way to decorate your planner? These super bright and graphic planner clips can be made in minutes and are a great way to personalize and embellish an otherwise boring appointment book! Choose some fun stamps with coordinating dies. Then, diecut and emboss (if needed) each shape from Neenah Classic…
Some days you just need to remember to breathe…. A special friend recently went through a difficult time, so I created this to remind her to just “breathe”. I started with Pop-Tone Cardstock in Razzleberry (my favorite), Cotton Candy, and Pink Lemonade. I stamped and die cut the Classic Roses from Heartfelt Creations. I inked the…
Oh nelly, today is the SECOND day of summer break at our house, and I’m in the “adjustment period” – the first week (or two!) of getting used to having the kiddos at home. It’s a bit stressful, so yesterday while the boys were at a short camp, I decided to do some watercolor painting…
We just got done with school for the summer. The end of the year is always crazy busy but we like to treat teachers to little treat during teacher appreciation week. This box is perfect for a few little pieces of candy. I really think the presentation is just as important as the little gift….
