Alcohol inks are a current obsession of mine. I spend hours playing around with what they can do on various papers and I decided to test it on the CutCardStock Stardream Metallic papers this time. I really love the result! I’m starting with the Aquamarine Stardream Metallic paper as a base card. You can buy…
You know what really makes me feel accomplished in the new year? Making a set of “go-to” cards I can use for the various events that come up throughout the year! Hi, it’s Maureen, and I’m sharing a project today that will get you caught up for those last minute celebrations or thank you card…

One of the “coolest” (pun intended) projects in paper crafting is the shaker elements that people add to their projects. Usually, in order to make a shaker, you need to buy a die-cut kit to do it. BUT…I’m going to show you a simple way to take an easy shape and turn it into a…

Sunflowers are a glorious flower, aren’t they? It’s a great celebration of both Summer and Fall. I have planted sunflowers in my backyard for the last several years, and they make me happy each time they get ready to bloom. This sunflower slimline card recreates the collision of seasons with a gingham-patterned card, using bright…
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…
