Sympathy cards are some of the most difficult cards to create and send. When creating them, I usually go for soft, muted colors. Keeping them simple seems best. This week I created several sympathy cards to have on hand. The Curious Metallic Card Stock in either Gold Ice or Silver Ice worked great with the…
There are so many different ways to decorate Easter eggs. I think the pretttiest and most elegant is the embossed egg. I’ve actually never tried this in real life, but I’ve admired others’ handiwork. The raised images against a colored background on that perfectly shaped egg are so beautiful. I decided to try this on…
Winter is officially over, and I am SO ready for warmer weather, aren’t you? I know most of the country still needs a little thawing time before the blooms and bugs appear for the year, but here in Texas the bluebonnets and firewheels are already sprinkled over the open grassy spaces. That means the chill…
Hi there! It’s my great pleasure to share with you my first project as a CutCardStock designer! It has been a cold winter with a lot of snow here in the north east. Making floral cards really cheers me up and reminds me that the spring is just around the corner. For this card, I…
Since I tend to send Easter cards only to my younger nieces and nephews, I like to make them kinda different and fun. This card project is easy to pull together thanks to lots of die-cutting, a few simple techniques, and the gorgeous metallic cardstocks available in the CutCardStock store. Start by trimming a piece…
Happy Friday, friends! I’m glad you’ve stopped by today! I’m super excited to be sharing my first post as part of the CutCardStock Design Team. I typically don’t make many Sympathy Cards. I have a friend who recently lost her mother. I wanted to create a unique card for her. For my design this…

How about surprising someone with an Easter card? Or a “Just Because Spring” card? I love sending cards when no one expects them. Who doesn’t love getting happy mail?! The cards today are all about Easter and Spring. For most of them, I used the shimmery Curious Metallic Card Stock and it’s on sale this month. I started…
Are you ready for spring? I sure am. Here on the east coast, we are expecting a snow storm again, and all I can think about are flowers and warm weather. That was the inspiration for today’s projects. I am so excited to share my first post as new Design Team Member. I used Curious…
Shimmery elegance is how I would describe the Curious Metallic Cardstock on sale this month. I was drawn to the lovely Blue Print shade and wanted to try a simple look with some white heat embossing to really bring out that vibrant blue. When I create cards with little embellishment or plain stamping, I like to add another…
