My son’s second birthday was this month and tractors are his very favorite things in the world right now (we live in the country, and he loves to watch everyone in the neighborhood mow their lawn). September is the perfect time for a farm- and tractor-themed party, and I used CutCardStock products to create everything…
It’s time to be thinking about back to school and I’ve got a sweet way to let your kids teachers know how much you appreciate them throughout the year. Here’s a set of water colored note cards that can be used any time to share your appreciation. And they’re not just for teachers! Here’s a…
Good morning crafty friends. There’s nothing better than a hot cup of coffee other than a hot cup of coffee shared with a friend. Today’s card is all about both! Here’s a snapshot of the products I used today: I started by creating an A2 sized top folding card base using 110lb Neenah Classic Crest…
Have you noticed shiny bright silver showing up in lots of weddings this season? It’s one of the “in” colors, and fortunately for us all, CutCardStock has plenty of silver cardstock available. My card today is silver Stardreams Metallic, and trust me, it is D E L I C I O U S. Creating a…
Do you have a stash of cards already made? If so, well, good job you! You could probably have guessed that I (generally) do NOT.

To share with you today I have several stash busting, super simple, Stuff-Off-My-Desk cards featuring…
So. I have a confession to make. I am, in fact, a loser. You may remember the “All Aboard” book I was going to fill with tags and suchwhat. Well, I can’t find it. So, I made another: Those are cancelled stamps featuring lighthouses on the cover This one is the same in construction, with…
Most envelope art has to work within the parameters of including address and postage, but as I’m pretty sure I will be hand-delivering it, I may as well have fun with the envelope as well as the card. (You can see the tutorial for that here.) I started with a plain white envelope that would…

It’s finally spring, and we’re deep into Easter here at the CutCardStock blog. One of my favorite Easter projects is making Peeky Eggs–like the hollow sugar or chocolate eggs, only fewer calories. This one I’ve embellished with lots of Smoosh Roses, and since they were made with Curious Metallic Cardstock, they all have a pretty shimmer to them: Here’s…
Hello all, today’s project was “tweaked” a bit from a Pinterest project I saw where you make a bag/pouch or purse using an envelope. I do have to apologize because I didn’t save the pin but browsing around I found something similar here. The tweaking part comes in when instead snipping off one of the envelope sides,…

My daughter, Mary, has many friends and family who were eager to help supply a lot of the necessities required for first-time parents. So a shower was given to celebrate this new life in the making!

Hello and welcome to the CutCardStock Blog! It’s Gloria with you today. We are still in “love mode” on the blog. I have created a 7″ x 5″ Valentine card, with a gift card pocket and a matching envelope. One of the many card styles that I enjoy creating is something I call “rustic elegant.” For this card…
