It’s Janet here and I am in the middle of a love affair for gingerbread tags for the holidays. I have been making them since August and I show no signs of stopping! Have you been obsessed by a certain topic or theme before? Today I’m sharing my latest Ginger tag or ornament (if desired)…
After not doing paper piecing much for the past few years, I have been doing a lot more lately and rediscovering my love of it. I find it very relaxing and it has the extra bonus of it turning into something great when it’s done! Any good paper piecing project must have quality cardstocks that…
Stencils are taking the stamping world by storm but I am drawn back to the idea that we have another option for beautiful patterns and colors. Background stamps! My project today is about dressing up white cardstock to add color and texture to simple shapes and designs. Background stamps seem kind of old school right…
So it’s already mid-May and in my area they are getting ready for graduations across the District. I thought it would be fun to pull out my Cricut Explore Air 2 and make a card using Basis Cardstock sold by CutCardStock. The Basis line works fantastically with my Cricut and Silhouette machines. It cuts clean…
As my girlfriends and I get older, I have come to appreciate the humor in our ever-larger birthdays. I suppose, like a lot of people, I like to say when people ask how old I am on my birthday that I’m 29 again. Yeah right! When I saw the stamp set called Never Too Old…
Would you like to make interactive cards but think they might be too hard? If so, I’ve got a great card for you today called the Slide and Stand card. Some people like to make their version of this without a lot of layers. I added plenty of dimension to my card and I promise…
I was watching Jennifer McGuire’s channel recently and she showed a technique called an Inside-Out Window Surprise card. It intrigued me because she chose to create a shaker with layers of cardstock instead of foam tape. The main feature is a clear shaker window that allows you to see from the front to the back…
Well, the holidays are over and it’s time to start thinking about the next big holiday. Yes, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. It’s a holiday where I dare say more cards are made by us cardmakers for men than virtually any other holiday and it can be a challenge. When I know who…
Hello CutCardStock fans! Do you dream of a white Christmas? I live in the Carolinas so snow for Christmas is highly unlikely but I was born and raised in the upper Midwest and know what I’m missing – the good, bad and ugly of snow! My project today highlights what I envision is the peace…
I’m so excited that November is finally here! Now I can unabashedly work on Christmas projects! Yay! This 5 x 7 shadow box card is a cut file from Lori Whitlock. It has 5 layers from front to back and the end result is very dimensional. I imported the file into Silhouette Studio. I didn’t…
I know I’m not alone in saying that shaker cards are a lot of fun to make and to give. Today I have a little different twist on that by making a shaker treat box! It’s something different and just the right size for a couple fun size candy treats or other small gifts. It’s…
Mix yourself up a ghoulishly fun Halloween card with CutCardStock and a few other supplies. This one has a few steps but is so totally worth it to get the look of a transparent glass complete with fizz, bubbles and a few bats to spare! Because this is hard to get a good photo of,…
