CutCardStock Day


I am back to Christmas cards -- getting done to the wire for mailing them out.

I scored on this 2 part layering cover plate garage sailing!  [I love when I find good products for this hobby].  I used the gorgeous Aqua Card Stock [80#], along with the Basis Blue Card Stock [80#] for the layers.

For some added shininess, I used the Non-Shedding Silver Glitter Card Stock for the sentiment and the inlay of the ornament.  Even though these aren't traditional Christmas colors, I am happy with this card.

See you next week with more CutCardStock products~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #271 - Snow

 
This is the type of snow I like - cards.
 
I am just addicted to using my moon stencil.  I absolutely love the end results with it.  I used some botanical silhouette stamps, and a beautiful font sentiment.
 
I used white acrylic paint for the "snow".  Yep, I'm happy with this card.

Just Us Girls Challenge #752 - Color Week

 
The perfect colors for yet another Christmas card for the ole stash! 

I made myself a new alcohol inked panel with a mix of blue inks and added some gold foiling.  I really love the end result with adding that foiling.

Using some gold mirror paper, I cut out the MC sentiment, and this mini slimline card was complete.  Yep, I am happy with it too.

Your turn!  Come on over to the JUGS #752 Challenge and show us how you use the colors.  So many possibilities!

The Male Room Challenge #192 - Kinetic Card


I'll be honest, I did have to look up what this meant; movement.

I'm still working on Christmas cards and remembered a spinning front panel card.  Perfect!

I used this super fun textured card stock; Bonsai Green from CutCardStock, for my colored base.  It's a lovely Christmas green.

After I hot foiled the geometric background [Pink Fresh Geo Blocks Hot Foil Plate], I used some Silver Glitter card stock for the framing, hanging snowflake, and sentiment.  Another card for my stash!

Your turn.  Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #192.  You have all month to join in.

2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop- Day 5


Only 1 card -- time isn't there to catch up.  That said, at least I got one card for the Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop today.
 
A basic card, but it will work for my x customer - turned friend.  They still go to Starbucks about 3 times a week.  This card will totally work.

The die sentiment is another goodie from Laura's Box. 😀
 
That's it for me today.  I still have lots to do [in my house], and have to get to it!  
Hope you had a great day~

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop - Day 2&3


Even though it is Day 4 over on the CLH Blog, these 2 cards are for my day 2 and 3.  I was crazy busy over the week end, and simply had no time to create.  I made up for it today.  Hopefully, I will get "caught up" tomorrow.

I used a hot foil plate from Laura's Box with some very shiny red foil.  I grabbed a retired coffee cup die, and crimped an actual Starbucks sleeve.  

The sentiment is also from Laura's Box. [Yep, I got some fun stuff in her box 😀].
 
 

While I was browsing Pinterest, I came across a fun graphic wall decor that inspired me to create it for a card.  (I do love me a good graphic card.)  The cup is from a free download that was offered 2 seasons ago with the CLH.  They come in so handy!

The fun sentiment is from STAMPlorations Coffee Happy.

I had fun today!  Off to do some more commenting....

CutCardStock Day


I am taking a break from Christmas cards and went with a pretty floral one for today's card.

I used the [very pretty] Pop Tone Grape Jelly card stock to make this A2 card.  I don't usually care for purple, but this card - yes please.


Sometimes, it pays to get out of your comfort zone!

I hope you liked this card today.  I did have fun making it~

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Hop - Day 1


It's that fun time of year!  Coffee Lovers Hop...yes please.

My JUGS teamie, Carol Mayne, had a card a couple of weeks ago, and I fell in love with Rupert!  Well, I am using him today!  I am also joining in over at the Color Hues Challenge #98; Red & Black.  I think he looks fun with these colors, especially drinking coffee 😀

He is a good size, so I put him on a mini slimline card base.  He totally makes me smile.

Are you playing in the Coffee Lovers Hop?  I hope to join in every day.  Off to leave some comments.

AAA Birthday Challenge #67 - Favorite Image

This is almost a tough challenge.  There are soooo many images I like. Since I use florals on most of my cards, I am going with those.
 
I started with a digi image, and then using different dies, layered them back on to the main image.  I do love this look.
 
I added a foliage die, along with a sentiment, and this pretty card is done.
 
Your turn!  Come on over to the AAA Birthday Challenge and play along.  
Can't wait to see what your favorite image is.
