Molly's Winter Friends

Happy Saturday!

I've made another card for "Christmas in July" for

This one was created with Molly's Winter Friends

out of white glitter paper. The patterned paper in the background is

I added glitter dots from Dollar Tree for a little embellishment.

Fence Card

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a summery designed fence card project for CutCardStock. Have you seen these? I just discovered them on Pinterest and thought I’d give one a try.



Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock – Calico Blue (on special this month)

DCS Shimmery Textured Wedding Cake White Card Stock (on special this month)

Cougar White Smooth CardStock (on special this month)

Pop Tone Gum Drop Green Card Stock

Card Base

Create the card base by cutting a piece of blue card stock to 4 1/4 x 8 inches. Score at 5 1/2 inches along 8 inch side.

Cut 1 piece of Wedding Cake White card stock to 4 x 2 14 inches, 4 pieces to 1/2 x 4 inches and 2 pieces 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches.



Construct the Fence

Place a piece of tape, washi tape or sticky note on the center, backside of the larger white piece straight down. This will help position the 4 fence railings. You’ll want the length of the top of the larger piece down to the bottom of the bottom railing to measure somewhere between 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 inches. I used a grid to help. Line the edges of the railings up with the outer edges of the top piece. I spaced each railing about a 1/4 inch apart. The other 2 3 3/4 inch pieces are lined up and glued just inside the outer edges to act as pence posts. My measurements are probably different than other tutorials you see, as I wanted a blue edge around my card.



I adhered this piece to the card base.

Embellishments

Die cutting was done using the Cougar White and Gum Drop card stock.



I added a little color to the white die cuts and also die cut a sentiment from the calico blue card stock.


Finishing

The greenery was added to the card base.


Flowers were added next.


Sentiment and the bee were added to complete.


Thanks for taking a look at my fence card project. I hope I’ve inspired you to try one, if you haven’t already.

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.

Stamping, Embossing and Perfect Pearls

Do you have supplies you’ve had for a while but have yet to use? Hey there, today I’m sharing a card project created for CutCardStock. And, I must confess, I used some supplies I’ve had for quite a while and have not used until now, Perfect Pearls.

There are many ways to use Perfect Pearls and I chose to use them as a watercolor on a black background. The shimmer created with this medium is really pretty.



Materials

DCS Discount Card Stock: Black Card Stock

Basis WHITE 80lb Cardstock

3 clear stamp sets from Crafter’s Companion: “Enchanted Forest Fairy Wishes”, “Fairy Door’ and “Sparkle Garden”

Versamark Watermark Ink

3 Embossing Powders: White and clear from Crafter’s Companion and Lilac Pastel from Stampendous

Perfect Pearls: Forever Green, Forever Violet and Forever Blue

Stamping and Embossing

I started by trimming a piece of black card stock to 4 1/2 x 6 inches.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.

A flower image was stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder and I stamped a fairy and embossed with lilac embossing powder.

The flowers and fairy wings were colored with Perfect Pearls using a water brush to apply.





Perfect Pearls

The flowers and fairy wings were colored with Perfect Pearls using a water brush to apply.


Here’s a little closer look at the shimmer of the Perfect Pearls.


Assembling the Card

A 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base with top fold was created by trimming a piece of black card stock to 10 x 6 1/2 inches, scoring at 5 inches along the 10 inch side and folding in half.

I cut a piece of white card stock to 4 7/8 x 6 3/8 inches. The stamped, embossed and colored piece was trimmed to 4 1/2 x 6 inches. both these pieces were centered and adhered onto the black card base.

I hope you have enjoyed my project and provided a little inspiration!

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock for more inspiration.
