Vellum Flowers Card

Hey there! Today I'm sharing another card project for CutCardStock using vellum.

This card features vellum flowers that were die cut and inked.

Card Base

I started by making a 5 1/2 inch square card by taking a 5 1/2 x 11 inch piece of Stardream Metallic KUNZITE Card Stock, scoring at 5 1/2 inches along the 11 inch side and folding. 

A piece of  Silk Glitter Prosperous Purple Card stock was cut to 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.

Die Cutting and Inking

Next I die cut a frame using the Stardream Metallic KUNZITE Card Stock.  Basis WHITE Discount Cardstock was used to cut some various foliage. Flowers were cut out of CTI Glama Natural Translucent (Vellum) CLEAR 48lb Cover Card Stock.

I added color to the flowers and layered for some dimension.

Adding Die Cuts

The frame was adhered to the card base. Four pieces were added to the corners. Flowers were arranged and adhered with hot glue. Foliage and a sentiment were added to complete.

Thanks for taking a look at my vellum flowers card project. I hope I’ve given you a little inspiration to try some new techniques with vellum.

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.

Back to School at Polkadoodles

Hi there! 

It's Saturday and that means it's time for a new

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

The theme for this challenge is always

Anything Goes.

The design team, however, was asked to create with a theme of

Back to School.

I always loved this time of year when growing up!

How about you?

New clothes, shoes, school supplies and getting to see 

the friends you did not spend time with over the summer.

For my "school" themed DT card

I have used the Wanda Working Study Phone Printable as my focal image.

She was colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils and fussy cut.

Part of the sentiment was stamped with the Funky Alphabet A5 Stamp Set. I also 

 stamped borders and numbers from the same set.

The other part of the sentiment was printed using 

Wanda Printable Messages and Quotes.

I added a strip of patterned paper behind Wanda from the

Wanda Printable Paper Set 3.

Won't you join us this week?

We'd love to see what you create!

Stamping, Embossing and Coloring on Vellum

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a card project I created for CutCardStock stamping, embossing and coloring on vellum.

I love vellum! How about you? There are so many ways you can incorporate it in your projects and the product that CutCardStock carries is fabulous! It is nice and thick and I had no problem using the heat gun for the embossing.

Materials

Curious Translucent CLEAR 65lb Cover Weight 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

Basis WHITE 80lb Cardstock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Pearlized Textured Fruit Punch Pink

DCS Gold GLITTER Heavyweight 12×12 Discount Card Stock

Floral Stamp, Sentiment Stamp

VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad, Pink Metallic Stamp Pad

Gold Embossing Powder

Permanent Markers

Frame Dies

Double Sided Tape Adhesive, Foam Tape, Pearls

Vellum Panel

A piece of vellum was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. I stamped the floral image in the center with VersaMark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

The floral image was colored on the backside of the vellum.

I die cut a frame for the vellum panel by taping 2 dies together and making one cut out of gold glitter card stock.

The frame was adhered to the vellum with double sided tape and trimmed around the edge of the frame.

Card Base

Cut a piece of basis white card stock to 10 x 6 1/2 inches, score a 5 inches along the 10 inch side and fold in half. This forms a 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base. The front of the card is covered with a piece of 5 x 6 1/2 pink card stock.

Another piece of basis white card was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inch and adhered to center of card base.

Finishing the Design

My framed vellum piece is adhered to the card center with foam tape.

A sentiment was stamped, die cut and adhered with foam tape.

Pearls completed the design.

I hope I’ve provided a little inspiration for you to give stamping, embossing and coloring on vellum a try.

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.

Polkadoodles Sweets Theme

I have used 2 digis from the Coffee, Tea and Cake.
