Holiday Wreath

Hi there! I'm on the CutCardStock Creative Blog today with a holiday wreath project created with die cuts using card stock from CutCardStock.

I like doing various crafts, and making wreaths are one of my favorites, especially for the holidays. With a variety of beautiful card stocks and dies, it's relatively easy to create a wreath or other home decor types.

I started with a styrofoam wreath form and some burlap ribbon.

I wrapped the ribbon around form and glued with a low temp glue gun.

I chose card stocks for my die cutting.

I used a variety of dies that I felt would work well for my wreath design and cut.

I wanted to add a little depth to the die cuts and did so by inking.

I layered the poinsettia die cuts and added them to the wreath using low temp glue.

Continued adding layers of the die cuts.

Last die cuts added and wreath is complete.

I hope I’ve inspired you with this project! If so, please leave a comment below, and we would love for you to connect with us on our Facebook Page.

I created some snow banks by hand cutting white card and

adding a little ink to the edges.

Cute As A Button Inspiration

Hello there!

I'm sharing a little inspiration today over on the

Cute As A Button Inspiration Showcase Blog!

I created a card inspired by the fall season using

Sweater Weather.

I colored with Copics, using browns and golds and fussy cut.

I popped the image onto a matted rectanglar panel.

The sentiment is die cut as is the circle behind it and the image panel.

I added some coordinating pearls.

A pretty quick and easy card design.

I hope you'll check this digi and all the 

other products available at

Thinking of You

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing a new card project created with dies from 

Dies R Us over on the

Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

I decided on a slimline design and made a white card base

measuring 4 x 9 inches.

The rest of my materials were all scraps I had laying on my craft desk.

I took a strip of metallic purple card stock and

adhered it to the left side of my white card.

Next I picked up a strip of white card stock and

die cut with a hexagon shaped die as shown in the photo below.

I layered the white strip over the purple strip on my card. I also

added another small piece of metallic purple card

toward the bottom right side and added

one of the whole die cuts and a half piece on top of that.

I decided to add some flowers and a sentiment and die cut,

again out of scraps that were right there on my desk!

I laid the pieces out on the card in what was a pleasing 

arrangement to me and adhered.
