Happy Friday!

I have created 2 cards using a new digital stamp set released this month.





When you purchase this digital set you will receive a zip file containing:
- 3 black and white silhouettes
- 6 word images / sentiments

These are lovely silhouette images and 
are perfect for crafting for any occasion.


I die cut  a large circle and blended several inks for the background.
Then printed the digital over the background.
The sentiment was printed and die cut with an oval die.
I added some enamel dots.





For this second card, I simply printed the image on white card stock
and die cut with an oval die, matted with black card stock.
The layered oval was place on to a patterned paper.
I printed the sentiment, cut into a rectangle and matted.
I added enamel dots to finish.
A quick and easy card for all occasions!



I hope you'll check this set out along with all the other great products at

Inspirational Shadowbox

Hi there!
I'm excited to share a shadowbox project with you using 
beautiful card stocks from CutCardStock
I like to make these and think they make great gifts and/or additions to home decor. 
They are easy to customize and I love adding inspirational quotes.



This month glitter card stocks are on sale and there are lots of beautiful colors to choose from, 
so I am using a piece of SILK GLITTER PRINCESS PINK CARD STOCK 12X12 as my base 
and 1 piece cut to 9 inch square. I cut a piece of SILK GLITTER OPULENT OPAL 12X12 CARD STOCK to 10 1/2 inch square. I've also pulled out CURIOUS METALLIC BLANK 5X7 DISCOUNT CARD STOCK - 25 PK - OVERSTOCKS in Cryogen White
The floral border was fussy cut and trimmed to 8 1/2 inches from 
a patterned piece of 12 x 12 paper from my stash.

 trimmed to an 8 1/2 inch square. I used a Create-a-Card Die from Crafter's Companion and 
cut the upper left hand corner to create a frame effect.



The 5 x 7 Curious Metallic card I pulled out was adhered behind the die cut opening on 
the pink card stock. The pieces I cut and mentioned above were all layered together.

I wanted to add flowers to the layout, so did some die cutting and rolling using the glitter card stocks.

I pulled out a digital stamp image from Art Philosophy that I had colored up a couple months ago and fussy cut, chose a quote from a stamp set and coordinating die and some foliage dies. I used CURIOUS METALLIC BLANK 5X7 DISCOUNT CARD STOCK - 25 PK - OVERSTOCKSandPOP TONE GUM DROP GREEN 8.5X11 DISCOUNT CARD STOCK.

I started adding the above elements. 


I finished the project by adding some twine and inserting into a white 12 x 12 shadowbox.




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