Created Just 4 U: Special Friend Rocker Card

Hi there!

Today I'm over on the CutCardStock Creative Blog with a project perfect for that special friend in your life. It is a rocker card design using the Pop Tone line of card stocks from CutCard Stock. These card stocks are on special this month, come in a great variety of colors and die cut beautifully! Have you tried making rocker cards? They're really quite easy, fun and quick to put together.

For my project I used Pop Tone COTTON CANDY 8.5x11 Discount Card Stock, Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN 8.5x11 Discount Card Stock, DCS Discount Card Stock: Natural Twine Kraft Card Stock , a patterned paper from Recollections, 2 die sets from Crafter's Companion and ribbon.

A rocker card is made with a round base that is folded in half. I used scalloped circle dies in 2 sizes. The larger circle is used to cut the kraft card stock, as it is quite sturdy and perfect for the base. The smaller circle die was used to cut 2 pieces from the patterned paper and the kraft card. I did this as the patterned paper is quite thin and I needed the piece The smaller die was also used with the decorative dies in the set to cut the green card stock. I pieced out the bird cage and bird with the pink and kraft card stocks. The sentiment is cut using the pink and green card stocks.
