Best Friend

Hello there and Happy Saturday!

It's time for the next

Gem of a Challenge!

This challenge is sponsored by Polkadoodles.

My DT card was created with

Happy Cactus Succulent Big Bundle.

I used 2 of the pre-colored digis, one of the papers and sentiments.

The white square and flower were die cut. I added a little bit of twine.

 The pre-colored digis are great for pretty quick card making.

This bundle has everything you need to create for any occasion.

Just Be You

Hello there!

Today is my day to share my inspiration project for

Cute As A Button.

 I have created a slimline card using

I Will Make You Fishers of Men

I like that this digi set has several images that can be used

individually or in combination.

I colored the digi I used with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

My background was done with cloud and grass stencils from newton's Nook.

The sentiment was die cut using 2 different dies that I combined.

Tropical Layout

So, I was looking for a particular photo recently and surprise, surprise, couldn’t find it! It was one I’ve been wanting to do a scrapbook page with. I have a lot of those. Please tell me I’m not the only one? But, I did come across another one that I had totally forgot I had and thought it would be great for a tropical themed layout project. And, of course, I have some lovely card stock from CutCardStock that will work great!

For this project i am using: DCS Discount Card Stock: Aqua Card Stock, Basis 8.5×11 GOLD 80lb Cardstock, MirriSparkle Gold Glitter 16 pt 8.5×11 Card Stock.

The patterned paper is digital from Design Lover Studio and was printed on Classic Crest NATURAL WHITE 8.5×11 CardStock.

The Aqua is used for the base. I matted the Mirrisparkle Gold Glitter with the Basis Gold.

My flower embellishments were all fussy cut from the patterned papers. I die cut my title with Sizzix dies and cut a few strips of card stock to use.

The large flower piece above was cut from the piece used below, not to waste! And my photo fits over it perfectly.

I added one of the patterned papers to the base along with a strip of the Aqua card stock. My photo was matted with Basis Gold. Another strip of Aqua place beneath.

Title pieces and the large flower embellishment were added.

I finished by adding 2 overlapping strips of patterned paper, a very narrow strip of Mirrisparkle Gold and 5 fussy cut flower as a border along the bottom. Glitter dots were added to the flowers for a little extra sparkle!

I hope you have enjoyed checking out my layout. Don’t forget to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page.

Digi Doodle Studios!

The DT was asked to create projects using a theme of

Lace and/or Ribbon.

I am using the Angel Doves digi which I colored with pencils.

A little ink was added to the background.

Grow Positive Thoughts

Happy Friday! 

I hope you all are doing well.

We are just trying to stay cool here in Colorado.

I has been really hot and I know I'm not the only one experiencing hot weather.

 The hot makes me think of cactus, how about you?

So, I have a card to share that was created with the new

Happy Cactus Collection from Polkadoodles.

This is an all digital collection with everything you need for all kinds of crafting.

My card uses 3 of the cacti digis, 2 papers and one of the sentiments.

I colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

The background was created by matting 2  papers in different size rectangles.

I printed the sentiment and trimmed to a strip.

The images and sentiment were adhered with foam tape.

I finished up with 3 glitter dots.

I hope you check this collection out!

It's great for any occasion.

Altered Notebook

Hey there! Today I'm sharing an altered notebook project created with some beautiful card stocks from CutCardStock. 

An altered notebook makes a great gift for someone who loves to journal. You can create one with any theme and colors that fit the personality of the gift recipient.

Start with an inexpensive composition book and a focal. This composition book measures 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches.

I found the composition book at WalMart for $0.50. My focal image is from Lana Green Art and is called Daisy Daisy. I colored her with Castle Arts Soft Touch and PastelTint Pencils before fussy cutting.

The front and back covers of the notebook are covered with Stardream Metallic GOLD 105 lb Cardstock. I adhered, butting the card stock up against the black binding, with strong double sided tape.

To enhance my colored image I chose a Create-A-Card die from Crafter’s Companion and cut from the Stardream Metallic GOLD 105 lb Cardstock.

Using a Penny Black daisy stamp, I stamped 3 times on Classic Crest Natural White 8.5×11 CardStock. The images were colored with Castle Arts PastelTint Pencils and fussy cut.

I cut a piece of Pop Tone TANGY ORANGE 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock 9 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. The top and bottom edges were die cut with a Crafter’s Companion border die.

I decided to use a “believe” title and cut with a Crafter’s Companion word die from Stardream Metallic GOLD 105 lb Cardstock.

With all the components die cut, stamped, colored and fussy cut, it is time to add to the front cover.

I adhered the Tangy Orange piece first to the center. A piece of the Classic Crest Natural card was cut to 5 3/4 x 6 3/4 and layered on top of the orange piece.

The gold create-a-card die cut piece was added next with the focal image. I adhered the “believe” die cut to the bottom.

To finish I added a strip of gold card stock between the bottom edge of natural card and the “believe” die cut. My fussy cut daisies were adhered and pink pearls added to embellish.

I hope you have enjoyed my project! We would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page.
