Thank You

Happy Friday!

I though I would pop in today and share one last project created this month for

Conie Fong Art & Design!

I have used one of the images from

Molly's Basket of Love .

I colored this sweet girl with Prismacolor Pencils ad fussy cut.

My card base was created with a cut and emboss die set from Crafter's Companion.

I cut a piece of patterned paper left from another project for the card center.

The flowers and leaves were die cut from the same set as the card base.

I did a little inking on the card embossed areas and on the flowers.

Molly is popped onto the card with foam tape.

Glitter dots were added to the flower centers to complete.

Join us over on Facebook at

Baby Boy Scrapbook Layout

Hey there! It’s Judy V here with a cute baby boy scrapbook layout project created for CutCardStock. I’m a new grandma and have a feeling I’ll be creating lots of scrapbook pages in the coming years.

I’ve used a dinosaur theme which I think is perfect for little boys. The products I used are from a dinosaur digital clip art set found on Etsy at JoKavanaghDesigns. This set also includes 4 patterned paper designs.

Card Stock

DCS Discount Bonsai Green Canvas Texture (12 x 12 used but not available, alternative Scottish Highlands Green 12 x 12) for base and matting

Basis WHITE 80lb Cardstock 12 x 12

Cougar White Smooth CardStock 8.5×11 – I printed the patterned paper, my photo and dinos, trees and grass clip art on this.

Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock used to print bone clip art to form title.

Background

The 12 x 12 inch piece of Basis White Card was trimmed to 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. 

Clouds were created with ink from Crafter’s Companion and a cloud stencil from Newton’s Nook.

A border simulating hills was done by hand cutting the patterned papers and piecing together.

Preparing Elements

The clip art was printed and fussy cut. 

I matted the photo and a piece of patterned paper. Bone clip art was printed,

fussy cut and pieced together to form name.

Putting it all together

And, we’re done!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project! Maybe you have some photos that have been sitting around and have been inspired to put them to page.

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.

Steampunk Girl Lucy

Hi there!

I love to color so today I thought I would share

colorings I did of a favorite coloring page from

Julia Spiri.

When you purchase digital images/coloring pages from her

YOU WILL RECEIVE

Instant Download, high resolution 300 dpi, size A4.

1 PDF with 3 images: 

- Grayscale dark

- Grayscale light

- Sepia tone

 

I have used "Lucy" (steampunk girl) and colored all 3 versions

using the same pencil colors on all.

I wanted to see if there is a big difference in

the way the coloring would appear with the change in the base.

Grayscale images are favorites of mine.

I've always preferred dark grayscale to light and I have never

colored a sepia toned image before now.

Castle Arts Soft Touch, Pasteltint and Metallic Pencils were used.

The first photo are the finished images.

I took photos along the way just to see how they progressed.

So, there are some differences, mostly with the lighter colors used,

which makes sense.

And although I had never done a sepia tone coloring before,

I do like the way this one turned out and may have to do more.

Choosing which version to use will have to depend on the colors used

and the particular "look" you're going for.

Julia Spiri I have a coupon code you can use for 10% off

Butterfly Princess

 Happy Friday!

Doing a quick post this morning to share one of my DT cards for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

We featured Fairy projects earlier this month, so

I thought would continue that theme.

This card was created using

Butterfly Princess.

The sweet little fairy was colored with Castle Arts Pasteltints Pencils.

A little glitter glue was added to her wings.

She is popped onto an inked background that has a

die cut border created with a Create-A-Card die from Crafter's Companion.

The butterflies on the border were inked.

Pearls were added.

I stamped the sentiment with a stamp set from Crafter's Companion.

Julia Spiri's Adeline

Hello there!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying summertime so far!

Today I'm sharing some coloring and a card I've done for

Julia Spiri.

I chose to use a beautiful grayscale coloring page called

Adeline.

When purchasing this page you will receive

Instant Download, 3 JREG, high resolution 300 dpi, A4:
- Grayscale dark
- Grayscale light
- Sepia tone

I colored the grayscale dark image with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils.

My card was created with fussy cutting the image and

popping it with foam rape onto the background.

The background was cut into with the Gemini Rose Garden Create-A-Card die.

The card stock used is a white metallic card from CutCardStock. 

It is backed with  a red card stock also from CutCardStock.

The sentiment was die cut using a die from the Gemini Everyday Sentimentals 1 die set.

I added ribbon, a bow and some red pearls to embellish.

a strip of colored card stock. The coffee beans were printed and fussy cut.

I added 3 pearls for embellishment.

I colored the digis for this card with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.

Coordinating Card and Envelope

Do you decorate your envelopes to coordinate with your handmade cards?

Hey there! Today I’m sharing a coordinated card and envelope project I created for CutCardStock.

I have to admit I don't usually decorate my envelopes. But, it does add something special to a plain envelope. And, there are many different ways to dress up your envelopes. Mine here was done with stamping, but you can also stencil or dry emboss.

Stamping

I started by stamping with 2 stamps that work well together. The violin and sentiment are stamped on a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Cougar White Smooth Card Stock. A Leader Opaque 5 1/2 Bar Envelope was stamped with the rose/music staff stamp. I used a Black Noir Finesse Ink Pad from Crafter’s Companion.

Coloring

Both images were colored with Castle Arts Pencils.

Envelope Liner

I decided to add an envelope liner using a piece of pretty patterned paper from my scraps.

The liner piece was trimmed to 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. This will leave the gummed area of the envelope flap uncovered.

Slip the liner into the envelope and fold down the flap to create a crease on the liner paper. I marked the center of the top of the liner and trimmed from that point down to the crease on the outside edges.

Place the liner in the envelope and adhere the top to the flap.

Card

Using Basis RED 80lb Card Stock, I cut a 4 1/2 x 11 inch piece and scored at 5 1/2 inches to create a top folding A2 card base. The violin piece was centered and adhered to the base.

I decided to stamp the outside of the envelope flap with another stamp.

The card fits nicely inside the envelope.

I'm loving the way this turned out and think I will have to start adding something a little extra to my plain envelopes more often.

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.
