My Polkadoodles inspiration project for this week is a pillow box treat holder with a tag. 

The pillow box was created with a punch board. 

I covered the pink box with a patterned paper from Pretty Spring Papers Printables.

 The same paper was applied to the tag.

 I used Bunny Rabbit with Spring Carrots Colour for the focal on the tag. 

The sentiment is from

 Easter Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments Printables.

I hope you'll join in! 

Let's Bounce Birthday Card

 It's my day to share some inspiration for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

With NCAA March Madness going on, I thought 

a basketball themed card would be appropriate.

And, I went with a shaker card design!

Using

Let's Bounce Stamps

All Occasion Flashcards

I started with stamping my images for my Let's Bounce Birthday Card and coloring with Prismacolor Pencils. Then I fussy cut!

My top fold card base measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. The background papers are my own creation! Inking one with various colored green and yellow inks and creating circles with round sponge blenders and finger daubers. The other using a star embossing folder with inking. Both background papers have green mats.

To make my shaker I die cut a green banner shaped frame and a piece of acetate. Adhere the acetate to the frame. Add foam tape. The sentiment is from the All Occasion Flashcards set. I die cut it with a banner die, adhered to the frame on 3 sides, added star shaker elements and closed the 4th side. The shaker was then adhere to the card.

I added the Let's Bounce and Champion sentiments and the gold cup to complete!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my Let's Bounce Birthday Card project! I had so much fun creating it!

Easter Memory-Dex Cards

 Hi there! I'm here today with my last Clear Scraps project for the month of March.

I have created a set of 3 Easter themed Memory-Dex Cards. 

Products used for this project are the Rounded Tab Chipboard Dividers and the Faith Chipboard Punchout Embellishments.

I started by tracing the 3 chipboard dividers onto the backside of white card stock and cutting out. These pieces were adhered to the dividers

3 of the chipboard punchout embellishments were painted with white acrylic paint.

I started the 1st card by inking the top with blue ink.

Grass and tulips were die cut. I die cut the tulips with green and pink card stock for piecing.

The grass die cuts and bunny punchout were adhered. I pieced the tulips together.

The tulips were added along with a Spring dimensional sticker from my stash.

For the 2nd card I stenciled clouds on the white card stock.

Green card stock was cut with hill and grass dies.

The hill and grass die cuts were adhered to the card. I inked the edges of the cross punchout and die cut flowers.

The cross and flowers were added. I printed a sentiment and die cut. Pearls were added.

The 3rd card was left white. Leaves were die cut and adhered. I also die cut a pink scalloped circle.

3 Easter eggs were die cut. I punched flowers.

I glued the “Happy Easter” punchout to the scalloped circle and added to the card.

The flowers were adhered to the left side. Eggs were added to the right side.

All 3 cards are complete.

Thanks for checking out my project!

I’ll be back with more projects next month! Until then be sure and check out more Clear Scraps inspiration by following on social media.

Angel Prayers Just for You

Happy Friday!

I'm posting today on behalf of

Conie Fong Art & Design!

My card was created with

Angel Prayers Bundle.

I used the version of this sweet angel with flowers.

The image was colored with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils.

I added a bit of glitter glue to the halo and wings.

As is my usual, I fussy cut.

The card background is a die cut and embossed panel.

I added foam tape to the back of this panel before

matting with a matte silver card stock.

This matted panel was adhered to a piece of lavender card which

covers the white A2, top folding card.

I popped the angel with foam tape onto the card.

The sentiment was die cut.

I glued it to a piece of darker purple card, fussy cut and

adhered with foam tape to complete my card.

Thanks for taking a look at my card project.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Thinking of You Card

I always try to have a "Thinking of You" card on hand. How about you? They are appropriate for many occasions or no occasion at all. It's nice to let someone know you are thinking of them for whatever reason.

HI! I'm here with my most recent inspiration project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I am using the new Birds of a Feather Stamps for my Thinking of You Card.

Emboss Resist

When I saw the feather stamp in this set I thought it would be perfect for the emboss resist technique.

Stamp the feather stamp from the stamp set several times with Versamark ink on white card stock. Heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

Blend 3 shades of blue ink over the embossed feathers. My blending was really easy to do with Dye Ink Blending Solution.

Cut the embossed panel down to 3 x 6 1/4 inches.

Card Base

Score a piece of 10 x 6 1/2 inch piece of white card stock at 5 inches along the 10 inch side and fold to form a 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base.

Cut gold glitter card stock to 5 x 6 1/2 inches to cover the front of the card base.

A piece of dark teal card stock is cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Mat the emboss resist panel with gold glitter card and added to the teal panel. Adhere a piece of ribbon to the left side. Add this piece to the card base.

Finishing

To complete I die cut the sentiment out of gold glitter card stock and adhered beneath the emboss resist panel. Adding a bow to the ribbon is the last step.

Thanks for taking a look at my Thinking of You Card project. I hope I have provided a little inspiration for you today!

Hoppy Easter Card

 Easter will be here soon and I have a cute “Hoppy Easter Card” to share. 

Hey there! It’s Judy here with my latest CutCardStock inspiration project. Do you make Easter cards? I always make a few each year. Doing so makes me look forward to spring and I am ready for spring!

Card Stock

This little card is fairly easy to put together. I am using a variety of card stock in spring colors and dies.

DCS Discount Card Stock: Blue Calico Discount Card Stock 

Pop Tone GRAPE JELLY Discount Card Stock

Lessebo Colors Premium AMETHYST Discount Cardstock

Lessebo Colors Premium Bubble Gum Pink Discount Cardstock

Basis Soft Pink Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Mantis Green Card Stock

Pop Tone BANANA SPLIT Discount Card Stock

Cougar White Smooth CardStock 

DCS Discount Card Stock: Black Card Stock

Die Cutting

All of the pieces of this card are die cuts. I am starting with the bunny. The dies I am using are from the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for February 2025, Dancing’ Hoppy Bunnies Everywhere.

Cougar White Smooth CardStock is for cutting the bunny’s body, legs and arms. Cutting Basis Soft Pink Card Stock for ears and cheeks and a small scrap of DCS Discount Card Stock: Black Card Stock for eyes and nose.

I am putting together a girl bunny, so I cut a dress and bow out of Lessebo Colors Premium AMETHYST Discount Cardstock.

Before assembling the bunny I am inking the edges of her body, arms and legs with gray ink. Adding the facial and ear pieces is next.

Piecing the rest of the bunny is next.

Die cutting some eggs is the next step using the same Spellbinders set above.

I am using DCS Discount Card Stock: Blue Calico Discount Card Stock , Pop Tone BANANA SPLIT Discount Card Stock and Lessebo Colors Premium Bubble Gum Pink Discount Cardstock.

Die cut the background pieces.

Pop Tone GRAPE JELLY Discount Card Stock and Pop Tone BANANA SPLIT Discount Card Stock create tiny flowers.

The sentiment is also cut from the Spellbinders set with DCS Discount Card Stock: Blue Calico Discount Card Stock.

I die cut clouds and a fence out of Cougar White Smooth CardStock with dies from Newtons Nook.

The grass die is from Newtons Nook as well. Cut it with the DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Mantis Green Card Stock.

Card Assembly

I am creating a. card base net with a 6 1/2 x 10 inch piece of DCS Discount Card Stock: Blue Calico Discount Card Stock. Score a 5 inches along the 10 inch side and fold.

Now that we have all of our die cuts and card base, let’s assemble.

We start with the cloud and 3 of the 4 grass die cuts.

Adhere 4th grass die cut and the fence next.

The cute little bunny goes on.

Eggs are next.

To complete, I add the sentiment and randomly add the flowers.

I am really happy with my cute “Hoppy Easter Card” and hope you like it!

Join us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the newly revamped Facebook Group Creating with CutCardStock for more inspiration.

Just had to pop in and share this card created with

You're My Pot of Gold Stamps

Pajama Crafter Stamps

 I stamped the beer mugs from the stamp set and colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

3 large shamrocks and 2 small ones were stamped with a variety of green inks.

I added a little glitter glue to them and the beer foam.

The papers used are from

Emerald Isle 6 x6 Paper Pad.

I cut one of the double sided papers in strips and alternated both sides

to create a striped background with solid green strips.

The mugs are popped onto layered die cuts.   

Sentiments were stamped, trimmed to strips and popped as well.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
