Christmas Boy Elves

Hello there!

How's it going for you all?

I'm dong well and enjoying my crafting time!

Today I have a new card to share for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

It was created using a new digi called

Christmas Boy Elves.

I love these little guys!

They are so cute and available as this group or individually.

I colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils.

The background was created with dark green,

dark red, white and gold glitter card stocks.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and 

heat embossed with a gold embossing powder.

I added a holly leaf die cut which was cut with an old Sizzix sizzlits die.

I hope you'll join us over on Facebook at

Conie Fong Art & Design Group.

You'll find lots of inspiration there and we welcome you to share your

creations using Conie Fong products!

Morgan's ArtWorld October Challenge

It's October 1st!

Can you believe that?

Another year almost gone by and 

I can't figure out where it went! 

The 1st always brings on a new challenge at

Morgan's ArtWorld.

That's what I'm doing here today,

sharing my DT card using

 Kate Cameo 1.

This beautiful digi was colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils.

I fussy cut before adding to a frame cut from a patterned paper pad 

from Recollections. Another pattern paper was added behind the frame.

Embossed and die cut pieces were added to 

the top corners and along the bottom of the card. 

The embossing die is from Crafter's Companion.

I die cut the sentiment with dies from Tutti Designs.

It was backed with white card stock and fussy cut around the edges.

Won't you join us this month?

The challenge is always

ANYTHING GOES.

Halloween Pumpkin Card

It's Saturday and that always brings on a new

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge!

This challenge theme is

ANYTHING GOES

 I've created a pumpkin shaped card for my DT project this week.

Patterned paper was printed from 

Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers,

die cut into 1 oval and 2 circles cut in half and glued together for my base.

I inked the edges of the oval and circle die cuts.

The focal image is Witch Cauldron Halloween Gnome.

I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

A few die cuts were added and the sentiment was printed

from Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Greetings.

I hope to see your creations in the gallery this week!

Hello there!

adding to a simple white background.

The sentiment was printed directly on the white card stock and 

is from the Boo Halloween Sentiment Bundle.

Pumpkin Emily

Happy Friday!

Hey, have you seen the newest digi from

Conie Fong Art & Design?

This is Pumpkin Emily  and she sure is a cutie, don't you think?

The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I popped her with foam tape onto a black background.

I added some dots of silver metallic marker on the black to give a "star" appearance.

The tree silhouette was die cut.

The "Happy Halloween" sign is a die cut from my stash.

I added 3 glitter dots to the lower right corner.

I hope you'll join us over on Facebook at

Conie Fong Art & Design Group.

You'll find lots of inspiration there and we welcome you to share your

creations using Conie Fong products!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Stack of Jacks

Happy Thursday!

Today I am sharing 2 cards created for

Beccy's Place!

They were created with one of this month's new digital stamp sets.

Stack of Jacks 

When you purchase this digital set, you will receive a zip file containing:
- 3 black and white line drawings
- 3 full colour images
- 5 word images / sentiments

I colored the images on both cards with Prismacolor Pencils.

They were fussy cut and added to backgrounds of patterned paper from Recollections. 

The sentiments on both cards are included in the set.

They were printed on white card stock and added.

Pretty simple designs, but i didn't think anything else needed to be added.

These pumpkins are fabulous  on their own!

Check out these fun digis and all the other products available in store!

And there is always plenty of inspiration and a challenge found at the

Beccy's Place Blog!

Fall Door Decor

Fall is in the air, don’t you think? And, I love the fall season! The cooler weather, leaves changing and pumpkin spice are all so nice.

Hey there! Today I'm here with a fall door decor project created for CutCardStock. You can be sure to find a wide variety of card stocks in lovely fall colors there that are perfect for all your crafting.

My project was started by choosing some brown and orange card stocks, which are on sale this month.

DCS Discount Card Stock: Textured Flame Tree Orange Card Stock

Pop Tone HOT FUDGE 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

Pop Tone ORANGE FIZZ 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

KRAFT CHIPBOARD .022 for all your crafting needs – 25 pack

I created 4 rosettes with 4 layers and die cut letters spelling fall, which were added to a length of burlap ribbon.

Create the larger rosettes for the bases of each by cutting 3 strips of card stock measuring 3 x 11 inches. I punched a border on each strip, but they can be left plain if desired.

Each strip was scored every 1/2 inch and accordion folded. I used double sided red line tape to adhere 3 strips together to form a circle. Squeeze the inside edge of the circles together and hot glue 1 1/2 inch die cut circles to the center top and bottom of each piece. My rosettes measure approximately 5 1/2 inches.

I die cut 4 pieces of the Kraft Chipboard with a scallop die measuring 4 inches.

4 more rosettes are made by cutting 3 strips of 8 1/2 inch x 1 1/2 inch strips of card stock. These are put together the same as the larger ones. I used 1 inch die cut circles to secure the centers.

Banner shapes were die cut for each rosette. Letters spelling “FALL” were die cut out of a scrap piece of  Royal Sundance FELT Brilliant White 8.5×11 Card Stock.

With all my components complete, I’m ready to assemble.

Each rosette piece was layered and hot glued together as seen in the photo below.

The burlap ribbon was cut approximately 28 inches. I folded the top over to form a loop and ran a piece of wire through to act as a hanger. Hot glue the rosettes down the length of ribbon, spacing evenly.

Thanks for taking a look at my project. I hope I’ve inspired you to try a fall project.

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.
