Ellie Bouquet

 Hello there!

Today I'm sharing a DT project created for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

I have used an adorable digi called

Ellie Bouquet.

This cutie is appropriate for just about any occasion.

The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I created a background with a cut and emboss folder from Crafter's Companion. 

I inked the raised portion of the embossing with various inks.

The die cuts along both sides were done with ribbon threading from Crafter's Companion.

Instead of threading ribbon through I simply added some glitter dots.

I stamped the sentiment which is also from Crafter's Companion.

I hope you'll check out this digi bundle and all the digis available

Floating Strips Card

Hey there! I'm posting today with a new card project for CutCardStock!

So, I love perusing Pinterest and one day I came across a technique I had not seen before. It was cards created with “floating strips”. Have you seen or made these yourself? I really like the look of them and decided to give it a try. And, this is what I came up with!

Card Stock

I chose to use 3 colored card stocks in coordinating colors, Basis AQUA 80lb Cardstock, Pop Tone BERRYLICIOUS 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock, and Pop Tone SNO CONE 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock.  Basis WHITE 80lb 12 x 12 Cardstock will also be used.

Floating Strip Construction 

The floating strip piece is put together by cutting 1/4 inch strips of the colored card stock and adhering to a piece of clear acetate( I used transparency film).

I cut 16 strips and used double sided 1/4 inch tape to adhere to a 5 x 5 inch piece of acetate. The strips were spaced apart a small amount to let the acetate show in between.

Once your acetate piece is done, die cut into desired shape. I used a square approximately 4 1/4 inches.

Card Base

My card base was constructed with a 6 x 12 inch piece of Basis White Card Stock scored in half to form a 6 x 6 inch square card.

A piece of Aqua card was trimmed to 6 x 6 inches to cover the card front. I matted with a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch of white card stock.

The floating strip piece was centered onto the card front and adhered with foam squares.

Completing the Design

All that’s left to do is add little something on to the floating strip to finish.

I decided to go with a die cut sentiment, drum set and punched music notes. These were cut out of the Basis White Card Stock.

Die cuts and punched notes were adhered with wet glue. I actually ended up die cutting the sentiment and drum set 3 times. They were glued together to give a little more stability and dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my Floating Strips Card project and that I have provided some inspiration to try this technique. This is certainly something I will doing again!

As always, we would love for you to connect with us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and out new Facebook Group Creating with Card Stock.

SD Digital Stamp Club Mystery Gang

Hi there!

Today I am sharing my 2nd DT inspiration project using the "Mystery Gang"

from the Stampers Delights Digital Stamp Club.

I colored the digis with Prismacolor and Castle Arts Pencils. Each was fussy cut and added to a background I created by dry embossing a brick pattern and inking. I added a piece of patterned paper which I fussy cut part of. I added a couple of dark brown die cut circles. The sentiment was also die cut.

We'd love for you to check out all the clubs available for membership here.

There is always more inspiration over at the Stampers Delights Fan Group and we would love for you to share your Stampers Delights projects there as well.
