Wishes with Pickles Hedgehog

 Hi there!
Popping in before I take off to spend some time with my grandson!
I only get to go seem about every 2 weeks and it's not near enough.
Someday, I wish to be much closer to spend more time with him.
He's growing so fast!

Anyway, the real reason for being here is to share a card created with

I used the pre-colored version for my card.
This image is also available as B/W.
The image was printed on white card stock and trimmed  to a square shape.
I die cut a scalloped square to layer behind.
The patterned papers are from Christmas Paper Patterns 1 and
Christmas Paper Patterns 2.
The "wishes" sentiment is from Christmas Joy Digiscrap Download.
I added a bow and some pearls to embellish.

Check these cute hedgehogs out, if you haven't already.
They are great for almost any occasion!

Circle Punch Card

Oh, I’ve been perusing Pinterest again and saw some beautiful cards created with circle punches. 


Hey there! It’s Judy V here from Created Just 4 U with my first CutCardStock project for 2024. This circle punch card was so fun to play with and I love the way it turned out. If you have a lot of card stock and patterned paper scraps this is a great way to use them.



Materials

I pulled out some pretty patterned card stock and some solids to co-ordinate.

Pop Tone SNO CONE Discount Card Stock

Pop Tone PINK LEMONADE Discount Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Peach

Cougar White Smooth CardStock

Chalkboard Prints 6×6 Card Stock Pad Assortment

Bazzill Canvas Texture Monochromatic Peach 

Flower, Foliage and Sentiment Dies

1 Inch Circle Punch

Pearls

Adhesive



Card Base

My top folding, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card base was cut from Sno Cone. 


A piece of the Cougar White was cut to 4 x 5 1/4 inches.



Next I cut 32, 1 inch circles with a punch out of all the card stocks except the white. 




The circles are adhered to the white card piece starting at the bottom and going across the 4 inch width. A new layer goes on over the first by staggering over the first layer. 




Continue adding in this fashion until you have 8 layers done. 


Add a 1/2 x 4 inch piece of pink card stock over the top layer of circles.

Adhere the finished piece to the sno cone card base.


Floral and foliage pieces were die cut.



 I added some inking to the die cut pieces for a little dimension and added to the card.


The sentiment was die cut and adhered.


Pearls were added to finish.



Thanks so much for giving my project a look.


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.


Visit the CutCardStock Blog for more inspiration.

Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hello there!

Today I am excited to be posting for the first time 
as a new Design Team member for 

The project I'm sharing is a card
using Prickley Pear products


I started with a 5 x 6 1/2 inch light aqua colored card base.
A piece of white card was cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches.
The center of this white piece was embossed.

I stamped one of the oval stamps and one of the sentiments with black ink onto white card stock
The image was colored with alcohol markers and a few tiny jewels were added.
I die cut the stamped piece.
Three frames were created using the 2 nesting dies with aqua card stock.
The 3 frames were inter-twined and added to the embossed piece.
Ribbon was woven through the frames and adhered.
Lastly, the stamped piece was added.
