CutCardStock Day


Since it's July, I'm going with 'Christmas in July' for today's card.  Crazy to me that I am already starting my 2025 Christmas stash!

I will say though, I am loving my start!  I used the following colors for this card;

Habenaro Red

Hunter Green

Mirri Sparkle Glitter Red

Vellum

I am in love with this bright, slightly textured red!

I'll be back next Saturday with another CutCardStock Christmas card~

Just Us Girls Challenge #784 - Mood Board Week

 
This is a fun mood board!  I instantly went to some Elizabeth Craft Design products, cut them out. After laying the cuts on an inked card panel, I used some Press & Seal, added glue, and my background was set!  This was a fast card to make :)
 

Yep, I'm happy with this inspired card!


 
Okay, your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #784 and show us how the mood board inspires you!

CutCardStock Day


For my card today, I did a monochrome.  I LOVED this color, Vista Stardream Metallic [Blue], and wanted to totally show it off!
 
Isn't this such a pretty color!  I loved it so much, I ordered 2!  It embossed beautifully also.  


On this photo, you can [some what]see the beautiful sheen this card stock has too.  I also used a small piece of the Textured Wedding  Cake.  They have such a great selection of  Metallic Colors.  I just adore how pretty my cards turn out.

See you next Saturday~

Addicted to CAS #287 - Christmas

 
 It's Christmas in July!  I have no problem getting started on this season's cards!

I used some CCS papers for this card; Wild Blueberry, Flash Red Glitter and Bright Foil Gold.  I attempted some gold foiling with a pre-printed label from GKD.  It looks much better IRL - photographing foil is awful!

First one of the Season!  Many to go~. Adding this to CAS on Friday #313; Christmas in July.
Your turn!  Join in the challenge over at ATCAS #287, and get your stash started.

Just Us Girls Challenge #783 -Word Week

I'm the Hostess for this week's challenge.  I love me some water during the Summer!
 
Rather then literally creating water, I went with a more obscure look;

I used a stencil for my "river rock" effect with embossing.  I inked over the panel to highlight the "rocks".

I cut out the shell, highlighting for some depth, and then added a sentiment with the word water.  So, overall, this card does remind me of a creek bed, but the word water also works for the challenge. 😉

 Your turn!  There are so many ways to incorporate this word of the week.  I'm looking forward to seeing the gallery!  
 
I hope you join in the fun~
