CutCardStock Day

Well, Autumn is officially here and that means, all the pretty colors start showing up!

I figured I would start here on my blog since my town doesn't get all the pretty colors.  I used the Memory Box Evergreen Tree Stand, and also a die from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Forest Friends and Frame set.

I used the following colors to create this card; Classic Crest 130# for the card base, Astrobright Black, Dolphine Gray, Astrobright Solar Yellow, and Textured Adobo Orange for everything else.

Again, this reminds me of our Yellowstone trip!

See you next week~

Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying designing for this company? [Yes, yes I have, I know 😉] I love the card stock they carry, and their prices are just amazing!

For my card today I used the following card stocks: Textured Humming Bird Teal for the card base, Textured Caribbean Blue, Red Pepper, Textured Scottish Highlands Green, and lastly, Solar Yellow.

I just adore the texture on these papers!  I scored a few lines on the left of the card base, adhered a doily die cut, added a Spellbinders floral image, and grabbed a foiled sentiment from my stash to finish off my card.

Yep, I'm happy!

See you next month~

Today I am using 1 color - Textured Poodle Skirt.  It's a lovely pink.

With the exception of my scored lines, you can also see the texture.  I love that feature of this card stock.

This was a pretty quick card actually.  That said, it still packs a punch!

See you next week~

Today I used very happy colors.  This card brings smiles [IMO].

For this card I used [new to me] 100% Cotton White card stock for my base, panel, and the flower stems. This is a nice thick cardstock! For the flowers I used Classic Crest White 130#, Raspberry Ice Pink, Poodle Skirt Pink, Salt Water Blue, Indio Blue and Basis Aqua.

I'm thinking the recipient will be happy with this card.

See you next Saturday~

Whenever I go blank to create a card, geometric is my go to.  It gives a great sample of using different colors carried by CCS, along with a fun end result.

I started with Patriotic Blue for the card base and embossed panel.  I cut the triangles using Vista Stardream Metallic, Textured Yellow Ducky, and Textured Adobo Orange, and placed them semi randomly across the panel.

Lastly, I white embossed a sentiment, and this puppy is done.  Yep, I'm happy.

See you next Saturday~

I am not sure why I am making Christmas cards, however, my stash is growing, so there is that.

Plus, I did get a beautiful new color in from CCS - Coral. [It's like a light peach color.] Whoa it's also the metallic shimmer line, and it is very pretty!  It also worked beautifully for a Christmas card.

There is a lot going on with this card; embossing, framed arch, vellum window with stamping behind it, lots of floral die cutting and layering.  Yep, this is a one-of-a-kind card.  I think it took me over an hour to create it!  Mass producing - not so much with this style of card.

I used the following card stocks; Thick Blank Lynx A2 Pre-Folded 120# Card Base, Metallic Coral, Canvas Textured Habanero Red, Translucent Clear [Vellum], Granny Smith Apple Green, and Gum Drop Green.  I am also going to be using the Red Envelopes for mailing, and the Return Address Labels.  CCS doesn't just carry card stock!

I received a pretty new color of cardstock in; Stardream Metallic Coral!  It's so pretty I  made a monotone card to showoff the color.

I matched the paper to the beautiful center image [STAMPlorations Ephemera], and simply just framed it! This layout works to focus on the beautiful paper, and the pretty image. 

I added an appropriate sentiment, and this lovely card is complete.

See you next week~

It's time for another CCS card!

Today I went a little different by creating a mixed media style using the card stocks.

I used the following colors:  Brilliant White, Textured Adobo, Basis Blue, Aqua, Natural Twine, and Black.  I ripped some pieces of card stock and adhered onto a seperate panel. I used some modeling paste and added some stenciling, and lastly, I tapped on some splatter.

Once that dried, I adhered on the Crow [STAMPlorations Purched Bird], and added on a cut up sentiment strip.  Yep, I can say, I am very happy with this end result.

See you next week~

See you next week~

Yep, kinda happy with this end result!

It's Saturday - time for my CCS day.

I used the following colors of CCS card stocks; #130 Heavy White for the card base, Textured Blue Calico, Canvas Textured Caribbean Blue, and Light Teal.  I started by inking up an embossed panel, and while searching for flowers, came across this Better Press Flower that was in my stash.  I really like the look of a simple black & white image with a colored background, so this worked perfectly.

Yes, I am very happy with this card!

See you next Saturday~
