I love Mew kitty cards | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone, how ya doing?? Maybe saw my previous post? Lol Well I wanted to pop on this morning and share a 2nd project, but this one is for the Cut Cardstock design team.

I made these two cat/love theme cards and I really tried to use everything, even if I just cut something out of it or scraps. So, starting, I used a piece of white cardstock, ran it through my sizzix with a hear die. I decided I wanted to use the part that would be the full card front. I pulled out my bin that I keep all my cut Cardstock off cuts, I realized I had a bit of each color, so I decided to make the heart be a rainbow. I love rainbow pretty much anything, so how could I not? Lol I got the cardstock in the order I wanted them, Grape Jelly, Hydrangea Purple, Aqua, Surf, Galax, Light Yellow, Wild Salmon, Shimmer Fruit Punch and Pink Tutu. I adhered them all from the back, flipped it over and grabbed my kitties I had stamped and colored previously. I played with them till I decided on one of the cute little kitties. I added some adhesive foam to the back of it and stuck it down. I pulled out my I knead you stamp set from My favorite things and stamped my sentiment, added my outlining to it and then to the rest of the card, popped a little mouse on top of my sentiment and call this one done. But I wanted to use the heart that was left over, so I started another card.

I added a little removable adhesive to the back of the heart and stickit down onto a scrap piece of paper, place my stencil over the top where I wanted it, used some washi to keep it where I wanted and started to blend my blues out. I grabbed another piece of white cardstock that I ran through my sizzix in a small, dotted embosser, I added some adhesive foam to the back of the heart and stuck it down. I had already stamped a second saying when I stamped the one for my last card, so I cut it and had It ready to stick to my card. I went through my pile of kitties I had stamped and chose a little orange cat and a ball of yarn and placed it to the left side of the heart and then added my sentiment and another cute little mouse. I thought it was a little too much white on the background, so I decided to add some blue splatters and called these done!

Yes, PLease layout | Mercy Tiara Kits DT

Good morning crafty people!! How are you today?! Its mid-week, halfway to the weekend and oh man am I looking forward to that! Well on another happy note, I’m here today to share another layout for the Mercy Tiara kit club. This is my second layout for the design team,using the Brighter Days kit and I already have some fun summer photos and they go perfect with this kit!!

I started this layout with my pictures I chose, my white cardstock background and the plaid for my boarder. I decided up front I wanted a boarder on this one, I trimmed my white cardstock down and added the boarder up front. I knew I wanted to use the Pinkfresh Studio paper from the delightful collection called Full Color. It’s so bright and pretty, kind of reminds me of Q-bert lol, showing my age! But I didn’t want to use to much cause it’s so bright, I’ll get there!! I pulled other papers that I thought I would use.

I backed my photos with more white cardstock, decided I didn’t want a bunch of layers behind my photos, so I started to cut strips. Fussy cutting the edges of the Full Color paper, putting another strip through a punch from my stash and then added a few more and making sure I had some for the bottom of my layout too, so I could make a cluster there too.

Like I had said, I’m really trying to use the foam titles from the kit, so I had pulled the Yes, Please and used that for my title. I placed it to the left of my layout, on the picture of my girls after I had figured out how I wanted my little paper strips.

Then I pulled out the embellishments from the main kit and the ephemera add on and started pulling things I thought I would use. I have to say, I also did some fussy cutting from 2 papers in the kit. I ended up with quite a few round pieces I can use and a whole page of labels!! And I love labels!! Lol I slid a few of the circles, plates lol, behind a tag that said this, tucked a label in with my strip layers and moved onto the bottom right corner for my cluster.

I added pap-er strips to the bottom right, along with some circle stickers, labels, and a few other ephemera pieces. I decided I wanted to add some of those pretty gold butterflies and sequins. I added those, splattered some HeidiShine and called this layout good! I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I hope you come back to check out more!!

Amazing Girls Layout | Mercy Tiara Kit Club DT

Good morning all you crafty people!! I'm back again this weeek to share another layout made with the Brighter Days kit form the Mercy Tiara Kit Club!!.

I started this layout by picking my photos. I knew what ones I wanted to use, so I grabbed them. I pulled papers from the kit and started to back my photos anf get them in the configuration I knew I wanted and then remembered I had these beautiful cutfiles I could use!! Soooo, of course I pulled out my cutty machine, added the papers I wanted to use, patterned paper and some white cardstock and let it cut the rainbow and flower out.

I decided to put the rainbow on the left side of my layout and everything towards the top because of the way the girls were looking. It just seemed to fit for me. So I added the rainbos down, and then added the flower behind my photos to just add a little more dimension and I thought it looked nice too.

Once I had the area around my photos the way I wanted, I added my title, one of the large fome stickers from the Flea Market collection, I dont tend to use these but this year I have been trying to make my self step out of my own box. But it worked perfect for my title, along with some of the amazing thickers in the kit too!! I love these Eclair foam thickers!! I layered some of the little bits and bobs form the embellishment under my title and I thought I was done, but I decided to cut my layout down and add a boarder for some more color. I'm glad I did, I like it so much better. I also decided to run the edges of my white Cardstock threw my sewing machine and the rainbow too.

I popped up a few of the stars from the cut file and then added some Heidi Swapp gold color shine from my stash, added some of the beautiful exclusive sequins here and there. Pulled out my typewriter, typed up my journaling, added it to my layout and called this one good!! I hope you enjoyed this layout, and I hope you come back to check out more!! Make sure to check out my Instagram for more insperation, along with my Youtube TikTok facebook and the Mercy Tiara Facebook Group too!!

Birthday Cards using stamps, stencils and distressed oxides | Cut Cardstock DT

Hi crafty people!! How ya been doing? Well today I wanted to pop in and share a few cards I made using cardstock from CutCardstock, distressed oxides from my stash, a few number stencils and a great background stamp from Hero Arts.

I started my cards with white cardstock, I cut both pieces down to 4x5 ¼ so that when I put them on a card base, the color from the card would show as a boarder. I put the white paper into my Misti with a little removable adhesive on the back and then I laid my stencil over the top with a little adhesive on it as well so that I could blend my distressed oxides over the top without having the stencil move. When it comes to the #7 card, I decided to use darker colored inks to stamp over the top of everything with the hero arts background stamp. Once I had the background stamped, I decided that the seven didn't stand out well enough, so I attempted to go around it with a white gel pin and didn't quite like the looks of it, so I went ahead and grabbed my black Micron out and went around the seven and then the outside portion of the card as well.

When I moved to the 13 card, I had put the stencil down for the one and I had the portion from the inside of the three and added some adhesive and tape it down on top of the one so that it would overlay it some. I went ahead and blended the colors on the one so that it would leave the space where the three was blank. I remove both the three and the one stencil and then grab the three stencil that had the inside taken out and put it back over the three and add it in just a light pink the spun sugar distressed oxide. I did the background stamp on this one as well, but I decided to flip the colors. I added gold splatters to both and stamped two different happy birthday sentiments on some black cardstock cut them out and added them to the front of the cards and adhere the 7 and 13 to two different colors of blue card stock from cutcardstock.

On the #7 card I chose to use surf and on the number 13 I chose to use Aqua. I made sure to add 3D foam behind the card fronts and added them onto the card bases I also popped up the happy birthday tags with a little 3D foam as well and called both done.

Good Vibes LO | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone!! Today is kind of bitter sweet. I am sharing my last layout for Clique kits today. I've been part of the Clique kits family for over 3 years now and I am going to miss it! The online shop will stay open through August and there are great sales going on, when the store opens back up. Gia is away for a little bit and the store will be back open, with the great sales before to long. Ok, well now onto my last layout.....

I started this layout with white cardstock and the Summer Groove kit. I also pulled a sketch from 30 Days of sketches with Christy's Beautiful life. Here the sketch I played with.

I wasnr sure what I was going to do with the background at first, so I decided to play with the photos I picked and adding a few photo mats to them and getting them positioned how I wanted them.

I went through the kit and pulled different embellishments that I thought I might want to use on this layout and put them to the side. I went through my stash of clique kits stuff and found this piece of cardstock.Its an old Bazzil, Blossom. I decided to cut it into strips and use it as my background and for the strips in the sketch.

I added them to my background, ran them threw my sewing machine and ruffed up the sides and decided to start placing my photos and adding embellishments.

I tucked flowers here and there behind my pictures, I popped one of the pictures in the lower right corner up on 3D foam, to add some dimension. This was really a quick and easy layout. In the end I decided to pull another paper from the kit and fussy cut that bottom scallop at the bottm, I added some Heidi Swapp color shine in gold from my stash and called this layout good. I hope you liked this layout and I hope you continue to follow along, even though I will no longer be posting for Clique Kits. I have more scrappy fun coming and make sure to check out my Facebook group, TikTok, youtube and Instagram for more insperation!

Crazy Girl Layout for CutCardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! How is your week so far? Well I wanted to pop in here and share a new layout I made using beautiful cardstock from CutCardstock and Echo Park Teen Spirit collection.

Starting my layout, I went with the Cougar Smooth White Cardstock for my base. I already had my photos, cut them apart and matted them on different cardstocks, Hydrangea Purple, Aqua, and then Shimmer Fruit Punch. I matted each photo on a different color and sat them to the side.

I went through the papers in the collection I was going to use and pulled a few that I knew matched and would go great with the cardstock options I had already picked. I cut a thick strip of the one with fun emojis on it and then a little pink with white sprinkles. I layered them and added my photos on top but I wanted more. So I went through with cutting out some more circles and making some more embellishments.

I had used my circle punches to pop out a few circles from things from the collection and others from cardstock. I like purple and my daughter thought this layout could do with more purple so, I cut out a larger circle for the top side of my layout. I tucked it behind the paper strips I already had and tucked a little tag back there, a word sticker and a few little circles I'd popped out.

I like the way my layout was looking, but as always for me, I wanted there to be something more at the bottom. I pulled the same papers from the top and cut some strips and layered them at the bottom, tucking some cardstock circles in there and there, along with a few emoji faces. I added my journaling and title, a few more cut out circles and called this layout good!
