Waving Hi cards | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone! I have a fun and quick slimline card for you today.

I used the Cougar Smooth White Cardstock for my card base, along with the portion with the cutouts and for my stamping of my polar bears too. I love this cardstock because I can stamp on it, use my alcohol markers and it stays nice and smooth! And the other color I used is Pop-tone Sour Apple cardstock.

I used my Slim card Basics, creative cuts from Mama Elephant to cut my card out the way I wanted. I popped the white portion with the cutouts up so I could add some dimension and I wanted to make sure the clouds I inked on showed through too.

I added one of my little polar bears to the top hole and one to the bottom. Then I added a banner with my sentiment to the center one and called this card done. I really liked that this was a simple card, but cute! I hope you liked this card and I hope you have a great rest of your week!!

Short Arms, Warm Heart card | Cut Cardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! How was your week? Happy it's friday? Well I am!! I want to get to some more crafting!! Speaking of crafting, I wanted to share another card with yall that I made. I sure have been on a card making kick lately, but that's ok lol.

I make the base of my cards out of Cougar white smooth cardstock, I also do all my stamping on the same cardstock as well. I do that because I love the way the stamping comes out, clean and crisp, along with the way the cardstock takes the distressed oxides in this case, and alcohol inks in other cases. When I had stamped out my dinos, I pulled my glass mat and started to play with distressed oxides and my water brush, until I liked the way the dinos looked. I set them aside to dry and pulled my heart background die. I played with different colors to go behind the die cut and settles on Light yellow. I wanted a little more color so I pulled my mustard seed distressed oxide and blended it from the top and faded into the cardstock color.

Putting the die cut on the Light yellow cardstock and adding it to the card base, I didn't like my dino just sitting here with nothing, so I pulled some Aqua cardstock and cut out a circle that was large enough to put my dino on and make it have a home.

I added its little tree, made sure some of the grass could fit behind the dino and then popped the dino up on some 3d adhesive and added my little sentiment and called this one done!

Let's hang out Sloth card | CutCardstock DT

Hello everyone!! How are you doing today?? Well I wanted to share a new card that I made, with a sloth! I love sloths!! lol I have to admit, I love playing with cards with the cardstock from the shop. I have been playing with everything I can think of on this cardstock. But with this card, I used the white Cougar Smooth Cardstock, I used watercolors on it for my sloth, along with distressed oxides on the background for clouds.

Once I had finished painting my sloth, I realized that the branch wasn't long enough. I knew I wanted to add a top to it so I grabbed two greens, Jelly Bean Green and Galax, and cut out some leaves. I added them to the top so it looked a little more like a tree.

After I had that done, I decided that I wanted to add some more blue too. I riffled through my dies in my stash and found one I decided I wanted to use, pulled Surf and ran it through my sizzix. I trimmed the end of the limb from the sloth branch. I tucked it behind the blue die cut and then added the leaves to the top.

I popped a circle out of the cardstock and stamped Let's hang out on it. I used my squeezed lemonade distressed oxide around the edges and popped that on to finish off my card.

Play layout with Fringe! | CutCardstock DT

Good morning everyone!! How are you this morning?? I hope all if well where you are. Well today I wanted to share a new layout with yall. I decided to play with diecuts and fringe!! I had so much fun with this!!

My mom came up to hang out and we decided to sit and play with some dies she had got, that I didnt have and I loved the Tim Holtz, Funky Insects dies and thought I would try and play with them. I pulled two purple(Hydrangea Purple, Grape Jelly) cardstocks, two pinks (Shimmer Fruit Punch,Strawberry Cream), a yellow (Light yellow), blue (Surf) and of course white(Cougar Smooth Cardstick) for my base and some die cuts.

When I went to assembling the diecut buggies lol, I pulled out some of my distressed oxides and added a little color to the edges, adheared them together lightly and then ran them through my sewing machine.

When I was making my bugs, I had went through my scrap bucket and pulled some patterned papers that went along with my cardstock colors. I cut some little pieces out for my bugs and then made sure I had enough to make long and short fringe with. I cut my fringe and started to play with where I wanted it on the layout. When I figured that out, I started adhering it down. I cut another scrap, white woodgrain, popped it up on foam adhesive and added it to the top of my fringe so that it had a more finished look and a little shelf for my photo to sit, along with my title.

I added a little paper behind my photo and popped it up on some foam adhesive too and placed it to the top right of my layout, sitting on that little shelf. I added my title, plain and simple, Play. Then came the fun!! I got to start tucking my little bugs in here and there. Sticking out from under the fringe and up by my photo. This was a fun layout and I love the way that the cardstock takes the ink and can be played with. Make sure to head over to the CutCardstock shop and check out all the beautiful papers, regular cardstock, shimmer cardstock and more.
