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!!

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.

Lovely Layout | Clique Kits DT

Good morning everyone, how was your weekend? Well it's been rainy here so, I got a little more time to scrapbook. I had a little that needed a little dental work, but we ended up having fun. I pulled my Limited Edition Heritage Poland & Ukraine Wonderful Wycinanki kit out and thought it would work great. I printed my photos, then decided to cut them out of the strip I started with and split them up a bit. I went through the kit and started pulling embellishment and of course some of the beautiful rub ons that came in the kit.

I knew I didn't want a bunch of paper on this layout. I decided that I wanted to play with some mixed media. I pulled some distressed oxides that I had gotten from the shop and started squishing them on a piece of plastic and adding it to my background. Once I had that done, I started to play with my pictures and where I wanted them. I decided the way I wanted to seperate them and then started to play with the things I had already pulled form the kit.

I started sliding pieces that I had pulled from the kit under my photos and then decided that I wanted more color. I really wanted to add a pop of that bright yellow in. So I grabbed a few pieces of paper and cut some strips and squares and started tucking them behind my photos. I added a few to the two pictures I decided to keep together and then decided to mat the other one as well. I just played with it as I went along making the layout.

Once I had the papers where I wanted, I played a little more with the things I had already pulled from the kit. I cut some of the rub-ons in half, I wanted to make them go a bit further. I added in more of the ephemera and the sticker I chose for my title. I just chose the one work, Lovely, because she was just a lovely little goof this day. It worked perfectly lol. She had no teeth problems at all, she was in for a cleaning, but had a really loose tooth and asked the dentist to pulled it so he did lol. I wanted a little more in there so I ran some vellum through my sizzix, got some leafs cut out and added them. Added in my journaling about the day and called this layout good. I hope you liked this layout and make sure to head over to the shop and check out all the beautiful kits that are there for the picking!
