All Occasion Card by Deanna M

I recently signed up for Kim's 6 X 6" paper pad club and received this gorgeous Authentic paper pad called Remembrance. It is  filled with lots of dark deep purples and light lavenders and greens. I absolutely love it!!

So today I have a card I made using several papers from that paper pad. In fact the only paper not from the pad, is the white card stock card base. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I started with a white card base cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  I then cut a dark purple mat also 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and adhered it to my card. I wanted the dark purple to show but not the white card base. I then picked 4 patterned papers from the pack and cut them at 2 1/2" x 1 7/8" and adhered them to my purple mat. I used my ATG gun to adhere the mats down.

I was browsing through the silhouette store and came across this lacy butterfly and flower cut out which I fell in love with. Of course I had to use it for my card. I cut the top layer out of more of the dark purple paper from the paper pad. The cut did not come with a back layer so I used the offset feature in the software to create a back layer which I cut out of white card stock. I used my Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to adhere these two layers together. I allowed it try and then sprayed it lightly with some Iridescent Glitter Dust. (Another favorite product of mine!).

I had this little wooden butterfly in my stash so I painted it with some Seedless Preserves Distress Stain. (This is a special order item, contact Kim through the store customer service link for information on how to order). Once that dry I spritzed it with some Lavender Fresh Glitter Mist spray. I attached the circle to the center of my card using some foam pads I received from Kim as a gift for being in her Adhesive club. (That was an awesome club to be a part of. Be sure to sign up for the Cutters Creek Yahoo group to get the inside scoop on the clubs.) I used some small glue dots to attach my butterfly to the circle.

I haven't added a sentiment to my card because I think it could be used for many different occasions, like Birthday, Thinking of You, Get Well, or even a Sympathy card.

Fun and Play Card by Fran

 

Today I have a really fun card to show you.  I was driven by the image to make the card colorful and playful.  The digital image I used is by Mo Manning called Come Out and Play.  When you see the image it will bring back lots of memories for us who were kids during the 50s and skating was the favorite past time.  I can remember going to the Shoemakers down the street from where I lived to buy skate keys because I would lose mine all the time.  Oh and the best shoes to use were saddle oxfords.  You know the ones that were black and white.  The skates would stay on better. Just a little skating down memory lane.

I colored the image using Prang colored pencils and the Gamsol technique.  I used a Spellbinders Mega Nestabilities, Curved Rectangles  to cut around the image.  I distressed the card with Tumbles Glass and Crushed Olive Distress Inks.  All the small flowers were punched using a Retro Flower Punch by EK Success,  Added lots of Stickles Glitter Glue to the flowers, words, and speech bubble.  The larger flower is from my stash.  I used the Silhouette Portrait to cut out the words: F-U-N and P-L-A-Y.  The frame of the card on the front and inside was also cut using the Silhouette called Notebook Edges.   Inkssentials Glossy Accents & Tombow Permanent Adhesive to hold everything together. Cardstock is from my stash. And the speech bubble and text was created in Paint Shop Pro.

Thank you card by Michele

Good Morning, today  I made a Thank you card. I needed to make one for my co-workers who took the office staff out to lunch last week. I started out by using a white base card 4.25x5.5 in, then I matted some pattern paper from the Echo Park Happy Days pack.   Then I added some bakers twine from We R Memory Keepers-aqua color and wrapper it around the paper before I glued it down with my Scotch quick-dry adhesive. 

For the saying I used Spellbinders Labels Four and used some red paper I had in my stash. Then I found this stamp I had that said "thanks" and used black ink.  I used some pop-up-dots for the label to give it some dimension. That my card and I hoped you like it.  Please stop by the store to pick up any of these items I have used, and if you need something special please ask KIM and she will try to get the items you are looking for.

Christmas Card by Jearise

I know Christmas is still a few months away but I figured if I start making cards now, I might have them done in time this year. I usually put it off and then end up having to go buy cards or sending them out the first of the new year.

As you can see, I used non traditional colors for this card. 

Items from Cutter's Creek Store:
purple Stickles glitter glue for my star 

Perfect Pearls Mists in Kiwi for the background
Provocraft Cuddebug Embossing folder - Swiss Dots also for background

Authentique 6 x 6 paper pad - Renew used for yellow background (part of the 6 x 6 paper pad club so email Kim if interested)
Tim Holtz Distress ink pad - Frayed Burlap used to soften the yellow background paper
Inkssentials Ink Blending Foam 10/Pkg  used to dispense distress ink on background

ATG used to put the card together

Thanks for stopping by today.

Celebrate

Hi, it's Mindy and it's my turn to post a project today. I recently got a new puppy, so I've been spending a lot of time with her and my other little dog outside in the backyard. They love chasing each other and barking at birds. I found this little bird digital stamp and thought it would make a nice bright summery card.

I've colored my image with my copic markers to match the bright colors in the Echo Park paper. This is an older pack, but they have several others that are just as cute. To finish the card off, I added some Cutters Creek brand flowers. I always like having these on hand to finish off my cards. They come in a large variety of colors and styles and if the color isn't exactly what you're looking for, you can modify them with your copic markers or some stickles. 

I hope you have enjoyed my bright summery card and that your summer isn't too hot to enjoy. 

First Crush by Fran

 

Do you remember your first crush?  I do!  Every time I saw him my knees would turn to Jell-O, lol.   All the memories came flooding back when I saw the image I used to make my card.  The digital image is by Dearie Dolls and I used the colored one from the set.  My card was cut using the Silhouette Portrait.  And the background on the inside of the card was also cut using the Silhouette. 

The card measures approximately 5” square.  The papers are by Recollections.  And they come in many colors and are distressed.  I added some Distress Stickles (Worn Lipstick) to the front of the card.  I attached the image using ASI (Kool Tak)  3-D Foam Pads.  And everything is held together using Inkssentials Glossy Accents.

Hawaii Album by Cindy

Hi everyone, Today, is my day for the Cutters Creek Design Team blog post. My project today is dear to my heart, it's my family scrapbook for our summer vacation to Hawaii. I used the tutorial from Enchanted Scrapper on YouTube.

 

I used Tropical Travelogue from Graphic 45 which is retired but the new Bohemian Bazaar would make a fabulous travel album too. Some of the other products I used include stickles, scor tape (lots of scor-tape!), the Mickey Mouse and Friends and Font cartridge, Robotz, Artiste and Elegant Edges cartridges and flowers. All of these products and many similar ones can be found in the Cutters Creek store.
