Welcome by my blog today friends, and thanks for visiting me here. Today I'm sharing a sweet and simple little card and bookmark duo featuring more of the fabulous cardstocks from CutCardStock. No matter what type of project, no matter what colors, styles or techniques, you're always sure to find the perfect cardstocks when you shop at CutCardStock. These high-quality papers will really make you smile.
My card uses Cougar Natural White Cardstock for the base layered with Pop Tone Pink Lemonade Cardstock for the inner frame. I used a Scalloped Frame Die Set from PoppyStamps to create the frame. The inside parts that are pattern papers were cut using an older Crate Paper line called Emma's Shoppe (my all-time favorite). The same is true for all the papers, ephemera, stickers, etc. I did a bit of machine stitching on both my card and my bookmark to give it all a homespun feel. Yes, you can machine stitch cardstocks and papers. Lots of paper scraps and tidbits were tucked in, but that sturdy cardstock is such an awesome base every time.
I did some masking on my stamping. This is where I used a bit of scrap paper to cover the silhouette image from Jenni Bowlin Studio (on card) and the sentiment from Creative Worship (on bookmark) so that I could stamp the Wonderful Words of Life Musical Background Stamp on my backgrounds without messing up the other stamping. You can see the masking technique photos on the CutCardStock Blog. I simply cut a piece of scrap paper to block the stamped image from being stamped in the area where I would next be adding the focal image on card and the sentiment on the bookmark.
The matching bookmark was also cut using the Cougar Natural White Cardstock and Pop Tone Pink Lemonade Cardstock with the Bookmarks & More Dies. I also tied some natural jute into a paper button on my card and into the hole of my bookmark. I love the warmth of adding ribbons, jutes and laces to my tags and bookmarks. The CutCardStock papers make such a great sturdy base for all your cards, bookmarks, tags and more. They're awesome.
If you have any question at all, please let me know. I tend to have a lot going on with some of my cards and projects. lol Paper layering is a lot of fun and an easy way to create fun projects while using up old paper scraps. By using CutCardStock papers, you're always sure to find the perfect colors and weights of sturdy bases for all your projects. Thanks so much for visiting me here today and have a creative week.
