Goat Club

Hey there!

Today, I'm all about a new digital stamp set from





What a fun set this is!
When you purchase this digital set, you will receive a zip file containing:
- 4 black and white line drawings
- 4 full colour images
- 6 word images / sentiments



I colored both images with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy Cut.
They were popped with foam tape onto die cuts.
I used some masculine patterned papers on the backgrounds of both cards,
although they could be appropriate for anyone!
The sentiments, both from the set were printed and added.
The sentiment on the second card was die cut.
I added enamel dots to the first card.

Check this digital stamps set out along with all the other products in store from

Wedding Invitation Layout

Do you ever struggle to come up with a unique wedding gift idea? If so, I have a suggestion.


Hey there! Today I'm sharing my latest creation for CutCardStock. 
This is a 12 x 12 inch wedding invitation layout project. 
I was asked to put one together years ago by a co-worker and 
have done several since then as gifts. 
Just put the layout in a shadow box and the couple has a lasting keepsake. 


For this particular layout, I actually designed and printed a sample invitation myself. I found some pretty watercolor floral clip art on Etsy and used the Pages App on my Mac to design. It was printed onto Cougar A7 (5×7) Flat Discount Card Stock Invitations.

Card Stock Used

Cougar WHITE 12 x 12 Discount Card Stock

DCS Gold GLITTER Heavyweight 12×12 Discount Card Stock

Stardream Metallic PUNCH 105lb 8.5 x 11 Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Pastel Pink Card Stock

Basis 8.5×11 Soft Pink 80 lb Card Stock

DCS Discount Card Stock: Peach 

Lessebo Colors HUNTER GREEN 83lb Cardstock

Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN 8.5×11 Discount Card Stock

Gold & white patterned paper from my stash



Layout Base

The layout base consists of a 12 x 12 inch piece of the Gold Glitter Card Stock and a 11 1/2 x 11/1/2 inch piece of the Cougar White Card Stock.

Ink the edges of the white card and use a corner punch on the gold card. The white card is inserted into the corners of the gold.




Configure the Design

I chose to use 2 pieces of patterned paper on the background of my design. One of the these pieces is the paper I chose from my stash which was cut to 3 x 11 1/2 inches. Wanting to use another white and gold patterned piece, I created my own with washi tape (see photo below). It measures @ 5 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches.




These pieces and the invitation were matted with the Metallic Punch Card Stock. I also cut 2 strips measuring 1 x 10 1/2 inches.



Next, I did my die cutting for embellishments.




My flowers were assembled.





Add the finishing touches.







Thanks so much for taking a look at my Wedding Invititation Layout project!

Mother's Day Card

Happy Saturday!

I'm sharing a Mother's Day card today created for

I used a Prickley Pear stamp set and coordinating die


The stamped image was colored with Castle Arts Soft Touch Pencils
before die cutting. I created a frame using a shaped frame die and
a couple of square dies. I matted the shaped frame and fussy cut around it.
The square dies were used to cut the inside of the frame, as I wanted the
flowers to be placed inside the frame rather than on top.
Foam tape helped me create a little more dimension.
I stamped the sentiment from a set in my stash and fussy cut.
I added a few pearls to complete my card design.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at today's project!

Blooming Great Day

Hello there!
I hope everyone's Monday is off to a good start!
At least, I think it's Monday?
It gets harder and harder for me to keep track of what day it is!
LOL!

Enough of that.
I  have a card created for Polkadoodles to share. 
And since it seems we are having some warmer weather here in Colorado,
it is of a "spring" nature.

I'm using one of the Darling Buds digis.
This collection is one of my favorites from Polkadoodles!
And, it comes as printables or clear stamps!



I colored this beauty with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting.
She is popped with foam tape onto an inked background.
I simply took some coordinating stamp pads and daubed with finger daubers.
 was printed onto the panel before the inking.

My card base was die cut.
I added glitter dots to complete my card design.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my project!
I hope you have a  fabulous week!

Birthday Celebration Card

 Happy Saturday!
Today marks the start of a new

The theme is
ANYTHING GOES

This week I created an easel card. 
The card base was die cut and layered.
My focal image is a Lucy Monkman digi, Dog Sitting On Parcels/Gifts.
I colored with Spectrum Noir Market and fussy cut.
I placed a patterned paper strip behind the image from the
Birthday Fun 6x6 Paper Pack.  Enamel dots were added.
The inside of the card has my sentiment which is from
Winnie Celebrations Kit 1 Sentiment Pack. I printed on white card and
layered onto a yellow die cut. The bunting was die cut, colored and
popped with foam tape to act as my stop for the card front flap.


Won't you joining this week?
We'd love to see you there!
