Purr-fect Couple Square Scallop Card

I have another Square Scallop edge Die Cut Card to share with you today.

I just love these things.  

They come with the scallops all ready cut out so it makes it easy to put together a quick and easy card!

I used a new S.W.A.L.K image from Crafter's Companion for today's card.

I started with a Square Scallop edge Die Cut Card  cut from Kraft Cardstock.  I adhered a strip of patterned paper at the bottom of the card and added some plastic drops to each of the scallops.

 

Then I just added layers of paper and the colored image and the card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is a day to spend with friends and family and reflect on all the things that we are thankful for.  

I am thankful for all the blessings in my life and hope that you get to spend today with the ones you love!

In honor of Thanksgiving, I thought I would share a fall themed Thank You card today.

I made this card with a Square Scallop Card from Creative Cuts and More and one of my favorite fall stamps, Fall Harvest,  from The Rubber Cafe.

  

I colored this image with Spectrum Noir Markers.

 And adhered Jellie Dots to each of the scallops.

The  Square Scallop Card is one of my favorite die cut cards from Creative Cuts and More and I always keep some on hand for a terrific starting point for any card!

Celebrate the Season

The Die-Cut Divas are celebrating Christmas all month long with tons of die-cut inspiration!!!

Terry has started carrying the Cottage Cutz Dies in her store and they are awesome!

For my project today I made a card and gift box set using 

Celebrate the Season.

The card base is a 5 1/4" Square Scallop card from Creative Cuts and More that was die cut from Bazzill Red Canvas cardstock.  The words were die cut from Bazzill Green cardstock.  The Dew Drops are from The Robins Nest.

The box is Square Box #01 from Creative Cuts and More cut from Red Bazzill cardstock.

The Cottage Cutz die, Celebrate the Season, is one that will get lots of use.  

You could use it to make all your Christmas cards and it would be great on a scrapbook page full of wonderful Christmas pictures too!

Make sure you check back all month.

I'll have more great die cut projects to share with you!

Square Scallop Cards

Hi All!

It's Kristine again!

I had these two cards on my blog all ready but I wanted to share them here too since I made both of them with a Creative Cuts Card base!  This is a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card.  I love these because with the scallop edge they all ready look cool before you even get started decorating it!

This 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card was cut out of  Ivy Bazzill Canvas Textured Cardstock.

I cut a strip of patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom backside of the card so that it shows through the scalloped edge.  I adhered Dew Drops to each of the Scallops too.

The image is a newly released image from High Hopes Stamps and I colored it with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.

Here is another card that started as a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card.  This one was cut out of Caribbean Breeze Bazzill Smoothies card stock.  I used dew drops on this one too!  Those scallops just cry for some fun embellishment...don't you think?

The mermaid is from Stampendous Stamps and the sentiment is AmyR stamps.

I always keep a bunch of different colors of these 

 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card's

around because they are such a great jumping off point for making cards!

I hope you liked what I did with them are feeling inspired to try some!

Thanks for stopping by!

Take Time for Yourself!

I have a fun little card to share today that uses two die cut elements from

I started with a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card cut from SU Coffee Cake paper.

I adhered a panel of patterned paper to the card front and then added a strip to the bottom of the card from the back side to make the scallops "pop"

The frame around the bicycle image is Elegant Rectangle Frame.

Here's the inside of the card.

I just have a quick card to share today.  Another last minute Christmas card that I made with a

Have a TERRIFIC day!

Welcome Back!

I hope you had a terrific weekend!  I was very busy as the director of a huge Marching Band Field Tournament that was held at my son's high school this weekend.  I've run this event for the last four years and this was my final year.  We had a lovely day with no rain on Saturday and while it rained on Sunday during clean up I didn't mind at all!  

Once I got home and got dry and warm again I remembered that I needed to make a birthday card for a friend on another design team. I didn't have much time, energy, or mojo so I reached for my old favorite, Square Scallop die cut card from Creative Cuts and More.

It was so easy...just added some layers of paper and a large digital image from Paper Pretties stamps, "Pretty Present", that I colored and fussy cut before attaching a tag stamped with a sentiment from Everyday Sentiments and adhering to the card with pop dots.

I suggest you always have a few of these Square Scalloped cards on hand in a few different colors because it really makes it fast an easy to made a quick and fabulous card!

Have a great rest of your week!

You're Beary Special to me!

Happy Monday!!!

I spent the weekend in San Diego at my Sister's wedding!  My daughter and I were 2 of her 13 attendants.  Yep...BIG wedding.  It was a great time and we are very happy to finally have married her off to her high school sweetheart who she has been "dating" for 15 years!

But because I was gone all weekend I didn't have time to work on today's post.  Lucky for me I all ready had this great High Hopes image colored and set aside so I grabbed a 5 1/4" square Scallop Card from Creative Cuts and more and threw this card together!

The die cut card was cut from Walnut Bazzill Canvas textured card stock.  I backed the image with kraft paper and then adhered it to the card.  I also added a strip of Kraft paper to the right edge behind the scallop edge.  Then I tied the ribbon around the left side of the card and "wa-la"!  All done!

That's one of the things I love about Creative Cuts & Mores die cut 5 1/4" square Scallop Card.

It makes it really easy to make a great card because the scallops are all ready there!

That's also why I always have a stash of colored images for those last minute card needs!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week!

Happy Halloween Square Scallop Card

Happy Halloween!!!

Now that my kids are grown I don't get too in to Halloween and sorta hate the hassle of the trick or treater's because my dog just barks all night and the bugs fly in the house every time I open the door but I do still decorate my house and I love all the cute images available for stamping!

So in the spirit of the day I just had to share one last Halloween card with you!

I started with a 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card from Creative Cuts & More.  These are fabulous die cut cards to start any project with.  They come with the scallops all ready cut and the fold line scored.

Beary Christmas

Hi everyone!  It's Taylor here today, to share a quick and fun Christmas card with you!  Have you started your holiday stamping yet?  I actually started way earlier this year, and then took a break for most of the summer.  But with autumn starting, I need to get moving!

My card base is actually from Creative Cuts and More (it's the 5 1/4" square scallop card), and it came with that great scallop border and a pre-scored fold line, just waiting for me to dress it up!  I love to pair these square cards with the coordinating 5 1/2" square envelopes.  It makes for a great set.

Break time is over - back to the craft table for more creative goodness!  Enjoy your day!

Supplies: 
Stamps: Beary Christmas (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)
Card Stock: Bazzill Kraft (5 1/4" square scallop card base), Neenah White

Lapis Lazuli Snowflake card

How about a Christmas card today? Does this one make you think frosty thoughts? This is a fun and easy card that anyone can make. Just order a batch of cards and chipboard snowflakes from Creative Cuts and More, and then turn your kids loose with the glitter. They will have a great time making a bunch of Christmas cards for your stash.

I used the 5 1/4" Square Scallop Card in Ice Gold cardstock and a Snowflake #01 - Large cut from heavyweight chipboard. The Ice Gold (Curious Metallics) is a gorgeous shimmery cardstock, and it is a nice sturdy thickness that can stand up without buckling under the weight of the glittered chipboard.

I covered the chipboard snowflake with liquid adhesive and covered it with the blue glitter and set it aside to dry. Then I pulled out my 1/4" Killer Red Tacky Tape and adhered a couple of lengths of it to the bottom of the inside of the card. I wanted the scallops to pop up so I covered the tape with the same blue glitter and shook off the excess. Don't you love the way the scallop edge stands out against the glittery edge?

You and your kids would have a great time making these cards in so many different colors. You can pick up the cards, the snowflakes, the tacky tape, and many different colors of glitter at Creative Cuts and More today. Have fun shopping and getting glittery!

Check back here on Monday for the Christmas in July blog hop. We will have lots of great Christmas-y ideas and inspiration for you, and you don't want to miss this. There is a fabulous prize waiting for a lucky commenter!!

Fun with window cards!

I think next to 3-D die cut boxes my favorite CC&M product is window cards, I love the surprise peeking through a window. (This card is known as the 5-1/4" Square Scallop Card Heart Window Vertical.) On this card I printed a daffodil digital stamp on vellum and embossed it speedy quick then colored it with my trusty Bic Mark-it markers (sharpies or copics would work too) then sewed it behind the window opening.

It may seem tricky to machine stitch around a heart shape but here is a crafty trick: Start at the bottom point of the heart and sew up to where it starts to curve then instead of using the foot pedal on your machine use the turning wheel on the right hand side of your sewing machine to go one stitch at a time until you get over the "humps" then use the pedal as you stitch down the other strait side. I'm no seamstress but I love the look I get when I stitch on a card.

Here is another tip: If you don't have the right color "bling" for your card you can alter clear rhinestones just color them with your solvent based markers such as Bic Mark its, Copics or sharpies. I use a small glue dot to stick the rhinestone down then color right over it with the marker, works like a charm!

Got Hockey?

Did you know that Creative Cuts and More carries fabulous shapes? In our family hockey is our all time favorite sport, so I was so excited to get some die cut hockey sticks and pucks. Creative Cuts and More's die cut shapes work great for cards and 3D projects, but they are also fantastic for scrapbook pages.
Check out all of the fabulous die cut shapes and see what amazing projects you can create. As always please leave a comment and share any of your Creative Cuts and More creations.

Harvest Time Is Here

Harvest time is here and it's time to start planning projects for fall feasts like Thanksgiving! Today, we've got some great projects highlighting the Tacky Tape Shapes -- specifically the small pumpkin. (Keep in mind that while it's called the "small pumpkin", it measures 3” high x 2-3/4” wide -- large enough to make a striking focal point for a card!)

Tacky Shapes were introduced in our last post via the sparkly spiders on Lila's coffin box. She chose glitter to cover her spiders. Many other materials are suitable for use with the Tacky Shapes, including microbeads, flock, and today's idea: gold leafing.

For both cards, the top protective layer over the Tacky Tape was removed to reveal the adhesive. I selected the more copper-looking pieces from the package of leafing and applied those to the stem. Then I applied the more orange pieces to the pumpkin itself. Using my index finger, I worked in the leafing and use a paintbrush to brush the flakes back into the container.

And here is a closeup of this card:



And the second card, which is a Square Scalloped 5-1/4" Card cut from Acetate:



Remember, this Pumpkin cut from cardstock or other materials could make a fun addition to holiday place settings and room decor!
