HELLO

Hello All,

This is Agnes welcoming you to another Cut Cardstock blogpost. Today I am sharing with you what I think it turned out a great card.This card came to mind after talking to a dear friend of mine who is a school teacher and because I know she does a wonderful job with her students I wanted her to know how much she is truly appreciated.

I used the Esse 100lbs black textured cardstock from Cut Cardstock for this card.
I used it for the card's base, I also used it for some of the embellishment shadows and for my greeting. The patterned paper is from Pink Paisley: Memorandum and Atlas and you also can find them at the Cut Cardstock store.


I fuzzy cut the clipboards from the Memorandum patterned paper, die cut the shadows using my die cutter (Cricut Explore) and adhered them to the front of the card. I then punched out some circles using a paper punch, die cut some stars and the letters a, b and c using some thin dies and layered them on top of the clipboard as shown in pics.
I then used another thin die and cut the Hello and glued on top.
I also added some smaller stars to the front and to the inside.

I loved how this Esse cardstock performs. Despite is a 100 lbs. cardstock I had no problems using my thin dies to cut some of the embellishments. I also didn't have any problems cutting the chipboards shadows when I used my die cutter and you can see how small those tiny cuts are.

Here is a close up of the greeting.

And here is the completed card with a peek at the inside.
I know my friend will be thrilled and I know she will frame it to display it in her classroom.

I hope you like it too.

As always, we appreciate your visit.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Note: The school is an image from the My World Cricut Library and was cut at 2-1/4" tall and the clipboards from Sportsmania.

TIME 4 FUN---A BITTEN BY THE BUG CHALLENGE

welcome to another challenge hosted by 

Bitten by the Bug 2.

last week i missed it but here i am now--:D.

this is what we were asked to do:

"I asked the designers to use the Time 4 Fun cut from the Cuttin' Up cart. I hope you like what they did!

As always, you are welcome to participate with us. If you don't have the Cuttin' Up cart, please feel free to use another cart with the same phrase or build one yourself. Please submit a new project for the challenge".

 Time 4 Fun

6.18 round card

my son was not the sporty kid but he did loved soccer and played every fall until middle school when he had to choose between soccer and marching band. :P he was very good at it and won a few trophies as a soccer player.

 i was remembering when we moved here in 2005, and the first thing we did was look for a soccer team. now, he is in college and no soccer but still with his marching band. btw, he plays the saxophone. 

this card is to commemorate his love for the sport at the time.

 the card base is from Sports-Mania. these were his school colors, not the last team colors. those were blue and white. i like these colors better, lol.

 the Time 4 Fun are from the cuttin' up cart we asked to used for this challenge.

below, you will see a few more takes of the same card.

 i would love if you participate in this "Time 4 Fun", Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge. you do not have to own a cuttin' up cart. so many carts have fonts and you can make your own "Time 4 Fun" phrase. you will also get to see what my team-mates have created.
