A Cut Above Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a card that is featuring A Cut Above Stamp and dies. This set is a perfect addition to Color My World! So of course, I just had to combine them! As a card maker, I love a fun craft related project (with a cute critter!).

To start I die cut all the ‘stamp layering’ elements I was going to use: two colored pencils, the scissors, pushpin (all from the A Cut Above Stamp) and the paint palette (from Color My World) . Next, I placed the die cuts in my Misti and used the stamp backing sheet with the drawings to help me position the layering stamps. I selected several shades of grey, yellow, blue, and red from my dye ink stash. No smudging with these inks!!

The cute kitty is one of the Birthday Cat stamps and was colored with matching yellow Copic markers. I added a few white highlights with my gel pen to all the images. The blue polka dot background pattern paper is part of the Spring Fever pad and cut with the outer border of the Frilly Frames Stripes Die.

For my second panel, I repeatedly stamped the notebook grid from the A Cut Above Stamp onto a white sheet of Neenah paper with one of the blue dye inks I used for the images. This sheet was cut with the spiral notebook paper die from Notebook Tab Dies.

Next, I used my paper trimmer to create a slightly bigger piece from white paper and colored it with one of the darker blue dye ink pads. A simple trick to create your own matching color card stock!

The sentiment was selected from Color My World and stamped onto the grid paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink and one of the red dye inks. After gluing the polka dot paper to a white card base, I added the next layers (blue piece and grid paper) before adhering the crafty tools and cute cat with foam tape. A few sparkling Iridescent Jewels were scattered around the sentiment.

I hope you got inspired to create your own cards with this fun crafty set! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Notebook Tab Die Focused Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here! Today, I am sharing a card create with the fun Notebook Tabs Dies. This set is so versatile as the dies can be used for journaling or scrapbooking. I decided to use the dies to make a fun clipboard themed card using a tab as the clip!

To start, I created a polka dot embossed background with Lots Of Dots Embossing. Next, I created the clipboard by trimming a piece of vellum to 3 1/2” W  x 4 1/2” H. I rounded off all four corners using a corner punch.

I die cut the notebook paper with Notebook Tabs Dies using paper from my stash. I die cut the clip with one of the tab dies in the set using gold cardstock. 

For the pencils, I die cut white cardstock with the pencil die from A Cut Above Dies. I scored the pencils for added texture. I stamped the bottom points and tips of the pencils using A Cut Above Stamps with Catherine Pooler Buttercream, Be Mine, and Cummerbund Inks. I added gold labels onto the pencils using the log piece from Fireplace Shaped Dies.

For the scissors, I die cut one pair out of gold cardstock and another pair out of paper from Spring Sunburst Paper. I added a gold screw in the middle using a tiny circle die from Gingerbread House Dies.

I added “you” die cut out of black cardstock from Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I die cut “RULE” out of white cardstock using Chloe Alphabet Dies and ink blended with Festive Berries, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides.

I finished off the card by adding a cute bunny from Beach Buddies Stamps, hearts from Stitched Heart 2 Dies and a colorful strip border from Spring Sunburst Paper.

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a wonderful week!

A Cut Above Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’ve got a fun card to share featuring the A Cut Above Stamps. I probably need to make 100 of these to have on hand when I’ve had one of “those” kind of days!

This is an A2 card with a pretty simple design that works up quickly (just in case you might also need 100 of these on hand). I started by die-cutting a paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones Paper using the frame portion from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Die and adhered this to the card front. Next, I die-cut a silver metallic cardstock using the frame portion from the Frilly Frames Chevron Die. To create a frame from this piece, I die-cut the center of it using the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I cut a blue paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones Paper 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", adhered the silver cardstock frame to it and adhered the combined piece to the card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of black cardstock using a Notebook Photo Corners Die and heat embossed the sentiment and white lines from the A Cut Above Stamps with white embossing powder. To add a scissor-like cut to the notebook paper, I die-cut it in multiple places using a Mini Mat & Tag 4 Die which also coordinates with the Frilly Frames Chevron Die.

To finish, I stamped the scissors from the A Cut Above Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

Notebook Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m sharing a CAS card with a touch of elegance featuring the Notebook Tabs Dies. When I first saw this notebook paper die I immediately thought of a large handwritten message and Sunny Studio has the perfect sentiment stamps to give it that look! Paired with a pencil from the A Cut Above Stamps, I just love how this came together.

I started this A2 card by die-cutting a piece of gray cardstock using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I adhered this to a white card front. Next, I die-cut a piece of kraft cardstock using a Stitched Rectangles Die and embossed it using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I adhered this centered on the gray frame.

I die-cut a light pink parchment cardstock 3 times using the Notebook Tabs Die and stamped lines on one of them in a dark pink ink using the A Cut Above Stamps. I then stamped the sentiment from the Lovey Dovey Stamps in gray ink. I already loved these scripty stamps, but they work so perfect on the notebook paper die for that handwritten look! I adhered the 3 notebook papers layered over each other.

To finish, I stamped roses and leaves from the Everything’s Rosy Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. The pencil from the A Cut Above Stamps was a perfect finishing touch. I also die-cut this using the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

A Cut Above Card with Isha

Hello everyone, Isha here today with a fun mixed media card featuring yet another GORGEOUS layering stamp "A Cut Above". I love playing with colors so I used the pencil stamp and used them as pencil crayons. 

To start, I took a watercolor paper and applied salty ocean distress ink as watercolor to it, let it dry. Then I die-cut the inside of the Frilly Frames Herringbone onto a white card and used it as a stencil. I applied Altenew embossing paste through the stencil onto the panel, let it dry. Flick black ink to this piece. Stamp the sentiment from the Color My World stamp set.

Next I stamped the pencil colors using various layers. It gives such a pretty result. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the panel to a white card. Now adhere the pencils to the card using liquid glue and 3d foam. Hope you enjoyed the rainbow theme card. 

Have a nice day!

A Cut Above Card with Catherine

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Catherine here! Today, I am sharing a cute scissors themed card created with A Cut Above Stamps. This set is super fun as it includes colored pencils, pushpins, notebook grids, and lines!

To start, I die cut two pairs of scissors and four pushpins out of white cardstock. I put the negatives back into my Misti to use as a guide for stamping the layered stamps. I used the following inks:

Reds: Altenew Heart Beat, Ruby Red
Blues: Catherine Pooler Oh Boy, Something Borrowed
Greys: Pink Fresh Misty Coast, Tim Holtz Lost Shadow
Greens: Altenew Green Fields, Firefly
Yellows: Catherine Pooler Lemoncello, Catching Rays

I die cut the word “CUT” with Chloe Alphabet Dies three times out of white cardstock and ink blended one set of letters with Festive Berries, Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. I glued the other two sets together and then glued the colored set on top.

Next, I stamped the panda and bunny from Beach Buddies Stamps and die cut with the coordinating Beach Buddies Dies. I colored the Panda and Bunny with Copic Markers listed in my blog link below.

For the background, I die cut a stitched border onto 4” x 5.25” white cardstock using a rectangle die from my stash. I wanted to do something fun with the background so I stamped dotted lines using the same inks with a road stamp from Spring Scenes Stamps. I added grey dashes with a Grey Multi-liner. I cut the openings from the sides with a craft cutter and ruler and then I partially die cut the top of the openings with a stitched border die from Slimline Basic Border Dies. I adhered the white background onto paper from Rainbow Bright 6x6 Paper.

I adhered all the images onto the front panel. I added White Heat Embossed sentiments from the same set. I finished off the card by adhering it onto A2 Vellum.
