Use Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for Amazing Shine

 Have you tried using Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for most of a floral card front? Today I am posting for CutCardStock. Today I did just that! I used Stardream for the blooms, leaves and background. Check out the pearly shine!

Create the Blooms and Leaves

This is the Whimsical Flower Vine from Altenew. Use Fairway Stardream for the leaves, Punch for the flower bases and Rose Quartz for the top petals. Stardream is a solid cardstock with a subtle pearl like shine. It comes in a variety of colors. Often, I will use Stardream for the accent pieces, but I decided to go big this time and used it for most of the cover panel. Assemble the blooms using liquid glue. Attach the blooms to the leaves.

Emboss the Star Dream Metallic Base Panel

Use a small panel 3 x 5 inches of Crystal Stardream Cardstock and emboss using an embossing folder of your choice. I used an Altenew folder

Assemble the Card

Cut a panel from Punch Stardream slightly larger to frame the embossed panel. Attach the embossed panel in the center. Attach the panel to an A2 card using Cougar 110 lb. White Cardstock. I use this weight of cardstock for all my card bases to add strength. There is not much room for a sentiment, so be selective. I wanted my small sentiment to pop so I used a small die also from Altenew, die cut in Pop tone Black Licorice and popped up with foam tape for interest.

Inlaid Cardstock Blooms

 Hello friends. Have you tried inlaid die cuts? Today I am presenting for CutCardStock using a variety of their gorgeous cardstock to create this colorful inlaid cardstock bloom card.

This is Altenew's Dainy Bloom Cover Plate plus a variety of gorgeous cardstock!

Create the Sticky Base

Use a piece of Cougar 80 lb. Cardstock larger than an A2 card base. Cut a piece of double-sided sticky paper and attach to the cardstock.

Die Cut the Components

Start by die cutting the gold frame using Classic Linen Gold Pearl Cardstock. It has a beautiful subtle shine. Pop out all of the pieces. Next die cut PopTone Gum Drop Green Cardstock. Carefully insert the pieces into the stick frame in the appropriate openings.

Next use Star Dream Metallic Amethyst Cardstock and run the frame through your die cutter. Select the lower petals of the larger blooms and insert into the sticky frame.

Pop out all the pieces and die cut the panel again using Pop Tone Grape Jelly Cardstock. Use the darker purple for the inside petals plus the two similar blooms.

Repeat the process, filling in the last blooms with DCS Light Yellow Cardstock and the Background with Cougar 80 lb. White Cardstock. Use a Black Micron Pen to fill in the flower centers. I felt the pieces were much too small to handle.

Assemble the Card

Once you have filled the panel with inlaid cardstock pieces, attach the panel to an A2 card base made with Cougar 110 lb. Cardstock. This is my go-to for card bases.

Choose a sentiment to add. Use the Gold Linen Pearl Cardstock to die cut the shadow for the word hugs, and Pop Tone Black Licorice Cardstock for the sentiment. glue together and attach to the card front. I love how the Pearl Cardstock sets off the black sentiment.

Die Cut Floral Blooms

 I love the subtle shine Stardream Metallic Cardstock has. Have you used it for die cutting? Today I am posting for CutCardStock. Today I am sharing this colorful die cut floral blooms card. I find when working with these larger dies, I like to make two similar yet unique cards!

Die Cut the Floral Components

Use the Fresh Picked Anemone Etched Die from Spellbinders to cut all the floral components. Use Pop Tone Cotton Candy and Amarynth Cardstock (a gorgeous deep pink) to die cut all of the bloom parts except the centers. Black Licorice Cardstock for the centers makes the blooms pop! Cut the leaves and stems, one set using Stardream Metallic Amethyst and a second set using DCS Light Teal

Assemble the Die Cut Blooms

Split the pink die cuts so you can create two sets of blooms, one with the lighter pink as the lower petals and one with the darker pink as the out petals.

Assemble the Cards

Use an A2 panel of Pop Tone Blue Raspberry Cardstock and pair the Stardream Amethyst Metallic Cardstock leaves and stems with the outer lighter blooms. Arrange the die cut blooms on the cardstock and glue in place.

Create the Sentiments

Use Black Licorice Cardstock to stamp and emboss your sentiments of choice. I used Altenew stencils for my cards as I have a large selection of their products. The first sentiment is glued in place, while the second is popped up with foam tape.

Attach to the Card Base

I use Cougar 110 lb. White Cardstock for my card bases. It is a heavy weight quality cardstock. I buy mine by the ream and create my own bases by trimming in half and scoring. CutCardstock also offer a cutting service if you prefer to have your precut and scored!

I love the colorful blooms and the contrast of the sentiments! The Stardream Metallic Cardstock adds a wonderful subtle shine. The Pop Tone Bubblegum Envelope picks up the pink hues perfectly!
