Star Dream Metallic for Extra Shine

 Have you die cut Star Dream Metallic or used in embossing folders? Today I am posting this gorgeous anniversary card for CutCardstock.

Create the Background

Start with a piece of Rose Quartz Star Dream Metallic. I love the subtle color of this cardstock. Dry emboss with the Elegant Flourish Embossing folder from @Altenewllc. Use the coordinating stencils to add a pink tint to the flourishes. Trim to A2 card size and set aside.

Die Cut the Components

I used several colors of cardstock to create the blooms: Lessebo Sunflower, Lessebo Moss Green, DCS Pink Tutu and DCS Amaranth (one of my new favorite colors). Use Altenew's Zero Waste Wildflower Meadow Die and cut an A2 panel from each color in addition to Cougar 80. Lb. White Cardstock. I keep the different colors separated in different small trays.

Create a variety of blooms by gluing layers together. Set aside.

Create the lantern by die cutting the top and accent pieces in Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock and the base in Pop Tone Black Licorice. Glue together to create the focal point.

Assemble the Card

Attach the Embossed base to an A2 card base. I like to use Cougar 110 lb. Cardstock for my bases.

You may want to lay out your leaves, blooms and the lantern on the side to determine placement as that will determine how the pieces are layered.

Once you have determined the placement, glue all the elements in place.

Add a Sentiment

Choose a sentiment die to accent the formal look of this card. I used a cursive die from Altenew and die cut the sentiment in a black shine cardstock in my stash paired with Cougar 100 lb. Cardstock. Glue the sentiment to the card.

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.
