Today is the third installment in a series on stretching your supplies and jazzing up basic white cardstock. Today I’ll be creating my own colored cardstock and using Birch Press layered dies to create some cards. Please continue reading to learn how I turned the DCS 12x12 sheets into these beautiful and colorful cards. The paper products were supplied by Cut Card Stock.

Valentine Treat Boxes

Post for Cut Card Stock.com

That time is here...stressing over valentines for your children's classmates. I end up dreading this every year and waiting until the last minute to get something done. This year in my quest to actually organize and do things ahead of time, I decided to start my project a bit early. This also coincided with my first blog post for CutCardStock.com as an influencer. I am excited to be working with them. I purchase a lot of my basic cardstock, especially Neenah solar white papers and envelopes, from them. CutCardStock.com has a lot of variety and they can do custom cutting on site. I decided to use 12x12 sheets of their DCS white and show ways to stretch that white cardstock. Please read on to see what I made.

Influencer for Cut Card Stock

I am pleased to announce I have been invited by Cut Card Stock to be an influencer for the next few months. I like Cut Card Stock because of their customer service as well as their selection of paper especially Neenah. I’m looking forward to sharing how I use their products in my projects.

I was sent some products to try. Here is what I chose from their website.

DCS 12x12 white card stock (this is 80# cardstock which I will be using for a variety of techniques. Stay tuned...)
DCS Wild Blueberry Navy cardstock
Neenah 130# solar white 8.5x11" sheets
Neenah Classic Crest solar white A2 envelopes
Basis Sample Pack
Stardream metallic sample pack
Curious metallic sample pack

Cut Card Stock sells sample packs of different cardstocks they carry. These sample packs are great for you to see the cardstock colors colors and the sheets are A2 sized! By having sample packs, I can use A2 sized sheets to accent, to die cut and to use as thin borders.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you check out CutCardStock. Although I was provided with some materials, I am not an affiliate for CutCardStock. The links inside the post are provided to you for your convenience. Have a crafty day.
