ShortCuts Card Blanks - Clear

Hello everyone~
I've made another card with ShortCuts Card Blanks. This card base is clear. "Oh no! My messy hands are not going to love them!! "- that was my first thought when I got them because of the past experiences of the acetate sheets... However my fear was completely disappeared after I found out that they were fingerprint-resisitant :) Aren't they cool EVER?! I'm able to enjoy the acetates more now {Yay!} You can check more fantastic ideas with using ShortCuts product at ShortCuts Blog.

I also used ShortCuts Gift Card Holder Folders inside of the card. I just separated the part of the folder and adhered it to the back of the card front so the card was able to be opened. I used There She Goes Cupcake mix & match set to design the card front simply and colored the wedding cake with Copics & Twinking H2Os (icicles). The image has great shimmers IRL.

Stamps: Cupcake mix & match, A-Z and 1,2,3 (There She Goes)

Paper: Card Blanks clear, Gift Card Holder Folders kraft (ShortCuts), soft sky (SU), white cardstock (PTI)

Ink: Memento rich cocoa (Tsukineko), soft sky (SU), Copics (B00, 02, G21), Twinkling H2Os

Accessories: pearls (Michael's), ribbon (Dollor Tree) Tools: Nestabilities (Spellbinders), hole punch

ShortCuts Card Blanks - frosted

Hello everyone~
Here is another product I used from ShortCuts. It's called Card Blanks (Frosted) and they are heavy-weight finger resistant card base. They are also pre-scored for easy folding. Please check ShortCuts blog for more ideas :)

I used There She Goes new release, Sprea Your Wings. I stamped the butterflies on the card base with StazOn Opaque cotton white. I also stamped the big butterfly on the white cardstock and colored it with Copics. The sentiment are stamped inside. I didn't add much layers or details but the frosted card base surely makes the whole card so much prettier!!

Stamps: Spread Your Wings (There She Goes)

Paper: Card Blanks frosted (ShortCuts), more mustard, taken with teal (SU), white cardstock (PTI)

Ink: Memento rich cocoa, StazOn Opaque cotton white (Tsukineko), Copics (BG07, 11, 15, E39, YR21, 24)

OK, Here is my first project!

I used the Gift Card Holder Folder to make this holder. You don't have to measure, score or cut! Only you have to do is decorate it the way you want :) Love some of the processes can be skipped, lol.
I stamped the images from Tea For Two and colored them with Copics. I then attached the button with the vintage twine for closing.



I decorated the inside as well. Instead of inserting a gift card, I put the tea bag. You can tell my colors are inspired from the tea package, lol.

Stamps: Tea For Two, Tea For Two Special Blends (There She Goes)

Paper: gift card holder folder ivory (ShortCuts), basic black, barely banana (SU)

Ink: Memento rich cocoa, VersaMagic sahara sand (Tsukineko), Copics

Accessories: vintage button, vintage twine (PTI), rhinestones (Michael's) Tools: corner punch (Marvy Uchida)

Thank you for stopping by. Come back to see my other projects for ShortCuts & TSG again :)
