Making a Colorful Card

Create a colorful card for Valentine’s Day or another special occasion with card stock from CutCardStock. #affiliate #cardmaking

with CutCardStock

Making this HUGS card with Valentine’s day in mind, it can actually be used year-round. I intend to use it for a friend that is recovering from surgery. The finished card is 4″ x 6″.

They cost nothing for you to use.
Thank you in advance for supporting this site with its use.

The card stock used for the card base is Basis in neutral. I am working with a pre-cut and folded card. CutCardStock has a ton of different colors of Basis to choose from. The colorful card stock comes from an assortment pack of Pop-Tones.

I used my Cricut Maker to cut the letters. Strategically aligning the colors, I was able to cut all the letters in one pass. I like to have a bit of additional security by using washi tape to hold the pieces in place when cutting.

The hollow letters actually leave behind another thin letter that can be used for another project.

With a bit of glue and attention to alignment, the card was easy to finish.

Diamond Painting Chart

Grab this free diamond drill color chart. What a great reference. #free #printable #diamondpainting

Have you ever wondered about the color chart used for diamond painting? The colors assigned to the drills are referred to as DMC. You might be familiar with DMC in relation to embroidery thread. It is the same color chart.

DMC (Dollfus-Mieg and Company) is a French textile company created in 1746. There are 447 different DMC numbers, meaning that there are 447 differently colored diamonds available to use when diamond painting. Any leftover drills can be combined with others from different projects if the numbers are the same.

The DMC chart makes a great resource for diamond painting, as well as needlework. You can grab this free download printable in PDF form here. [DMC chart]
