Cardstock is something I can never get enough of. I spent years collecting it in every color imaginable, only now I tend to use more neutral backgrounds like kraft, white, black and vanilla. What should you do with all those colors? Let's see what we can come up with.
I usually stay away from super bright colors, but when I got this bright orange cardstock in a kit, I just had to use it. I created a mask and used some white spray mist to tone it down a bit, and I was really happy with the result.
I also love using Core'dinations Cardstock, because of the different colored core. It enables you to get so many different looks. This one I placed a heart cut out under the Core'dinations and sanded it, then cut out patterned paper to fill it up.
For this next layout, I used mostly cardstock as my embellishments and only a few strips of patterned paper.
I cut several phrases using my Cameo, then made the snowflakes using a punch.
Another fun way to use up some of that cardstock is to make cards. Here is one I made out of cardstock and stamps.
The very talented Christine sent along a few of her "cardstock only" creations. How fabulous are these cards?
Hope this gives you a few ideas for using up that cardstock. Don't forget about the challenge to take home a $35 gift gertificate to Chic Tags.
