Hello crafty friends. I'm so happy to be sharing several projects in the coming days for Scrapbook.com, with exciting news. They now are carrying their own line of premium cardstock! The A2 size variety pack bundle is already sold out but you can visit my link and be notified when it's back in stock. There's also 12x12 inch single sheets with weight measurements between 80-100 lb. The Glimmer cardstock is 80# weight.
The cardstock comes in 5 different styles: Classic, Glimmer, Canvas, Swiss Dot and Heavyweight, with 165 total colors! Wow! Scroll down for more details on today's card that features the Glimmer A2 size cardstock from the variety pack bundle.

The glimmer cardstock colors that I'm using for today's card are:
Granite, Sandpaper, Glacier Blue and Bedazzled Blue
I'm also creating with one of the Octopus dies from the Coastal Charms die set, a sentiment from the Hooked On You stamp & die set, and the largest die from the Nested Elegant Circle Mandalas die set which measures 4.2 inches.
To begin, I scored and trimmed a vertical 5x5 inch card using white cardstock, placing the die just over the top edge of the vertical line, then die cut with my Platinum 6 die cut system.
Important tip: Stack all your paper die cuts to make sure they line up correctly before tearing your paper. I had one that was rotated differently and it didn't line up correctly. This is important so they all line up properly on your die cut shaped card.
I started by tearing my Sandpaper cardstock, then worked my way up using the other two colors. This is solid core cardstock and I love the way it looks.
Next, I made two die cuts with the Octopus die with the Glimmer Granite cardstock, trimming several of the tentacles from one of the die cuts
I didn't fully adhere my cardstock along the top edge, so I could instead apply adhesive to my tentacles and tuck them under the edge of the paper.
To ink my sentiment, I used my stamp positioner with Catherine Pooler Black Jack ink, then die cut with the coordinating dies. I also splattered some white paint and ink blended along the top of my card with Catherine Pooler On The Lake ink and blender brushes.
I had so much fun making this card and I hope it inspires you! Tap any of the highlighted affiliate products throughout this post to browse for more information or shop my affiliate supply list below. Thanks so much for stopping by!
