Hello! Summer vacation is full on here, so I didn’t have much time for crafting lately. But, the newest class at Online Card Classes has started – and of course, I’m in! 🙂

As you may recall, last year I participated in two wonderful card classes at OCC. If you’re interested in seeing the cards I created during these classes, click here.

The new class is called Crushed on Cardstock, and the idea is to learn new ways and techniques for using plain old cardstock on our cards. That’s exactly what I needed for my creative mojo to get going! 🤩🤩

On Day 1, Kristina Werner showed a way to create fun colorful patterns, with stripes of cardstock. I decided to use a classic color combination of black, white and gold, to create a fun herringbone pattern for the background of my card.

The pattern was so bold and graphic, that I decided to simply add a sentiment, and my card was ready!

The gold cardstock is Tim Holtz metallic kraft-stock, and I love the shine of it!

I really enjoyed this technique, I want to try is soon with other colors too 🙂

And now, I have to go and try the other techniques from Day 1. It’s already Day 3, so I’m far behind!! 😅

Thanks for stopping by! If you want to see updates about new posts, please follow me on Instagram and Pinterest.

Have a wonderful day! ❤️
