Flying By to Say Hi Kits with Cardstock Warehouse

Get ready to take your card making to new heights with this vibrant and cheerful creation! I recently had the pleasure of crafting a card that all started with the incredible selection of cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse. For this project, I reached for the rainbow in their Woodstock Cardstock line, die-cutting the adorable kites from the Fly a Kite Etched Dies in a spectrum of red, orange, yellow, teal, green, blue, purple, and pink. The smooth texture and rich color saturation of this paper made each kite pop with its own unique personality. Even the kite strings, cut from Speckletone in Kraft, added a lovely contrast. Trust me, the quality of Cardstock Warehouse paper truly elevates your die-cutting projects!

To add a heartfelt message to my whimsical scene, I reached for the Soaring Sentiments Press Plate from Simon Hurley. The crisp impression I achieved on Kraft cardstock using champagne foil was simply stunning, and the coordinating die made cutting it out a breeze. For the background, I wanted to create some subtle texture and visual interest. I embossed a panel of Starch White Speckletone with the delightful Flying Kites 3D Embossing Folder. Then, using just one layer of the Layered Flying Kites Stencils and some Tea Dye Tim Holtz Distress Ink, I gently added a touch of color and definition to the embossed kites. This subtle stenciling really brought the background to life!

Putting it all together was such a joy! I trimmed my embossed panel to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 inches and adhered it to a standard A2 card base. To give the kites and the "flying by to say hi" sentiment some dimension, I popped them up with foam adhesive – it really makes them feel like they're soaring off the card! A few strategically placed Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems added the perfect touch of sparkle and shine to finish it off. If you're looking for cardstock that cuts beautifully, comes in a fantastic array of colors and textures, and truly makes your handmade cards shine, look no further than the Woodstock Collection. You won't be disappointed!
