Yesterday I featured 4 nuggets of cardstock inspiration and today I’m sharing 4 more.

{ Idea #5: Frame It }

From my own home … and something I bet some of you have done in your homes as well. It’s simple, really. Need a splash of color in an otherwise boring frame? Don’t want to spray-paint the frame? Just cut a piece of your favorite patterned paper to the right size and place this in the frame. That’s it. (This piece is from the Clementine Collection.)

{ Idea #6: Handmade Photo Book }

Alison in South Auckland, New Zealand: Since getting a Zutter I have been making lots of different notebooks and albums. I make my own photo albums for all those photos I want to print and keep, but that don’t make it into Project Life or our standard scrapbook albums.

I love the Project Life cardstock and the Cobalt colours went well with these photos for this little album I made. I put DuraSeal onto the cardstock (on the cover) to protect it from little fingers and to help it keep a bit longer. The photo pages have strips of cardstock glued to them and then its all punched and bound together for a very personalized album. It takes some time folding and gluing the strips but the end result is so worth it and these albums make great presents.

{ Idea #7: Instagram Backgrounds }

Lisa in New Jersey: Like many people, I am documenting our family’s year for 2012. I purchased the Clementine kit and the additional pack of cardstock and have been putting it to good use! Many of the pictures I include in our album are smaller than the 4×6″ photo pocket (some 2×3″ and LOTS of Instagrams sized 4×4, 3×3, and 2×2).

I have been cutting down Clementine Cardstock sheets to the 4×6 size and using that as the background to these smaller photos. It is quicker and so much easier than rummaging through all my other “regular” scrapbooking cardstock to find a piece to coordinate with my layout. I am enjoying this process so much! Thank you again for developing Project Life and for all the new products. It just keeps getting better & I can’t wait to see what else is on the horizon!

Peyton in Virginia has the same idea. In fact, this is a picture of her stash of pre-cut cards from the Clementine Collection of 12×12 Cardstock. You’ll notice she even cut some 3×4 cards as well.

{ Idea #8: Greeting Cards }

Naturally, cardstock is a great staple for making cute cards. Kristen Spencer in Texas says, I love to have kids’ birthday cards on hand and I think these turned out so cute! I have to say the weight and texture of your cardstock is PERFECT for the Cricut! It cuts even the tiniest details flawlessly! (Cobalt Collection shown.)
