Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope you all have a fun filled day. I made this card by embossing the little hearts using Provo Craft's embossing folder. I then cut out Cupid and matted him onto the sentiment label. The satin ribbon is tied with a double bow and accented with a floral die-namic rose and Melissa Frances pearl.

I Love You!

Hi There! This is Kim here to share a fun Valentiine's Day card. Nothing says Valentine like Cupid's arrow. This is another quick and easy card to make.I start off by embossing the white cardstock with tiny little hearts. I then die cut Cupid and the frame. Cupid is adhered to the frame using 3-D tape. The ribbon adds a nice shimmery touch and accented with a heart brad. To finish it off I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and rounded the corners with a corner rounder.

Lawn Fawn Sunday

Hi there and thanks for stopping by! 

It's Ceal here, hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend and ate plenty of turkey, Today I am sharing  some Lawn Fawn goodies with you.  Love this little owl and there is a coordinating die to go along with it. I used some Lawn Fawn paper  cut with the Die-namics Blueprint 15 and twine. I added a little Canvas Corp clothes pin to finish it off.

Monster Mash

Hi there it's Ceal, here to share a site Halloween card made with a cute Lawn Fawn set, Monster Mash. This was a super simple card to make for the background I used the "Goop" die from My Favorite Things.  Halloween is not too far away so make sure you stop by to get our supplies to make your cards. 

Happy Stamping 

Something's Brewing

Happy Sunday!

It's Ceal here with a fun halloween card made with My Favorite Things Die-namics.

This card was so much fun to make, I started out with a white card base and cut some design paper from best creation. I used the "goop" Die-Namic to cut it at an angle. The fun caldron is also from My Favorite things. I just had to cut out some "goop" in the green glitter paper for my potion. The cute greeting is from Memory box. 

Terri is also using these dies in her class tomorrow and there's a few spots left so come join the fun! 

Let Freedom Ring

Independence Day is right on the doorstep.  And our focus this month is on patriotic themes.  I'll start off with this card...

I love red, white and blue!  And I got a brand new stamp set from Technique Tuesday on Monday that I decided to use for this card.

So, how did I make this one?  I started with a navy blue A2 card base.  The red star paper was cut 4 x 5-1/4 to leave a border.  Then the fun began.  I cut two flourishes from the Die-namics Fancy flourish die.  After playing around with how to arrange them, I traced off the center line with pencil onto the red star paper, then cut on the line and glued the sheet to the card base.  I trimmed the flourishes where they overlapped and attached them along the curved line of the red paper.

Next I cut stars with the Sweet and Sassy star dies and stamped the images from Technique Tuesday's My Hero set on the diecuts.  They're attached with dimensionals.  The sentiment is also from the My Hero set and is heat embossed.

This card is very mailable! No extra postage charges.

I guess that about covers it...  Happy 4th!

Supplies:
Navy and white cardstocks
Patterned paper from Authentique: Pride collection
Stamp set from Technique Tuesday
Star Dies from Sweet and Sassy
Flourish die from MFT Die-namics
Embossing powder from WOW

A Butterfly of a Different Color

Here's another one for you to try...

 

This one is a bit more ornate, but still somewhat easy to execute.

 

The card base is vanilla and to make the designer paper panel, I used a piece of cardstock with the two papers layered onto it.  That gave me a stiffer panel to handle the twill tape that was tied on next.

 

The diecut butterfly is done in kraft and white papers, and I sponged the white paper with a blue-green ink to match the papers (it does match, regardless of how it looks in the photo!).  The butterfly is sprayed with Glimmer mist after gluing it together.  Just a bit of shimmer!  I cut the swirl die once and cut it into three pieces for what you see here.  Pearls were added last.

 

Supplies

Vanilla cardstock

Designer papers from Authentique (Promise Two) (top) and Glitz (Uncharted Waters) (bottom)

Fancy Flourish Die from Die-namics, butterfly die from Impression Obsession

Twill Tape from May Arts

Pearls from Zva Creative

Springtime is here!

I do like spring!  I like being outside.  I wish I had a garden.  I just don't like bugs.  They make a mess of my car when I drive.  They want to be in the house...maybe they just want a warm night.  And I really don't like caterpillars...but I love butterflies!  They're so pretty!

This one is an orangey-red...like oriental poppies.  I used the complementary color of a greenish-blue to sponge the front panel.  The swirl die is in an avocado green textured cardstock.

Now, I was trying to give the impression of white fuzzy flowers on that flourish.  Don't know if I accomplished my goal. ;)

By the way, the card base here is narrow.  I think I cut it 4 inches wide instead of 4-1/4 and the greeting is wider, with the ends even with the edge of the card so the middle pops up. 

 

Supplies:

 

Butterfly Die from Impression Obsession

Flourish Die from Die-Namics

White, Red, Black, Avocado cardstocks

A Gorgeous Patterned Paper

So, I said that I would show you the "front" of that lovely Glitz patterned paper that I used to make the flourish on the butterfly last week.  This card uses it. 

 

 

The color is actually in a gradient from light to dark on the paper...just gorgeous!

 

The die is a Die-Namics die from My Favorite Things, called Fancy flourish.  The tips of the swirls are accented with pearls from Zva.  And the ribbon is a luscious wide silk-look ribbon from May Arts.

 

Hope you enjoy this simple, but elegant card.  Have a great week and I'll have more for you next Friday.

Lovely IO butterfly die!

I'm back again with some new goodies from the store.  I love being able to actually go in and pick out what I want.  So much better than online...sometimes!

Today I have a card with a yummy two-part butterfly die from Impression Obsession.

 

 

I've been searching for a butterfly...any kind works...but this one is just lovely.  The two parts to the die are the whole butterfly background, red in this instance, and the detail-cut upper layer, which I did in black.  The butterfly is popped up on dimensionals.

 

There's a second die on this card, too.  It's the Die-namics Fancy Flourish.  It's cut out of the back side of a Glitz Design patterned paper.  I'll show you the front side next week.  The chevron paper is Echo Park Hippity Hoppity.  There's cute bunny silhouettes on the reverse.

 

Supplies:

Cardstock in White, Red, Black

Designer papers from Echo Park and Glitz Design
