Christmas Wreath Card

Hey there!
It's my turn to share some inspiration over on the

I created a Christmas Wreath Card project.


Wreaths are actually one of my favorite kind of crafts to make,
so I thought adding one to a card would would be a good way
to use some of my dies from Dies R Us!

I started, as always, by gathering the materials I thought would work well..

Red metallic card stock 
Green matte metallic card stock
Brown glitter card stock
White card stock
5.5 x 5.5 card base
Red Organza Ribbon
Stitched Square Die Set
Stitched Round Die Set







I pulled out the dies and cut


Next I started layering the base.
The red was adhered to the card.
I die cut a square and matted with the green card stock.
I added the circle die cut to use as a guide for building the wreath.


I started the wreath by arranging and gluing the brown pine cone die cuts.

Next, I layered 3 of the die cut flowers, added pearls to the centers, made the bow
and attached over the pinecones. Then I added the sentiment
to the card center.


I finished by adding the smaller flowers and leaf die cuts.




I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to
 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 
to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. 

There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.

Fall Scrapbook Layout

I am excited to be sharing my first project as a member of the Cut Card Stock Design Team! You can see this project on the Cut Card Stock Creative Blog as well as other inspirational posts from the other DT members! And, I also invite you to check out Cut Card Stock for great products that can be used on any of your paper crafting projects. I've linked to the products I used on my scrapbook page below.

    ________________________________________________________________

Do you have a favorite season or time of year? I love parts of every season, but as a resident of Colorado, I have to say that fall is my utmost favorite! That’s the time of year the aspen leaves change and turn the mountainsides to gold. I love taking photos of this phenomenon every year and have created a 12 x 12 inch scrapbook layout to share some of my favorite from last year.

I started by choosing my photos and some card stock in beautiful fall colors from Cut Card Stock – Canvas Textured Ginger SnapCanvas Textured Adobo OrangeStardream Metallic Gold. I also used an ivory card stock and 2 patterned papers on my project.

I used the Canvas Textured Ginger Snap Card Stock as my base. The ivory card was cut to 11.5 x 11.5 inches, the Canvas Textured Adobo Orange to 9.75 x 9.75 inches and the patterned paper 9.5 x 9.5. All were layered.

Next I matted the photos with the Canvas Textured Adobo Orange card stock and die cut some foliage using the Stardream Metallic Gold card.

I cut a strip of orange card stock into a banner shape. I adhered a wide strip of coordinating patterned paper, the photos and a smaller strip of orange card onto the base.

I decided on a title and die cut using the Canvas Textured Adobo Orange and Stardream Metallic Gold card stocks.

Now I’m ready to add the die cuts and finishing touches of buttons and twine.

I hope I’ve inspired you with this project! If so, please leave a comment below and we would love for you to connect with us on our Facebook Page.

Bird and Blooms Birthday Card

Hey there! 

Today I'm sharing what I call a bird and blooms birthday card project I created using a variety of die sets from  Dies R Us on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

I chose some metallic and glitter card stock and a coordinating print and white.





I knew I wanted to put a rectangular frame on the card and chose some dies that 
I thought would work well for my design.





I added the frame I created by using 2 rectangular dies.

Next I started arranging the flowers and leaves on the frame.

I decided I needed to add a little more color so cut the corner die
I used again out of the metallic paper and cut apart pieces to add.
I basically cut out the holly leaves, as this is a Christmas themed die
and my card is not. Just an example of how to use parts of die cuts
rather than the whole thing, which will make your dies go farther.

I also layered the Happy Birthday dies for a little more color and dimension.

This is the finished product.







I hope I've provided some inspiration for you to
 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you 
to come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. 
There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.
