Fairy Centerpiece

 Hi there!

I'm sharing a DIY project today on the

CutCardStock Creative Blog

created with Stardream Metallic Card Stocks from

CutCardStock.

If you know a little girl that would like a fairy themed birthday party this project would be perfect for a centerpiece. I created 5 wands and arranged in the container. The wands could even be given as party favors!

I started with some beautiful Stardream Metallic card stocks, STARDREAM METALLIC AMETHYST, STARDREAM METALLIC SILVER, STARDREAM METALLIC PUNCH , STARDREAM METALLIC KUNZITE

I die cut 4 fairies, 4 scalloped circles and 5 regular circles and punched 10 1 inch circles using the metallic card stocks.

I picked out 2 printed papers from my stash that coordinated with the metallic card stocks. From the printed papers I cut 10 strips 12 x 1 5/8 inches. These strips were scored along the 12 inch edge every 1/2 inch and accordion folded.

I created rosettes with the scored strips by attaching 2 strips into a circle and adhering to the punched circles.

I attached the rosettes to the scalloped die cut circles and I adhered the regular die cut circles to the top of the rosettes. These layered pieces were then attached to a small wood dowel, which painted silver.

I added the fairy die cuts next with foam squares.

Now I need a container to hold the wands so I chose a popcorn jar and decided I would cover it with 2 pieces of silver tissue paper.

I placed the jar in the center of the 2 pieces of tissue paper and brought the ends up to the mouth of the jar and tied with a piece of tulle. I added 3 pieces of floral foam to the inside of the jar to hold the wands.

I put together a 5th wand with a "Happy Birthday" die cut. I used some BASIS BLACK 80LB CARDSTOCK with the metallic card stock and one of the printed papers. I arranged the wands in the container and decided to add ribbon and tulle to the tallest wand. I also added some tulle over the opening of the container to mask the floral foam and my centerpiece is complete.

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.

Snowman Hello

Happy Wednesday!

Just popping in to quickly share a card I created using

Hello Frosty Snowman 

from Polkadoodles.

I had a lot of fun making this card!

I started by coloring the digi with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cutting.

I took watercolor paper for the background and

stamped the tree from the  Winter Flurries Stamp Set 4 times

using different green inks.

I then inked the background with blue inks.

I hand cut some white card stock to form a snowbank along

the bottom of the card.

The sentiment was printed from

Winnie Celebrations Kit 2 Sentiment Pack.

I cut the into a banner shape.

I know you'll find something you'll love!

Birthday Penguins

Hi there!

Today's my day to share some inspiration for

Digi Doodle Studios!

 

I've created a fun birthday card using

Wintertime Penguins Pairables!

I love these little guys!

They are just too cute and who doesn't love penguins?

I colored with markers and fussy cut.

I ised a glitter card stock for my background for a little wintery shimmer.

I die cut the border up top and the sentiment.

I used plain white card stock and hand cut to

create a snow bank effect on the bottom of the card.

A litte sparkle pens was used there as well.

There are 3 sequins to embellish the lower right hand side.

Christmas Bells Card

 Hey there!

Today I'm on the

Dies R Us Blog

 with a Christmas card project using dies from

Dies R Us.

I've made quite a few Christmas cards this year and

it is easy to create something pretty quickly with die cuts.

I gathered:

Silver Metallic Card

Silver Glitter Card

Navy Blue with Silver Polka Dots Card

White Card Stock 

I chose dies from 3 die sets:

Tutti Designs - Ringing Bells

Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Card Set Dies

Memory Box Dies - Merry Christmas Swash Scrip

I die cutting the glitter and printed card

I wanted to add a little color to some of the die cuts

so I pulled out alcohol markers and colored.

The glitter card I used colors up really well.

This is much easier and quicker than cutting the die cuts

several times and piecing together, which is always an option.

Next, I adhered a 5.5 x 5.5 inch piece of glitter card,

a 5.25 x 5.25 inch piece of silver metallic card  

and the printed die cut piece of paper

to the 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base I made with the white card stock.

Start adding your other die cut pieces

And you're done!

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. 

For your convenience, all the important Dies R Us links are provided below.

Beccy's Place Home for the Holidays

I'm back again today for another post!

Beccy's Place.

 Home for the Holidays Digital Stamps

When you purchase this digital set you will receive a zip file containing:
- 2 black and white line drawings

I colored both of the digis for my cards with Prismacolor Premier Pencils.

I've included a color chart for the second card below.

I did some embossing and lightly sanded on the first card.

The second card was created by die cutting an ornament shape.

Both of the images were fussy cut and adhered to the cards with foam tape

for a little dimension.

Snowmen Frosty Hugs

Hey there!

I'm popping in for a quick post to share

another card using a new digital from

Polkadoodles!

Snowmen Frosty Hugs 

I tried to give a "snow globe" effect on my card.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut the image.

I die cut 2 circles and layered.

The sentiment was printed, die cut and layered behind the other circles.

The background was embossed with color applied to the embossing folder

with an ink pad for a letterpress effect.

I cut some narrow rectangles to create a snow globe base.

I die cut a small heart, applied to the base and added a bow.

I hope you'll take look at all the new

Too Cute Frosty Winter Smiles Downloads!

They are really fun to use for projects!
