Thanks

Hey there!
Today I'm sharing my last post as a DT member for

I have certainly enjoyed my time here
with the other DT members and wanted to say
thanks for allowing me to be part of this amazing team.
 

I decided I wanted to create an inked background for mainly white die cuts.



The die cuts I've used
Memory Box Dies - Rylan Butterfly Stem

Impression Obsession - Dies - Greetings Set


I cut each of the die cuts 3 times for a little stability and dimension.


I made a 5 x 6 1/2 inch white card base and layered
 5 x 6 1/2 inch dark purple card stock
4 7/8 x 6 3/8 inch white card stock
3 7/8 x 5 5/8 inch piece of dark purple card stock
cut the inked panel to 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches

All left to do is add the die cuts and anything else you would like for embellishment.
I added 3 enamel dots.





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.

Fantasy Birthday Card

Hey there! 
Today I'm over on the
with a fantasy themed birthday card project.

I started by creating an inked background on water color card
with sparkle pens.
I pulled pieces of black and blue card stock.


Next I did some stamping and die cutting using
LAV419 - Lavinia Stamps - Alana
Fairy Cuts Standing Mermaid Die
Memory Box Dies - Deep Sea Corner


I used black card stock to make a 4 x 9 inch card base.
I cut my inked panel down to layer on to the card base.
I strip of blue card stock was cut for the bottom of the card.
I also cut a narrow strip of black card stock
I die cut the sentiment using

I adhered all the elements from above and 
some enamel dots to complete the card design.

I used white and burgundy card stocks and 2 coordinating patterned papers.

layered behind the patterned pieces to give a little dimension.

Baby Card

Hey there!
Today I'm over on the
with a cute baby card project created with dies from 


I like trying to come up with new ways to use my dies.
Looking through my collection, I pulled out this die and
thought that these cute animals could work well peaking out
of rectangular boxes on a card.
Yvonne Creations
Baby Growth Chart is the die I used but 
is no longer available


An alternative to this die is
Yvonne Creations - Tots & Toddlers Toy Frame

I used this die set to cut the boxes
Tutti Designs Dies - Nesting Stitched Rectangles


And I needed a sentiment
Tutti Designs Word Set - Baby

I pulled out white card stock, cut to 9 x 8 inches and 
folded in half along the 9 inch side to
form a 9 x 4 inch slimline card base.
I chose a patterned card stock and a solid to coordinate.

I covered the card base with the solid and printed card stocks.
I added ribbon over the border on the printed paper.
I did my die cutting, cutting 3 of the growth chart, 3 rectangle frames created
by taping 2 dies together and 1 baby sentiment


Next I took the 3 growth charts and cut apart to fit the frames

I added the cut die cuts to the frames and backed with
a little color solid card stock


I adhered the completed frames to the card front and added
the sentiment, a bow and pearls to complete my design.

 play and create with your dies and we'd love for you

Love

Hey there!
I'm on the Dies R Us Blog
 with an inspiration card created with dies from 

Valentine's Day is less than a month away so
this card is suitable for that or any other occasion.


I did go with pretty traditional colors for Valentines, red, white and pink card stocks


I die cut rectangles, squares, hearts and a love sentiment.

My 5 x 6.5 inch card base was made with red card stock.
I cut white card stock to 4.75 x 6.25 inches and adhered to the base.
Next came the 2 die cut rectangles, layered and added.


The pink and white squares were layered and added


I finished by adding the sentiment across the center of the squares,
a strip of red card stock along the bottom of the rectangles, 
added 3 of the die cut hearts and design is complete.
 





The dies used:
Tutti Designs Stitched Rectangle Die Set


Jeanine's Art Dies - Landscapes Square



Gemini Die - Love

Memory Box Mini Heart Collection
