Diamond Wedding Anniversary

Hello, Janice here with you again to share my latest card

made for the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

For this card I used a white linen 8" x 6" card blank. The sentiment was generated and printed from my computer and cut to 8" x 1.75"

Next I cut a piece of silver mirri card measuring 8" x 2.5" and punched along

one edge with a Martha Stewart Lace Heart Edge border punch.

I glued the sentiment card to the mirri card and then attached it

to the base card using 3D foam strips.

Next, I cut the Cheery Lynn - Fanciful Flourish

and the Memory Box - Pippi Butterfly in silver mirri and

positioned and glued onto the card.

To finish, I added some small punched flowers and gems.

The dies I have used are:-

Butterfly Milk Carton Favor Box

Good morning friends! Birgit here with you today with a summer project for you, using some fabulous dies found in our store.

I started by cutting the Memory Box Buttermilk Carton out of a pretty sky blue Bazzill card stock. I added some fun little lattice windows using two of the die elements from Sue Wilson Designs Australian Background Die. I LOVE THIS DIE as the possibilities for cutting backgrounds is endless!

I then adhered the lattice panels on three sides of the milk carton and added a 1" punched circle on the fourth side and assembled the carton.

For the roof, I cut a Kraft card stock rectangle in the size I needed using my cutter and scored and folded it in the center. I then cut several strips of scalloped borders and cut the width to fit the roof.

I then layered them onto both sides of the roof and added a little distress ink to add some depth.

I then did some ink blending using Tim Holtz Distress Inks onto a piece of white card stock and cut the Elizabeth Craft Designs Small Butterfly from the card stock and put him together.

I decorated the front of the milk carton with a Spellbinders Corner Sprig, which is no longer available but there's some really great similar dies found HERE, HERE and HERE, some Prima flowers and the butterfly.

I used one of the Pinpoint Main Street Tags from Poppy Stamps to add a little sentiment to and attached it to the top of the birdhouse favor with some ribbon and twine.

On each of the sides with lattice, I added little Cheery Lynn Designs Nested Flower Pots that I rubbed with distress ink and added the small Spellbinders sprig and some flowers from Cheery Lynn Designs Baby's Breath.

Here's a list of products I used that you can find at Dies R Us:

Memory Box Buttermilk Carton	Sue Wilson Designs Australian Collection Background	ELIZABETH CRAFT DESIGNS - SMALL BUTTERFLY
CHEERY LYNN DESIGNS - BABY'S BREATH FLOWER KIT	Cheery Lynn Designs Nested Flower Pots	Poppystamps Main Street Tags

Layered Butterfly

Good Monday Morning!

Donna Phelan back again, to share another butterfly card with you.

I die cut the Small Lace Butterfly With Angel Wing die, by Cheery Lynn out of Core'dinations Glamorous Glitter Paper. Man, is this butterfly gorgeous.....and it is anything but small. It measures 2 3/8 x 3 3/4. BIG. BOLD. BEAUTIFUL. The lacy details are remarkable! I also used the Angel Wing die. This thing is so clever! It's really only 'half' a die. Which cuts down on your cost, what's not to love about that!!!

You just fold your card stock in half and line the end of the die up to the fold line, cut and wha la, a beautiful full sized die cut butterfly to back on to your beautiful full sized lacy butterfly die cut. CLEVER!!!

After layering my lacy butterfly cuts I thought it would be interesting to cut another, totally different shaped butterfly from some Designer Paper, and layer that on top! I cut one butterfly from the Butterfly Set #2 by our very own product line, Dies R Us Dies, from a very thick card stock that I have in my stash and then Designer Paper, adhering the 2. This made a nice sturdy chipboard-like accent. What do you think? Kind of different, kind of interesting? Kind of?

Texture added to my Blue Raspberry card stock using a Darice Lace Doily Embossing Folder. I also added an actual doily to place my butterfly centerpiece on. Beneath the doily I die cut a Spellbinders Standard Circle out of Fun Foam. This gives the card a bit more dimension and makes for a nice sturdy resting spot for my butterfly. I decorated all around with the Dogwood Blossom Corner die by Poppy Stamps, cutting several and snipping apart, placing them where I needed them.

Lastly I added lot of adhesive pearls in different sizes, including one as a flourish, to show the flight of my butterfly. A strip of Designer paper on the inside to finish the card off. I very rarely add an inside sentiment, preferring to write a heartfelt note.

Here's what I used:

Small Lace Butterfly With Angel Wing
Cheery Lynn

Butterfly Set # 2

Dogwood Blossom Corner
Poppy Stamps

Thanks so much for fluttering by!

Birthday Balloons

Hello, Janice here with you to share my latest card

for the Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

My card is 6" x 4" and I first cut the Happy Birthday on a small

piece of purple card using the Die-Versions - Corner Concepts/Happy Birthday.

Next I cut a piece of purple card to attach to the sentiment

corner, and adhered to the card base.

Using a slighter smaller piece of white card, I ran it

through my machine,using an embossing folder to add some

texture, then attached it to the purple card, leaving a small border.

Using the Elizabeth Craft Designs - Balloons die, I cut three

balloons in coloured card and three strings in silver mirri card.

I then attached them to the card with glue and 3D foam pads.

I covered the balloons with glossy accents to give them some shine

and added the tiny bow and purple gems to finish.

Here are the dies I have used:-

Butterfly Kisses

Hello everyone. I have always loved butterflies so this time I decided to do use just gorgeous butterfly dies and do some partial dies cuts. The paper is from My Mind Eye Stash that I have

The first step is do a partial cut of the butterfly on the paper. You will need to do that twice for each side. Then you use another color and cut the die to layer under the partial cuts. The die is Die-Versions Whispers Butterfly Kisses. I then added some of the dies from Trimcraft-Traditional Sentiments Dies.

Project Instructions:
I wanted to use the color purple. So I found some design cardstock.

At first, I was going to color the Rose, but decided to make it a silhouette cut in lilac cardstock and placed on the purple. For a pop of color, I placed a yellow ribbon on the stem. This can also be used anniversary or Just Because
