Diamond Wedding Anniversary

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


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 HEREHERE 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:


Remember, there is a new inspirational project shared each and every day of the month on our Dies R Us Inspiration Blog using a variety of dies from several different companies.
Then of course you'll want to come join us at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog  where there's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st & 15th of each month with a gift voucher prize to one lucky winner each challenge!

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
Dies R Us
 
 
 
Dogwood Blossom Corner
Poppy Stamps
 
 
 
 
Thanks so much for fluttering by!
 
Enjoy~~

Birthday Balloons

Hello, Janice here with you to share my latest card 


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:-

The Rose

Morning Peeps, 
Berni here with another creation for the Dies R Us Inspiration blog!  The Dies R Us on-line store carries a huge assortment of amazing dies by several manufacturers.

Project Instructions:
I wanted to use the color purple. So I found some design cardstock. I die cut the Sue Wilson mini gemini die lynx twice and decided to use one on the top and one the bottom to frame the Penny black Rose. 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

Kindly take a jog and check out all of the fabulous dies available at the Dies R Us Store; and do not forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog! A new challenge is offered on the 1st and 15th of each month with a Gift Certificate to one winner each challenge. That winner could by You!
