Spooky Halloween Tree

Good Monday Morning, Donna Phelan here.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 
Today I have another  Halloween card to share with you!
I used this beautiful Tree Of Life die by Cheery Lynn.  I knew if I cut it out in black glitter card stock I could make it spooky enough for a Halloween card.  I added many googly eyes to make it a bit more spooky too......no matter where you look it's staring back at you.....CREEPY!

The corner spider web is also by Cheery Lynn, it's one of 3 different dies in the Lace Corner Deco H set.  My little glittery pumpkin is by Memory Box, Plump Pumpkin.  I was going to draw a mustache on him to make him appear a bit more sinister, but my drawing skills are not that great.  lol   Sentiment heat embossed in black embossing powder.
I also made a spider....or is it an ant....by gluing  2 different sized adhesive pearls on top of my web.
Here's what I used:

Seasons Greetings

Hello everyone, Deanna here with a fun new project showing a new way to use your dies.  Here is what I made.


To get started in making this card you first need to pick out an intricate die.  You will also need your embossing powder, an embossing mat, your die cut machine and cutting mats along with some embossing ink.  I used Versamark ink. You will also need an anti-static tool to wipe down your area where you will be embossing so your paper doesn't end up with a lot of extra embossing powder on your paper.  (TIP: If you don't have an anti-static tool a dryer sheet will work as well). For my project I chose to use the Westchester Ornament Die.









Using your embossing ink, carefully ink the raised edges of your die.  You will then set up your die cut machine for embossing a die.  My set up for my big shot was my multi-tab plate, set with tab 1 up, my base embossing plate, my die on my paper cutting side up, the green (or tan) embossing mat and then my cutting plate  I ran it through my big shot.  After taking the die out of the machine and carefully lifting off the die, I sprinkled the embossed design with some silver embossing powder.


Here is what that will look like before it is heated with your heat tool.  Before heating the embossing powder preheat your heat tool.  By preheating your heat tool it will just melt the embossing powder quicker reducing the chances of warping your paper.  You can also heat your paper from the back side to help with warping.  Once the embossing powder is melted you are ready to finish your project.



Die I used:

For Someone Special

Hi Everyone!
Darlene with you today sharing a creation for your inspiration, using dies from the Dies R Us Store.  If you've not popped over to the Dies R Us Store recently, DO IT NOW!  So many newly released dies that you won't want to miss out on.



I've used new & old dies today and was attempting to use up some of the scraps I've had laying around on my work table.  For instance, the blue frame ... left over from an earlier project using Spellbinder 'Pierced Rectangles' SCD-012 dies .  The gold & green background panel for my sentiment is a Sue Wilson die set ... Canadian Collection - Toronto - CED6204.  Again using up scraps to die cut my panels.
Cheery Lynn Designs - For Someone SpecialSue Wilson Designs - Canadian Collection - Toronto

I just recently purchased this Cheery Lynn Designs sentiment die, 'For Someone Special' #B788 ... could be used in so many applications!!  TIP:  I have found when using this type of die, it looks really cool if you put a 'shadow' panel behind it by making a second cut from a darker paper.










So easy, yet so effective!!  Give it a try!!

Halloween card

Hello, friends! 
Natalya here with a Halloween card for Dies R Us Inspirational Blog
 Here's how I created this card.
I carved frames and rectangles.


 And glue them on the basis of cards.
 It will be a spiderweb in the  frame. I cut two cobwebs and glue them together, adding the middle of it the transparent thread.
 I'm glued a thread to the frame. 

 It remains to add decor...
... and apply a gloss on the parts
 That's done!




Here's the cute dies that I used: 

Hugs, Natalya!

A CAS Christmas Card

Hello, Janice here with you again to share my latest card made for the
Dies R Us Inspirational Blog.

This week I have made a Clean and Simple Christmas card, using lilac as a change
from the usual traditional Christmas colours.

I started with a white DL card base. Using lilac pearlised card, I cut a piece
smaller than the base card and glued it onto the front.

Next, using a smaller piece of white card, I positioned the
Memory Box - Small Circle Burst die on the upper half of the card
and ran it through my die cutting machine.

I then stamped the greeting, added the ribbon and the bow.
Using 3D foam tape, I positioned this topper onto the base card.

Then, using the same white card, I die cut the Memory Box - Rizza Snowflake
 five times, and glued them together to add depth to the snowflake.
I then added some Glimmer Dust to give a subtle sparkle,
and glued it in the centre of the circle burst.

Here are the dies I have used:-
