How-To
Create your base with the largest die from the Squared Squares Die Set.



This  card was actually simple to make once the idea came-together.  The focus was on stack-layering all the diecuts for depth and dimension.


I wanted a net background but did not have a netting die on hand, so I created my own netting background using the diagonal cutting die. It was cut side by side several times until I could cut-out a large enough piece to cover the back of the nautical frame for the look. 

I hope to have inspired you and that you'll give these fab cutting dies a try!

Fall Happy Birthday card

Colleen here from Scrappin Granny sharing a fun fall card with you.




I started by using Distress Oxide inks on cardstock.  I used the following inks:  Iced Spruce, Wild Honey Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint and once that was dry I added some Perfect Pearls, Cappuccino by Ranger on top of the inked cardstock.









Once everything was dry I added the African Border die by Amy Design to the top of the card.

Next I used a scrap of cardstock and used  Wild Honey Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint and once it was dry I cut out some leaves using dies from Cheery Lynn.




I cut out a button using the Buttons 3 dies by Cheery Lynn.  I glued a twine bow on top of the button.




Finally, I use the Small Dragonfly die by Cheery Lynn.  

My final item is a piece of burlap on top of the cardstock and then started adding everything to the  the card.

Shell-A-Brate In Style!

Donna Phelan back again. This card was 'wicked fun' to make.  

A little water coloring, a lot of die cutting and lots of gluing.....FUN!!!

I saw this technique by Jen McGuire, it will make you look at your die sets in a whole new light, a bright, shiny, full of possibilities light lol  You can check out her video HERE!  It's her second card, which starts at just about the 7:44 mark.  




Here I have die cut all of my shells that I think I will need from water color paper.  I have used the Die Versions Whispers Scallop Shell , Cheery Lynn Sand Dollar Starfish--which is no longer available, and Frantic Stamper Dies Beach Comber Icons.  




I then water colored each die cut.




I then glued each die cut, making two panels that I would use as my 'gate fold'.




  
The 'gate folds' were scored on each end and adhered 
to the card base using the Best Glue Ever.





Using Twine and Plastic Pearl Beads I created my fun string of pearls closure.




It actually works!





 Stamped the inside with a pretty shell border and my 
Happy Birthday Shell-A-Brate sentiments.  




So. Much. FUN!



Thanks for popping in!

Enjoy~~
