Tropical Floral Card

Tracy here today with a pretty tropical card. It's that time of year here in Florida when all the tropical flowers and plants are in full bloom.


These are the two dies I used for die cutting. I'll have links towards the end of the post.


These are all the pieces I cut from the above dies except for the leaves. You can't find that die in the store but there are so many other just as pretty leafy dies to choose from in the store.


This is the die I used to emboss the pale green panel. I ran it through my embossing machine using a rubber mat so that the die wouldn't cut through the paper.


I started with a white card base and added a yellow panel, then the embossed pale green panel and the yellow circle die cut piece went on top. I assembled the flower, rolled the petals to give it some more dimension and popped it up also. I positioned the leaves around the flower and added some orange Stickles to the flower center. 



Supplies Used:

Impression Obsession - Dies - Floral Background

Impression Obsession - Dies - Abstract Flowers

Memory Box - Dies - Large Ringlets

Best Glue Ever

Sprinkled with Love

Hi everybody! Doni here today with a Baby Shower card.
Have you heard of having a Sprinkle instead of a Shower to welcome a new baby?
This is the third baby, so they have all the major stuff.
This is what I used to make this card:
Top row is an A2 white card base, a card front panel 
of designer paper and a sentiment strip created on the computer

Middle row is 4 rectangles stacked together, a panel where I softly sponged some clouds
with distress ink, and a Lawn Fawn scalloped rectangle frame.

Bottom row is two die cut umbrellas that I colored with copic markers.
For added dimension they are also stacked 4 deep ( only the top ones are colored).
Tiny hearts from my stash finished it off.
Below are the supplies I used to make this card:
Lawn Fawn - Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames Dies
Impression Obsession - umbrella
Impression Obsession - Dies - Umbrella

So Glad You're My Friend!

Friendly greetings, fellow crafters!  It's Julie with you today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.   I have 2 different friends that I send cards to every week.  One of them is a gentlemen that just turned 98!  I started sending him a card a week when he turned 90.  It's turned into quite a tradition.  I need lots of friendship cards, so I enjoy making them!

Today, I have a friendship card with a spring twist to it:


The hardest part of this card was finding the papers I wanted to use.  I played with papers quite a while to find a combination I like.  Here's a picture of all the supplies.  I'll link everything at the bottom of this post.

I cut out all the die cut pieces.  What I really like about this craft die from Sue Wilson is that it can be used in either a portrait or landscape direction.

Here's all the pieces once they were die cut.  Then, it was just a matter of constructing the card.

Ready for sending, don't you think?

Enjoy Your Retirement

Hi friends, Steph here today with my newest post for Dies R Us.


Start by embossing the card front.  Spritz the card front with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain and allow the card to dry.  Alternatively, you could emboss and spritz a separate cardstock panel and adhere it to the card. 


Stamp image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock.  I used assorted Memento Markers to color the image, but I could easily have used Ranger Distress Markers.





Create a mask by restamping the image.  Cut around the Pelican and sand and placing the mask on the main image.  Add color to the sky and water.  Cut around the leaves so they will be free when the image is die cut.




Wrap card with white Baker's Twine.  Place the image atop a larger oval and place on the card with 3D adhesives.  Stamp phrase with black ink, mat with cardstock and add to the right corner.

Playing with Felt



Hello and WELCOME, Wendy here with a couple of felt tags that I created .

First up is this cute Teddy Bear tag using the Felt Teddy Bear Parts  from Frantic Stamper.I used several colors of brown felt ,cut everything twice and proceeded to stitch them together. I added it to a tag cut from cardstock for stability then added some felt for color and some felt roses for dimension.
 


    Next up is a tag I used last week-end for an Easter gift . The die cut is from
   Impression Obsession -Bunny . Again I started with choosing my felt color, then die cutting them out, I love that I can cut several different pieces at once , makes for a quick preparation , I decided to add Nuvo drops on the Bunnies mouth to more it more noticeable and googly eyes for fun



Thanks for stopping by today and hope you've been inspired to try a felt tag or two

Summer Shaker Card w/ Elizabeth Craft


Hi Everyone, Kristina here with a bright and summery shaker card. I made my shaker window using the Elizabeth Craft Summer Drink die set. I die cut the drink glass 3 times out of some teal card stock, and cut the center of it out using an exacto knife. This was easy to do using the score line that is already imprinted from the die for texture. I glued the 3 layers aside and then cut the actual window from some white cardstock, and backed it with acetate. 

To create the well for the skaker bits I cut the die out 2 more times from some fun foam, which I glued together, and then down to the acetate window using some strong liquid adhesive. After filling the well with sequins and other bits, I covered the panel with foam tape.



From there I filled my well with shaker bits and carefully adhered the back panel down. I used the lines on my media mat as well as a stamp-a-majig to keep it aligned and straight. 



For my sentiment I stamped and die cut it with a banner die from my stash onto some pink paper that I thought matched nicely.  


I embellished the front further with the straw and pineapple die from the die set, and adhered everything down to a 110lb a2 card base for extra stability.

Thanks for stopping by!
