This whimsical guy gives some good birthday advice!

Hello, crafty Dies R Us fans! Leslie here from Love To Scrap 2 and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun birthday card featuring the Elizabeth Crafts Jungle Leaves Die Set which paired perfectly with the whimsical Chikoo stamp set in my stash! I originally was thinking child birthday (specifically one of our youngest grands) but I know some adults that would love it!


This is a clean and simple design, so let's get started!

1. Cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and front layering panel from white cardstock along with dark green front and inside layering panels, and round the bottom right corner of each. Cut embellishing strips for the inside from medium and dark green cardstock. Finally, using the Elizabeth Crafts Jungle Leaves Die Set, cut some jungle leaves from medium and dark green cardstock. 


2. Stamp the image in brown ink on the white front layering panel and color it with alcohol markers.  Stamp his right hand a second time on a piece of scrap white cardstock, color it and fussy cut it, and set it aside. Layer the jungle leaves die cuts together and adhere them to the panel. Using the Crystal Katana Pick-Up & Glue Tool, paper-piece the tiny little hand set aside earlier so it looks like he's holding onto the vine. This tool is amazing for maneuvering small paper-pieced items into place! Mask his left hand, stamp the bananas in brown ink, and color them with alcohol markers. Layer the panel onto the dark green cardstock layer. 



3. Stamp the front and inside sentiments in brown ink. Adhere the embellishing strips on the left side of the inside panel, and stamp some bananas in the lower right corner in brown ink and color them to match those on the front. Adhere the panels to the front and inside of the card base, and you're done! Super cute!

How to create a Halloween Magic Picture Changer Card

Hi Guys! I'm Debbie from Debbie J’s Crafting Corner, here today sharing how I created this Halloween Magic Picture Changer Card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

I love showing the process when I’m creating.  I hope my tutorial and video help you see that, if I can make it, You Can Too!

Like this project? Pin it and save for later 

I used the following stamps and dies from Dies R Us:

Lawn Fawn - Magic Picture Changer Dies



 Lawn Fawn - Magic Picture Change Add-On Dies




Lawn Fawn - Fox Costumes Before 'n Afters Stamps


Card Details

I’m having so much fun challenging myself to create using all of the interactive dies that I’ve bought, but not used.  Today’s card is a perfect example of this.  And it turned out easier than I thought it would.  If you’d like to see some of the other interactive cards that I’ve created lately, check out these on my blog and on my YouTube channel.

This die set makes creating a magic picture changer card super easy.  First I stamped and colored my before and after images.  Then I die-cut them using the dies in the magic picture changer die set and assembled the picture changer window.  To see how I did that, you’ll want to watch the video.

Then it’s all about decorating!  How easy is that?

Check out the video showing how I created this fantastic card!


Here are some photos of the finished card

A Doodle Rose Wreath Background with Dies R Us!

Hi Dies R Us friends! Did you know you can make a cool background using almost any die? I decided to give it a try using this cute Doodle Rose Wreath from Sue Wilson.  It's been hot here (and probably where you are, too) so I felt like a nice tropical aqua would be a nice, cool color to use.  I hope you like my card:


What I used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
White Card
Doodle Rose Wreath Die from Sue Wilson
Simply the Best Die from Sue Wilson
Dimensional Dots
Aqua Card

In progress

 The background was fairly simple; I just started cutting on a 5 1/2" x 4  1/4" sheet of white cardstock, once I was done, I trimmed it down to 5 1/4" x 4".  Some of the edges "lost" the flowers, so I took some of the cut out swirly pieces and glued them where the flowers would of been.  I put the aqua paper on the back, attached the panel onto the card base.  The sentiment was cut from the same aqua card and attached to a white back, trimmed down, which was then adhered to the card using dimensional dots.  The most important part was letting the back panel dry completely prior to trimming it so the flowers I added it didn't get torn off when I trimmed the card.  I think it came out really nice!
 

You can see the exact products I used in the picture on the right. There are SO many dies you could do this with, the possibilities are endless! You can visit the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog daily to learn all types of new and inventive ways to use your dies; my fellow teammates are very creative!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I will see you next time ~ fondly, Christi

Good Morning Farmstyle

Greetings it’s Sue here from Ully Cat's World with a barn pop-up easel card.



Using PoppyStamps’new Country Barn Pop Up Easel Set and lots of PoppyStamps’Whittle animals and sun, this is an easy card to make.



Cut:

1 - largest barn die out of brown card stock

1 - middle barn die out of cream

1 - smallest barn die out of red (Save all the doors and windows cut out for the backing of the “X” frames)

2 – small “X” window from white

1 – doors “X” die out of white

1 – roof trim die out of white

1 – straight line out of white

 

Cut animals/sun and color with markers, black gel pen and Distress Ink.

 

Glue white “X” frames to doors and window cut outs to form doors. Glue on roof trim.

 

If you plan on having doors that open, ink blend the cream barn piece edges and door/window openings.  


Using clear tape, make hinges for all the doors and windows to open.

Position and glue cow to inside of barn. Glue barn to middle cream barn piece making sure not to glue any doors that are hinged to open. Glue flying chicken inside open barn door and other animals to front of barn.

 

Glue tab of brown base piece to back of cream piece. Test the barn in pop-up easel position. Using foam squares adhere green grass with eggs glued to them to the brown base to act as easel stops. Don’t have grass in front of the door that opens. Glue sun on to back of cream piece as if sun is rising behind the barn roof. (Make sure that sun top is no higher than the roof tip so card will fit in envelope.)

 


Stamp a sentiment on card base and back flap of envelope.

 

Hope this fun card has provided some inspiration for your crafting. 😊
