You're Magical

Hi Everyone! Monica from HeartcraftPaper I'm so glad that you could join us today at Dies R Us! I'm excited to share with you a lovely little card that I hope inspires some happiness and brings a bit of joy into your day. With all that we have going on around us, it's extremely important to see the good in things and smile often.

Today I'm using a cute die from Tutti Designs. It's the most adorable unicorn die and I found to be perfect for the quilting Technique. This will be my focal point for this card.

Supplies:

Tutti Design: Unicorn Head

Lawn Fawn: Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables

Lawn Fawn: Puffy Cloud Borde Die

Lawn Fawn: Fancy Folded Banner Dies

2 - 3.5 in x3.5 in size White Cardstock

1 - 3.5 in x 3.5 in Black Cardstock

Distress Oxide: Worn Lipstick

Distress Oxide: Carved Pumpkin

Distress Oxide: Squeezed Lemonade

Distress Oxide: Cracked Pistachio

Distress Oxide: Tumbled Glass

Clear Wrapping Tape

Liquid Glue

Double Sided Tape

3D Foam
Lilac Floss
Scissors
Needle
Glue Dots

First die cut the Unicorn Head Die out of white cardstock.

Next, create a rainbow on the second piece of white cardstock using Distress Oxide.

Then die cut the Unicorn Head. We will be keeping the negative pieces for this.

Set aside the actual unicorn piece for future use.

Now, place the white die cut face down and insert the rainbow negative pieces into their allocated spots. This will now make it easier to tape up if you don't have to flip over the piece. As you go begin to tape your pieces in place so they do move.

Place the die cut facing up (flat side down) on the black cardstock.

Using a pencil trace around the die. No need to trace the inner portions.

Once cut out, adhere the Unicorn Head to the black cut out with double sided tape.

Use liquid tape on the areas that didn't have double sided tape to make it stay down.

Moving on to the Background of the card. I die cut white cardstock using Lawn Fawn's Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Stackables and then used Distress Oxide (Tumbled Glass) to add color to it since I did not have the exact color I wanted in my stash.

Make clouds for the background using iridescent mylar paper with the Lawn Fawn's Puffy Cloud Border Dies. Die cut white cardstock as well to allow the iridescence to show off better. Using small glue dots down the center of each cloud piece, adhered the white card stock to the iridescent mylar.

Using lilac floss, sew all along the boarder using the die piercings. Start in the lower right corner, all around and finish off with a bow.

Attached the blue background to the A2 card base using double sided foam.

Using more of the double sided foam attach the unicorn piece to the center and 1/2" from the top of the card.

Using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Folded Banner Dies, die cut using the second die for a hand written sentiment. I figured "You're Magical" would fit the card theme perfectly.

Finally add a few simple embellishments with some iridescent sequins. Use small glue dots to adhere the sequins to the card face to your liking.

Here is what the final piece will look like!

Thank you for visiting! I hope that you have found some inspiration for these wonderful dies.

XOXO - Monica (HeartcraftPaper)

Hoppy Birthday

Hello, it's Angie here with my first post for the Dies R Us Inspiration team! I'm so excited to be here and to be working with this wonderful group of crafters and am really looking forward to sharing my creations with you! Today I have a birthday card that I made for one of my great-nieces using lots of goodies from the Dies R Us store. Here it is:

And here's how I made my card:

1. I stamped and die-cut bunnies from the Lawn Fawn Upon a Star stamp set and die set.

2. I die cut both borders from Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders from green card stock.

3. I cut some of the tulips from the Lawn Fawn Meadow Borders set from colored card stocks but I wasn't happy with the colors I had. So, I pulled out my Distress Inks in Tattered Rose and Victorian Velvet, a small paint brush and some water to make some watercolored paper in pinks.

When I was happy with the color, I dried the watercolored piece and used it to cut the tulips with the Lawn Fawn Meadow Border die set.

4. I used all 3 dies that come in the Lawn Fawn Puffy Clouds borders to make masks so I could make my sky with lots of clouds. I used a Tim Holtz inking tool for that.

The inks I used were the mini Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Salty Ocean.

5. I decided to use the "happy birthday" sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Party Animals stamp set, but I wanted to change the "a" in "happy" to and "o" since I had bunnies on my card!

6. I practiced on some plain white paper, inking up the stamp and wiping away the "a" until I was sure I could do it okay. Then I stamped it on my card front - so you can see I also erased part of the "p" too! (Better safe than sorry!) I used a extra fine point black Sharpie to make the "o" in "hoppy." Next, I used Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, water and a small paint brush to color the bunnies a light gray.

7. I die cut lots of black and white butterflies with the Poppy Stamps Butterfly Sprinkles die and stacked them on top of each other for some interest. Then I laid all my pieces out to decide exactly how I wanted it to look and took a picture of it. This way I could remember exactly where to put everything. I used liquid glue and some Thermoweb Foam Squares to pop up some pieces.

8. Lastly I added Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to all the die cuts (except the grass) and added a thin strip of black and white striped paper from my stash at the bottom.

Here's a closer view so you can see the sparkle!

And here's my finished card:

This card was so fun to make and I hope I inspired you in your crafting adventures!

Remember, Dies R Us store carries much more than just dies so check it out HERE and happy crafting my friends!

Thanks!

Snail Mail For You!

Hi crafty friends!

Stacey back with you today to share a card that I created using some fabulous dies and stamps that can be found in the Dies R Us Store.

I'm making it my mission to be better about sending more happy mail starting in August. In order to do that, I need to build up my stock a little. lol!

I started by pulling out some dies that I thought would be perfect for the card I had in mind. They were the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and Lawn Fawn Happy Mail dies. I die cut all my pieces and started assembling.

Here is a look at the completed card:

The mailbox was so super easy to put together! I decided to put a greeting along the edge of one of the hillside borders and heat emboss it in white. The greeting and the cute little snail came from the Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens stamp set. Once my card was finished, it still didn't look finished to me so I decided to add some fun Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Borders to the top of my card to complete my little scene that I created. Adorable!

Here is a quick peek (with links) at the products that I used on my card that can be found in the Dies R Us Store.
