Vellum tags

Barbara here again this week with a different take on a tag.  We use vellum everywhere, why not on a tag?  Here is what I came up with.

Take any tag die that you have, and cut a frame.  You know, put two of the dies together and 

cut them.  Like this.

Then use the large of the two dies and cut a piece of vellum.  I used my swiss dot vellum here. 

 For this one I used The Frostyville Border by Memory box.

                                                              Frostyville Border

I actually cut the border apart to fit my tag.  Once assembled, I added the ribbon and a snowflake sequin.  This one came together so fast, that I continued to make more.

I realize that with the vellum tags, you may not use them to label your gift, but they sure look good 

to make you package pretty.

For the tags here, I used another Memory box die called Alpine Trees. I just went crazy using 

scraps of paper.  Love it when I can do that.

This was a lot of fun for me and I hope that I have inspired you to make some tags today.

Perky Poppy

Hello~ Judy Woodland here again with another inspirational card for you. 

This time I am doing a little inlay work.

One of the things I love about open die images is the fact that it's so easy to do the inlay technique. I started by creating a base with black card stock, then cut a mat with red and finished off with a white panel. Then I began to create the inlay.

Here's how I did it:

 First I cut the poppy in gold foil card stock with the Memory Box Perky Poppy die. Then I cut it again in red, green and black, and saved the insides of the die cuts. 

 

The red pieces were sponged with red ink and then inlaid into the gold die cut. The black and green pieces were glued over the gold since there were no open spaces for these.

 Next I cut the embellishments in red and black with Elizabeth Crafts Ribbons and Jewels dies. I wove the two pieces together. It's very easy to do with these die cuts.

 Then I put it all together. The greeting is a Waffle Flower Year Round Words die.

These are the dies I used:

Memory Box Perky Poppy

 

Elizabeth Crafts Designs Ribons and Jewels

 

 Waffle Flower  - Year Round Words

I hope you will try the inlay technique. It's really quite easy, you can get amazing results!!

Magical Halloween

Hi all! I hope things are going well for you! This is a cute Halloween card that looks complicated but was easy to make with a few dies.  I hope this inspires you to take a look at the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog, there is a new creation to inspire you every day!  Here is my Magical Halloween card:

What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Die-Versions Whispers Creepy Gate, #DV-692
Die-Versions Sweet Petites, House with Chimney, #DVP-049

Lawn Fawn Costume Party Stamp Set, #LF1458

Lawn Fawn Costume Party Dies, #LF1459
Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Craft Border Die, Stitched Tree, #LF1236
WOW! Primary Ebony Super Fine Embossing Powder, #WHOOSF
Fence from Silhouette Cameo
Embossing Ink
Mottled Blue Cardstock
Brown, Orange & White card

Derwent Inktense Pencils

Watercolor Paper

Hero Arts Intense Black Ink

Blender Pen
Dimensional Dots

I had already colored and cut the cuties from Costume Party so all I had to do was make the background for this card. The sky is made from a mottled blue card.  I've had this cardstock for at least ten years! I often think to get rid of it, but then I come up with another card that needs a sky and I dig it out again.

As you can see, I edited the creepy gate a bit, cutting the ends and the birds to help it fit on the card better.  I cut the fence using my Silhouette Cameo and I matched it with the gate the best I could.

I had originally cut the house out of beige card, but you could barely see it (it melted into the background), so I decided orange would give the house some presence and it IS a Halloween card.  This cute little house has smoke

coming out of the chimney, which will be SO cool in the winter, but, once I put the house on the hill, the smoke was too "high", so I trimmed it off.

Once I put the background together, I added the Costume Party characters, complete with a pumpkin bucket to collect all the candy.  I hope when they finally get to the house on the hill they get lots of candy 'cause it looks pretty spooky to me!  To add a bit more interest, I used dimensional dots on  the unicorn; he sticks out a bit more than his two trick or treating friends.  He should; after all, he has the candy bucket!

I have a small giveaway going on! Just go to this post, and comment on which costume you like the best.  Open internationally and on going until I get 75 entries or November 1, 2017, whichever comes first.  

Thank you so much for checking out my latest creation! I hope you will join us on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog and then perhaps you'll take the time to whip up a project and you'll enter into the Challenge on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  Hope to see you there! Fondly, Christi

Smile card using Dies R Us

Hi.. it's Bev here today. This is my 1st DT project for Dies R Us and I am super excited to be able to share projects using some amazing products. This Smile card is the first project I want to share with you. I used a background die and the sentiment die cut. The light blue colours with white and the great bird image make for a light airy "Smile" card.

Supply List:

Dies R Us: tutti word set Smile 235, Memory Box Modern Tile Background 99295

Machine: Big Shot Sizzix

Tool: My Sweet Petunia Misti

Paper: Blue Fern Studios Wanderlust Collection

Twine: Whisker Graphics

Stamp: 49 and Market Gabi's Square Stitch 

Ink: Tim Holtz distress Vintage Photo, Memento

Other: Beacon glue, cardstock, foam

So to start this card I gathered some papers, stamps and dies together.

                        

Using 2 different colour paper I die cut my pieces for the card.

   

With a fabulous base and print paper I then stamped a mat for the fun bird in flight using My Sweet Petunia Misti board.

I die cut the tile background and glued it to the front of panel looking blue paper. I finished with some wrapped twine and tied bow. I took the stamped outer stitch looking square which I will be pop mounting the bird paper image on the centre of.

I am pleased with the colours, layers, fabulous die cuts and the fun stamp / image centre with twine tied accent and die cut "Smile" sentiment.
