Happy Halloween Treats

Hey, Donna Phelan  back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog, this time with some sweet treats!  No tricks!

 

Let's get right to some spooky good fun!

 

I made these super cute Treat Tags.  To create the bases I used the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags.  I then decorated each one a bit differently for variety and added some fun ribbons!

 

My Tags with 'critters', Birds, Cat & Spider will be entered

into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, All Creatures Great And Small.

 

 

 

 

Impression Obsession Birds I cut them in Black to mimic Ravens.

I stamped a few sentiments from the Gina K Designs stamp set Wicked in Raven Black ink and decorated with some fun Halloween Designer Papers.  Created a 'pocket' with a strip of Designer Paper to tuck my candy into.  So easy!  

 

Then I just added my sweet treats to put a smile on the recipient's face. 

These are for my Mom and her Peeps, they're going to love them!

Bird Tapestry

Good Morning!

Back again on the Tutti Designs Blog

 

When I saw this gorgeous Bird Tapestry die I knew I could use it for several different types of cards.  It would work well for a Wedding card or Sympathy.  And here I have used it as a Christmas card.  I love the unique dies the Tutti Designs Store has to offer and I love the wide variety of uses you can get from ONE die.  That's more bang for your money for sure!

 

 

 

 

Check out the size of that die cut,

it covers the entire front of my card, which is an A2, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. 

 

I adore that pretty detailed die cut border framing in the beautiful birds and flourishes.  I only added a bit of Sheer Ribbon and some Adhesive Rhinestones as accents.  Using the traditional Red, Green and White Christmas color combo, really puts the Merry into this Christmas card.

 

The birds in flight are so magical.  My Rhinestones hi-light the pretty posies.

 

I am letting the die do all of the work, just letting it shine in all it's glory!

I used the Swirly Thanks die in three different colors.  I only add a bit of texture with a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, a strip of Designer Paper and a few small Adhesive Pearls.  Just check out the beauty of that Swirly Thanks die.  The font, the flourish and the pretty flowers.  Super pretty!
