Hello, Beautiful Butterfly

Back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

Today I am sharing an All Occasion card with you all!

I started with these beautiful Papers by Authentique, The Gathering. 

The Dies R Us Store carries so many Paper Pads of beautiful papers.  Using the Circle Link Embossing Folder I added texture to my background.  I die cut 2 of the paper designs using the Tutti Designs Cross Stitch Nesting Rectangles in 2 different sizes. 

Offset and layered these rectangles together and added a Memory Box Orbitz Circle die cut from Teal card stock beneath.   

I die cut my Crafty Ann  Butterfly from Orange card stock.  Cutting the Sue Wilson Rustic Twig Wreath from Teal card stock I then layered that with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die with another pretty paper design.  These die cuts were layered all together and the Butterfly was adhered using a Foam Square for a little dimension.

My sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on to

a Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags die cut.  

Sheer Ribbon, Buttons and Twine accents.

Candy Dots coated with Glossy Accents.  

A few layers and a bit of dimension.

This card will also be entered into the following Challenges:

Giraffe Family

Donna Phelan back again.

Today I am sharing a sweet little Baby Shower Card with you all.  They are so FUN to make and send to the new happy soon to be sleep deprived couple.  lol  

This couple does not know what they are having so I used all neutral colors in creating it.

We have 'a thing' in my house about Giraffes so I started with this adorable Poppystamps Giraffe Trio, they make a perfect little family.  I distinguished each one by simply choosing the appropriate color, Blue for Dad, Pink for Mom and Yellow for the sweet little Baby.  I placed the happy family on a Tutti-Designs Nesting Stitched Banners die cut, which I layered. I also added a bit of texture to each Giraffe die cut using a Darice Embossing Folder.

*** Hey did you know the Dies R Us Store not only carries a wide variety of fantastic Dies, but it also carries Embossing Folders, Paper Pads, Inks, and Adhesives to name just a few of your paper crafting needs.  Click right HERE and you will see a whole list of amazing products that the Dies R Us Store carries at amazing prices! ***

Using the pretty Penny Black Heart String die, each cut out in card stock matching  the Giraffe Family.  My sentiment is stamped in Wild Wasabi ink, heart in Pink Pirouette.  Which I then cut out using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags.  I added a few little accents; Gingham Ribbon, Flower Button and Twine and some tiny yellow star confetti to my background paper.  

This card will also be entered into the Poppy Stamps Challenge, Framed.

Vitamin Sea

Donna Phelan back again.

Today is actually my Hubby's birthday, but I am not sharing a birthday card with you lol  Go figure! 

I do however have a Nautical Beach type Masculine card to share.  

I Need Vitamin Sea

How to create a wood grained background.

Inks in; Teal Blue, Dove Grey and Timber Brown.

For my Nautical Wood Grained Backgrounds I always use a Blue hue.  I love the weathered look you can achieve with this color.  My background paper measures 4 x 5 1/4 inches and I score it every 1/2 inch.  Then I just swipe my ink pads directly to the scored paper several times in each color until I get the result I like.  My Tag is die cut using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags.  This I scored every 1/4", and inked in the same manner as my background paper.  The Tag has been layered 3 times on White and Navy card stock.  

Using the Cheery Lynn Lighthouses I die cut it 3 times and adhered all together, this creates a wonderful chipboard like piece. I then backed it with some Gold Glitter Paper to show each light. 

This is a fabulous die set, it has TWO Lighthouses in different sizes,

a great buy for your money! 

My Anchor is by Sizzix, it was an old one I had in my stash.  But the Dies R Us Store has so many of them to choose from, click HERE.  Adding a Ribbon Tab and an Eyelet to my Tag for accents, I also Heat Embossed my sentiment in White Powder. 

Inside I stamped an anchor in Teal Blue.

This card will also be entered into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes!
