Celebrate!

Good Monday Morning!

Back again on the Dies R Us Blog to share one last card with you all.

Today is my last post on the DRU Design Team, what a FUN year this has been. I'd like to thank Dani, the owner of Dies R Us for this wonderful experience! I would also like to thank our wonderful Design Team Coordinator, Darlene.....she was AMAZING at keeping us in line and focused. Darlene, this has been a pleasure, all because of you. THANK YOU!

I wanted to create a White on White card, I haven't made many of these in my crafting career. They are hard to photograph. And after putting it all together I spritzed it with some Gold Color Shine.

This card measures 4 1/4 squared. I started with a Spellbinders Captivating Squares die cut, actually 2 from this set, layered upon each other with a piece of Fun Foam in between. My flower is a Small Gardenia by Cheery Lynn. My foliage is by Paper Smooches, Foliage 2 and Foliage 3. I also added 2 leaves from the Poppies die set by Frantic Stamper.

Lastly I added the Curly Words - Celebrate die by Die Versions. A bunch of Adhesive Pearls for accents. I wish I had taken a photo of this prior to spritzing with the Gold, it might have photographed better.

Here's what I used:

Celebration By The Sea

Good Monday Morning!

Back on the Dies R Us Blog again! Today I will be sharing a Masculine Birthday card with you.

The dies from the Dies R Us Store made it so easy to create this Nautical Masculine card. A theme that's near and dear to my heart! I created my background using that fabulous Distress Windham Collage die by Memory Box. Lighthouse by Gina K Designs, By The Sea stamp set. Image colored with Copic Markers.

I die cut 3 of the Starfish from the Sand Dollar And Starfish set by Cheery Lynn. Check out the texture on them, perfect! I also sponged the edges a bit using Antique Linen ink. I then placed them on top of the Distress Windham Collage opening, almost looks like they have been caught in fish net. I layered the Curly Word Celebrate from Die Versions 3 times to create a chipboard like accent.

This particular die is no longer available but check out this one out, same great die, affordable price!

Wooden Celebration Tote

Good Monday Morning!

Back again, on the Dies R Us Blog! This time I would like to share a little project with you.

I found this sweet little wooden tote at my local craft store for $1. I knew with a little Designer Paper and some wonderful dies from the Dies R Us Store I could transform it into something fabulous. I think I was right!

First I painted it all white and covered it in pretty pink and white Designer Paper, wrapped a pink pleated ribbon around the top and added white sparkling glitter to the handle......and then the FUN began. I sorted out a bunch of dies I wanted to use and started cutting.

I started with this sweet little Picket Fence by Amy Design and moved right on to the Curly Words Celebrate by Die-Versions. Let me just tell you how impressed I am with this wordy die. It's fancy and delicate and perfect for....well for ANY celebration! Here I layered a pink and white cut together so it would POP and add a bit of dimension.

Next came some beautiful flowers....now I know what you're thinking....aren't those Poinsettias??? Well yes, yes they are....BUT aren't they gorgeous??? This is the Small Poinsettia Set die from Impression Obsession. I ADORE it and think it looks just lovely as 'an everyday flower'. Plus this is for my 86 year old Mother......she'll love it.....wink, wink! I die cut several out of a deep pink and light pink card stock and some beautiful Vellum. Layered them together by size, not alternating from large to smallest. Then I added some pearls for their centers.

Next up came some of my beautiful foliage. In the 1st photo you will see the fantastic Ivy Corner Flourish by Cheery Lynn. I also used the Foliage 1 die from Paper Smooches.

And for my final selection, I created a beautiful butterfly. Butterfly #2 Set from our very own line Dies R Us Dies. This set is awesome as it has five....that's FIVE different butterflies included. I layered 3 different ones together in the deep pink and light pink card stock and topped with a Vellum one. WOW!

A perfect little garden tote. I'm not sure what I will put in it as yet, probably something chocolatey.

I will be entering this into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Flowers.
