We Make a Great Combo!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a super fun card to share!  There's another new die release in the store with some spectacular Circus themed sets.  They are perfect for all types of occasions!  I'm showcasing a couple of the new die sets on my card!

I used colored card stock for my die cuts from the Build-A-Burger and Circus Snacks die sets.  The die cuts were inked on the edges for added dimension.  I printed out the sentiment on my computer and used the Nested Wacky Stitched Oval to cut it out.
The adorable paper for my card base is from the DCWV Good Eats stack and it was layered on a red background.  The paper coordinated perfectly with my die cuts.
Next, I affixed the die cut oval on my card base leaving enough of the patterned paper peaking though on all sides.
The giant burger was placed on my card first which fit nicely between the sentiment and the edge of the oval die cut.
The box of fries was adhered next to the burger toward the upper edge of the oval.
The hot dog came next and fit perfectly in the empty space directly above the sentiment.
This yummy card will be perfect for Valentine's, an anniversary or just because to celebrate that special someone.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store

Ringmaster of My Heart

Happy Friday! It's Jeanne today and I have another Valentine's card for you.  However, this would also be wonderful for an anniversary or just an "I love you" card.  I adore the new release of Circus dies; they make for some really fun cards!  And they are on sale right now for a limited time!

I started by cutting my Ringmaster from white cardstock and coloring the face, hands and hair with Distress Oxide inks.

For his suit, hat, megaphone and staff, I used various colors of cardstock including gold foil for the top of his staff.

 I assembled the Ringmaster.

I used a stencil and Daffodil Delight ink to create a background.  I wanted a burst and although this is a sun burst I knew the sun would get covered up.

Using the largest of the Wacky Stitched Oval Dies I cut an oval from my stenciled background. I also cut an A2 panel from Poppy Parade (a red-orange color) and a white panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches.

Before adhering the white panel to the red I used a corner punch to give some visual interest to the panel.

Next I heat embossed my sentiment in white and created a banner by fishtailing the ends of the strip.

I assembled all the elements on the card.  With its bright colors and fun theme this makes for a very happy card!

It's A Party!

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a clean and simple birthday card using a die from the new birthday release.  This Party Mouse with Presents is adorable and makes for a very festive birthday card.  About half way through making this card, I realized that by making the presents in Christmas colors and changing the sentiment I could have a sweet Christmas card too!  How wonderful is that?
I started by stamping my stripes on a white A2 card base.
I then cut the die pieces from white card stock and used a combination of die inks and Distress Oxide inks to color them.
I stamped the sentiment in green and used the second largest oval from the Wacky Stitched Oval set to cut it out.
I glued the mouse and packages to the oval.
I used some gold cord underneath and popped the oval off of the card base using foam dots.  As a final touch I added a few gold sequins.
I hope you enjoyed today's card.  It went very quickly but I think it is very effective.  I will definitely be making this card again using a Christmas theme!

Write Your Own Fairy Tale

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with another card using the Magical Fantasy dies.  I wanted to make a card that had a "possibilities" theme to it.  I thought the combination of this die, sentiment and an old book fit that bill. 
I started by inking the background to the castle using Distress Oxide inks in various shades of blue.
I used the second largest of the Wacky Stitched Oval Dies to cut the oval for the castle.
I cut the castle pieces from white card stock and used Distress Oxides to color those as well.
I assembled those on the oval.
To create the "book" I used a weathered wood paper cut to 4 1/8 x 5 1/2 inches.  Then I cut a piece of ivory card stock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2  inches.  This gave me a little bit of the pages peeking through.  I used ink to add patina to the edges of both.  I also used two strips of "tin" card stock cut to 1/2 x 1 inches for the hinges.
I added three ovals of dark brown underneath the main oval to form the medallion.
I stamped my sentiment on ivory using brown ink and distressed the edges using Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks.
To finish everything I used two tiny screw brads on the hinges and some rhinestones for the stars in  the sky.

Sea Turtles!

Good Morning Friends!

It is Pam sharing with you on this wonderful Thursday morning!

We are getting very close to our new release for Christmas!  And it will soon be time for us to share the new dies but until then we are showing you some new ideas for those favorite dies from the past!  I live near Hilton Head Island and the area is famous for sea turtles!  So with that in mind I used our turtle die combined with a few other dies to create my card for you today!



Design Steps:
1.  Cut out 2 Sea Turtles one in green and one in brown.  Place the shell panels from the green turtle into the brown and the brown into the green.  I just taped them into place
 2.  Add a little shading to the turtles using TH inks.  Use a fine black marker to make the eye standout
 3.  Use an A2 kraft card base, cut a slightly smaller piece of white 4 x 5 1/4.  Cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of wood grain DP and cut an oval in the center using the largest of the Wacky Stitched Oval dies.
 3.  Next cut a piece of 3 3/4 x 5 kraft card stock and cut out the second to the largest Pierced Oval die in the center.  Glue it directly behind the wood grain DP as shown
 4.  On the white card stock create an inked background for the water.  Use TH inks and then splatter with shimmer water (water mixed with Perfect Pearls Powder)
 5.  Glue to the back of the wood grain DP. (Make sure not to glue to close to the oval opening so you can stick the sea grass behind the oval
 6.  Using the Botanical Garden 2 die cut out the foliage in 2 shades of green card stock
 7.  Tuck the foliage into the oval and glue down
 8.  Add the sea turtle to the card front
 9.  Take a piece of white cheese cloth and spray with a walnut stain and let dry
10.  Add the cheese cloth to the card front and then add the pearls
