Artzy Clubhouse - December 2025

 Hi Artzy friends -

The Artzy clubhouse set this month is called Apres Ski and it's a super cute set that can be used all winter long for any occasion!

I created a birthday center step card using the Center Step die which makes it really easy to create an A2 fun fold card. I love that the card folds flat for mailing in a regular A2 envelope. 

The sentiments used are all from the Apres Ski set as well, and the snowy patterned papers are also from Dare 2B Artzy!

Stay warm and thanks for visiting!

 Hi Artzy friends -

I'm in full swing Christmas card mode!

I created this card with some festive Dare 2B Artzy products from this year and last.

The Botanical Background die can actually be used at any time of the year, but cutting it in gold foil  cardstock screams holidays to me! 

The tree and sentiment are from the Christmas Magic stamps and dies. 

The deep red background paper is from the Delivering Christmas collection.

I hope you're enjoying your holiday crafting time! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Christmas Fun Fold

 Hi Artzy friends - 

I really enjoyed making this pop out fun fold card using lots of images from the Letters to Santa stamps and dies and holiday papers from Dare 2B Artzy.

This is the front of the standard A2 card -

The card opens to reveal more cute images that pop out along a strip adhered to both sides of the card.

I decorated my 2 3/4" x 8 1/4" strip with the holly border from a 12x12 sheet of patterned paper and chose two images from Letters to Santa to pop out on the center panels of the strip. 

How are your holiday cards coming along? I could make them all year round; it's the signing, addressing envelopes and getting ready for mailing that I put off as long as possible!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Thankful For You

 Hi Artzy friends!

It's hard to believe that it's November and the holidays are quickly approaching! Does it take you by surprise every year like it does me?

I wanted to sneak in one Thanksgiving season card before I focus exclusively on the winter holidays.

This card features a wreath and sentiment from the Flower Wreath stamps and dies sets. This pretty floral can be used on cards any time of year and for any occasion! Occasionally I like to color more detailed images with colored pencils as opposed to alcohol markers, and that's what I did here.

My white on white background was created with the Trellis die.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Special Delivery

 Hi Artzy friends -

I can't decide lately if I want to make autumn cards or Christmas and winter cards!

Today, Christmas cards won, and I have a cute postage design card to share with you.

All of the images and sentiments on this card are from the Special Delivery stamps and dies sets.

I also used Square Framelit dies, Rectangle Framelit dies, and Double Dot Circle Framelit dies to mount my images on. the snowflake background is from the Festive Prints 6x6 paper pack.This postage stamp collage card was so fun to create with these adorable holiday images!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Fresh Picked Wishes

 Hi Artzy friends -

Nothing says autumn to me like a bouquet of sunflowers!

My card today is a gatefold card featuring...you guessed it - sunflowers!

My coffee can bouquet image is from the Farmer's Market stamps and dies sets.

This set has several beautiful images for fall cards, and I've been having so much fun creating with them all! 

The front of my gatefold card was created with the Quilted Flower background die, cut in half to apply to each side of the gatefold. I mounted the focal image on circles die cut with the Double Dot Circle  framelits out of papers from the Artzy Everyday Prints 6x6 paper pack.

Gatefold cards are an easy fun fold that really are fun to create!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Christmas Magic

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today we are having an Instagram hop to showcase some new holiday products from Dare 2B Artzy.

My card features images from the Special Delivery stamps and dies sets.

My background paper is from the new 6x6 Festive Prints paper pack.

I also used one of my old favorites - the Trellis Die. 

I mounted my main image on a vellum die cut from the Oval Scalloped Framelits.

I added a little sparkle and dimension with Stickles for my snow, and red enamel accents for the berries.

I think I will be reaching for this stamp set frequently throughout the holiday season!
