Dare 2B Artzy 2022 Favorites

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's time for my annual "Favorites" post!

Dare 2B Artzy came out with lots of great stamps, dies, and papers this year and I want to share a few of my favorite cards from the past year with you today.

First up is a slimline shaker card featuring the Mermazing stamps and dies sets.


These mermaids are fun to color and coordinate with the Make Waves paper collection.

My next favorite was a holiday card I made as part of a Christmas in July themed challenge.




This card is a mini slimline card created with the Slim Mini Snowflake dies and the trees are from the Deck the Halls stamps and dies. I'll take any excuse to make a rainbow card! 

This Purse Gift Card Holder is a recently released die set that I have already found many uses for! It's so cute and clever, and fun to create with all of your different Dare 2B Artzy papers, like the new in 2022 Everything is Blooming collection.



I completed my project with a flower from the Breezy Blossoms stamps, dies, and stencil, and a tag from the Mini Gift Tags die set.

The holiday release in 2022 included this adorable snowman from the Frosty Hello stamps and dies sets.
I created this mini slimline card and matching envelope featuring the snowman, along with the Slim Mini Envelope die set and papers from the Holiday Magic collection.



The Reindeer Games set is an oldie but a goodie and he looks so cute on this Pop Up Feature card! 


I hope you enjoyed taking a look back at Dare 2B Artzy products and projects from the past year with me.
And I hope you are looking forward to getting Artzy with some fantastic new products to come in 2023! I know I am!

Have a happy and crafty holiday season!
Thanks for visiting!

3D Christmas

 Hi Artzy friends -

I'm excited to be participating in and sharing my project with you for the Dare 2B Artzy 3D Christmas Instagram hop!

Start at @dare2bartzy on Instagram and check out all of the beautiful projects on the hop.

Comment, until December 4th at midnight, on the posts for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store, and shop with the code XMAS22 between December 2nd and 10th to receive a 15% discount!


My project is a great way to present a gift card using the Purse Gift Card Holder dies.

The video tutorial on the product page will make it super easy for to start creating with these fun dies!


I decorated my holder with  die cuts out of holographic cardstock with the Slimline Snowflake dies. I just love this versatile die set! There's so much more you can do with it than just create a slimline sized card!


Pull up on the little handle of the holder and reveal a message inside, as well as a little pocket to hold a gift card!



Papers I used are from the Holiday Magic collection (the pocket), and the Merry and Bright collection (outside of holder).

Thanks for visiting, and enjoy hopping and shopping!

A Beary Happy Holiday

Hi Artzy friends -

It's December! And that means winter and the winter holidays are right around the corner!

It's a cold and blustery day where I live today, and I'm not happy about it! But if the cold and snowy days looked like this card I'd be all for it!





I love everything about the Slimline Snowflake dies from Dare 2B Artzy, especially its versatility! I love that I can die cut the whole snowflake border and cut it down to fit whatever space I need it to. In this case I used it to create a border for my A2 card. (Stay tuned tomorrow for another use!) This set also comes with the sentiment dies seen here, as well as a beautiful stand alone snowflake, and even a pair of mittens! 
Cutting the border and sentiment out of a holographic cardstock makes this card extra shiny, reflective, and "wintery!" 



The adorable skiing bear come from the Skisons Greetings stamp and dies sets. The snowy background paper is from the Holiday Magic collection.

You can find all of these awesome products and more for your holiday and winter card making and scrapbooking here! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
