Coffee Date With Kathy

 I'm thrilled and honored to be Kathy Schweinfurth's coffee date today on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

When Kathy asked me to create a card featuring coffee, tea, or cocoa, I thought, "Why not all three?!"

I loved creating this card with products from Waffle Flower Crafts and Karen Burniston, as well as an embossing folder from Taylored Expressions and sentiment from Concord and 9th.

Please head over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog for more information on my card plus Kathy's beautiful card and products used!

Thanks again, Kathy, for inviting me to be your coffee date! I hope we can do it again - in person, soon!

Thanks for visiting and have a great, caffeinated day!

Artzy Clubhouse - February 2024

 Hi Artzy friends -

Have you heard about Dare 2B Artzy's new Stamp and Die Club? You can find out all about it here!

The Clubhouse set for February is called Spring Chicken, and it's got lots of adorable images and a great variety of sentiments.

Additional products used for my card are the Slim Mini Flower Patch dies, the slider channel from the Wavy Slimline Border dies, a sentiment stamp from Simply Birthdays, and banner die from Slim Mini Wavy Layers.

Watch how this chick slides over to present his chick friend a bunch of spring daisies for her birthday!

These stamps and dies will be available soon in the Dare 2B Artzy store, and I look forward to sharing more cute card ideas using these chicks!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Sparkly Birthday

 Hi Artzy friends -

You might need your shades for this card!

This card contains all things sparkly,  shiny and glittery!

My background was created with the Quilted Flower Background die and my Spellbinders Glimmer hot foil machine. I think it's awesome that you can foil with your dies!

I cut the Candle Pocket die out of a really pretty holographic cardstock, and cut the flame pieces out of blue glitter cardstock. This pocket is all ready for a gift card.

I cut the same blue glitter cardstock with the "HAPPY" die from the Happy Birthday Layered Die w/ Balloon set.

I stamped "Birthday" with a stamp from the Simply Birthday stamp set, and heat embossed it in silver.

There are so many ways to add shine to your card! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Much Love

 Hi Artzy friends -

Happy February! In the spirit of the season, I've got another  card to share that can be used for Valentine's Day, or any other occasion when you want to express your love.

I created the background with the Heart Duo Stencils - I ink blended over one of the stencils with a red ink. With the 2nd stencil I used a glittery translucent paste. I love the effect in real life!

My bird image, which I colored with Copic markers, is from the Joyful Robin stamps and dies.

I  hope this cheery bird brightened your day on what may be a gray dreary February day where you live.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
