Stamptember 2024 Collaboration

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's the day we've been waiting for all month long - the day our special collaboration with Simon Says Stamp becomes available for purchase!

These stamps, or the stamps and coordinating dies, are available as part of the 2024 Stamptember event at SimonSaysStamp.com, only while supplies last!

I created 3 fall tags using the images and sentiments in this set, called Sunshine.

All of the additional products I used are available at Dare 2B Artzy

My shaped tags were created with either the Oval Framelit Dies or the Oval Scalloped Framelit Dies. The sentiments were stamped on a tag die included in the Mini Gift Tags Dies set.

Patterned Paper layers were cut from the Artzy Everyday Prints 6x6 Paper Pack .

You can also find an extensive collection of Dare 2B Artzy products at Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Instagram Hop - Holiday 2024

 Hi Artzy friends -

Dare 2B Artzy is having an Instagram hop this weekend - please hop along and comment on our design teams' beautiful creations using our newest release of holiday stamps, dies, and papers!

My card was created with the new Cabin Retreat stamps and dies.

This set includes lots of wintry images and several holiday and seasonal greetings, for all of your winter time cards.

I used dies from the Oval Scalloped Framelit set to create a bold red frame for my scene. I also cut the same shape out of a pretty plaid paper from the new Winter Escape collection. I popped up the whole frame piece with some thin foam tape to my card base. 

I colored and die cut my images and then...went a little crazy with some glitter! I very rarely use glitter on my cards but when I do I go all out! Who can resist some extra sparkle and shine on their holiday snowy scene cards?!

I heat embossed my sentiment with gold embossing powder (because again - can you ever have too much shine?!) and die cut it with the coordinating die. 

I adhered all of my die cuts with a combination of foam tape and liquid glue. I think this will be a perfect card to send to my friends all season long!

Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to hop for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy shop! And shop this weekend using the code below for 15% off!

Flower Wreath

Hi Artzy friends -

I'm still having fun coloring and creating cards with the beautiful Flower Wreath set. I love that these pretty little flowers can be colored in any color palette and can be used for any occasion.

I first cut out a circle frame using  Double Dot Circle Framelit dies, and glued a few of them together to create a sturdy dimensional wreath frame. I cut several of the curved leafy sprigs and adhered them to my wreath frame. This allowed me to create a perfectly round wreath.

I colored and die cut my flower swag and adhered it to my wreath shape as well. 

My sentiment is also from the Flower Wreath set and there are dies that cut out the sentiments in the set as well.

My leafy green background paper is from the Artzy Everyday Prints 6x6 paper pack.

I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this beautiful wreath all year around!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day,

Birthday Wreath

 Hi Artzy friends -

The weather here has cooled down just a tad lately. I love the days when I can open all the windows in my house and turn off the a/c! 

In honor of the almost fall-like weather I decided to create a card with fall-like colors, although this stamp can be used year round for a wide variety of occasions!

The image is from the new Flower Wreath stamps and dies sets. I stamped my sentiment, from the Simply Birthday stamp set, using Versamark ink on vellum, and heat embossed it in gold.

The center background panel was created with the Leaf and Grunge Dots stencil and Simon Hurly Solar Paste, in the Royal Flush color.  The solar paste changes color depending on how you tilt it in the light - so cool! 

The side patterned paper panels are from the Artzy Everyday Prints 6x6 paper pack which is perfect for all of your fall card making! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
