Here's to You!

 Hi Artzy friends -

Sometimes  a single image is all you need to make a "wow" card.  This image from Wine Between Friends was all I needed to create a birthday card that is appropriate for just about anyone.

An easel card is a quick and easy fun fold card that lends itself perfectly to showcasing a large focal point image like this one, and no dies are necessary!

Papers are from the Summer Breeze Paper Pack and the Countryside Floral collection.

An easel card stands up nicely on display and of course, I've included a spot inside for a personal greeting, using dies from Rectangle Framelits dies 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Love Day!

 Hi Artzy friends - 

Today I am sharing a Valentine's Day card that I created with images and sentiments  from several Dare 2B Artzy products. It was fun looking through my stash to find "all things love!"

I started by stenciling my background with a stencil from the Heart Duo Stencils.

I colored and die cut images from Groovy Van, Good Times Roll, Turtley Awesome, and Candy Shop. I heat embossed sentiments from the same stamp sets, and die cut additional shapes from Square Framelit dies, Rectangle Framelits dies,  Slimline Love Framelits, and Center Step dies.

The fun thing about this card is that I can give it to someone I love on any day - not just Valentine's Day!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Here's to Friends!

Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a center step card featuring the new Dare 2B Artzy Wine Between Friends stamp set.

This stamp set would also be great to celebrate the birthdays of female friends "of a certain age." (Of course I'm including myself in that group!) 

I cut the Center Step card base from blue cardstock and I used the Rectangle Fancy Framelit die to cut my image and another layer out of paper from the Summer Breeze 6x6 Paper Pack.

When I remember, I like to decorate the inside of my cards as well. 

I cut another fancy rectangle shape from white cardstock and stamped another image and sentiment from the Wine Between Friends set to complete the sentiment from the front of the card.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Happy New Year!

 Hi Artzy friends -

I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season and a happy beginning to 2025!

Today I am sharing a card created with the new Here's to You stamp set.

I made a Happy New Year card but you can use it for birthdays, anniversaries, and any other celebrations you want!

This card is a Pop-up card, made using the Pop Up Feature die set, as well as some other dotted rectangle dies. 

Pulling up on the tap reveals two surprises - the fireworks image and sentiment beneath...

as well as the clinking champagne glasses inside!

And of course, the champagne bottle pops up!

This die is so well designed; it's easy to make this cool card design, and it folds flat and fits in an A2 envelope. You can also attach it to an A2 card base if you'd like more room to write  your personal note inside.

I hope you have lots of opportunities to celebrate this year!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Avra
