Artzy Clubhouse - April 2025

 Hi Artzy friends -

April's Clubhouse set is here and it's making me long for summer days on the beach!

I created this beachy card using images and a sentiment from the new stamp and die set called Beach Life. The "shellabrate" sentiment is from the older Seas the Day stamp set. 

 For the background I used a stencil from the Circle Duo Stencils to create the illusion of ocean waves. And I created a sandy beach with Brutus Monroe's Sand Castle embossing powder.



Be sure to check out all of the summer themed Dare 2B Artzy products for all of your upcoming summer card giving occasions!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

April Showers

Hi Artzy friends -

It is finally beginning to feel like spring, and I'm hoping all of the spring showers will soon bring May flowers and warmer days! 

In the meantime, I'm going to pull on my rain boots and splash in some puddles! OK - those who know me know that I won't really do that! I'd rather stay inside and craft! 

I created this little shaker card with the Dare 2B Artzy Singin' in the Rain stamps and dies, and the Double Dot Framelit Circle dies. 



I own several sets of circle dies, but these from Dare 2B Artzy are honestly my favorite and most-used. I love that they have the double row of stitching detail, and are the perfect size to nest and create a round frame. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Perk Up

 Hi Artzy friends -

I have seen some signs of spring here in Ohio, and I'm hoping it won't be long before it's here to stay. These cooler rainy days we're in the midst of are threatening to bring me down, but the promise of spring flowers and a delicious cup of (iced!) coffee will always perk me up!


I created this card with  Slim Mini Flower Patch dies and Brewed With Love stamps and dies, and a few Everyday Sparkle Enamel Stickers.

I hope spring has arrived where you live!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
