Birthday Fun Fold

 Hi Artzy friends -

Have you ever watched Cindy's lives on Monday nights? You can find them both on the Dare 2B Artzy Facebook page, and on YouTube, at 8:30 ET, most Mondays. Cindy shares lots of inspiration and tutorials using Dare 2b Artzy products. She recently showed how to create this fun fold that I hadn't seen before, so I had to jot down the measurements and try one of my own!

I used the Beauty of Nature and Beautiful Inside stamps and dies, and the Square Framelit dies.  I also used patterned papers from the new Coastal Getaway collection. 

This is a simple fun fold card with lots of space to decorate and layer with images and papers.

I'm sure I'll be turning to this fold often!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Celebrate Summer

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's hard to believe that it's July already - the heart of the summer! Thankfully my fun adventures for this summer all lie ahead but I would also enjoy some laid back days here and there; everything seems so hectic and over scheduled!

My card today is perfect for any summertime event you may be celebrating.

I used patterned paper from the Coastal Getaway collection, and created the upper portion of my background with a stencil from the Star Duo stencils. I heat embossed the fireworks image from the Here's to You stamp and die sets with different colors of embossing powders and glazes. I also stamped and die cut my sentiment and its banner with the same set. 

Stay safe, wherever your summer celebrations take you!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Avra
