Fall Gift Box

 Hi Artzy friends -

Have you seen the Dare 2B Artzy Gift Bag & Box dies? This die set is going to get a lot of use around here through the fall and winter, and all year long!

I made this little fall themed gift box using papers from the Everything is Blooming collection.

Even the tag and the "for you" is included in the Gift Bag & Box die set, and there are several styles of bags and boxes you can make, along with lots of different options for embellishments! All of the assembly instructions are on the package and you can find videos of easy to follow directions as well.

I added the floral image from the Breezy Blossoms stamps and dies. This whimsical blossom was colored with the coordinating stencil. 

I plan to fill this little box with fun treats for an upcoming birthday for someone special!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Step Panel Card

 Hi Artzy friends -

A step panel card is a 3D fun fold that is simple to create but it packs a big punch when created with beautiful patterned papers. The other cool thing about it is that it folds flat to fit in an A2 envelope (You could make it in other sizes as well.) and stands up nicely on display. 

Here are the dimensions I used for this card:

1 - Start with card base cut to 11" x 4 1/4" and score at 1/2, 2" 4", and 5 1/2"

2 - Cut 2nd panel to  3" x 5 1/2" and score at 1/2" and 2"

3 - Adhere patterned paper to each section as desired.

4 - Assemble panels and embellish.

I decorated my card with papers from the Everything is Blooming collection.

My large floral image is from the Breezy Blossoms stamp and die sets, and is colored in using the coordinating Breezy Blossoms stencil. The sunflower image is from the the Potted Posies stamp and dies sets; and the sentiment is from the Love Grows stamp set. I stamped the sentiment on a banner from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies, and I added little heart embellishment from the Groovy Party Enamel Stickers.

Thank you for visiting and have a beautiful day!

Home Sweet Home

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a slimline card created with the Dare 2B Artzy Home Sweet Home stamp set and the Little Village and die set. 

I love how fun it is to color these whimsical houses!

Another awesome thing about the dies that coordinate with this stamp set is that the same dies cut out the images in our Bistro stamps and Candy Shop stamps! How clever is that? And great for our crafting budgets!

Other products I used for this card were papers from the Everything is Blooming collection, and dies from the Wavy Slimline Framelits set. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Purse Gift Card Holder

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a gift card holder that I made for a friend using the new Purse Gift Card Holder dies, along with some other new dies, stamps, stencils and papers, and some older but so cute sentiment stamps!

I created my purse using papers from the Everything is Blooming collection. The Breezy Blossoms stamps, stencil and dies coordinate beautifully with this paper. I stenciled a flower image from the set, die cut it, and popped it up on my purse front.

I love that the purse gift card holder dies are designed to pull up a little pocket to tuck your gift card in (or a little note, etc), yet it's so easy to put together!

I added two little tags from the new Mini Gift Tags die set, and created little "faux shaker tags" by cutting a frame and layering it on top a solid tag die cut, with a piece of acetate between them. The sentiments are from the Pet Lover stamp set and worked perfectly for my gift! 

Stop by the Dare 2B Artzy store to see all of the beautiful new products! 

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Dare 2B Artzy Instagram Hop

 Hi Artzy friends -

The designers for Dare 2B Artzy are having an Instagram hop this weekend to showcase some of our newly released product. Please join us for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. You can also take 10% off your entire purchase all weekend long!

I created two cards with the new Potted Posies stamp and die sets.

Both cards also feature paper from the new Everything is Blooming collection.

My first card is an A2 size. I have no idea what this fold is called but I received a card folded similarly from a friend and I had to try it! It's simple to create but I thought it was unique; and it provides a great opportunity for layering with the beautiful new papers! I used a die from the  Rectangle Framelits to pop my image up onto. The "happiness" sentiment is also from Potted Posies.

My second card is a mini slimline card. I used the dies from the Slim Mini Flower Patch die set to cut my layers for this 6" x 3 1/4" card. The "thank you" is another sentiment included in the Potted Posies stamp set.

I hope you'll hop over to Instagram to see what the other Artzy designers have created with the newest products from Dare 2B Artzy!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
