Holiday Instagram Hop

Hi Artzy friends -

It's time for the Dare 2B Artzy holiday hop over on Instagram!  Join us for a chance to win a D2BA gift card, and use the coupon code XMAS24 for 20% of purchases on December 6-8, 2024.

I created two little gift boxes that I plan to use for gift cards for my kids for Chanukah, which happens to begin on Christmas this year! How fun is that?!

The boxes were created with the Gift Bag and Box die set out of white cardstock. I used the layering dies included in the set to add D2BA wintery patterned papers.

My images are from the new Smitten stamps and dies sets. This set will be getting a lot of use in my craft room throughout the holidays and all winter long!

Don't forget to hop along; and visit our Artzy Community Facebook group as well, for more chances to win! Happy shopping, and stay warm and cozy!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Avra

Bee Mine

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I have a card that can be used for Valentine's Day, or any day that you want to express your love with a handmade card!

Speaking of love, I'm in love with the Dare 2B Artzy Heart Duo Stencils! With two stencils full of hearts, you have many options for creating "love-ly" backgrounds! 

For this card, I enjoyed trying out Simon Hurley Lunar Paste in Game Over. It's difficult to photograph but you really get a nice shine with these pastes. 

I colored and die cut the bees from Buzzy Beez stamps and dies and popped them up onto a vellum heart cut with a die in the Gift Bag and Box die set.

My sentiment was created with the Love You Double Layered Word Die. I used vellum for the shadow layer of my words as well, to let as much of my background shine through as possible.

I hope you will get out your stencils and play with different mediums! Dare 2B Artzy has some great stencils to choose from!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Dare 2B Artzy 3D Instagram Hop

 Hi Artzy friends -

Join me and the other Dare 2B Artzy designers for an Instagram hop this weekend featuring 3D projects created with the holidays in mind!

I created 3 different gift bags and box using one die set, the Gift Bag & Box Die, and paper from the festive Home for the Holidays collection.

There are so many "extras" included in this die set that can be used on a variety of cards and projects all year long, including two sizes of tags, two different cut out shapes, a scalloped square, and more!

The little gift box would be perfect filled with chocolates or some home baked treats!

I created two different types of gift bags - one with a closed flap, and one with an open top.

I added an adhesive velcro closure on the flap of the closed bag to hold it shut. I would love to fill this with individually wrapped candies, like chocolate kisses, that can be seen through the cut out heart window I created.

The open top bag would be perfect for little hand sanitizers, lotions, etc, or of course...chocolate! I think it would make a cute teacher gift!

Be sure to hop along on Instagram Friday, December 1st - Sunday, December 3rd of a chance to win a $20 gift card to the Dare 2B Artzy store.  We will also have a giveaway in our Facebook group, Artzy Community. Please join us there! 

We are also having a sale, %15 off all orders with code XMAS23, December 1st - 9th.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

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!
