Happy Thanksgiving!

 Hi Artzy friends -

Thanksgiving is one week from today here in the U.S. so I thought I'd share a non Christmas card!

I created my background using one of the Dare 2B Artzy Heart Duo Stencils. It was so quick and easy to apply three colors of Distress Inks with the Picket Fence Studios Paper Pouncers. Paper Pouncers are the best tool to use with delicate stencils like these, in my opinion.

My floral image is from the Breezy Blossoms stamps and dies, and colored with the Breezy Blossom stencil.

My sentiments are from the Grateful Layered Word Dies and Grateful stamp set.

I hope you all enjoy your holiday week! I am grateful for all of you!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Grateful

Hi Artzy friends - 

Today is one week from Thanksgiving! Are you ready? I am not!

But I am ready to tell all of you how grateful I am to have you in my life with this card created with products from Dare 2B Artzy.

The little tree/leaf/feather element is from the Deck the Halls stamps and dies. I stamped them in different ink colors and placed them in rainbow order in a circle, around a circle cut with a die from the Double Dot Circle Framelit die set. I stamped and die cut a snowflake from the same stamp and die set and placed in the middle of my "mandala" design.

I cut the word grateful out of glitter paper using a die from the Grateful Layered word dies set, and added it to my card along with a stamped "for you" from the Grateful stamp set. 

Join us in our monthly challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy blog for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the store! The November theme is a Non-Birthday card. It's a perfect time to link up one of those holiday cards you're working on here! 

Thanks for visiting and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful for My Friends

Hi Artzy friends - 

Today I combined several different Dare 2B Artzy products to create a quick card for a friend.

I am fairly new to hot foiling but I love using Dare 2B Artzy hot foil plates for backgrounds on any type of card. The one I used here is called Artzy Deco. I used a matte gold foil to create this background.

The flower vases and butterfly are cut from the pretty Potted Posies paper using dies from the Potted Posies and Love Grows  die sets. Both of these die sets also cut out the images from their respective stamp sets.

I applied versamark and gold embossing powder to a scrap piece of white cardstock. I cut the word thankful out of my gold heat embossed paper with a die from Grateful Layered Word Dies. The For Our Friendship sentiment is a stamp in the Grateful stamp set. All of the patterned paper I used is cut from Field of Hope, which is part of the Everything is Blooming collection.

I love all the ways you can add shine to make a simple card stand out!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Avra
