Impossible Birthday Card

 Hi Artzy friends-

Happy new year! I love the holiday season but I also love getting back into my craft room and spending some time by myself playing with my stamps and dies!



Something I usually find myself needing to do at the beginning of a new year is building up my stash of birthday cards. I've spent the past several months exclusively making holiday cards and my supply of other cards has been dwindling.

I love that many of Dare 2B Artzy's holiday stamps and dies can be used all year long!

I created this birthday card with the new Impossible Fold Die and the Baking Sweet Memories stamps and dies. 


The sentiments are stamped from the Simply Birthday Stamp set. I can see myself using this stamp set on just about every birthday card I make! 

The Impossible Fold die set comes with many "extra" dies that can be used to cut layers for this fun little pop up card, and on all of your other cards and scrapbook layouts as well! I used papers from the Home for the Holidays collection, many of which can also be used year round.


 
This card folds flat to fit in an A2 envelope for mailing, and "pops up" when you take it out of the envelope. It's so easy to create with this die set!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Jolly Holiday



Hi  Artzy friends -

I'm winding down my holiday card making and am ready to start addressing envelopes. that's my very least favorite part about sending out holiday cards. I wish I could just keep creating with these cute images and pretty papers from Dare 2B Artzy!


My card is a Center Step Card and my images and sentiments are from the Season to be Jolly stamps and dies sets. The patterned paper is from the Home for the Holidays collection.

The Center Step dies make it easy to make a really impressive card that folds flat for the mail, and stands nicely on display.



I hope your cards are coming along, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

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!
