Yeti for Christmas!

 Hi Artzy friends -

December is here and so are the snowflakes and the holiday season!

Today I am sharing a mini slimline card that would be perfect to send to your friends to get them in the mood for a white Christmas!

This tangled-up-in-lights yeti is from the Yeti 4 Winter stamps and dies set. The icy blue trees are from the Deck the Halls and Joy to the World stamps and dies sets. 

I cut a curvy edge onto a panel of snowy background paper from the North Pole Holidays paper collection with a die from the Wavy Slimline Borders. I then adhered it onto a strip of whit cardstock and cut my background with the largest die from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies, creating a dotted edge all around my card front. 

I then stamped Merry Christmas with a stamp from the Toboggan Fun stamp set, and adhered my card front onto a mini slimline size card base. I added my yeti and trees to complete this wintery holiday card.

Our monthly challenge for November is all about tags and bookmarks. Link up your creations here for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Silver Bells

 Hi Artzy friends -

Happy November! The time has come to get to work on holiday cards, and today I have a slimline Christmas card to share using some pretty Dare 2B Artzy products.

The Joy to the World stamps and dies are great to use for relatively quick cards as these pretty images require no coloring! They can be stamped with any colored inks you may have, but I chose to heat emboss my bells with silver embossing powder. I love to emboss 2 or even 3 times to create a really dimensional metallic look, like I did here. My sentiment was also embossed in silver.

I also popped my bells up with fun foam, cutting the foam with the coordinating die. I wish you could see the dimension!

The other dies I used to create this card were from the Rectangle Slimline Framelit dies and the Wavy Squares Framelit dies. 

The background paper is from the Merry and Bright collection.

I hope your holiday cards are coming along and that you're finding Dare 2B Artzy products to help!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

A Joyful Holiday

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today the talented designers from the Dare 2B Artzy design team are showcasing some new seasonal products in an Instagram hop. 

I created this mini slimline card using a pretty bird image from the Joy to the World stamp and die sets.

The solid images in this set quickly make a big impact on your projects - no coloring required! I heat embossed my bird with Distress Embossing Glaze. By repeating my embossing ink and embossing glaze layers, I achieved a shiny "enameled" look. I wish it was easier to capture this in a photo!

To add to the festive, holiday feel of this card, I cut the Slim Mini Snowflake Background die out of silver glitter paper, and mounted it on the white scalloped layer from the same die set. The background paper is from the Deck the Halls paper pack.

Please head to the Dare 2B Artzy Instagram account to hop along for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store, and to also find the code for a sale going on this weekend!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
