Magical Christmas

 Hi Artzy friends -

Some time ago I was playing with the Dare 2B Artzy Night Sky Hot Foil Plate after learning that you can hot foil onto heat resistant acetate. I just loved the result and was waiting for just the right opportunity to use it on a card. It doesn't look like much here...

The card I created uses one simple Christmas Tree image from the Christmas Magic stamps and die sets. 

The Wishing you a magical Christmas sentiment is from the Rockin' Holiday stamp set and I think it's a perfect sentiment for this card!

I created a a frame from silver mirror cardstock using the Rectangle Framelits dies and glued it over my acetate. I popped up the frame and acetate onto my card base, giving the illusion of a shaker card. No shaker bits were necessary though because the silver foiled stars give all the sparkle needed! For one more touch of silver shine I heat embossed my sentiment using silver embossing powder. 

I wish you could see this simple shiny card in person!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Rocking Christmas

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I have another card for you featuring the new Rockin' Holiday stamps and dies. 

This set is versatile because it can be used for both holiday and non-holiday cards.

This time I made a Christmas card by adding a strip of Peace Love Joy paper behind the rocking horse. The green striped paper is the back side of the O' Christmas Tree paper. Both are from the Merry & Bright collection.

My sentiment strip is cut with a die from the Wavy Slimline framelits dies.

I stamped the ornaments from the stamp set to add a little interest to the inside of the card.

To finish off my card I popped the rocking horse up on an action wobble! So fun!

The theme for our challenge this month is cards for Babies/Kids/Teens. Link your card here for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

You Rock!

 Hi Artzy friends-

I can't believe September is here! The D2BA challenge this month is cards for babies, kids or teens. 

I think my card today would be appropriate for just about anyone who is young, or young at heart!

This cute rocking horse is from the new Rockin' Holiday stamp and die sets.

I love that this set can not only be used for holiday cards, but all year round, just because!

I created an easel card using the Wavy Square Framelits and Wavy Square Fun Fold die. 

These dies make it easy to create a fun card with a big impact!

The yellow patterned paper is from the Lemon Bliss collection.
