Perk Up

 Hi Artzy friends -

I have seen some signs of spring here in Ohio, and I'm hoping it won't be long before it's here to stay. These cooler rainy days we're in the midst of are threatening to bring me down, but the promise of spring flowers and a delicious cup of (iced!) coffee will always perk me up!

I created this card with  Slim Mini Flower Patch dies and Brewed With Love stamps and dies, and a few Everyday Sparkle Enamel Stickers.

I hope spring has arrived where you live!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Artzy Clubhouse - February 2024

 Hi Artzy friends -

Have you heard about Dare 2B Artzy's new Stamp and Die Club? You can find out all about it here!

The Clubhouse set for February is called Spring Chicken, and it's got lots of adorable images and a great variety of sentiments.

Additional products used for my card are the Slim Mini Flower Patch dies, the slider channel from the Wavy Slimline Border dies, a sentiment stamp from Simply Birthdays, and banner die from Slim Mini Wavy Layers.

Watch how this chick slides over to present his chick friend a bunch of spring daisies for her birthday!

These stamps and dies will be available soon in the Dare 2B Artzy store, and I look forward to sharing more cute card ideas using these chicks!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Good Times Roll

Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a slider card I created with the cute roller skate image from the new Dare 2B Artzy Good Times Roll stamps and dies.

I began by creating a mini slimline sized panel for my card front using the Slim Mini Flower Patch dies and backed it with a panel of Peace and Love paper from the new Feelin' Groovy collection. I then cut a slider opening with a die included in the Wavy Slimline Border dies set. 

I assembled my slider mechanism using some little MFT Spin and Slide Discs and foam tape.

I attached my colored and die cut roller skate to the front of my slider, as well as a flower and gold heat embossed sentiment (I love that a die is included to cut out this sentiment!) to my card front. 

I then attached the entire panel to some Groovy Blooms paper and adhered my card front to a mini slimline card base. It's so fun to slide the roller skate back and forth across my card!

Dare 2B Artzy Instagram Hop

 Hi Artzy friends -

The designers for Dare 2B Artzy are having an Instagram hop this weekend to showcase some of our newly released product. Please join us for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. You can also take 10% off your entire purchase all weekend long!

I created two cards with the new Potted Posies stamp and die sets.

Both cards also feature paper from the new Everything is Blooming collection.

My first card is an A2 size. I have no idea what this fold is called but I received a card folded similarly from a friend and I had to try it! It's simple to create but I thought it was unique; and it provides a great opportunity for layering with the beautiful new papers! I used a die from the  Rectangle Framelits to pop my image up onto. The "happiness" sentiment is also from Potted Posies.

My second card is a mini slimline card. I used the dies from the Slim Mini Flower Patch die set to cut my layers for this 6" x 3 1/4" card. The "thank you" is another sentiment included in the Potted Posies stamp set.

I hope you'll hop over to Instagram to see what the other Artzy designers have created with the newest products from Dare 2B Artzy!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

BFF Birds

Hi Artzy friends -

I love how some of the new stamps and dies sets from Dare 2B Artzy coordinate so well together. I also love how, just by changing the sentiment, the images lend themselves to cards for so many occasions!

These birds are from the new Scandinavian Songbird and Joyful Robin sets. 

Check out all of the sentiments included in these two sets!

My birds are sitting on a Slim Mini Flower Patch die background, and the light blue layer is cut from a die in the Slim Mini Wavy Layers set. The sentiment strip is from the Wavy Slimline Framelits die set. 

I know you will find loads of occasions to create cards for using these two new bird themed sets!

It's Summertime!

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I have a summery card, filled with two of my favorite summertime features -  flowers and ice cream!

I created the striped background of my shaker and the first layer of the card with Sweetmobile paper. The stitched pink ice cream layer was cut from Sprinkle on Top paper, using a die from the new Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies. 

The front of the shaker was cut with the new Slim Mini Flower Patch die. I filled my shaker with lots of pastel colored sequins, and colored an ice cream cone from the Turtley Awesome stamps and dies. 

My sentiment was from the same stamp set. The little tag die is the smallest die in the new Rectangle Framelits die set. I love that little "something extra" in this set, and I love that the rectangles all have stitching on the inside and at the outside of the shape.

I created a matching envelope with the new Slim Mini Envelope dies, using the same papers from the Ice Cream Social collection.

I hope you are enjoying your summer, and that it's filled with flowers and ice cream!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
