Love Under the Sea

Hi Artzy friends -

For my pre Valentine's Day card, I thought I'd use some new Dare 2B Artzy products, along with some older products, to create a mini slim love themed card. I think this card will be going to my husband, either for Valentine's Day, or our anniversary.

I started by creating my card base and cutting the two panels for my card front with the Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies. My wavy edged panel, cut out of paper from the Make Waves collection, seemed perfect to me for an under the sea card.

I stamped, colored, and diecut two of the jellyfish from the new Jellyfish stamps and die sets, and popped them up on either side of my die cut "love you" cut with the Love You Double Layered Word die.

The sentiment inside my card is from the Seahorses stamp set, another new set in the Make Waves collection of products. I cut rectangular panels with the Rectangle Framelits dies.

To complete my project I created an envelope to coordinate with my card out of papers from the Make Waves collection, using the Slim Mini Envelope dies.

I love how fun and easy it is to create a coordinating envelope for my mini slimline cards!

I hope you have a chance to check out all of the amazing new products from Dare 2B Artzy - there is so much to choose from! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Christmas in July!

 Hi Artzy friends -

Although it is exceptionally hot in many parts of the U.S. today, it is time to celebrate Christmas in July with Dare 2B Artzy!

Link your project here anytime this month, for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store.

I created this card using the new Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies to cut my background layer. 

I cut my snowflake border out of silver glitter paper using the Slimline snowflake dies. I love the versatility of a slimline die that can be used on any size card! 

The sentiment is heat embossed in silver with a stamp from the Toboggan Fun stamp set.

This is a simple card but I think it makes a big impact. And it would be an easy one to mass produce for your holiday cards!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

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!
