Smooth Sailing

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a card made with another brand new stamp and die set from Dare 2B Artzy's new collection!

I also learned a new to me technique for making a slider card - no additional dies or coins needed!

The stamp set is called Set Sail, and I used the sailboat and sea gull images and sentiments from that set.

Clouds are from the Curve Slimline Border dies. I cut the "water" using a die from the Wavy Slimline Border Dies out of paper from the new Coastal Getaway collection.

The little white bands are what the sailboat is attached to; they loop loosely around the sentiment strip allowing the attached image to slide. 

Do your summer plans include any time on the water? It's my favorite place to be!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Enjoy the Ride

 Hi Artzy friends -

And just like that, it's August 1st! In the "good old days" kids where I grew up didn't have to go back to school until after Labor Day. But now it seems that kids go back earlier and earlier, and summer goes by way too quickly.

Temperatures, however, have been firmly planted in the 80's and 90's for much of the U.S.  So let's squeeze in every bit of summer fun while we can!

My card features a new Dare 2B Artzy set called Water Adventure, and it's full of fun summer images and sentiments, perfect for birthdays and other occasions.

Other Dare 2B Artzy products I used include clouds from the Curve Slimline dies  set, a stitched curvy  border from the Wavy Slimline Border dies, and an older Artzy paper.

I hope you take some time for adventure and to enjoy the ride as summer wanes!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

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.

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!

You Are Mermazing

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a fun slimline shaker card to tell you how Mermazing you are!

The mermaids in the Mermazing stamp and die sets are are so fun to color because there are no rules - you can go crazy! Purple hair? Why not?!

For the frame of my card I used two dies from the Rectangle Slimline Framelits. The wavy "horizon line" was cut with a die from the Wavy Slimline Border Dies.  The waves paper is from the Make Waves collection. I just love these papers for ocean themed backgrounds and more! 

I added some goldfish and other little sea critters from the Sea Horses and Jellyfish stamps and die sets. I created a well with foam tape to fill in with some water colored sequins. I like shaking it around to reveal the little hidden creatures! 

There's even one peeking out from behind this mermaid's tail! 

I know I'll enjoy creating with items from the Making Waves collection of stamps, dies, and papers all summer long!

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!
