Hide n Seek Birthday

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I have a birthday card created with some fun Dare 2B Artzy dies - the Hide n Seek Card die and the Candle Pocket die, along with the Happy Birthday Layered die with Balloon.

The front of my card looks like an ordinary A2 sized card. The patterned paper background is called Scoops of Thanks.

When the card is opened, up pops the greeting from behind the center panel! The Time to Celebrate stamp is from the Well Wishes stamp set, and the daisy paper is from the Home Grown collection.

I added some chunky glitter to the candle flames to really make them sparkle!

There are so many options when using these two specialty dies - I hope you'll check them out!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Hearts Shaker

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a mini slim shaker card that would be perfect for your Valentine in a few weeks!

The beautiful Slim Mini Heart Background die comes with the scalloped background die which I cut in red cardstock. I adhered two layers of the heart background together to make my shaker element a little more sturdy, and attached a piece of clear acetate to the back. I found the perfect little heart shapes in my stash to fill the inside of my shaker card!

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Well Wishes stamp set onto a piece of vellum die cut with the little scalloped rectangle from the Pop Up Feature die set.

I think this card would be perfect for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or just because! 

Join our challenge for the month of January! The theme is Winter Fun, and you'll have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store!

Spring Birthday

 Hi Artzy friends-

Today I have a cute and easy birthday card to share with you. April and May are the busiest birthday months in my family so I need to get my birthday card stash built up now! Dare 2B Artzy has some adorable new stamps to help me do that!

The Honey Bunny stamp and die sets scream spring to me, but this little bunny can be used year round, and the sentiments cover a wide range of occasions as well!

I cut a piece of white cardstock with the Leaf Background die, and mounted it on the green and white polka dot paper from the Home Grown collection of beautiful spring papers. The reverse side of the dots is the pretty daisy pattern, which I used to cut with the leaf shaped die from the Leaf Background die set. 

I heat embossed the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Well Wishes stamp set. The greetings in this set were designed to fit perfectly in the leaf shape, and can also be used on the fronts or insides of any of your other cards.

I stamped, colored and die cut the bunny,  and also heat embossed the "Hopping by to say..." on a white card stock strip.

I die cut one more orange layer with the stitched rectangle die that also comes in the Leaf Background die set and assembled my card.

I really do need to make more of these in the coming weeks!

Dare 2B Artzy Well Wishes

Hi! This is my first official blog post as a member of the Dare 2B Artzy design team, and I'm so excited to get started!
Today I am sharing a card created with the Leaf Background die. This beautiful background die was made even more versatile with the recent addition of the Well Wishes stamp set. This set has  sentiments for all occasions that fit perfectly inside the leaf shaped die.

I created the background panel for this card by ink blending various shades of blue Distress Oxide inks. I cut the Leaf Background die out of a mirrored blue cardstock and adhered it to my ink blended background. I cut the leaf shaped die out of a pale blue cardstock and stamped my sentiment on it, then attached it to my leafy background. I adhered the entire card front to a white cardstock panel and then to my card.

I hope you can see the awesome shimmer and shine!

I hope you'll check out the Leafy Background die, as well as the coordinating stamp sets, and all of the great Dare 2B Artzy products here!
