Dare 2B Artzy 2022 Favorites

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's time for my annual "Favorites" post!

Dare 2B Artzy came out with lots of great stamps, dies, and papers this year and I want to share a few of my favorite cards from the past year with you today.

First up is a slimline shaker card featuring the Mermazing stamps and dies sets.

These mermaids are fun to color and coordinate with the Make Waves paper collection.

My next favorite was a holiday card I made as part of a Christmas in July themed challenge.

This card is a mini slimline card created with the Slim Mini Snowflake dies and the trees are from the Deck the Halls stamps and dies. I'll take any excuse to make a rainbow card! 

This Purse Gift Card Holder is a recently released die set that I have already found many uses for! It's so cute and clever, and fun to create with all of your different Dare 2B Artzy papers, like the new in 2022 Everything is Blooming collection.

I completed my project with a flower from the Breezy Blossoms stamps, dies, and stencil, and a tag from the Mini Gift Tags die set.

The holiday release in 2022 included this adorable snowman from the Frosty Hello stamps and dies sets.

I created this mini slimline card and matching envelope featuring the snowman, along with the Slim Mini Envelope die set and papers from the Holiday Magic collection.

The Reindeer Games set is an oldie but a goodie and he looks so cute on this Pop Up Feature card! 

I hope you enjoyed taking a look back at Dare 2B Artzy products and projects from the past year with me.

And I hope you are looking forward to getting Artzy with some fantastic new products to come in 2023! I know I am!

Have a happy and crafty holiday season!

Thanks for visiting!

Ready for Winter?

 Hi Artzy friends - 

I'm really not ready for the snow and cold. But it doesn't matter - it's coming whether I like it or not! I may not love winter weather but I do enjoy making winter cards, especially when I have adorable images to create them with!

This cute snowman from the Frosty Hello stamps and dies sets is prepared with his hat, scarf, and warm beverage! The trees and sentiment are from the same set.

My two background layers are cut with the Slim Mini Snowflake Background die set. I used a white glitter cardstock for the snowflake layer. I also cut a snowdrift out of white glitter cardstock using a die from the Curve Slimline Border set (and cut it down to fit on my mini slimline card) My sentiment banner is from the same die set.

I hope you enjoyed this card, and that you are staying warm and cozy, now and in the months to come!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day.

Hooray!

 Hi Artzy friends -

Happy New Year!

We made it to another year! That alone is cause to celebrate!

The Dare 2B Artzy challenge this month is Winter Fun. Dare 2B Artzy has lots of great products for winter cards! This card features Yeti 4 Winter. This stamp set is a perfect example of images and sentiments that would be appropriate for holiday cards, as well as all season long!

                  

The other wintery products I used on this card are the Slim Mini Snowflake Background die, cut out of white glitter cardstock, paper from the Snow Much Fun collection, and various snowflake dies.

The stamped and diecut "celebrate" is from the A Single Greeting stamp and die sets. In this versatile sentiment set you can find greetings to use for almost any occasion!

A Joyful Holiday

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today the talented designers from the Dare 2B Artzy design team are showcasing some new seasonal products in an Instagram hop. 

I created this mini slimline card using a pretty bird image from the Joy to the World stamp and die sets.

The solid images in this set quickly make a big impact on your projects - no coloring required! I heat embossed my bird with Distress Embossing Glaze. By repeating my embossing ink and embossing glaze layers, I achieved a shiny "enameled" look. I wish it was easier to capture this in a photo!

To add to the festive, holiday feel of this card, I cut the Slim Mini Snowflake Background die out of silver glitter paper, and mounted it on the white scalloped layer from the same die set. The background paper is from the Deck the Halls paper pack.

Please head to the Dare 2B Artzy Instagram account to hop along for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store, and to also find the code for a sale going on this weekend!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
