Wildflower Slimline

 Hi Artzy friends -

Spring weather is finally here to stay, and I'm enjoying watching everything in my yard bloom. I'm already behind in planting my pots!

I colored this wildflower image from the Wildflower Garden stamp set a few weeks ago. I actually stamped it twice to get a full slimline sized panel. I really enjoyed coloring all of these pretty flowers with Prismacolor  colored pencils. 

 

Other Dare 2B Artzy products used to create this card are the Slimline Land & Clouds Border dies as well as a sentiment banner die in the appropriate size for my sentiment, and the largest die from the Wavy Slimline Framelit dies 

I hope flower season is here to stay for a while! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Butterfly Kisses

 Hi Artzy friends -

Happy May! I hope by now May flowers are in full bloom where you are!

My card today features the Beauty of Nature stamps and dies from the latest Dare 2B Artzy release. This set is full of beautiful spring and summer images, as well some lovely sentiments.

I created a frame with the Oval Framelits dies and inserted an oval cut from vellum to mount my focal image on. I wanted to use this pretty floral paper from the Countryside Florals collection but wanted to soften it a bit behind my watering can. 

I really like how this card turned out and I think it would be great for Mother's Day! Flowers and butterflies make every card special!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Fun Fold Birthday

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I pulled out some old favorite dies to create this cute fun fold card . This card is made with the Rectangle Fancy Framelit dies along with the Rectangle Fun Fold die. 

The rectangle framelits are a great basic that can be used on just about any card. I love that the addition of a single die turns my card into a really cool fun fold!

My images and sentiments are from the Beauty of Nature and Singin' in the Rain stamps and dies sets, both of which are in the newest Dare 2B Artzy release. The beautiful patterned papers are from the Countryside Floral collection and are perfect for spring and summer cards!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Singin' in the Rain

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's April! And you know what that means! We've got lots of April showers in the forecast here in Ohio. Hoping that they really do bring May flowers...and warmer days!

My card today was created with the new Dare 2B Artzy Singin' in the Rain stamps and dies. I created a Horizontal Center Step card with a die set that will be available in the next couple of weeks. 

I love the beautiful papers in the Countryside Floral collection and will be using them on all of my spring cards!

Check out all of the great new products in Dare 2B Artzy's latest release!

Spring is in the Air!

 Hi Artzy friends - 

The calendar says it's officially spring! We can only hope that the weather follows suit!

This cute bunny, from the Honey Bunny stamp and die sets is perfect for so many spring and summer cards. I created this shaker card to wish you a happy spring!

I ink blended the Botanical Background die cut and sandwiched it between two pieces of acetate to create a shaker window. I created a frame with the Rectangle Framelits dies and added my bunny, along with my sentiment from the Singin in the Rain stamps and dies and butterfly from the Beauty of Nature stamps and dies.

Stop by the Dare 2B Artzy store to shop for brand new AND older stamps and dies this spring!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Easter Chick

Hi Artzy friends -

Can you believe that Easter is at the end of this month?!

I love that this sweet chick from the Spring Chicken stamp and die sets can be used for Easter greetings, but also Mother's Day, get well, birthdays, or just because cards!

I created this interactive card with the Pop Up Feature die set.

You just pull up on the string to reveal the messages inside, and the chick "stands up."

You can also attach the whole card element to the front of an A2 card base if you want lots of additional space for a handwritten note. 

Did you know that the Spring Chicken stamps and dies were part of Dare 2B Artzy's Stamps and Die Club for the month of February? Check out the details here to see how you can enjoy all the benefits of being a Clubhouse member!
