Farm Fresh Hugs

 Hi Artzy friends -

The weather has changed here in Ohio just enough to start feeling like fall - cool nights and warm sunny days.  It won't be long before the leaves will start to turn and fall, and pumpkins and apples will be plentiful at farm stands and markets.

I created my fall card with the Farmers Market stamps and dies, as well as the Rectangle Fancy framelits, and paper from the Artzy Everyday 6x6 paper pack.

I think this card would be perfect for just about any fall occasion!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Pinwheel Card

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today's card is another fun fold, called a Pinwheel Card!

Here it is - pictured from above -

My card features the Lemon Twist stamps and dies, along with paper from the Coastal Getaway collection. All images and sentiments are heat embossed.

The card folds flat and will easily fit into an A2 envelope.

Here are photos of the four sections of the pinwheel card, both standing up, and laying down :

#4 - The final portion has room for a personal message and signature.

Another Fun Fun Fold!

 Hi Artzy friends -

 A friend of mine shared a video of a fun fold with me and I just had to give it a try!

Once again, I have no idea what it's called, but it's a version of a gatefold card and I really like it! It's a perfect card to show off some of Dare 2B Artzy's beautiful patterned papers, from the Coastal Getaway collection! 

My floral image and sentiment are from the Beautiful Inside stamps and dies sets.

I also used the Double Dot Circle framelits, which are honestly my favorite nested circle dies!

There is a nice large space in this card for writing your personal message, or even adding another stamped image.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Birthday Fun Fold

 Hi Artzy friends -

Have you ever watched Cindy's lives on Monday nights? You can find them both on the Dare 2B Artzy Facebook page, and on YouTube, at 8:30 ET, most Mondays. Cindy shares lots of inspiration and tutorials using Dare 2b Artzy products. She recently showed how to create this fun fold that I hadn't seen before, so I had to jot down the measurements and try one of my own!

I used the Beauty of Nature and Beautiful Inside stamps and dies, and the Square Framelit dies.  I also used patterned papers from the new Coastal Getaway collection. 

This is a simple fun fold card with lots of space to decorate and layer with images and papers.

I'm sure I'll be turning to this fold often!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Celebrate Summer

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's hard to believe that it's July already - the heart of the summer! Thankfully my fun adventures for this summer all lie ahead but I would also enjoy some laid back days here and there; everything seems so hectic and over scheduled!

My card today is perfect for any summertime event you may be celebrating.

I used patterned paper from the Coastal Getaway collection, and created the upper portion of my background with a stencil from the Star Duo stencils. I heat embossed the fireworks image from the Here's to You stamp and die sets with different colors of embossing powders and glazes. I also stamped and die cut my sentiment and its banner with the same set. 

Stay safe, wherever your summer celebrations take you!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Zest the Way You Are

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today's card is an Impossible card, which is actually really easy to create with this die set! 

There are lots of layering dies included in the set, which makes it useful for just about any card or scrapbook layout you are making!

Images and sentiment are from the Lemon Twist stamp and die sets, and papers are from the Coastal Getaway collection.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

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!
