Purse Gift Card Holder

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a gift card holder that I made for a friend using the new Purse Gift Card Holder dies, along with some other new dies, stamps, stencils and papers, and some older but so cute sentiment stamps!

I created my purse using papers from the Everything is Blooming collection. The Breezy Blossoms stamps, stencil and dies coordinate beautifully with this paper. I stenciled a flower image from the set, die cut it, and popped it up on my purse front.

I love that the purse gift card holder dies are designed to pull up a little pocket to tuck your gift card in (or a little note, etc), yet it's so easy to put together!

I added two little tags from the new Mini Gift Tags die set, and created little "faux shaker tags" by cutting a frame and layering it on top a solid tag die cut, with a piece of acetate between them. The sentiments are from the Pet Lover stamp set and worked perfectly for my gift! 

Stop by the Dare 2B Artzy store to see all of the beautiful new products! 

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Dare 2B Artzy Instagram Hop

 Hi Artzy friends -

The designers for Dare 2B Artzy are having an Instagram hop this weekend to showcase some of our newly released product. Please join us for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. You can also take 10% off your entire purchase all weekend long!

I created two cards with the new Potted Posies stamp and die sets.

Both cards also feature paper from the new Everything is Blooming collection.

My first card is an A2 size. I have no idea what this fold is called but I received a card folded similarly from a friend and I had to try it! It's simple to create but I thought it was unique; and it provides a great opportunity for layering with the beautiful new papers! I used a die from the  Rectangle Framelits to pop my image up onto. The "happiness" sentiment is also from Potted Posies.

My second card is a mini slimline card. I used the dies from the Slim Mini Flower Patch die set to cut my layers for this 6" x 3 1/4" card. The "thank you" is another sentiment included in the Potted Posies stamp set.

I hope you'll hop over to Instagram to see what the other Artzy designers have created with the newest products from Dare 2B Artzy!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Beautiful Day

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a slimline card created with some fun new Dare 2B Artzy products.

Most of us know that for many Dare 2B Artzy stamp and die sets, there is paper that also coordinates and you can cut many of the images right out of the paper - no stamping, no coloring, easy peasy!

Now we have another product to add to the Breezy Blossoms images that make an additionalway to create a beautiful card with no coloring! Check out the Breezy Blossom Stencil! Dare 2B Artzy has made it easy to line up and rotate the stencil with your stamped images to create these fun florals in any colors you like! 

I die cut the images twice, once out of fun foam, and mounted my stenciled images on the foam to add dimension to my card.

The patterned paper, cut with a die from Wavy Slimline Framelit dies, is from the new Everything is Blooming paper collection.

My sentiment is from another new stamp set, Love Grows.

I hope you'll check out these beautiful new products at Dare 2B Artzy. Be on the lookout for another post tomorrow, as well as a hop over on Instagram featuring all of our talented designers!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Coffee Date

 Hi Artzy friends -

Who wants to go out for coffee? I prefer iced anytime, (iced mocha!), but especially when the weather is in the 90's, as it's been here in Ohio for the past few days!

I created this card inviting a friend to get together using the Center Step die set from Dare 2B Artzy.

I love that this die set makes it so easy to create a fun fold card, that folds flat to fit into an A2 envelope. And it comes with several additional dies that allow you to embellish your card with lots of fun layers!

My image and sentiment are from the Bistro stamp and die sets. The stamp set has some really fun images to color, as well as some really cute sentiments!

The plaid background paper is from the All The Buzz collection.

The challenge for the month of June is Masculine. Link up your masculine themed card here for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. 

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Sea You Soon

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I am sharing a fun slimline triple flap card using images from the Sea Horses stamp and dies sets. 

I used dies from the Wavy Slimline framelits and the Rectangle framelits to cut some of my layers out of papers from the Make Waves collection. 

After constructing my triple flap card front out of white cardstock I adhered my patterned paper layers. I cut the word Hugs 3 times with the word die from the new Mini Hugs Tag Die set and adhered them together to add dimension. I added that and two of my colored and die cut sea horses to the fronts of the three flaps.

Beneath my three flaps I added two sentiments from the same stamp set as well as my third sea horse. This interactive card would be appropriate for just about any type of celebration!

I just love Dare 2B Artzy's paper collections. They coordinate so well together that mixing and matching the different patterns is a breeze!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

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!

Did you know that we have a challenge each month on the Dare 2B Artzy blog? The theme for the month of May is Flowers. Just link up your flower themed card here for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store!

Thanks for visiting, and have a Mermazing day!
