Masculine Sympathy Card

Good morning friends ~ I'm so happy to be joining you for another  term with the  Dies R Us Design Team!  Thanks so much to Dani and Darlene for the wonderful opportunity to join their amazing team.  

Sympathy cards are never easy to make when needed so why not make a few when the sun is shining, the birds are singing and it's a good day!
I started by embossing the Frantic Stamper Sun Rays Quilted Card Panel onto white card stock and cutting another piece of white card stock using a Poppystamps Stitched Landscape die.
  
I adhered the landscape over the bottom portion of the sun rays and cut the entire panel out using an Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangle

I cut the Impression Obsession Small Deer out of white card stock and added a bit of Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink around the edges.

Once the card was assembled I added a partial stamped sentiment with the larger Sympathy Die from Tutti Designs.  This is a great set of dies as there are two sizes included so you'll always have the perfect size.

Here's a list of dies I used that can be found at Dies R Us:
Frantic Stamper - Dies - Sun Rays Quilted Card Panel  Elizabeth Craft Designs - Stitched Rectangles  Impression Obsession - Dies - Small Deer Tutti Designs - Word Set - Sympathy

Don't forget to play along at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog for your chance to win a gift voucher to the Dies R Us Store.  A new challenge begins on the first and fifteenth of every month.  Be sure to Follow Us on Facebook too. 


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit

Stamping Outside of The Box with PTI

Hello ~ Sorry for two posts in one day but I wanted to share this card I made for the Papertrey Ink Make-it Monday Challenge.  It's been a long while since I've played along with them.  Lexi has a great video you can find HERE.
The background is stamped using Background Basics Text Style and the flowers are from their recently released Courage & Kindness.  The birthday sentiment is from Birthday Basics.

I used colors from Color Throwdown
I'll also be adding this card to the following challeges:
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge ~ Happy Birthday
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Darnell's NBUS ~ PTI Courage & Kindness set

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit

Create Your Own Fringe ~ A Card of Encouragement

Hello friends~  I've got a project for the Cut Cardstock blog for you today.
Creating your own fringe is as easy as 1-2-3... literally!  I've created some pretty glittery fringe using some of the gorgeous Glitter Paper that's on sale during the month of April.
 Here's a look at today's project.  Now lets make some fringe!

Step 1.  Cut three strips of Glitter Paper approximately 1" wide.
Step 2.  Carefully snip straight lines about 2/3 of the way up the strip lengthwise being careful not to cut all the way through the Glitter Paper and going down the entire length of the strip.
Step 3.  Adhere the strips to the front of your card using 1/4 inch wide Score Tape.

I die cut brackets out of a piece of pink cardstock using Concord & 9th Friends Like You Dies and stamped a verse from PTI's New Every Morning set between the brackets.  I created a pretty black layered flower using Black Licorice Pop Tones Cardstock and Flower Petal Dies from My Creative Time.  I adhered each layer of the flower using Glue Dots and attached a shimmery gold candy dot to the center.

I hope you enjoyed today's project.  Please visit Cut Cardstock on the web for all your paper crafting needs.  You can also find us at PinterestTwitter and Facebook.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit
