Candy Hearts for anyone! ~ DRU

Happy New Year to each and every one of you!  As we say goodbye to 2021, I look forward with hope to what 2022 will bring.  My hope is that you all are healthy and find much joy in the days and months ahead.

Dies R Us is ringing in the new year with a new challenge and new challenge themes!  Some months it will be "Anything Goes" and other months it will be following the holidays and seasons.  Next month the challenge theme will be Valentines/Love so you can get a head start on those lovey~dovey cards!!

This month's challenge however, is "Anything Goes".

I've been a bit slack in the craft room lately as my son and daughter-in-love came home for Christmas.  It's been almost two years since we've seen them, so I was so very thankful to have them home.  Needless to say, that my design team projects are woefully behind so today's card is CAS.

These Candy Hearts from Lawn Fawn were all that I needed for this quick and easy card.

  

I did a wee bit of water coloring and paint splattering on the background, otherwise no explanation needed.  ;0)

I hope you'll visit the Dies R Us Challenge Blog for more inspiration and join in on the fun.  There's always a gift card to the store for the randomly selected prize winner.

Spellbinders Invitation ~Eyelet Lace Frame ~ Garden Shutters

Good morning friends~ 

This is my last post for 2021 as I eagerly look forward to what 2022 will bring.  I'm super excited to be staying on with Spellbinders but I'll be switching gears, designing with the amazing Becca Feeken Club Kits and the Card Kit of the Month.

Today's project uses Becca's Eyelet Lace Frame from the Garden Shutters series.  It is truly a stunning die set and is timeless in style.  This set of seven thin metal dies is full of layering rectangles that can sweetly frame any card. It also pairs perfectly with Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies and Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7" Card Base Etched Dies.  You can view the Daisy Delight shutter card I made in a previous post HERE.

I added Cinch and Go Flowers and the delightful bird from Just A Tweet, which was a past Large Die of the Month.  But, did you know you can purchase past club kits without having to sign up for the monthly kit??  

Here's a list of handy links that will bring you directly to the products I used in today's project:

Daisy Delight ~ Spellbinders Invitation ~ Garden Shutters

Good morning friends~  I'm happy to be sharing this sweet, interactive card with you today, that I made using Daisy Delight from Spellbinders Garden Shutters series.

Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies is part of the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken. This set of 14 thin metal dies creates an interactive A2 sized card base that open two shutter windows at the same time to reveal another design. Other elements in the set helps to embellish the card, including sentiments and those sweet layered daisy flowers.

Here is the card when the shutters are flipped open.  It's cool, right??  I used the previously released Large Die of the Month Curved Border to decorate the top of the card.

Who doesn’t love an interactive card? Amazing Paper Grace has added the Garden Shutters Collection for another fun element of motion. It creates a beautiful card, and with one pull of a tab, the shutters open to reveal a sweet surprise sentiment! There are two card options to choose from.  Each set has all the elements you need to assemble and embellish.

I also wanted to make a card using just the daisies in this set, showing you how versatile this set can be. 

The sentiment is from the Layered Mix & Match Sentiments.  I cut the detailed layer out of gold shimmer cardstock and added a black background.  The daisies are covered in Silk Microfine Glitter.

That's it for me today.  Two delightful cards from one set!

Gingerbread Tags ~ Dies R Us

Hello everyone~  Dies R Us Challenge Blog is starting a new challenge and since it's so close to Christmas, I thought I'd share with you a few tags that I made using some of the amazing dies I get from Dies R Us.

I like to mix and match my dies to see how well they compliment each other.  For these tags, I started by cutting the Marianne Designs Hot Chocolate cup out of soft plaid patterned paper.  I buy all my Marianne Designs Dies during the Special Order Events at Dies R Us.   The snowflake on the front of the cup and the whipped cream is from Elizabeth Craft Designs Hot Chocolate.  I added a candy cane from Dee's Distinctively Designs and an Elizabeth Craft Designs Gingerbread Man.  I added a bit of glue and sprinkled on some glitter to sugar up some of the sweets.  

The gingerbread men were coming out so cute, so I made extras to make tags and embellishments for future cards.
