Hoppy Easter Card for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

Today is my last day posting on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.  I have so enjoyed my time on the team, but my term is up, and it's time for someone else to have a chance at this awesome team. I have really enjoyed it! 

Since we're closing in on Easter, I thought I'd showcase an adorable Bunny die today, found in the Dies R Us Store. This is Floral Bunny by Tutti Designs:

I think this floral bunny design is so darn cute!

Here's a photo of all the supplies used on this card:

I started by cutting out the card base.  This is a floral card panel by Spellbinders, but this one by Nellie's Choice would work equally as well. I used a circle die that was just a bit bigger than the Floral Bunny.  This one has been in my stash for many years.  Dies R Us has many circle dies. This set of Never-ending Circle Dies From Kat Scrappiness would work especially well!

Here's a picture of everything once it's all die cut.  I cut a bit off of the circle, just to add a little character.

Once everything was die cut, I assembled it all using ScrapPerfect Best Glue Ever, added gems to both the floral card front and the floral bunny, and finished it all with a yellow ribbon.

Lucky You Card -- for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

I'm posting today on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.  I always enjoy my chance to get out my large collection of dies and play with them.   Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Since it's the holiday, I thought I'd share a lucky card with you today:

I'll link to the supplies found in the Dies R Us Store at the bottom of the post, but here is a photo of all the supplies used on this card:

I die cut all the pieces, using the Lucky You die several times and cutting the clover off of the words.

Here are all the pieces die cut:

After everything was cut out, and the clovers were separated from the words, I just needed to assemble the card.  I did that with CraftPerfect The Best Glue Ever.  It is great for adhering words and small die cuts to your projects!

Washi Tape Wild --- for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

I'm posting today on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog --always a pleasure for me!  

Do You collect washi tape?  I keep buying it, and then never seem to get around to using it.  I decided it was time to put some to good use on this card:

I created the background with strips of washi tape.  It was very easy to do.  Once I got that made, I found a sentiment I wanted to use.  Of course, any sentiment would work, but with Valentine's Day just past, I thought this one is appropriate,  This particular set of sentiment dies is from Spellbinders.  I found the smallest heart die I had in my collection.  The ones in the heart die set from Impression Obsession would work great for this!

I used a liquid glue to adhere the sentiment to the washi tape.

Here's one I made in another color:

Loads of Love Card - for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

I'm posting today for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog, where it's always my pleasure to create something with my lovely and growing collection of wonderful dies from the Dies R Us Store. 

My husband loves old trucks, so when trying to figure out his Valentine's card for this year, an old truck seemed like a good choice:

This old truck is by Cheapo Dies and is called Loads of Love.  I also used a set of stitched snowdrift dies from Lawn Fawn.

Here's all the supplies and papers I used:

Here's everything die cut.  I cut out extra wheels and hubcaps so I could keep the best 2 to use on the truck. Gluing small things together can be tough for me, so I gave myself extra chances :)

I thought the truck could use some rust, so a little metallic wax did the trick:

I used a hot foil machine and a foil stamp to achieve the background on this card.  I really like the look you can achieve with hot foil:

I used Stick It Sheets to adhere the letters to the card.

I wanted to make sure you've heard the exciting news!  Dies R Us now has a sister store located in Canada called Didi Crafts.  It will ship both to the Us and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as Dies R Us, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to pay huge taxes or large shipping costs.  How great is that?!?!

Happy Heart Card -- for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

Hello, fellow craft lovers.  I have the great honor of posting on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog today, where I always have so much fun  playing with my always growing die collection.  

I've been making Valentine's cards, and have one to share with you today:

I used a set of nesting hearts dies to create this card.  These happen to be by Spellbinders, but the Dies R Us Store has several great options you could use including these by Tutti Designs, and these by Card Deco Essentials.

I wanted an element of surprise when the recipient took the card out of the envelope, so I positioned my hearts at a bit of a rakish angle, then continued that surprise with lots of glitter and foil papers.

Here's a photo of all the supplies I used:

I wanted to make sure all those layers stuck together really well, and I sometimes have trouble with glitter paper adhering, so I used Stick It Sheets on the back of all the foil and glitter papers --and the sentiment.

Here's everything after I got it die cut:

The sentiment is from a great set by Creative Expressions.  I use it often.
And, one more view of my sparkly card:

I wanted to make sure you've heard the exciting news!  Dies R Us now has a sister store located in Canada called Didi Crafts.  It will ship both to the Us and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as Dies R Us, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to pay huge taxes or large shipping costs.  How great is that?!?!

Happy New Year! for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

I'm posting today for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog, where I get to wrap up a great year of crafting, and wish everyone a happy new year! 

What better way to toast in the New Year than with a little bubbly?

That darling focal point is from Tutti Designs.  It's Champagne Flutes. I thought it was perfect for New Year's Eve, but it's actually good for any festive occasion -- birthdays, weddings, anniversaries.  It has many uses.

Here is a picture of all the supplies I used on this card:

The star border on the side of the card is from Technique Tuesday, but this one from Frantic Stamper would work equally as well. The larger stars were cut out from dies by Spellbinders.

Supplies used on this card found in the Dies R Us Store:

Frantic Stamper Star Border

 Tutti Designs Champagne Flutes

Best Glue Ever

The papers and sentiment are from Kaisercraft.

I wish you a happy and safe new year, and here's one more view of my card:

Poinsettia Peace -- for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

Happy Christmas Eve!  I'm posting today on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog, and I hope this finds you relaxed and ready for the next few exciting days!

I am sharing a card of peace, just in case you need to slow down and remember to take a breath!

This card uses a Sue Wilson die, sone paper piecing, some foil, and some glitter:

First,  a picture of the supplies (they will be linked below):

The main focal point of the card uses Creative Expressions Craft dies by Sue Wilson, the Festive Collection - Poinsettia Flower Square.  It is currently out of stock, but there are many other similar dies in the Dies R Us Store.

I started by cutting the die out of white card stock, using Stick It Adhesive Sheets behind the poinsettia to make paper piecing easier:

Then, I cut just the inside layer with red, and added that in. It adhered because of the Stick It.

Next, I added the leaves and the gold pearls.

There were some open spaces, so I added white glitter to those.  I also used  a die cut for the Elizabeth Craft Winter Wishes set to cut out the word "Peace".

In this pic, you can see all the die cuts, and the glitter.  The gold square was cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Here are the products used from the Dies R Us Store:

Sue Wilson  Poinsettia Flower Square

Elizabeth Craft - Winter Wishes

Stick It Sheets

I'll leave you with one more view of my peaceful poinsettia card, and I'll wish you the merriest of Christmases!
