Joy Christmas Card - Gate Fold

Today I have a Gate fold card using Acetate.
I recently did a fun Girls Night Out with a mini card class.
It included 2 cards a treat box for the girls to create.
This is one of the fun cards they made.

Used the amazing Carta Bella paper line for this card and a clear stamp from my stash
with Dazzling details to highlight the stars and holly.
Topped it off with a bow and it was complete. Just slide the band off add some writing and this Christmas card is ready to send to your friend or family member.

Enjoy,

Dianne

Criss Cross Card - A7 Coming Soon!!!

Made this fun and easy Thank you card for my girls to have using one of Creative cuts and More's newest card Dies....
Love the simplicity of this card. Its a basic card you fold up has a mat for the front and a tag for the inside.
Decorating was the hardest part....

I used a border strip, some swirls and a daisy set with button to complete the outer layer.

The inside tag I actually cut 2 of the same shape and cut off 1/4 inch and corner rounded the top of the one side and it was perfect mat added a strip of paper and Thank you.  Slipped it in the pocket and I was done.
Plenty of room for writing and a little bit of pizzazz too. 

and there you have it an easy and fun thank you card, done in a snap...

Hope you enjoyed this fun and easy card,
Dianne

Scallop Border A2 Card - Fall

I made this fun Fall card with a decorative fabric flower to share today.
The fabric flower was fun to make and could be removed for a hair bow if so desired.
(That is a project for another day).
I used the Scallop Border A2 card , Flowering Flourished SU, Soft Suede ink, Autumn Spice Digital Paper from SU, Cardstock, Brads, Oval punches, Fall Fabric from Walmart, the new clear buttons from Epiphany Crafts and twine to complete this card.

Halloween Sliding Pop Up

Today I created a simple Halloween card to share with you using the
Sliding Pop Up card from Creative Cuts and More


Closed view
I made this card horizontal and used a spiderweb embossing folder I found at Hobby Lobby
Inked it with Gumball green. (everyone that sees it thinks its inked with black!!)
And I used the fun new stamp set Googly Gouls from SU

Here is the open version. I kept trying to put more in the center but it was just best plain.
I sooooo wanted a haunted house in the background but I couldn't find one that I could get the card to close
My silhouette cuts were to bulky and I didn't have a stamp of a haunted house.
So I went with the "less is more" but I had to use all the little guys in the stamp set on this card.
Too bad wigglie eyes are not flat!!!

Hope you like it..
Have a great day,

Dianne

Fish Bowl Card

Today I have a fun birthday wishes Fishbowl shape card for you to see.
I used a stamp set out of my stash that my sister gave me which I have no idea of the brand and the swirl embossing folder from sizzix for the water. I just love how the one fish is holding balloons and the other one a cupcake. What a fun card for a sweet child or fun adult to receive for their birthday.

enjoy!
Dianne

Back to School Tag Card

Today I have a adorable Back to School  Tag card using the Meljens Study Owl digital stamp.
I popped up the book for some added dimension on this little guy used a bunch of different pattern papers for some added drama as well. It really gives this card that back to school feeling.
Love the look of Kraft, Reds and Blues for the fall...
Now if the weather would get in the right temps for fall!

Have a wonderful  Labor day everyone, enjoy!

 

Summer Dipped Strawberries

Today's card is using the Strawberry die from the new Cupcake kit.

Its an adorable die that is soon to be available individually at Creative Cuts and More!!! And I am in the process of making a fun kit you can buy to make these adorable dipped strawberries in a set with detailed instructions. They are the prefect size for a card or a tag hanging on a jar of preserves with a little to and from stamp on it. 

Hope you enjoy today's post,

Dianne

Mermaid Treat Bell Box

Today I have for you a Bell Box with the adorable Sugarplums Emma digital stamp sitting on her rock landscape with her little fishy friends.  I had this cut in Kraft for "Options" and when I needed a quick treat.

 I pulled it out and looked through my computer for the perfect August stamp set and this gift box came together. I filled it with Saltwater Taffy for the treat I needed but you could add anything (a  gift card would fit perfect in this box too). This box measures 3 inches at the bottom and narrows to 2 inches at the top and is 4 inches tall not including the tab.

I love having a few gift boxes on hand so when I need a gift I can just pull out the size I need, grab a stamp, complete the outside then grab the item I'm giving, toss it in and its done I have a sweet little gift package in a minute or two...

Items used:
Bell Box, Digital Stamps, Ribbon, Copic markers & Dazzling Details

Cupcake Card

Today's fun card uses the cupcakes #02 set
Love this cupcake set and the many uses it offers.
For this card I used it in chipboard and then I covered it in solid and pattern papers.
Gives it just the right height for the card and make s the cupcake pop!

Used Sea life digital printed paper - mygraphico
Iridescent ice for sparkle
Bling, Ribbon and a flower punch

Cupcake Birthday Book

I made this fun book for a friends daughter to celebrate her 5th Birthday.

To make this album the way I did you will need:
1 Cupcake chipboard kit
1 frosting piece in chipboard (Solo piece coming soon)

6 Cupcake #02 set in chipboard 

Lots of bling and pattern and solid paper of your choice. 

The cover of this album has a cupcake topper in chipboard added (only on this page) and then card stock which I used Iridescent ice to sparkle. A flower in white with Iridescent Ice (lots of sparkle for Char!) Added Glossy Accents to the center of the flower for some pizzazz there as well.
The Happy Birthday letters are the Quickutz/Lifestyle crafts Olivia font and then I used the SU Dazzling Details to make it look like I had frosted them.
I did Debate placing them in the cupcake top area but they got visually lost and I know my Char likes pink so I left them in the cupcake bottom area. Easier to read.

Page 1 and 2
Some more info on this fun book.....

I used Echo Park's Little Girl digital (YEP!! digital!!!) printed paper for this album and SU Card stock.

They work so well with each other.

Tons of bling and lots of Iridescent Ice and Glossy Accents.

All patterns in the bling are freestyle.

Page 3 and 4
Love the mini cupcakes through out the book. It was so fun to mix and match the patterns in this set with the little cupcake tops.

Page 5 and 6

Note to everyone... Do Not Tip The Page You Just Put Glossy Accent On To Show Your Friends it will run. 

Had to fix the green dots on this page when I was so happy how they looked I wanted to show Melissa and I looked down to see the Glossy Accents running. Funniest part is we were face timing and I saw it on the screen it was like a bad movie... But it would have been great if they were Popsicles not cupcake sprinkles. So remember when using Glossy Accents do not show people your work by standing it up with pride until it is dry!

Page 7 and 8

Bling on the pink cupcake - I started the bling at the bottom of the cupcake and just was not happy so I went all the way around and fell in love. I know went a bit crazy with the bling. But I love it. followed that with the purple on page 6 as well and love that one too. As you can probably tell I did not work in order on this book.

Page 9 and 10

The pink topped one was the 1st page I did and I used those flowers and just had so much fun with them. its one of my favorite pages. 

The blue page I was so happy I had some left over gems from the sea life album they worked perfect here.

Back

Left this back cover blank as it will sit on a table or shelf and could mess up a picture.

Hope you all enjoyed this album

If you want to get one and try it out yourself check out CC&M

you'll love it! Very easy and fun to create.

I just love this new album we have in the store,
Loves,
Dianne
