Fun Fold Birthday

 Hi Artzy friends -

Today I pulled out some old favorite dies to create this cute fun fold card . This card is made with the Rectangle Fancy Framelit dies along with the Rectangle Fun Fold die. 

The rectangle framelits are a great basic that can be used on just about any card. I love that the addition of a single die turns my card into a really cool fun fold!

My images and sentiments are from the Beauty of Nature and Singin' in the Rain stamps and dies sets, both of which are in the newest Dare 2B Artzy release. The beautiful patterned papers are from the Countryside Floral collection and are perfect for spring and summer cards!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Singin' in the Rain

 Hi Artzy friends -

It's April! And you know what that means! We've got lots of April showers in the forecast here in Ohio. Hoping that they really do bring May flowers...and warmer days!

My card today was created with the new Dare 2B Artzy Singin' in the Rain stamps and dies. I created a Horizontal Center Step card with a die set that will be available in the next couple of weeks. 

I love the beautiful papers in the Countryside Floral collection and will be using them on all of my spring cards!

Check out all of the great new products in Dare 2B Artzy's latest release! 

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Spring is in the Air!

 Hi Artzy friends - 

The calendar says it's officially spring! We can only hope that the weather follows suit!

This cute bunny, from the Honey Bunny stamp and die sets is perfect for so many spring and summer cards. I created this shaker card to wish you a happy spring!

I ink blended the Botanical Background die cut and sandwiched it between two pieces of acetate to create a shaker window. I created a frame with the Rectangle Framelits dies and added my bunny, along with my sentiment from the Singin in the Rain stamps and dies and butterfly from the Beauty of Nature stamps and dies.

Stop by the Dare 2B Artzy store to shop for brand new AND older stamps and dies this spring!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day,

Easter Chick

Hi Artzy friends -

Can you believe that Easter is at the end of this month?!

I love that this sweet chick from the Spring Chicken stamp and die sets can be used for Easter greetings, but also Mother's Day, get well, birthdays, or just because cards!

I created this interactive card with the Pop Up Feature die set.

You just pull up on the string to reveal the messages inside, and the chick "stands up."

You can also attach the whole card element to the front of an A2 card base if you want lots of additional space for a handwritten note. 

Did you know that the Spring Chicken stamps and dies were part of Dare 2B Artzy's Stamps and Die Club for the month of February? Check out the details here to see how you can enjoy all the benefits of being a Clubhouse member!

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!

Coffee Date With Kathy

 I'm thrilled and honored to be Kathy Schweinfurth's coffee date today on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

When Kathy asked me to create a card featuring coffee, tea, or cocoa, I thought, "Why not all three?!"

I loved creating this card with products from Waffle Flower Crafts and Karen Burniston, as well as an embossing folder from Taylored Expressions and sentiment from Concord and 9th.

Please head over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog for more information on my card plus Kathy's beautiful card and products used!

Thanks again, Kathy, for inviting me to be your coffee date! I hope we can do it again - in person, soon!

Thanks for visiting and have a great, caffeinated day!
