Die D'lites are my favorites

Today i have a post to share of something i did up on the Spellbinders blog awhile back.  

They carry lots of these cute little dies called Die D'lites and i was playing with some one

day and it was neat because they fit perfect inside of these little tray spaces.  And so it began..

I started by picking some of my favorite photos for some of the spaces and then

picked papers from Teresa Collins set with lots of happy yellows, white, grey and

just a tough of black.  I layered lots of the pieces and tried to make something fun that went

with the Home Sweet Home theme in each rectangle and it was really fun to make.  These are

 so good for digging in your stash and using up all the bits and pieces that can go with another

project that you are doing.  And you use up lots of things so you can go buy more right?

Here is a quick closeup of the title and the pretty Spellbinders die that i used.  Love, love

love this one like all the others and the detail is always amazing. 

Thanks so much for stopping over today and be sure and stop over

again to see what's new on my side of the continent!!  

Cardabilites #98 is up today....

Today we all have another fun sketch to share today with all

or you on Cardabilites and boy is it ever cute... I had lots of fun 

with this one and did a couple of cards with it to share with you.

For my Gracias card i kept pretty true to the sketch and 

used a new vintage paper pad from Authentique 

called Classic Elegant.  I also used a die set from

Spellbinders called Romantic Rectangles 2 to make

the outside edge of the card.  The little medallion

was from 2 dies sets.  They are Floral Doily Motifs

and also the circle from Stately Circles.  I love how

this came out and love the Victorian look to it.  I know

it's a surprise LOL... i just love lace and flowers....

The little tiny flowers are from one of my

new favorite places to order Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My second card to share today is using another

new pad that i got from Doodlebug Designs called

Sugar Shoppe.  i used lots of cute little patterns

and a Die D-Lite from Spellbinders called Medallion 8.

I added a few more flags and some pink twine that i 

had in my stash and a flower and a sticker to finish

up the center of the medallion.  I love these colors 

alot and i love my lace and flowers too....

Hope you like what i have and don't forget to come

and join us over on Cardabilites or just get inspired

by all the beautiful things everyone shares :)

Cardabilites #97 is up today...

I can honestly say i just love using Karan's sketches.  There is so

much you can do with them and it is amazing what our team comes

up with each time with their take on it.  For my card today i wanted

to use a new Simple Stories pad that i got called DIY boutique

with lots of bright colors and fun little patterns in it.

To begin to make my card i started by using a bright blue

paper on my backround and then put a layer of word paper

matted in white on top with foam squares and then created

 a framed border to go around the center design in the bright pink

 with Spellbinders Labels 34.  The rest of the center i layered

 tiny flags with matching colored papers and a tag in the set 

and then i made that cute little flower

with another Spellbinders Die D-lites set called Blooms Four.

Here is the sketch for you so that you can join 

along with us over on Cardabilites this time....

Thanks for stopping over and see you next time...

One of my favorite cards

Today i just want to share a card that i did for CHA

this past January and it's one of my favorites.  I used

Graphic 45 papers and one of the new dies that Spellbinders

is releasing called Lucious Labels One and it has one of my

 favorite flowers on it from Die D-lites.

I used a piece of textured kraft for the back layer and then layered

pieces of the Graphic 45 paper pad cut with the Luscious Labels one

 and with 3D foam squares inbetween. I made a really pretty flower 

with two of the Die D-lites called Blooms 4- S2-047 and

with Corner Sprigs S2-049 and then added a gorgeous 

rhinestone from Prima. The Happy Mother's day is from a stamp 

set by Justrite papercrafts. I think it came together really well and 

it's one of my favorite cards i have done so far.

Thank you for stopping over and i hope you have a 

really nice day and make something fun!  

A Special Birthday card..

Hi Everyone and thanks so much for coming to see

what's new on my blog this week.  If you are just stopping

over I have been sharing some fun cards that I did with

the New Die D-lites released from Spellbinders this week.

Today I have another one using another of the Medallions

and this one is called Medallion Seven .  This is a really pretty 

lacey die with beautiful embossing and I decided to use it as a 

border and I cut and embossed it 3X in white card stock

and ran 2 small pieces of pink silk ribbon through them and

tied them in the center.  I also used the Bitty Blossoms die

and made a pretty white flower and leaves to put in the middle.

For the outside border on the grey dotted paper I embossed the

Matting Basics dies into the paper but didn't cut it.  It's a really

pretty way to create a border and it's really, really easy to do.

That's all for today and hope you are as inspired to try some

of these fun little dies like me!  Have a wonderful day :)

Another fun Die D-lite today...

I have another pretty card to share today with all of you 

that I did with one of the New Flower Die D-lites out this 

month for Spellbinders.  You can also see it in the gallery here.... 

and I have another view to show you today. 

 For the flower on my card I used the new Blooms Four die 

and made it in a bright pretty pink card stock from Bazzill.

The embossing on it is quite striking and using the Media Mixage

Keys plate and white paper made it really easy.  The back round

die is Label Thirty-Two.  Don't you just love the embossing

on the flower too?  It's beautiful I think and really adds the

perfect touch to the card.  And the papers are from Bo Bunny.

Thanks for stopping and don't forget to check out all the other

wonderful projects in the gallery for more SB inspiration.
We are headed out this morning to a fun local car show
and of course i have to pick up some kettlecorn popcorn.

Hugs and Smiles and Happy Saturday to you all

Cardabilites #85

Today I decided to play along again with Cardabilites

new sketch and use a few of the New Die D-lites

to make a card.  I kept pretty true to the sketch to

make it fast and easy so it was really fun and I am happy

with the way it came out.  For this card I used the

New Medallions Four and also the Corner Sprigs die set

which I am using alot these days for all my flowery cards.

I also used the heart piece of the Spellbinders On the Edge

die set to make an edge border across the center
 on my card. The flowers are from Prima and the Thank you is a sticker.

Here is the new sketch up on Cardabilites

just in case you want to play along too.

Thanks for stopping by and hope your day

is wonderful and crafty :)
