Becca Feeken's New Candlewick Rectangle

I hope that you have all had the chance to see Becca's newest addition to her Candlewick Sampler set that just came out and have also had the chance to maybe add a few to your collection.  Today i have a few more ideas to share for a little more inspiration with the new rectangles die set.

As we pick from the newest dies on the market, we often find that sometimes the best dies are the ones that you can use in simple ways and get the most milage from.  The newest candlewick dies each have a beautiful raised candlewick design pattern that gives you a rather an amazing result with very little effort.   And wow you really have to love that.

For my card i used the 2 largest sizes of the die and 2 shades of pink patterned paper to create a subtle shadow effect and really make the top piece pop more.  These 2 pieces i layered over light ivory cardstock so that the details of the die would stand out more and used 3D foam dots to separate the layers.   

I stamped the sentiment with a subtle brown ink and used a Penny Black stamp set from my stash.  And I kept it simple and used a piece of silk ribbon across the base and added a sweet bow at the side with a button that matches the ink that i chose for the sentiment.  And to finish it i just added a few small pearls on the top piece to make it just a little bit fancier.  So simple ... yet so pretty!

This is what the die set looks like.  You can make all the shapes that you see above and the base pieces to go under them or to create a back round.  

If you would love to see all the new dies you can check the link here 

And i also created this pretty gift box using the same die and added the new Candlewick Petticoats die for the front of it.  I love to make fancy boxes to put in little gifts and gift cards and this was really fun and easy to make using some great dotted paper and white cardstock to cut the dies from.

And one last very important thing for our APG team..... We have a brand new Guest Designer and she is super talented.  Her name is Elena Ivanova-Dineva  and she is creating lots of magical things for us this month with Becca's dies so be sure and stop by her blog this month for some amazing inspiration.... https://elenashandmadecards.blogspot.com/

That's all for today but i hope to see you back soon!

Happy 4th of July !!

Today is a very special day for our country and we all should be very proud to celebrate our independence as a nation and all the freedoms that we have.   

So of course i had to create a card today to share with all of you with the colors of our nations flag and a bit of glimmer since it's a holiday!!

For my card I used the new "Adorned Oval's Glimmer Plate by Becca Feeken and a subtle silver foil to mix with the solid red, white and blue. I also added just a touch of silver card stock between the layers.  This is one of my favorite dies in this brand new set because each of the 3 rings are so beatiful and ornate and you can mix them with other fancier dies you might already have or by themselves or just use a few on a darker card stock piece so that it really pops like i did.

This is what the die set looks like.  I love the designs in this set so much and making cards with this set is going to be so easy to do... You are going to love it!

And you all know that we had an Amazing Guest Designer named Kathy Clements last month for June who shared lots of beautiful things with us that she created.... Well--- this month we have another incredible Designer from Canada named Karen Gerber.  She has her first project up on her blog that you can see here....  You are going to love what she is sharing with us this month!!

 Enjoy your day and if you haven't seen the foil plates by Becca be sure and check them out here..

Happy Holidays Card to share

Happy Saturday to you all--- it's time again to share another new card for your holiday craft projects for this year.  This week i picked another die from Becca Feeken's newest Christmas Collection called "Sentimental Christmas stamp and die set". This set comes with a delicate frame and shadow die to add to any kind of project you can imagine, three beautiful sentiment stamps and a cute little charm.   I used some gorgeous papers in gold and ivory to make a fun and glistening holiday card.

To make my card I started with a printed paper with glistening lights on it and then i added layers of gold foiled paper and glitter card stock to make it look festive. Then i cut 2 small strips of gold paper to put under my sentiment i stamped and to keep it from floating.  The delicate golden frame only makes the rest of the card more elegant and the ribbons and golden bow with the holly tag finishes it perfectly.

These are super easy to make for everyone on your list this year or maybe just to those favorite people that you really want to do something special for.  And this set has an adorable little charm with holly leaves that will make any card you do that much more special.

Hope you like my card and to see the rest of the new christmas dies click here

Have a wonderful weekend.... Teresaa

All is Merry and Bright Card

I hope you all had a chance to preview all the new dies from the "Charming Christmas Collection" by Becca Feeken last week.  We all had such a wonderful time sharing our fun ideas with all of you and now it's time for us to share even more ideas to create with them in the weeks ahead.  

Today i picked another of my favorite dies called "Charming Etched Boughs" and it's a beauty.  I chose to make a double layered frame on the front of my card in a beautiful green foiled paper set off by white in the opposite direction.  This gave it a pretty lacy feel and really made the sentiment pop.  I love that this die is so delicate and it cuts like butter so that is really nice for doing lots of cards.  It was fun to add a beautiful poinsettia and rhinestones in red to make it really festive.

Behind my dies i used my favorite "Hemstitch Squares" die to give the lacy dies something to balance on the base and new paper from Ruby Rock-it that you can get in the Spotlight stores if you are across the pond in Australia.  It's a beautiful set and really makes the dies look amazing.!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and also Congratulations to all the winners on the hop!  It was so nice to read all the wonderful comments from all of you!  

Have a very wonderful weekend,

Teresa
