And they lived....Happily Ever After

Hi and happy Saturday to all of you... sorry i haven't done a post with the new APG dies for last week, we have been busy working on Becca's newest release called "Romancing the Swirl" which is going to be released next month and is it ever beautiful.  But this week i had some time to created these 3 really fun projects out of the 3D Vignettes Happily Ever After set so i thought i would share these with all of you this week to give you a little wedding day inspiration.  

I so wish i had these die sets when my daughter got married last year because all of them are so gorgeous and there is so much that you can do with them.  Above i created a simple blocked backround card in this pretty lavender pansy print and then created a 3D little window with the Happily Ever After die set to put in the center with a pretty ribbon.  This die also comes with those cute little flowers that you see and you can mold them to make them more fancy or just die cut them flat and use them with pearls to decorate your projects. 

And then i had this idea to make a Z card that can be folded up to make a wedding scene.  I love this one because i got to add other dies from Becca's amazing set and you can gently fold this up and put it into an envelope to mail.  I used the same papers to get more use out of them and it really makes it pop with the purple but you can use any color scheme to go with your wedding plans.  The card is only an A2 and it's so cute the recipient can keep it out to decorate and remember that fun day for just a little while longer.

For this Z card i also added my favorite Petite double bow die on the top back over the Filigree Veil die cut.  I also used a piece of it for the front and added flowers on it.  Don't be afraid to mix and match the dies to create really pretty textures and architectural elements to your projects.

And lastly i made one of the Grand Cabinet 3D Vignette die set and the Layered Happily Ever After die set for the center.  All of our team has shared lots of ideas in the past weeks using these dies so be sure and stop by Becca's blog for a quick video if you need to see how it's made.  They go together really nicely and the person that you give one of these amazing cards too is going to love it.

So I hope you liked my share for you this week.  There is lots of ideas so be sure and pop over to the Spellbinders website to pick up a few for all those weddings the spring and summer!

Have a really wonderful weekend.... Teresa

Craft Hoarders Hop for June...

Thanks so much for stopping over today for our Craft Hoarders hop.  If you started at the beginning then you should have hopped over from the talented Wendi Robinson's blog.  And if you want to start at the beginning then please hop over to the talented Gloria Stengel to see what she has to share today with all of us.  We have lots of fun things to share today so be sure and stop by everyone to see.

Today in my crafty part of the world i have lots of cards to share.  A few of them i did for Spellbinders and loved them so much I thought this would be fun to pass on the ideas to all of you.  For this card i used one of my very favorite dies that has a kind of lattice look to it. It's super fancy so i just used some white card stock and also bits of pink that i had in my stash.  The birthday wishes is from Penny Black sentiments and is also one of my go to sets that i have.  I really love this one and how it came out.  Pink is one of my very favorite colors :)

My next card is also using a lattice type die from Spellbinders and with this one i mixed kraft papers and embossed them with an embossing folder for texture and then layered on the dies in ivory and kraft.  The writing paper is from Canvas Corp and goes really good for a backround on lots of things. I always keep these kind of papers for emergencies.  And to finish it i just added a tiny punched tag and a pretty satin sheer ribbon bow.  Super simple but the dies really make it amazing.

And then i got out some pieces of Doodlebug that i had left over from a class that i taught a while

back.  This one was just fun to mix and match all those amazing bright and cheerful prints that i

love so much from them.  I added a few Spellbinders dies in the layers but it's mostly all the stickers

and papers that come in the birthday set they had.

And lastly for today i made this card using a kaisercraft embossing folder that i got and added black cardstock in between and for the Eiffel Tower on the front.  This little die is new from Spellbinders and you can find it on the website.  It even has a cute little poodle in the set you can use.  And the sentiment was also in my stash and is just a sticker that i put on white cardstock and then cut it out.  It's super simple but it was fun when all those bits from my stash went together to make something fun i could give away.  That is why i love to do this so much and i hope you got a few ideas today and are ready to hop to Donna's blog......

 Thanks so much for stopping over and be sure and leave a comment if you like what i shared.  I always love to know who stops over and would love to visit you too :)  Have a wonderful and crafty day!
