Birthday

Hi!

Today I'm watching the snow fall outside my window, 

with no plans of going any where because they're forecasting 6 -12 inches!

This is the card I made to play along with

 My Favorite Things - monthly Birthday Project.

 

 

I used the MFT  BB Beary Special Birthday stamp set. 

Stay warm!

'till next time,

Doni

Congratulations

Hi!

Today, I'd like to share with you a wedding card.  

It's always nice to have a few of these on hand.

I love the black/white/gold color scheme, 

you could also personalize it by using the wedding party's colors.

Start by layering the lattice over a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 piece of matching cardstock.

Next, layer the circle alternating the colors and finishing with the Mr. & Mrs. on top.

Set this aside for the moment.

Hand cut a fish tail banner measuring 1 3/4 by 4 , cutting straight up the bottom center

and then cut from each bottom corner into where your straight cut ends. this makes a fish tail. 

Layer this banner  like you did the outside of the circle.

Die cut your Congratulations word.

Now assemble the front  and adhere all to a black card base.

'till next time,

Snowman & friends

Hi!

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps.  

This time around it's my turn to pick a topic. Since it's January
and usually snowy in northeastern Ohio where I live,  I chose SNOWMAN.

 

Here's what I used:

Sassy Cheryl's Digi Stamps - Come play with us 

W plus 9 - Sunshine Layers (Die)

Jane's Doodles - the sentiment

Copic Markers

I even put a little critter ( from My Favorite Things -Fall Friends) on the inside:

 

The sentiment is also from My Favorite things. I found it on the Woodland Friends stamp set.

I like combining different stamps. I think you get a lot more use from your stash that way.

I hope you find some time to go outside and play in the snow!

'till next time,

Doni

Sweet Birthday

Hi! 

It's my turn to do a tutorial for Dies R Us.

 My daughters birthday is this month, so I'd like to share this "sweet" birthday card that I made for her and her sweet tooth!

I love this  Lawn Fawn Box Card Die. The construction of the box itself is well documented

in many You Tube videos, THIS is the one I used when I did my first box.

Once you have your basic box built the fun comes in when you get to decorate it!

For this card I chose the stamp set Baked With Love from Lawn Fawn.

Here's the Copic Marker colors I used for the flour sack, wooden spoon and rolling pin:

Once everything is colored you can either fussy cut the images or make your life really simple and use the matching die cuts.

The next step is to arrange all the cuteness into the box!

A handy way to attach some images is to use clear plastic ( from left over packaging)

 cut into thin strips with a thin strip of double sided tape.

This is how I attach them inside the box:

There is no right or wrong way to decorate. Just have fun with it!

Here's another look:

The best thing about these cards is that they fold flat, fit into a A2 size envelope and go through the US Mail for one stamp!

Below, you'll find the list of the supplies I used with links to the Dies R Us Store for your convenience.
