Quick Creations-CC Birthday Card

As I love to keep my Birthday Card stash full, I am happy to showcase another adorable card I made for Quick Creations using some of the wonderful items in the shop.

This time I used a stamp from CC Designs called PollyCraft-Dotty stamp. I paired it with Echo Park Birthday Wishes-Girl. For Embellishments I used Prima's Fun Fair Enamel Dots and the Cottage Cutz Stitched Cupcake Die

Kraftin Kimmie Card

I am so one who loves sketch challenges so when I was inspired by Kraftin Kimmie's last sketch, figured it was time to get out some of lovely stamps and create this card. As usual, I colored up the image with my Copics and decided to try to create a sequin style dress.  The paper is from MME stash I have and then added some pearls

I will be entering this card into a few challenges:

Welcome back everyone. It is time for another one of my monthly inspiration using some of the fantastic products offered at Quick Creations.

I have always had a soft spot for Fairies so I am excited to show you this adorable image from Tiddly Inks called Fairy Sunny Day.  I colored it with my Copics and paired it with some bright and cheery paper from Doodlebug Design "Spring Garden".  For embellishments I added some Doodlebug Designs "Ladybug Enamels".

Hope you enjoyed this project and look forward to popping in again soon.

I will also be entering this project in a few challenges:

Welcome back everyone. It is me, Olivia. To all those in the USA, Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hope it turns out to be a lovely one for you. 

 

My project for today is both for inspiration with a bit of steps on how to do it. I decided to try a new technique and make a shaker card. I have only done one or two but learned a new trick of using foam to pop up the die.

 

 

 

The first step is to cut the die on the pattern paper from this fantastic die by Die-Version Whispers Hot Air Balloon Birthday.  Then I ran the foam and die to cut out a thick piece. I used some thin plastic from my stash and did an outline of the top part of the balloon die and cut it to shape. I glued to plastic to the pattern paper and glued to foam to the cardstock and put the sparkles in before I glued the plastic/patterned die to the foam piece.  I added some pearls for accents and used the birthday sentiment die that is part of this set as well. I really like that the sentiment comes with it but cuts separately so allows you to option to not use it for other projects.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and be sure to check out all the fantastic dies available at the Dies R Us Store; and do not forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog! A new challenge is offered on the 1st and 15th of each month with a Gift Certificate to one winner

DiesRUs Birthday CAS style

Today, I have decided to showcase some of the stencils and dies that DiesRUs has available.  As I am always in need of birthday cards, I used one of those fun stamp images I have from Some Odd Girl.

The first step was to use my Distress Inks and sponge the stencil on the paper. This stencil is from the fantastic collection available under Memory Box called-Birthday. I used my stamped my image and colored it with my Copics.  I paired it with Die-Mensions-Birthday Topper that served as a great sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed this project and I will be back soon!

You're so Pretty Card for DiesRUs

Welcome back everyone to another inspiration post for DiesUs.  Olivia here and today I did to alter some of dies to create this adorable card.

I used the Die-Versions Sweet Frames-Pretty Die to surround this adorable image I colored up with my Copics.  I then cut out my Cheery Lynn Butterfly Out die but with this die, I actually cut off the end swirls and reglue them separately onto one end of the image. I then added the butterfly on the other edge of the image.

Dies R Us Post

Hello Everyone. It is Olivia and welcome to my first DT post for Dies R Us.  Today I decided to showcase a technique called Inlaid Dies.  As my preferred style is more CAS in nature, I thought this was a great way to create a card without too many layers but still pops of color.

 For this project I started off with a colored image from Stamping Bella.  I took the image and cut it out with the Die-versions Stitched Circles.  I took the blue paper and  also cut an exact circle with that same die.  Just like in a puzzle you fit your cut out in the empty space. I cut the Die-Mensions Arrow Love This die on some matching yellow paper and cut the Love This out on the blue paper and placed the yellow die into the spot.  I did my usual coloring with Copics and then added some pearls for bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by and check back every day for more great inspiration from all the girls on the design team.
