More Die-namics Blueprints 15 Cards

Today I have been playing more with my new Die-namics Blueprint 15 die set.  I'm so in love with these dies.



The sentiment has been stamped with Archival ink in black onto velum which has been secured at the back to avoid glue being seen through the velum.  Pearl accents adhered either side of the sentiment.

The butterfly has been die cut from Sizzix Basic Shapes die in gold foil paper and velum, both Stampin' Up!  The paper is retired DSP and Basic Gray for accent.


A pearl and butterfly adorn the inside too.


Turning the card to the side shows the sequin, rhinestones and silver foil strip along the bottom off great.  The sentiment has been raised on Dimensionals.  These butterflies are silver foil paper and velum also from Stampin' Up!

The pegs on both cards have been adhered to the card with Stampin' Up! glue dots with the butterflies simply held in place with them.


Rhinestones on the inside for decoration.


You can see the silver foil paper really well in this picture too.

TGIF Weekly Challenge

This week's challenge over at TGIF is an exciting colour combo that most would likely resist as there are two very strong colours.


I love strong colours so this combo for me was perfect.  All my products today are Stampin' Up! with the exception of the Round Rectangle Stitched die from Die-namics.  I used the Pansy, Blossom and Petite flower punches with Peal Basic Jewels in the centre of each silver foil paper accent, with smaller one's accenting the bottom of the card.   The flowers were all raised with Dimensionals as was the sentiment.


Initially I only had two flowers ignoring the rule of thirds and thought this looked fine as the sentiment was also white so that was three shapes, but I then decided to add the third flower.  It would be great to hear what you think, 2 or 3 flowers.  Both ways look good for me.  Fence and sit springs to mind lol.

Anyhow Wimbledon beckons. Why not head on over to TGIF Challenges blog and check out other gorgeous cards and projects.  Click here


Have a fun day.  Take care of you.

Navy, Silver & Calypso Coral Card

Today's card looks at first glance as being plain and simple until you take a look inside!  On the outside I have used Night of Navy, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Silver Foil card stock.    These have been die cut using my favourite Dienamics stitched framelits.  To embellish I have used Calypso Coral pom-poms, now retired and pearl accents.



When you look inside you will see a special charm which can be snipped off and put on something of your own choice.


The charm is a small silver tone heart stamped "made with love" with a small stamped heart.


Side view.

Fun and creative.  I absolutely love finding new and individual ways to create the cards I make.  I make each and every one with love and rarely make any more, so they are all entirely unique.  All my cards are for sale, simple visit my Facebook site or email me directly.  

I hope today has been full of giggles and fun.  Take care of you.

Watermelon Wonder Card

Stampin' Up! has new 'in colours' for 2015/2017 and Watermelon Wonder is another striking colour which many future cards will surely be used for.


I used a Stampin' Up! Glitter Paper and Foil Paper for the butterflies.  The tag has SU gold ribbon and is heat embossed with white embossing powder, white pearl accents added with the sentiment also heat embossed using gold embossing powder all from SU.

Other products used are Dienamics dies and Teresa Collins gold pearls.

Perfect.  

Take care of you.

Stampin' Up! Congratulations Card.

Happy days folk.  Today's card was inspired by a colour combo site I viewed recently so much so I wanted to join in the fun. You can visit the Colour Q site here and view other great designs.  I have also joined in a challenge over at Pals Paper Arts, you can click here to also check out more great entries.


 

As always my products are predominantly from Stampin' Up! with the one exception being my favourite die Thinlits from Dienamics.  I simply love the faux stitching effect.  The card is Blushing Bride and Nights of Navy.  I used the Bitty Butterfly and the Elegant Butterfly punches.


I measured roughly and used the Dienamics die to die cut the apertures then used one of the die cuts for the sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark and gold embossing powder used.  The stamp set is Express Yourself, which has now retired, but is one of my 'go to' favourites.


I used the largest die to cut this for inside the card and punched a Bitty butterfly.


This pic was taken before I put the inside layers in but you can better see all the layering.  I used Dimensionals throughout and also some pearl accents, also from Stampin' Up!

I hope you have enjoyed this card, if so please consider leaving a motivational comment or feedback.

Take care of you.
