I hope you enjoyed the 7 days of ideas using Amuse Studio's DIY Party Dies!

Another St. Patrick's Day post.  Laura sent me this card and the jar she gave me for Christmas.   She made decorated circles for the jar with a magnet on them so that you can switch them out for various occasions.  Isn't that a great idea?

Happy St. Pat's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I have a couple of simple cards to share.  

I cut out 4 of the Shamrock die cuts from Amuse Studio's Candy Box Die set.  I glued all the layers together with the Tombow Mono adhesive.  I love the dimension that it adds to the card.

Amuse Studio's Creepy Hollow - Amazing!

All I can say is she outdid herself AGAIN!  I was so very excited to get a package in the mail over the weekend with this wonderful Halloween decoration.  Shari is some kind of talented, she.is.an.artist!  Now for a close up of all the details. 

She used Amuse Studio's Creepy Hollow stamp set along with the Screenprint background to create the scene.  She added a bit of grass & the spooky fence dies in and around the tomb stones to complete the look.  The lantern even gives off a glow of light - all the details are amazing! 

Check out how she used Amuse Studio's rosette die to look like a spider web.  Don't you love how all the chevrons line up perfectly?  The felt spider is from Amuse Studio's Candy Box die set.  She inked up the edges of the rosette and added a bit of glitter to the mountains of the rosette.

The branches are from Creepy Hollow as well (On our Spotlight Sale thru end of October)  She used Amuse Studio's Bat Die Trio & also made a moon with a circle punch to create another spooky scene.  I absolutely love it and will have this amazingly cute Halloween decoration proudly displayed in my home!  Trick OR Treat - I say most definitely Treat - THANK YOU SHARI!!

Happy St. Pat's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  Here is a variety of cards I made using all amuse|studio products.  The beer mug idea came from a fellow Consultant, Sherri Czarnecki.  I love the Polka Dot background from Mod Backgrounds 1.

cardstock:  sugar, grass

ink:  sage, fern, versafine onyx

other:  candy box die (shamrock die)

Candy Box Die

Look at the cute little boxes made using amuse|studio's Candy Box Die!  Here the box was decorated with washi tape & looks so spring like!  It would be perfect for Easter treats.  There are so many options with this die set.  The finished box is about the size of a deck of playing cards.   

The 8 shapes shown are also included with the Candy Box Die & Cutout Set. There are a few shapes in the candy box cutouts that can be tricky to remove from the die after cutting - such as the spider and party hat. Simply place a piece of wax paper between the die and your cardstock, then die cut as usual. The wax paper should allow the cut shape to pop right out when you push it out through the opening in the die after cutting.
