Thanks!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

It's Nancy, from The Nickel Nook, back to share a fun new inspiration project,
using fun dies from Dies R Us!

These days a simple kindness can make such a difference in people's lives.
Why not make some pretty cards to send to those you love.
I've chosen to use "Thanks" on my card,
but the lovely die set I used has other fun options.
You could simply say "Hello"!

There are many that deserve a huge "Thanks" in these difficult days!

Here's my card:


I'm afraid it was a dreary and rainy day when I made my card,
so I don't have any process photos to share with you. 

I cut an A2 tent-fold card base from white cardstock.
I added a front panel of 4 x 5 1/4, from decorative paper.
I wrapped it with pretty sheer riboon before adhering it to the card base.
Then I added a pretty ribbon bow.


I die-cut the "Spring Has Sprung" die from white cardstock - twice.
I adhered the first one in place on the card front.
From the second cut, I fussy cut two of the large butterflies.
I then adhered just the body of the fussy cut butterfly, onto the two top base butterflies.
When the glue was dry, I folded up the wings.
I then cut the "Thanks" from the decorative paper,
and adhered it to the center of the base die.
Finally, I added mini clear rhinestones around the doily edge of the die-cut.


In this photo, you can see the dimension on the two butterflies,
and all the pretty sparkle from the rhinestones and ribbon.

I hope I've given you some fun ideas!
I'll be back soon with more!

Plaid Happy Birthday

Hi there,
Shona here with you again today to share a different kind of card for me, i.e. no glitter or flocking!


The die I used today is a fraction of it's original price. So grab it now if you can! I hadn't realized that when making this card. It is much bigger than I had thought it was too.



First, I stamped the plaid background from Concord & 9th in Versafine Clair Charming Pink. I used my Stamp Platform to do this to get good coverage. 


Re-inking and stamping three times, gave a nice even result.


Once it was dry, I die cut the Die-Versions Happy Birthday Solo Sentiments die from the middle of it, being careful that I didn't lose any of the little negative pieces. Then I ran black cardstock through with the same die.


A piece of Super Adhesive Tape was stuck to the back of the plaid negative piece and the black Happy Birthday outline was placed in the sticky space. The little plaid pieces were inserted into their respective spots. I neglected to take a photo of that ... my bad!


The plaid piece was then popped up with little mounting foam strips, but I moved it all slightly intentionally to the left.


Another "Happy Birthday" was die cut from another piece of black cardstock that would be used as the layer on top of the card base. This was then taped again slightly to the left so that it achieved more dimension.


The black piece was then layered to a white card base and then the focal panel was taped on top. A piece of black and white cord was tied around the top of the card to finish it off.


Here are the products that I used in my project today: 

Concord & 9th Plaid Background Stamp
Super Adhesive Sheet
Mounting Foam
Black and White cord

It will ship to both the US and Canada. Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different. Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!

Sweet Love Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a lovely and easy Valentine's Day card or just a love card.

I only used dies and a bit of ink to create this card - which makes it easy to make multiples if needed.


Here's the card I created.

I gathered all the dies, cardstock and specialty paper. I die cut all the components for the card. 

I then used Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage to color the stems of the blooms. Next, I used Distress Oxide in Tattered Rose for the buds.
  

I trimmed one of the buds off the stem. I will use this stem for my hearts. 
I  adhered the hearts to the stem.
  
Next, I adhered the lattice to the pink cardstock panel.
 Now, I am ready to adhere the blooms to the panel.
 

I start by tucking the first bloom at the bottom left of the panel. Then I follow with the heart buds and then I finally trim and tuck the last bloom.
  

Next, I adhered the sentiments die cuts to the top right-hand corner of the panel. I then adhered the card front panel to the card base.

For finishing touches, I adhered a few Jewels in red, pink and white.
Now, the card is complete.
