With Sympathy Card

 Hi everyone, I'm on the Dies R Us Blog with a Sympathy card today.

I began by stamping the image, then coloring it with Copic Markers.  As the largest circle die would have cut off part of my image, I fussy cut around the wing, then slipped the die under it so it would cut the circle and leave the wing intact.

While still in the die, I inked around the image with Distress Oxide in Squeeze Lemonade.

Using the Botanica Frame from Poppy Stamps, I die cut Rinea Marigold Starstruck Foiled Paper.

Next, I adhered the panel to a blue card.

After inking the edges of the circle with orange ink, It was placed on the card with foam adhesives for dimension.

The phrase was stamped on a scrap of white cardstock and matted with a scrap of blue cardstock, then added to the bottom edge of the image using the Best Glue Ever.

Please stop by the Dies R Us Store to see all the amazing dies available.

Thanks for stopping by.

Faerie Banner with Rinea Foils

Hi everyone, I'm on the Rinea blog with a Fairy banner using Poppystamps dies.

For the fairy banner, I used Misfits Foiled Paper Pack which contained all the colors I wanted for my banner.  The Misfits Packs contain twice the quantity of foiled papers as the regular packs due to minor imperfections in the foils which are barely noticeable.

Poppystamps has an amazing selection of Faeries dies.  I used Nimble Faeries, die cutting 5 different colored faeries in Violet, Jade, Fuschia, Blush and Lavender.

I die cut wings from Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  Look how delicate they are and how amazing they look with the foils. 

I created banner pieces from Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and Silver Starstruck.  For support, I found a set of faux leather banner pieces in my stash and used them as the base for the banner.

Adhering the foil banner pieces together, I placed them atop the faux leather banner pieces which were assembled with brads.

The faeries were placed on each banner and the wings were slipped behind each.

What little girl wouldn't love this banner in her room!

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Cards with Rinea Foiled Papers

Hi everyone, I'm on the Rinea blog with 2 Spring Hello Cards using Poppystamps dies.

I love the Floral Stem Collage die because I find the options are endless.

For my first card, I used Misfits Foiled Paper Pack which contained all the colors I wanted for my card. I die cut both the Jade Starstruck and Ebony Starstruck foils together, then cut away the flower on the Ebony frame. I also die cut 2 flowers from Blush/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.

The Ebony and Jade frames were adhered together and one of the Blush flowers was placed on top.

A panel of Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper was adhered behind the window and the panel was added to a pink card. A second flower was formed and added to the card, giving it additional dimension.

The Little Halo Hello die is a 2 die set that can be used individually or together. I love the delicate word, so I just used the word, cutting it from Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  Finally, I added Nuvo Drops to the corners of the card.

My second card uses the same dies, but I chose to create a shaker card. 

The Floral Stem Collage die was die cut from Jade/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and Marigold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. After cutting away the Marigold flower, I assembled the panels together. Using Oma's Postcard Stamp with Ghost Ink, I stamped it on the Marigold panel.

The Marigold panel was added to a Silver Starstruck panel with foam tape to create the shaker and assorted Robin's Nest dew drops were placed inside.

2 flowers were die cut from Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and added to the panel. A gem was added to the flower center.  The Little Halo Hello die was also die cut from Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and added to the corner of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Fall with Rinea and Joy Clair

Hi everyone, I'm on the Rinea blog with 2 different fall cards today.

Using Lawn Fawn dies, die cut Marigold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  Using the Joy Clair Fall Leaves stamp set, stamp assorted leaves with Staz On Pigment Ink in Chocolate Brown.

Using the Poppy Stamps Botanica Frame, die cut Mocha/Mocha Starstruck Foiled Paper.

Add the die cut panel to a green card.  Place the Marigold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper panel on top.

Add a strip of burlap across the center, placing a strip of Marigold across it's center, then wrap with twine.   Stamp the phrase on Marigold and die cut.  Mat it with a larger Mocha die cut and add to card with foam adhesives.

Finish by placing assorted dew drops about the card.

Using the same stamp set, I created a second card using Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.

The leaves were stamped on Ruby/Gold  with StazOn Shamrock Green and the veins were stamped on top with StazOn Chocolate Brown.

Add a strip of burlap across the center of the card, placing a strip of Ruby/Gold across it's center, then wrap with twine.   Stamp the phrase on Ruby Starstruck with StazOn Piano Black Ink and die cut.  Mat it with a larger Mocha die cut and add to card with foam adhesives.

Add assorted dew drops about the card.

Does it feel like fall yet?

Thanks for stopping by.

Fabulous Vacation

Hi everyone, it's vacation time so why not send someone a sweet card.

The background was created using The Crafter's Workshop stencil with brown ink.

Circles were die cut from the center panels so a ship could be added.   The sentiments were added around the ship.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Cards with Rinea Foils

Hello everyone, my recent post on the Rinea blog with two very different, yet very similar cards using Rinea Foiled Papers.

I had this amazing Poppy Stamps background die which is a perfect size for creating cards.  Using the die, I die cut Fuscia/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  It die cut the foil amazingly well.  Look at all those details!!

I matted the die cut panel on the reverse side so the gold foil would show.

Taking the die cut script hello, I placed it on white card, then added a label around it.

My next card uses Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and the same die; however, this time, I used the die to emboss rather than die cut the panel.  I then added a die cut flourish from Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper, adding it to the left corner.

After matting the panel with white cardstock, I wrapped it with ribbon.  The panel was added to the card with foam adhesives.  HELLO was then die cut separately from Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper and added to die cut ovals.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
