DCD- New year!!!!

I can't believe it is already the last day of 2016!!! The year has flown by. I decided to make a few New Year cards to celebrate. A big thank you to our sponsor on the Die Cut Diva's blog this month DiesRUs!!!

For my trio of cards I used the same stamps and dies, I just changed the layout and colors.

I used the Twisted citron and salty ocean distress inks to highlight the numbers. I adhered the panel on foam to the cardbase. I added some wink of stella to the numbers and stars for a little sparkle.

For cards 2 and 3 I used abandoned coral and squeezed lemonade distress inks for my colors. I have wink of stella on the numbers on both cards as well as on the stars.

I used the numbers that were left over from the first two cards and layered them for dimension on the last card.

Here is a closer look as I tried to show the sparkle...

Thank you for stopping by and have a Happy New Year!!!

DCD- Merry Christmas

Today's post is for the Die Cut Diva's and we are sponsored by Dies R Us. Our theme is layer it...

I used a die to create window to get more layers with out a lot of extra bulk.

I started by stamping my images and coloring the deer and presents with colored pencils. I used my dies for the bench and light, but fussy cut the other images. I did stamp and color two of the green presents, so that I could layer one with a pop dot on top of the other. I die cut the window out of my panel and used it to layer all of my pieces in the right area. Once all my images were adhered on the cardbase, I stamped my sentiment on the panel and then layered it on the top of the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Today's post is for the Die Cut Diva's challenge. Our challenge is Layer it and our wonderful sponsor is DiesRUs



My first card this month...

I started by stamping my image (Stampendous) on watercolor cardstock and used distress markers with a water brush to color it in. Once it was dried I die cut as much of the image I could with a stitched oval die from Lawn Fawn. I used two layers of foam tape to pop my image piece up from the card. 

Looking forward to see what you share with us for out Layered or layer it challenge this month!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
