I got a new Hero Arts die

Say Hello to Hero Arts and Die Cut Diva's challenge which is to

Make A Shaker Card.

As you can see, I cut out the candles so the sequins would show through.  I die cut the circles, taping two dies together to obtain just the circles 3 or 4 times on the peach paper.  I also die cut the plastic top so I could fill it with sequins.  I looked for a sentiment that would fit the card and continued it inside.  I cut up the phrase "Sending Paper Hugs" to use on the front panel.

Craft Roulette August 16

Lots of fun this weekend following the Parameters set by the wheel at
Craft Roulette.  
Challenging myself with the parameters of Card with Square(s) - postage collage die Color - Bee garden - honey cone stencil with bright colors Element - sunshine, bees & colors in a garden Random: Use a Marker(s) - used Copic markers

I finished my card today for Craft Roulette and it turned out bright and cute.  I received some die cut flowers from my partner in the Card Chain Challenge (who is also a team member on Die Cut Divas).  A BIG thank you to the chatterboxes on Friday or I never would have thought of using the postage collage die cut for my base!  I found some things on my desk, like the shed, flowers and bush (not a clean desk yet).  I used the Honeycomb die to make a mask to sponge the Oxide dye through.  I used a stencil to sponge the sun rays on one shape and just added stuff.  Somehow, out of all of this, I find it cute, fun and uplifting.

Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die

I'm not sure if an unknown chef is hitting one chef with a skillet, but it might be true!  
There's a big "hello" and dark blue is a ROBUST color.  Even chefs have tools of the workplace and I added a heart enamel dot, Nuvo drops, Wink of Stella and gold to the soup dish.  The Silver Moondrops have a lot of glitter to them, just a bit different than Stickles.  First time I've ever used this Nuvo product.

The Rainbow Bridge

I didn't have a card for a friend whose pet had passed away, so when I received my order of dies, I wanted to put together a card with the rainbow bridge.  I had some paper from an envelope with the crisscross pattern, so I stamped directly onto this paper with the "Big Post Card" wooden stamp, which is very old, but still occupies a spot in my heart and stamp drawer.  LOL

I know this isn't the happy rainbow card, but I think we all have a friend who's wonderful animal friend has passed away.

A Wonderful End Of Month Joy Clair Designs Day

The sponsor for Die Cut Divas for April is Joy Clair Designs.  You can find everything from clear and digital stamps to dies, stencils and paper.  I've been creating with JOY!  

The Theme is Tic Tac Toe.  Be sure to join the fun at Die Cut Divas for a larger view of the Tic Tac Toe grid.

The Prize is three digital stamp sets.

I again chose the top Tic Tac Toe grid to work with. This time I made a mini-slimline card by just printing out the top part of the flower image. When I printed it, I really didn't know where I was going with this, but after die-cutting coloring and then filling in the bottom image border with pale green ink, I realized I should have used one of the sentiments in the digital set. Since I couldn't send it back through the printer again, I used an older stamp set to stamp a sentiment. The flowers have a lot of shimmer from the Nuvo glitter drops I used.

Supplies:

Momenta Nested Borders Rectangles (mini-slimline size)

Last Day for Bugaboo Birthday Challenge

I think Bugaboo digital images would make anyone smile and especially on their birthday.  That's what Die Cut Divas' challenge is all about this month.  You only have until 9:00 p.m. Pacific time to enter the challenge at Die Cut Divas.

The theme is BIRTHDAYS

Winner will receive a $12 gift code to shop the store.

It may not be your birthday, but it's someone's birthday, so it's time to make the Die Cut Divas' (DCD) challenge of the month "Birthdays".  What is a birthday without ice cream?  If nothing else, this says summer and fun.  The colors shout it.

I had some pieces of checkered white and yellow paper that couldn't have been better to layer the ice cream shop upon.  Having a great premade card as the base made this an easy card to make.  

Supplies:

Bugaboo Ice Cream Shop

Copic markers

Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles

Elizabeth Craft Designs Happy Birthday (one of the many)

Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss Caribbean Ocean and Midnight Blue

Fabulous Awesome Friend

I made a simple design with a fabulous stencil using Distress Ink fossilized amber. The design impressed me even more after inking it up. I had to go with black sentiments, stamping the "fabulous" and then die-cutting the "Awesome" and "friend" in black glitter paper. As soon as I finished it, I needed a card to send to a fabulous friend who just got out of the hospital.

I usually don't write sentiments in my card or decorate, but I just had to tie the outside and inside of the card together.

Supplies:

Cas-ual Fridays Stamps "Starlequin" stencil (out of stock right now)

Cas-ual Fridays Stamps Bomb Diggety stamp set
