A Great Big Thank You to Dreamweaver Stencils

Be sure to see all the Divas today, September 30th, with their "Thank You" cards to Dreamweaver Stencils. I appreciated everything they did for us, from providing generous prize packages to sending the four Divas of Die Cut Divas stencils and materials to work with.  I couldn't help but go to my local stamp shop (The Stamp Art Shoppe) and purchase some more.

Here's my "Thank you" card to Dreamweaver Stencils:

I used Pine Trees LL570 stencil with Dreamweaver Stencil White Paste, colored with Copics and then cut individual trees out to use as embellishments.

Below, I've used a portion of the Season of Joy stencil.  It is lovely on this embossed panel.  Just a perfect dash of color.

Can you tell I love these houses?  They are Dreamweaver Stencils and I've been trying all manner of backgrounds and surfaces to use them on.  LL 459  is the stencil number so you may find it.

A Gift Tag (panel from a tissue box)

Background is a sprayed gold web on green (looks much better in person)

Yes, I know, an odd color scheme, but I like it!

Houses have glass gems on them

Houses on a mauve soft material sparkle background.  One of my personal favorites.

What's going on over at Die Cut Divas?  A little bit of Christmas?  Enter the challenge - CELEBRATE here.


I tend to like bright colors and shapes that are rounded, rather than square, though I do create in the square, so to speak. I used the white matte embossing paste and F/X mica powders from Dreamweaver Stencils.  I left some of the glittery powder in the grooves and took it out of others.  I brightened the berries with some Copic R29.  A tassle by JudiKins adorns the side of the card.  Simple but elegant.

This is truly a beautiful design that can be used in so many different ways.  Just a portion of the stencil is used here in matte black embossing paste - almost a shadow on the paper.  A striking difference, yes!
You can order this Holly Flourish LG 731 at Stencil with Style.

Have You Ever Felt lLke a Tree?

I'm feeling like a tree.  So I made a tree or two with Dreamweaver Stencils and Die-Cut.


Leafless Tree - I used only a portion of the Dreamweaver Stencils die-cut - DX7020.  
Butterflies are made out of a thin orange paper.  A rather Asian feel to it.

Cypress Tree LG 650  Black Glossy Embossing Paste on the tree 
with sponged on Ranger inks in the background.

It's all PAULA!

Be sure to visit Die Cut Divas because it's ALL PAULA!   Her card will simply WOW you!

I will show you a Weight Management flip bound notebook I made recently though.  I used a Saturated Canary freebie on the front with the Dreamweaver Stencil sponged in on the background and a similar sponging on the back with a fence and flowers from my friend, Dawn.  The notebook covers are from tissue boxes that my co-workers save for me.

The Guts of it all
I used a CINCH I purchased at Hobby Lobby to do the binding.  I really LOVE it.  I had a coupon and had to have it.

My little guy here may not be a beauty, but he is a cutie.  This time I used the reverse of the dog die cut.  He is a bright lime green.  He's a very special dog and his name is Lima.
I think he's pretty darn cute.
