White Magnolia

  Hi,

It's Cindy here to share another card created using my New Craft Items, Sunbird Spark's Magnolia Beauty Clear Stamp and Belleza Frames Nested Dies.

I die cut the Belleza Frames with mirror card stock, then I cut the two outer frames into 4 pieces.  I then glued them onto my green ombre card base as shown in the photo.  It makes an interesting design in the background.  Also depending on how you tilt the card, the mirror card stock gives you different colors.

I used foam adhesive to attach the smallest frame and the hand cut magnolia bloom which was stamped in black and colored with alcohol markers.  I decided to not add an sentiment until I use it.  

The sponsor for this month is Sunbird Spark, the challenge winner will receive $20CAD gift code.

Our challenge theme is to use New Craft Items, please indicate what is/are your new craft items in your description.  And remember to use die cut and/or dry embossing on your project to qualify for the drawn.  

Hop over to Die Cut Divas Challenge Blog to link up.  If you're on social media, use hashtag #diecutdivaschallengeblog.  I'll see you in the challenge gallery.

Have a wonderful day!!

Merry Christmas with Waffle Flower

Merry Christmas to all.   Christmas Eve today, and I'm sharing my card for the Die Cut Divas. My usual day is the 25th, but I've decided to post a day early.

Our lovely sponsor is Waffle Flower 

Today I have two cards to share.... both using the Poinsettia Frame die and stencil set... in two different colours schemes. 

First one is a dark pink poinsettia

I die cut the frame twice and used the matching stencil to add colour.  This first one used Simon Hurley's Prom Queen ink for the flowers and two Distress Ink green inks for the leaves.  I die cut the sentiment from Altenew's Citrine glitter and added some splatter with Distress Spritz - Fossilised Amber.   

And I made a second one... using some pale green to colour the poinsettia 

Changed up the sentiment as well and added some glitter dots and spritzed with some dark green ink

Wishing everyone a good day tomorrow.

Waffle Flower ~ Birdie Friends in Winter

Hi Crafty Friends! It's Sue with a card for you today. Our December challenge is

CHRISTMAS/WINTER

Our sponsor this month is Waffle Flower. They will be giving our winner a $15 gift card to their online store. Thank you Waffle Flower for your generosity.

Here's my CHRISTMAS/WINTER card

I used Waffle Flower's Birdie Friends in Winter dies and the coordinating Birdie Friends in Winter stencil to create my card. Aren't the birdies super cute? I think so. They are so cozy wearing their toques and scarves. I used an old Waffle Flower's Fa-la-la stamp set, which I see is not retired, for the sentiment. For specific details on how I created my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog here.

We'd love to see your CHRISTMAS/WINTER creations in our gallery. Be sure to use a die cut or an embossing folder to create your card.

See you later this month.
