Garden Fairy with Sunbird Spark

Hi! Happy New Year! It's Sue, here. Our challenge for the month of January is

USE NEW CRAFTY ITEM

We have a new-to-us sponsor this month, Sunbird Spark. They will be giving our winner a $20 Canadian gift card to their online store.


Here's my card


I used the new-to-me Sunbird Spark Garden Fairy digital stamp. I sized the image and sentiment and printed with an inkjet printer on white cardstock. I added color to the image with Ohuhu markers. I then die cut the image with a Scrapbook.com's Nested A2 arches die. I cut the sentiment into a sentiment strip. I found some polka dot patterned paper for the background. I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase to complete my card. For more details on how I made my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog here.

We love to see how you use a NEW CRAFTY ITEM to create a card for our gallery. Did you receive crafty items for Christmas?

I'll be back later this month with another card.

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!!
