A Month of Holidays

Welcome to a month of holidays.

Le Crystelle Clothing and Crafts

August Challenge is Your Favourite Holiday

I wanted to remind everyone that we will be limiting the number of submissions to the Die Cut Divas' challenge blog to 4 maximum from August 2015 forward.  If you submit more than 4, the submissions after the last four will be eliminated from being chosen.  Thank you as always for your wonderful submissions.

 I can't go long without using a tissue box. My choice of die from Le Crystell was this gorgeous Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments set.  The largest ornament is perfect for those big box gifts. The largest die is 5 inches long and about 2 1/3 inches wide.  It's one of those "WOW" moments when you see the size.

Love a Summer Flower

Arlene here.  Hannah asked me to post my latest card here on the 29th, so without further ado.

I used a "love" die from Little B "Handwritten" with a beautiful Memory Box Kyle Stem set upon the Elizabeth Crafts Design card front.

Card standing up 

Inside of Card - you can see the 3 squares I inserted through the hold in the front of the card on the inside panel.  I thought it added something extra to the inside.  

II used the Memory Box Hello Scrpt, A Little B "you" and another Memory Box left-over die-cuts from the Cityscape Nightline on the left side.  
I have seen the front on another piece of card stock, but wanted to see if this die-cut front piece could function on its own and YES IT CAN!

A Paris Visit

Michelle has brought us the elegance of Paris with this minimalist color scheme and fantastic die from Elizabeth Crafts, makes me want to drop everything and book a ticket.

Is it a stamp?

Arlene is the queen of using lovely patterns from tissue boxes she collects, and the pattern below is no exception. It reminds me of fractal art, its just too bad its not a stamp, because I could see myself using it all the time.... (maybe I need to invest in some tissue boxes of my own :).
