Hello artzy friends… Have you played along with Dare 2B Arzty July Challenge yet? You still have time to join us this month with Christmas in July theme. Today, I would like to share a fun Christmas card idea with you all. Here’s the Merry Christmoose step card.

I used the Center Step Die Set set to make the card base for the Merry Christmoose step card. I cut out a piece of dark red cardstock with the card base die. And then for the background mats, I used one of the pattern papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection Variety Paper Pack. I cut the paper with the layering mat dies that come with the center step die set. I added all the background mats on the card base with the permanent adhesive runner.

I also cut out a heavy-weight vellum paper with the scallop die and added it to the card with vellum adhesive. This vellum background softens the pattern paper a little bit.

I stamped the cute moose with a cocoa mug image from the Christmoose Stamp Set on a piece of heavyweight white cardstock using Arzty Totally Black ink pad. I colored it with artist alcohol markers and then I cut it with the matching Christmoose Die set. I added the moose on the card with thin 3D foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with an archival ink pad on white cardstock and then I cut it with the sentiment banner die from the Center Step Die Set. I added it at the bottom of the card with thin 3D foam tape.

I embellished the card with some glitter light blue sequins to embellish it for extra bling to this fun Christmas card. And as you can see, this center step card can be laid flat to fit inside a regular A2 envelope.

I hope this card can spark an idea for you to make some Holidays cards and share them with us by linking it up at the Christmas in July challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a fabulous day!

Hello artzy friends… It is July already and this month I am joining the Christmas in July at Dare 2B Artzy Blog! It is also the theme for our challenge for this month. Today, I wanna share an idea for a Christmas card. It is fun to make with D2BA stamps, dies, and papers.

On my Christmas card today, I used:

• Deck The Halls stamp set
• Deck The Halls die set
• Mini Hugs Tag die set
• Rectangle Framelits die set
• Merry & Bright Collection Variety Paper Pack
• Totally Black Ink Pad

I cut a piece of blue cardstock with the tag die from the Mini Hugs Tag Die set. And then, I cut one of the ornaments from the Deck The Halls paper with the ornament die from the Deck The Halls die set. I added it to the tag and then I punch a hole on top of the tag to add the twine. I added the tag on the card with thin 3D foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Deck The Halls stamp set on the card with the red ink pad.

I added the O’ Christmas Tree paper on white cardstock and then I cut it with one of the Rectangle Framelists dies. And then I added it to the red card base with the permanent adhesive runner.

On white cardstock, I stamped several of the snowflakes from the Deck the Halls stamp set with light blue ink pad and then I cut them with the matching Deck the Halls die set. I added them on the card with thin 3D foam tapes.

For the inside, I cut a piece of white cardstock with one of the Rectangle Framelits dies set and I added it inside the card with a permanent adhesive runner. And then I stamped another sentiment with the Totally Black ink pad.

I hope this gives you an idea for your Holidays project. Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Summer oh Summer… In spite of the excessive heat we have this week, I am dreaming of cool, fresh, breeze by the tropical island, sipping fresh coconut juice! I miss my home country!!!

Inspired by Summer, I made this card using the digital paper from Graciellie Design for the background cut out fruits.

The watercolored background, I used All That Jazz Catherine Pooler Design ink pad and splash of water on watercolor paper.

I stamped the sentiment from Futtering Friends stamp set from Catherine Pooler Designs with 2 colors ink pads: Tiara & Tiki Torch using Mini MISTI.

Die sets I used for the frame and sentiment label are from Dare 2B Artzy.

Hello artzy friends…Father’s Day is just around the corner. Today, I would like to share an idea for a Father’s Day card.

I made this CAS slimline card using new Triangle Accent Foil Plate, Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies, Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies, and Special Family Stamp Set. 

The new Hot Foil Plates are amazing for creating stunning background accents. You can use any hot foiling machines you have with any of the D2BA Hot Foil plates. For my card, I used Gemini Foilpress machine with D2BA Triangle Accent Foil Plate. It looks simple yet glowing. I simply follow the steps on the booklet that comes with the machine.

After hot foiling process, I cut it with one of the rectangle dies from Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies and I cut another mat with the larger size die with teal cardstock. I stacked them together with permanent adhesive runner glue on the slimline card base.

For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed one of the sentiment from Special Family Stamp Set and then I cut it with one of the label dies from Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies. I added on the card with the same glue adhesive.

I hope this card can give you another idea to create a card for our June Artzy Challenge – Masculine. hanks so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Hello hello hello coffee loving crafty friends… Anything can perk you up and for me it is coffee. Today, I wanna share this perk up mini slimline card with you all.

I made this coffee card today using the new Latte Love Stamp Set, new Frappe & Donut Die Set, new Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies, and Sunburst Stencil. The Mini Slimline card base I used is 6″ X 3.25″ that fit perfectly with all the D2BA new Slim Mini dies. 

I used gelli printing technique to create that background. I dabbed the dye inks directly on the gelli plate and spray lightly with water. Then, I added the stencil and I put the watercolor paper on top. I gently pressed the paper and then I removed the paper and stencil off the gelli plate. I grabbed another watercolor paper and pulled another print off the gelli plate. 

I dried the printed paper with craft heater and then I cut it with the largest size of the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies. I added the front panel on too of the slim mini card base with permanent adhesive runner.

I stamped the coffee cup, sleeve, and lid on a watercolor paper with black pigment ink and dried them. I colored then with watercolor brush pens and water brush. I dried them again and then I cut them with the coordinating dies. I put the pieces together with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added the cup on the card with permanent adhesive

I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with black pigment ink and then I cut it with the label die from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies. I added it on the card with 3D foam tape.

This new coffee stamps and dies are also available in this coffee amazing bundle that you can grab them with sale price!

That’s my card today! Hope this brings some sunshine into your day. Thanks so much for stopping by!
