For these cards, I used papers from Maja Designs. A Whispers Bricks Background die cut in heavyweight cardstock and added next.

Next, I used a Whispers Butterfly Collage die, but it's a little hard to see. Tucked under the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers is the new Whispers Flourish die.

The butterfly is a Wee Petites Buggy die, and it was covered in Sparkle N Sprinkle Crystal Ice glitter. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART.

For the sentiment, I used one of the new Whispers Tag Set dies.

Oriental Hidden Garden Card

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions Blog and I have a card to share with you using two of the dies from the newest release, as well as several other Die-Versions dies.

For my card, I created a hidden garden. The gate is the new Whispers Oriental Screen. I cut it out in foam and adhered it to the cardstock for some dimension. Thinking of You is from the Compliments Everyday die. Tucked among the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers is a Whispers Daisy Flair die, which isn't currently in stock.

Open the gate to reveal the beautiful Whispers Geisha taking a stroll with her glittered parasol. She is joined on her stroll with several critters from the Wee-Petites Buggy die set. She's staring at the Whispers Butterfly Garden die (not currently in stock). I used a hole punch on some Velcro to keep the gate closed.

Wishing You Happiness

Happy Tuesday!! I hope all of my US friends had a safe and happy Memorial Day!! Wow, can you believe it's almost June??!! The year is half over and I don't know where the first half went!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you today using the new Whispers Vintage Sign from the May Release :)

I wanted these cards to look like the vintage signs were hanging in a flower garden. I used a combination of several Die-Versions dies. The papers are from Prima's Nature's Garden stack and the edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.

For the backgrounds, I used my all-time favorite Whispers Bricks Background die. Seriously, I love this die so much...it's definitely one of my most-used dies. Beneath the cluster of flowers is a Whispers Ring of Hearts die.

The Vintage Sign was popped up with foam tape. The dragonfly is a Wee Petites Buggy die. It was cut twice, with the top layer covered with sugar coating. A Whispers Butterfly Garden die was added along the bottom. The butterflies were fussy-cut and covered with sugar coating.

I used a Whispers Hexagon Background die for the background of the cards. A Whispers Ring of Hearts die was popped up with foam tape and placed behind a Whispers Butterfly Punch Border die. Sticky tape was placed behind both the Ring of Hearts die and the Butterfly Punch Border and then sugar coating was sprinkled inside for a beautiful sparkle.

The light is a Whispers Gas Lamp Sign die...I cut off the sign part so it would fit with the design. The butterfly is a Wee Petites Buggy die. Mom was cut from A Little Mint Font. The button on the ribbon is a Wee Petites Buttons die.

Happy Friday!! Only a few more days until Christmas...I hope you are almost done with your shopping and preparations!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I took a step away from Christmas cards to create this thank you card.

The Cut Out dies are so much fun - they make a beautiful focal point on the front of a card. I cut the Thank You Cut Out die out of first the base paper and then the top layer, offsetting it a bit. Behind the Thank You, I added iridescent vellum to highlight the sentiment. A Whispers Lacey Dots die was tucked beneath the ribbon and adorned with gems. A Wee Petites Button die was added to the center of the bow. A Wee Petites Buggy Butterfly was covered in sugar coating and gems and popped up with foam tape for dimension.

Happy Birthday

Happy Friday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions Blog and I have a birthday project to share with you using several Die-Versions dies.

For this card, I used a Whispers Summer Flowers Background die as the base. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

The butterflies fluttering about are Wee Petites Buggy dies, and they were covered with sugar coating and popped up with foam tape. Gems were placed on the centers of the flowers.

For the Happy sentiment, I used the largest button in the Wee Petites Button die set. Birthday is a Sweet Wordlet Birthday die. A Whispers Lacy Dots die was placed under the ribbon. It's a little hard to see in the pictures, but Whispers Daisy Flair dies were cut in vellum and tucked among the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.
