Die-Versions Post ~ Celebrate

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a couple of celebration cards to share with you today featuring several Die-Versions dies. If you use the code lisa15, you'll get 15% off your regular-price Die-Versions order.

I used papers from Maja Designs Vintage Spring Basics for my cards. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

For the bottom layer of dies, I used a Whispers Ornamental Fence die covered with a Whispers Stitched Nesting Squares die on the top and a Whispers Hexagon Background die on the bottom.

The middle panel was created with a Whispers Butterfly Punch Border die. Along the edges are Whispers Flower Border dies. Celebrate is a Compliments Holiday 1 die, popped up with foam for dimension. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the beautiful crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART.

And now for my project...

 I created two Mother's Day cards using several Die-Versions products. The cards are pretty much the same except for the colors.

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.

My Mom and Dad will be celebrating their anniversary in November so I created this card in celebration of the event :) The papers are from Authentique and Canvas Corp. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The background is a Whispers Hexagon Background (love this die!!).

A Whispers Lucky Scallop was used as the base for the flowers. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. A Whispers Daisy Flair die was cut in heavyweight card stock and tucked among the blooms.

Happy is from My Craft Spot's Halloween Potions stamp set. A Sweet Wordlet Anniversary die was cut twice, once in black for a shadow effect. The butterflies are Wee Petites Buggy dies. They were covered in Sugar Coating.

I Adore You Wall Hanging

Happy Friday, everyone!! I hope you have fun plans for the first weekend of April!! Today is the last day to enter my Blogaverary Giveaway, so if you haven't linked up a picture, make sure you do before midnight tonight (click on the link above)!! Remember, it doesn't have to be your baby picture, it can be your children, grandchildren, pets or favorite project...whatever you would like to post :)

It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I would love for you to stop by and say hi!! I have a wall hanging to share with you today :) The base is chipboard and it was covered with white acrylic paint. Once the paint dried, it was sanded it to take some of the color off. The papers are from Prima's Divine paper stack. I dry-brushed some of the white paint onto the background paper to soften it up a bit. A Die-Versions Whispers Hexagon Background die was cut in heavyweight cardstock and added next. The banner was created with a Die-Versions Whispers Lacey Dots die and the triangles were cut from the paper.

I used one of my older Julie Nutting Prima Doll stamps for this project. She was just the right size :) She was stamped on old book paper and cut out. Her dress was paper pieced and the top layers were popped up with foam tape to give some dimension. The butterfly on her shoulder and the bird were fussy cut from the paper.

The Die-Versions I Adore You Sweet Phrases die was cut from the Prima paper and then it was embossed on a piece of white paper. The patterned paper was then placed over the embossed white paper so that the letters popped through the holes. I then glued the small pieces from the patterned paper back on. The flowers are from Prima and the butterfly is a piece of chipboard that was covered with the paper and then covered with Glossy Accents and crystal gems.
