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.

I distressed the edges of the tag with a Zutter DIA. A Die-Versions Whispers Ornamental Fence die was layered over burlap. A Die-Versions Regal Reindeer was cut twice and popped up with foam tape. Red gems were added to the swirly antlers.

The flowers are a mixture of Wild Orchid Crafts and Petaloo. A Die-Versions Daisy Flair die was cut in vellum and tucked among the blooms. Merry Christmas is from Craftin Desert Divas Happy Celebrations stamp set. It was heat embossed with Recollections Blaze Embossing Powder.

Enjoy The Little Things In Life & GIVEAWAY!!

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!! You aren't superstitious, are you??!! I am so excited and honored to be a guest designer for My Craft Spot today!! I adore all of Kimberly's stamps and dies and am constantly awed and inspired by her amazing design team!! They are so creative and talented!! Have you seen her latest release?? All must-haves!! I am so grateful to Kimberly for this opportunity :)

I am sharing with you today my shabby little garden, using one of my favorite My Craft Spot stamp sets, Simply Sentiments. The paper for this card is from Prima's Lady Bird stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

The flowers are a mixture of Prima and The Paper Studio. Vines were cut with vellum and tucked among the blooms. The birdhouse is a Prima Shabby Chic Treasure and I attached it to the fence with floral wire that has been twisted. The birds were fussy cut from the paper. Sugar Coating was added to the butterflies to make them sparkle. They were attached with foam tape for dimension.

I thought Enjoy the Little Things In Life was perfect for this card...flowers, butterflies, birds...little things that make life grand :) The sentiment is from Kimberly's Simply Sentiments set:

Aren't all of the sentiments awesome??!! You can purchase it HERE. I also used the Tiny Doilies Metal Dies:

You can purchase them HERE.

I love this stamp set so much, I created another card to share with you :)

I used Bo Bunny's Primrose Collection for this card. The flowers are again a mixture of Prima and The Paper Studio.

Spellbinders Opulent Ovals were used, and the top layer was inked with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. The butterflies were fussy cut from the paper.

This is my favorite sentiment because it is so true...faith does make things possible!!
