Congratulations Easel Gift Box

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful last week in April!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a easel card gift box to share with you today. For the tutorial on how to put them together, click HERE.

The papers are from Prima. I used a Whispers Lacey Dots die along the sides of the box and for the easel stop. Congratulations is a Compliments Everyday die, and it was cut twice for a shadow effect. The heart above it is a Wee Petites Heart Doodle die.

A Whispers Heart Burst die was used in the background. The middle heart was cut from red paper and popped up with foam tape. The couple is a Whispers The Proposal die. It as also cut twice for a shadow effect and popped up with foam tape. A Whispers Daisy Flair die was cut in vellum and tucked among the Wild Orchid Crafts blooms.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
2. Decorate to Celebrate - Anything Goes
3. DL.Art - April Linky

For the Newlyweds!!

Happy Friday everyone!! I hope you have fun plans for the last weekend in May (how is that possible??!!) It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I hope you will stop by there to say hi :)

My card today is in celebration of a wedding, featuring dies from the May Wedding Bells and Father's Day release, as well as several other Die-Versions dies. The paper for the card are from Prima's Divine paper stack. For the background of the card, I used the Whispers Bricks Background die, keeping some of the bricks in place. The Celebrate Express Banner was cut twice...once in patterned paper and once in black and then offset for a shadow effect.

Two sizes of Heart Doodles Wee Petites dies were used...one for the sentiment and one that was covered in glitter and added to the top of the gem swirl. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags stamp set. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. A Whispers Daisy Flair die was cut in vellum and tucked among the flowers. A Wee Petites Button die was added to the center of the bow.

The Whispers The Proposal die was popped up with foam tape for dimension. Gems were added to the dress and you can't tell in the photo, but they were brushed with a Wink of Stella glitter brush so they really sparkle in person :)
