Little B Block Out Thank You Cards

I needed a couple of Thank You cards a while back, and wanted to use the word dies I have from Little B's Block Out die set.
For my first, I used the card shown here by Yoonsun Hur for inspiration, with flower dies from the Persian Motifs set by Altenew, and ink blots from the Gorgeous Grunge set by Stampin' Up.

My second card uses a new banner die set soon to be released by Sizzix.

Pop It Ups Butterfly Pivot Card (Elizabeth Craft Designs) & Paris Edges

Image
Here's a card which was made for Karen Burniston's Elizabeth Craft Designs stand at the recent CHA show. I used Karen's Butterfly Pivot Card die set, to cut the moving butterflies, and large butterfly decorative layers. I also used Karen's new Paris Edges set for the lovely doily-like floral edges. I used the Butterfly Accessory Dies set to create the almost embossed look of the butterfly background. It's easiest to stick wide Elizabeth Craft Design double-sided tape to the card stock before die cutting the little delicate butterflies, so they are made into stickers, rather than doing lots of fiddly glueing. And the front of the card with some ribbon, paper flowers and metal butterflies added. All the papers are from First Edition's Bella Rose collection. Some of the products used:

Pop Up Hot Air Balloon Birthday Card & We R Memory Keepers Frame Punch Board

Image
I've loads of family and friends whose birthdays are in March, so today I have another birthday card to share. I used the Hot Air Balloon with Pop Up die set by Karen Burniston from Elizabeth Craft Designs, which creates the pop up mechanism, the balloon layers and two smaller clouds. The two larger clouds are from Papertrey Ink. The papers are all from American Crafts Fine and Dandy 12x12 pad. The banner die is from an old Papertrey Ink set (Stitched Sentiments), and the stamp is also from Papertrey Ink (April Mini Stamp Set). You can see the double pop-up mechanism better here. I added a frame to the bottom of the card, to write a message in, which I cut using my new Frame Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. I really like this new board! - it's easy to use, and you can pick your own size for the outer frame, with lots of variation to the thickness of the frame walls. It also allows for rounding the corners if you want. Quite a few people ask me what I do to decorate the ...

Tim Holtz's Sizzix Village Cottage Dwelling/Brownstone Houses with Craft Consortium Tanya Whelan Wild Rose Papers

Image
Well, I had immense fun with this little project! I recently bought some of Tim Holtz's Sizzix Village dies, and got to have a play with them. Here's what I've made so far. I bought these five dies in a bundle from Cutting Edge Crafts (UK), and they are available here in the US, among other places.  I used all patterned papers from Craft Consortium's Tanya Whelan 'Wild Rose' 12x12 pad. I love how they co-ordinate! My first house was made using the Village Dwelling die, decorated with the Village Cottage die (which creates the shuttered windows, dormer windows and fence), and the Village Rooftops die for the roof shingles. I've seen the Village Cottage die called the Village Bungalow die in some places in the UK. I decorated the house with moss and paper flowers, and made the little wreath above the door with wire stems from the paper flowers, and a bit of moss. Just a note on adhesive.  I used an ATG gun on the large house flaps and strips of roof shingles....
