Holiday Die-Cut Birds

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Elizabeth Crafts Birds set for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #219.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge - Birds

Holiday Die-Cut Birds

I cut the birds from Memory Box cardstock in my stash (the cardstock is vibrant and easy to cut). The birds were easy to assemble. I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Christmas Messages onto blue cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders oval die. I added the birds to the oval with foam adhesive. I used two different stitched square die sets from Lil’ Inker Designs to cut the background (patterned paper in my stash) and the card base. One of the sets includes a die that cuts a stitched square 4.25″ x 4.25″. The square cards size works great for these smaller images.

Magical Holiday Season

Hello!  Today I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring Memory Box dies.

Magical Holiday

This card was easy to put together! I cut a dark blue cardstock panel with the Memory Box Snowdrift Breeze die to create the background. I used the same die to cut white cardstock snowflakes that I placed back into the dark blue panel. I cut the front part of the scene with the Memory Box Horse Sleigh Landscape die. The houses and trees were cut with the Memory Box Country Landscape die from matte silver cardstock. The entire scene was adhered together and taped on to a white cardstock base.

I heat-embossed the Lawn Fawn Merry Messages sentiment (this is a set I’ll be reaching for a lot this season!) on red cardstock to add a little punch to the scene. I used the Lawn Cuts Everyday Sentiment Banners die set to cut the sentiment (trimming off the ends).

Mad for Plaid – Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

I’m playing along with this week’s Merry Monday Christmas Challenge – Plaid.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #218

I created a CAS card featuring the Taylored Expressions Wreath Cutting Plate:

Merry Monday #218 {PLAID}

I went through my stash of Christmas patterned papers and found two patterns that worked well together (after trying out several different plaids). I cut the wreath frame from gold cardstock (Metallic Neutrals pack) and backed the open spots with Scotch tape. I cut the patterned papers with the plate and placed those pieces into the frame. I stamped the sentiment from Ornamental with gold ink on the Red Pepper cardstock and attached that piece to the back of the frame. For embellishment, I added a glittery die-cut bow (Mini Mix & Match Bows).

Halloween Greetings – colourQ 364

Hello! I’m playing along with this week’s colourQ Challenge.

I created a CAS Halloween card with the challenge colors:

This card uses a variety of products from my stash. The sentiments are from an older Reverse Confetti set. I used an Avery Elle tag die to cut one of the sentiments and a Spellbinders circle die to cut the other.

The ghosts, which I backed with the Lilac color (needed to sneak that in!), are Memory Box dies. The dry-embossed background was created with a Stampin’ Up folder.

 

Just Because – Taylored Expressions Die-Cut Fall Scene

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a “just because” die-cut, fall scene created with  Taylored Expressions supplies.

TE Die-Cut Fall Scene

I had an assembled Little Bits – Raccoon on my work table just waiting for a place on a card. Our recent wind and rain storms had me thinking about swirling leaves (of which we’ve seen a lot), and I wanted to create a scene in which the raccoon was surrounded by falling leaves. I happened to also have the dry-embossed base, so it was easy to add a few more items to complete the scene. I’ve never used the Build a Scene – Rolling Clouds dies before but decided they’d be the perfect way to add a sentiment to the scene in an unobtrusive manner!
