die cuts - Right as Rain

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge – Penguins

Hello. I’m playing along with the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge whose theme this week is Penguins. I created a CAS card showcasing the Marianne Design Penguin die set.

The Marianne Design Penguin die set includes two penguin options. (I purchased my set from 123Stitch. Marianne Design is headquartered in The Netherlands and sells through a few US retailers.)

I created the background scene by partially die-cutting the mountain included the Marianne Design Igloo and Mountain set. I had to hand cut the edges to span the card’s width. I did this as I didn’t want too many layers on the card (I often have two or three snow hills!). The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Let It Snow set.

Supplies: Marianne Design Igloo and Mountain, Hero Arts Let It Snow, Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Square Stackables, Taylored Expressions Salt Water Taffy (blue cardstock)

Taylored Expressions – Happy Halloween Owl

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Halloween-themed card created with Taylored Expressions products.

To create the background, I applied Distress Oxide inks – Broken China, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade – and then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said – Halloween set. I added the Little Bits – Witch Hat to the Little Bits – Owl which I placed on a branch cut with the On a Limb – Branches set decorated with On a Limb – Leaves.

Winter Wonderland

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a holiday card which showcases the Elizabeth Craft Designs Build a Snowman die set.

I applied embossing paste to the background ( Stampin’ Up Dapper Denim) through the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil (I use this stencil so often during the holidays that I just leave it out). I placed the snowman and broom against a landscape cut with the Memory Box Fresh Pine Curved Border to which I added a few Memory Box Fresh Pine Trees. The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Two Feet Deep set.

Lawn Fawn – Deck the Halls

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card featuring Lawn Fawn supplies, both new and old.

I cut the Lawn Fawn Mini Wreath twice from Stampin’ Up cardstock. I heat-embossed the rectangular panel (cut from the same green cardstock) with a favorite sentiment from the Deck the Halls set. The window was cut with the Lawn Fawn Wonderful Window set. The card base is dry-embossed with a TE Brick embossing folder.

Taylored Expressions – Happy Halloween

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Halloween card created with Taylored Expressions products.

To begin, I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade and stamped the Simply Said – Halloween sentiment with Archival ink over the inks. I cut a circle from a Plum Punch cardstock rectangle, which I dry-embossed with the Weathered embossing folder to add some texture. Around the sentiment, I added die-cuts cut with the sets: Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories, Haunted Accessories, and Little Bits – Ornate Frame.
