Today I’m sharing an all-occasion card created with Memory Box and Poppystamps die cuts.

The new Puffy Cloud border only cuts on the cloud shape edge, allowing a range of lengths for the cloud panel.  I cut each of the hot air balloons twice (adhering them with 2-in-1 glue) and attached them to the cloud panels with dimensional adhesive for extra depth.

Hope you’re having a terrific day!

Penny Black Special Day

Today, I’m sharing a card suitable for a variety of celebrations, (graduations, birthdays, and first days back-to-school come immediately to mind), created with Penny Black die cuts and stamps.

SpecialDay

I die cut the balloons with the Penny Black  51-004 Uplifting die set and used dimensional adhesive to create depth with the balloons. The number frame is cut with a die from the 51-056 Picture This set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Penny Black 30-171 Cupcakes set, onto the card base. I drew the balloon strings with a ruler on a sky blue cardstock panel with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen.

Hope you’re having a special day!

The Cutting Edge Challenge #5

It’s time for the another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Melania Deasy.

I was inspired by her beautiful clustering and use of color. Here’s my take:

The Cutting Edge Challenge #5

I used the Lil’ Inker stitched butterflies die set and a Lil’ Inker sentiment to create my card. I cut the butterflies in three sizes in a variety of cardstock colors, and then began to put them together in a manner that would give justice to the subtle combination on Melania’s card. (Let’s just say that my work table, aka the kitchen table, has a pile of butterflies on it!) I cut a white panel at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the elements and added it to a white card base.

Poppystamps Twinery Blog Hop

Welcome! If you’ve been hopping along on the Poppystamps & The Twinery Blog Hop, you should have arrived at my blog from the blog of Stacey Schafer.

Here’s my card combining a Poppystamps die and twine from The Twinery.

Poppystamps Twinery Blog Hop

I paired the Poppystamps Superstar Border with twine in Maraschino Stripe and Midnight Blue from The Twinery. I cut the Superstar Border in white, red, and blue cardstock, replacing the stars in the white border with red and blue ones. The border section sits on top of a cardstock strip around which I wrapped the red and blue twine. The sentiment was created on my computer. It is printed onto the card base to which I attached the wrapped twine panel and die cut border.
