Hello Friends!
There's no time like the present to get started
on those holiday cards!
I couldn't wait to receive some of the new holiday dies released
from Memory Box and available in the Dies R Us Store.
Today
I've created a card as an inspiration sample for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog. I've used both a NEW die and a couple OLDER dies. I love
being able to combine dies to create a quick and impressive card
creation! I think I've succeeded in doing that today ... hope you think so too!
These
newly released dies go in & out of stock quickly so be sure to get
your order placed while they are available! Today I've used one of the
new Memory Box snowflake dies called Dazzling Snowdrift Corner #MBD 99272 which unfortunately at the time of this posting ... is out of stock.
This is really a fun die!
The
snowflakes actually cut & pop out for additional versatility on
your card (as I have done today). First I die cut my corner die from
white card stock ... then from a scrap of the medium blue I used for my
background panel, I die cut just the 3 larger snowflakes. I lightly
sponged Tim Holtz 'faded jeans' distress ink onto the blue snowflakes
and inserted them into the my corner die panel where the white
snowflakes were popped out from.
Follow me?
Maybe this closeup will help ...
After getting the
corner created to my satisfaction, I decided to use a couple of the
white snowflakes from the original cut along with these adorable Memory Box 'Precious Mittens' #98663 and of course a sentiment. In this case, I chose the Cheery Lynn Designs 'Merry Christmas Set' #B186.
Of
course every holiday card needs a touch of sparkle so I grabbed my red
Stickles and added a dab here and there to 'pull it all together'!
AGAIN ... be sure to get your holiday dies on order NOW!
The prices at the Dies R Us store are fabulous ... as are the shipping charges ... and the selection is AMAZING!!!!
