Dies R Us - Anything Goes

 

 Hello Friends!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.
Remember, our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES as long as you use dies carried by companies at the Dies R Us Store!

Only a couple of dies were used on today's card and a whole lot of paper piecing fun!

I began with the Impression Obsession Layered Heart Frame ...

Impression Obsession - Dies - Layered Heart Frame

 I actually die cut it three times ... once from white, then red, then pink.  This gave me the opportunity to paper piece the hearts back in using two different colors and I have the other frames and pieces to create two more cards.  The frame is set up for an A2 card but I created an A6 card ... leaving me room for this fun sentiment die ... Sue Wilson - Perspectives - Hugs.

I simply LOVE this die set.  You can use it in SO MANY different ways.


As you can see here, I've used the POSITIVE cut for the word HUGS.  I die cut it a second time from black card stock in order to make it stand out a bit more on the background by giving it a 'shadow' effect.  I then used a white gelly roll pen and did a little faux stitching on the letters to once again, make them pop a bit more.  Lastly I popped it up using dimensional tape.

For the words above & below HUGS I've used the negative.  Leaving me all the little letters to use on those other cards I'll be making with the left over pieces from this creation.  LOVE when you can do that!!

Don't forget to check out sister store in Canada . . .
Dies R Us now has a sister store with warehouses in USA & Canada called Didi Crafts 

 


It will ship to both the US and Canada. Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different. Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!

  
 I hope you will come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  There's a new challenge offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store
