Cheapo Dies - Happy

Hello Friends!

Today I've created a card for you using a fun

die from the  Cheapo Dies Store.

With winter in full swing it's always fun to
send a card or two to friends who are struggling
through the winter months just like I am!  LOL

This little guy would make anyone smile!!  

 The die I've used is called 'Singing Bird'




For my card, I've die cut my image three times and glued them together.  By stacking them together, it created a well which I filled with waterfall glitter glue.
Then I die cut a larger circle using a Tutti Designs 'Dotted Nesting Circle'
 

 as my matting panel.  The word happy comes from the Memory Box 'Share the Happiness' set.

Cheapo Dies - Dream

Hello Friends

With winter still in full swing here in Ohio, I'm 

really beginning to get cabin fever and a

bit depressed!  So I thought today I'd lift my spirits

and create a card for you using some fun

dies from the  Cheapo Dies Store.

I have used three Cheapo dies to create this scene:

Beach Chair

Palm Trees

Newsprint Font

A few easy steps and your card is ready to go!

I've die cut all my dies from white card stock then colored

those little pieces that 'drop out' for my added

color.  My background was created by simply sponging

brown ink on the bottom and blue ink on the

top of a panel of white card stock 1/8" smaller than my card base.

Cheapo Dies - Thanks for reaching out!

Hello Everyone!!

Today I'm sharing a fun card of thanks using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.  And, having a little fun with a 'play on words'. 

 

 The Cheapo dies I've used on today's card are:

Branches

 

 Octopus

 

This card was fun & easy to create!

As you can see I die cut the octopus twice in order to create a shadow effect.

My sentiment is computer generated and I have used a couple other dies to create my scene.

Tutti Designs 'Fishing Net'



Little B 'Mermaid'

Cheapo Dies - Lucky Horseshoe

Hello Dear Friends!

Today I'm sharing a card for the upcoming

St. Patrick's Day celebrations using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

Actually, this card could be used for a variety

of topics that someone might need a little encouragement on.

 

 

The die used today is the 

 

Lucky Horseshoe

 

 

 

 I have die cut the horseshoe several times and glued them

together for texture and dimension.  The floral

die was cut from gold foil paper and the

sentiment was created using an alphabet set

of dies.

I hope you've enjoyed what I've shared today, and, if you're not familiar with Cheapo Dies, you are missing out!!!

Cheapo Dies - Elephant Love

Hello Dear Friends!

Today I'm sharing a sweet card for your 'Sweetie'

using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

 

 

The dies I have used today are:

Elephant Love

 

 

 

Cursive Font

 

 

 

I had some fun creating with this adorable elephant die and as I was creating this card my mind was swirling with other ideas ... i.e.,  a child's birthday card, a baby card (pink elephant or blue) or you could cut off the heart balloons and just use this adorable little guy all by himself.) 

 

 Here's a few steps taken for today's card share . . .

I die cut from three different colors of card stock ... white (entire die), pink (elephant) and red (balloon bouquet).  After adhering the red balloons over the white, I decided to add back in the pink balloons that I had cut from the elephant and tucked them in behind the red ones.  This gave me a BIG bouquet of balloons when completed.

I placed a little square of black card stock on the back of my elephant to give him a more defined eye.

Isn't he just the cutest!  

And the markings on his ears & legs die cut beautifully!!

Fabulous definition!

I've popped him up on a couple stackable hearts created using the Tutti Designs 'Nesting Stitched Hearts'

 

 then added my sentiment off to the side.  

By using these 'font' dies, you can spell out what ever you want ... how cool is that!

 

REMEMBER ... Valentine's Day is right around the corner!!

Cheapo Dies - Let's Escape Winter . . .

with a trip to the Islands!

Hello Dear Friends

Today I'm sharing a Winter Escape to the Islands creation 

using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

 

 

If you live in an area that is experiencing WINTER at the present time, then the thought promoted by this card will catch your eye!   Wouldn't it be nice to be basking in the sun on a far away island watching the palm trees sway in the ocean breeze?   THAT is where my mind was when creating this card and watching the snow flying around outside.

 

The die I have used on today's card is 

 

Palm Trees

 

 

 

 

My vision for today's card was to have this die as my main focus so I began by die cutting from various scraps of colored card stock and my main image from white card stock.  Then started piecing my scene together.

 

 

Next came all the pieces I needed (which many were left over bits & bobs from past creations) to bring this island scene to life.

 The seashells, stamp, sentiment panel were all fussy cut from a scrap piece of Graphic45 seaside designer paper I had in my stash.

Cheapo Dies - Load of Love

Hello dear Friends!

Today I'm  sharing a truck load of love using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

 

The die set I have used today is appropriate named

 

Loads of Love

 

 

 

 

 

With all these fun die pieces, you can have so much fun loading your truck with as many hearts as you want and making your truck any color you want.

 

I have a girlfriend who drives a shiny black pick up (which she is VERY proud of!) ... so I'll be using this die to create her next birthday card.

I chose to load my truck up with a huge load of hearts (for hubby) come Valentine's Day (trying to get ahead of the game! lol)   I've also added a little sparkle to one of the hearts (Diamond Stickles) and used it as an exclamation point after the fun sentiment.

 

 

 

The designer paper I've used on today's creation is from the Graphic45 'Place in Time' 12 x 12 paper pad and, I've also created a frame to showcase my truckload of love using the Memory Box 'Wrapped Stitched Rectangles' (#30117).

Cheapo Dies - Home is Where my Cat is!

Hello dear Friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun feline creation 

using dies from the Cheapo Dies Store.

The die set I have used today is appropriate named

Playful Kittens

My card came together very quickly with the help of this pretty

Graphic45 designer paper.  These playful kittens fit right in with the

paper but for added dimension, I've die cut three times and

glued them together!

I hope you've enjoyed what I've shared today, and, if you're not familiar with Cheapo Dies, you are missing out!!!
